The Nutmeg in Ashford

A great place to drop into for a drink and/or a snack. Friendly staff served us. There's seating outside (when the weather's good) but the seating inside is more homely. The aroma from the deli is delicious. Oh, before I forget, the freshly-made coffee and green tea were very good.

Coffee good but service not good at all. There are plenty of other coffee shops who are happy to have your custom and are friendly.

Undoubtably the best coffee in Tenterden! The service is always lovely, the food is delicious, they cater well for anyone on a Gluten Free diet. It will always be my first choice for my morning coffee before work : )

Great Coffee and average food but staff very complacent and one was quite rude and seemed like they just did not want to be there. Hospitality sector is about first impressions, not a good visit kinda spoils out lunch there, atmosphere very lack lustre we felt.

Stopped in here for a spot of lunch and a coffee with my sister-in-law on her birthday. We couldn't get a seat inside as it is a very small café. But I have to say the lunch was worth sitting outside in the freezing wind for! I had a toasted sandwich of ham, Emmental, pickles and mustard on sour dough - it was so tasty. And the coffee . . . oh, the coffee! I must say, hand on heart, it was THE BEST latte I have ever had! Truly. I've been back for coffee since. HEAVEN!

Love this little cafe! It has so many tempting, delicious lunch choices, many of which are vegetarian and vegan and not your usual run of the mill sandwiches . We particularly enjoy the delicious filo quiches, the butter bean stew, the lentil dahl soup and most recently the curried cauliflower and chickpea toasties. It can get busy but it is worth waiting , or having a wander in the town and coming back.

This is a great if rather petite cafe down the alley by Waitrose. We have been going for years and it is generally busy so it can be difficult to get a seat. However the coffee is excellent and the sausage rolls, platters, quiches and cakes have all been consumed with gusto! Recently we have taken to the cinnamon buns! My wife is not a cinnamon fan but these are exceptional ! Rock on Nutmeg!

Stopped off at Tenterden on our way home from Hastings. Tucked halfway down the main high Street is Sayers Lane which leads to The Nutmeg Deli. Seating inside and out. This little gem of a deli come coffee shop really packs a punch. Limited time was spent here due to it being late afternoon, so we settled for tea and cake. We selected the carrot cake (sadly very dry and crumbly), however the angel lemon cake was to die for. It was out of this world. Light and fluffy cake with a real kick of lemon mousse in the middle with a crispy meringue topping. A wonderful combination . The staff were so lovely and made us feel very welcome and answered all our questions. A great place to stop if you are ever this way.

I have visited The Nutmeg a couple of times recently. It may be small, but it makes up for it’s lack of size in its quality of food and drinks! The counter is well stocked with homemade cakes, delicious sausage rolls, sweet pastries and savoury tarts. A few weeks ago we bought some items for take away, but this time we sat in as the table inside in the corner was available, yay! I really enjoyed the banana bread with cinnamon butter and the hot chocolate is divine, so sweet and creamy. I also love the apricot and rose macaroons; we bought the remaining ones to take home with us. The staff are very friendly and welcoming which is an added bonus! I highly recommend The Nutmeg as a great place to visit for coffee and snacks when in Tenterden!

Staff were charming. Coffee was cold and horrible. Much too strong and not hot. Took over 10 minutes to make the coffee. We were in a hurry so had to go and ask for it in takeaway cups. Lid on cup split so it went all over me. So disappointing

Thank you so much for delicious coffee and tea! Lovely friendly guys behind the counter, lovely vibe, really happy!

Superb filo pastry tarts, soup and cakes. Generous portions and quality ingredients.Coffee very strong; worth having large as small cup is tiny. Cafe cramped and not that comfortable seating, but now plenty of cushions to soften hard seats.Best cafe in town for snacks and drinks with tap water provided on side.

Had an excellent oat milk mocha and the avocado toast. Staff were really friendly, shame there aren’t that many tables.

Popped in for lunch and had the pea, potato and coconut soup which was delicious and then count resist some cake. Very quick and polite service and good value. Will return for sure!

A very lovely place; lots of interesting products. It’s easy to see the friendly team is thoughtful in running the place. Most importantly the coffee was smooth.

We walked in and were thrilled to discover that this delightful little deli does a vegan range! They were very accommodating and happy to adapt any sandwich/dish to suit our needs. Great range of cakes (including gluten free and vegan) and lunch options (again including gluten free and vegan, plus choice of fresh breads/gf bread from local bakery). They offer a wide choice of food to purchase as well- cheese, chocolate and lots of delicious deli bits. Husband said the coffee was excellent! Good smoothies too. Limited seating inside, some tables outside, not really kid friendly unless you have a mini gourmand like ours (ie will eat anything!), no high chairs but they did produce a Bumbo baby seat which was very kind. Overall the service here was fantastic and the food a perfect example of deli x coffee shop. Wish we lived closer so we could come more often!

Very good coffee, much better than you'll get in any of the chains, coupled with delicious food, great ambience and lovely staff make this an easy five star cafe.

One of the best flat whites I've had. I run a deli and get to choose the coffee we serve, but this was as good! I also tried my son's hot chocolate and that too was fantastic, not the usual sweet, sickly Cadbury style chocolate that most places seem to serve.Would loved to have sat down in the interesting and quirky cafe area, as it seemed to have a really friendly and relaxed feel, but we had a tired 5yr old, so we had take-away.The sandwich options looked really good aswell, but we had just eaten, otherwise we would have tried these too.Why go to the 'chains' when for the same money you can get an expertly crafted speciality coffee for the same price!

Came in the other day with my wife, I had a brie sandwich and she had the avocado and sunblush tomatoes, both lovely. Coffee could have been a bit hotter, but that’s my only criticism. Nice atmosphere, coffee beans for sale as well, shall definitely return. Bonus points, the young man who used to work in Bluebell Coffee Shop is here now, he’s always a joy.

It may be small, but this place packs a punch. There is a good reason ‘Trip Advisor’ rates it Number 1 coffee shop in Tenterden.The food is divine! Honestly, never tasted a toastie that is so delicious! Who would have thought something so simple could be made so exquisite.Staff friendly and hardworking - keeping it clean and serving quickly.

Whether you want a snack, meal or just a drink, this is the place to go. As it is a delicatessan as well as an eatery, the smells are delicious, let alone the coffee. Siets are catered for. My wife is Gluten Free and she was able to enjoy a delicious piece of cake with her coffee. The staff were very friendly and helpful, especially when it came to helping my wife make her choice.

I can honestly say in a lifetime of drinking hot chocolate in nearly every cafe I visit this is the best one I have ever had, it was amazing. Also the homemade gluten free cake and biscuits which are made by a very talented lady who I met and she kindly gave me tips on how to create her fantastic creations are great and such a huge choice. I ended up taking home one of everything for my wife and daughter to try. Will definitely be visiting again and again. Thank you

Flat whites to die for always served with a smile. Great fresh coffee and some tempting delights from freshly made sandwiches with great fillings to sumptuous sausage rolls to wonderful cakes and cheeses. A real gem in the centre of town......sometimes a struggle to get a table but if needed...well worth the wait!

This is a tiny cafe and you may struggle to get a seat at busy times but it is worth it. The coffee is smooth and the food is lovely, always freshly prepared. It’s the perfect stop off on the way to or from Waitrose. The sandwiches are large, filling and tasty. The tinned tuna is worth buying as it’s some of the best we have tried. The bread comes from Judges bakery and is great. Check out the deli counter too as the cheeses and other food items are always top notch.

Love this cafe and we go on a regular basis and whenever we are in Tenterden. It’s small and cosy inside in the winter and nice and sunny outside in the summer. The avocado with sun dried tomatoes and sourdough toast with a little black bomber cheese (which I add to my order) is my favourite and extremely delicious. Coffee is great and if you like it hot ask for it. All

We found this after a visit to the nearby Old Dairy Brewery when wandering around the lovely village of Tenterden. Down a side street towards the Waitrose store, The Nutmeg is small (not too much seating) but the food was of good quality and reasonably priced. Good range of options on the menu and everything looked fresh. Would definitely recommend.

The coffee is of the highest quality and expertly made. There was a good choice of tasty sandwiches and more It is a small and intimate place so not much sitting area when raining and busy

We went for morning tea at this little cafe. The cakes were delicious. We sat outside until the rain came but I would go back.

Family of four adults. Food was absolutely lovely, good strong cheese with sweet chutney, sausage rolls with amazing salad. Proper coffee and tea and THE BEST hot chocolate I have ever had.

I found reviews mentioning an excellent coffee barista course at the Nutmeg, run by Grant. He fitted us in at short notice and was thoroughly knowledgable about all things connected with coffee. He was very approachable and answered our many questions patiently. I would definitely recommend it!

went in for two lattes waited ages after watching people coming and going with their drinks we aleady paid thought they gone to milk the cow a member of staff asked if we ok i said still waitng for our drinks said just coming when they arived barely hot didnt even melt sugar we drank straight away and left was going to have cheese scone till i noticed flies on them wont be going back here again

we came here over this weekend and enjoyed a very pleasant sandwich and coffee. the staff were very friendly, three young ladies who treated us very well and looked after us. despite it being packed we managed to find a table and the wait was not long. not only this but the staff actually stopped and had a few words with us when passing. we would certainly visit when next down this way.

We like this place a lot. Its very popular with the locals and the coffee is superb. One of the owners roasts it locally near Tenterden and its fantastic. You can get excellent gluten free and organic food. Their cakes and sausage rolls are excellent.

We popped in for coffee and maybe a little something to eat but only had coffee which wasn't terrible but could've been served a lot hotter than it was and didn't take us long to finish it either. We would've had something to eat but not everything was priced which we found off putting and when we did ask, the waitress was rather unwelcoming with her replies so we didn't bother.

Very good for salads, sandwiches and excellent coffee. Friendly and helpful staff. Not much room inside but tables outside in the summer. No loud music which is a big plus.

We were a family group with grandparents, parents and children. Everyone enjoyed their food - homemade soup, great pies and salads, and yummy cakes. The staff were very

Every time we are in Tenterden, we always try to swing by the Nutmeg. The service is excellent, the coffee the best in the neighbourhood.

Not my first visit to The Nutmeg but sadly certainly my last. Our coffees were only what could be described as tepid and when we dared to ask for them to be made warmer it was done with very bad grace and we were then told by the man (possibly the owner) to be clearer next time as to what we wanted. There will not be a next time as I don't appreciate people being off hand and downright rude. Plenty of other places to go in Tenterden.

A cosy and welcoming little del and coffee shop. Really friendly staff who are very patient with me as I decided what to have. As a coeliac I was really excited to have so many gorgeous gluten free cakes to choose from! 😀

Amazing place with a cosy warm atmosphere...the coffee is incredible and Grant a real expert if you want a chin wag about roasting and tasting! If ya dont stop, you'll miss out!

Stopped here with my wife today for coffee and cake. We had a latte each and my wife had a raspberry cake and I had bakewell tart. Obviously home made the cakes were fantastic and the coffee was the best I think I've ever had. Lovely choice too. I can't think of a negative other than could they open a cafe in Sidcup ?

Popped in here for breakfast on a cold February morning. Tea and coffee was Great, as was the toast and marmalade. Seemed very popular with the locals.

I like to dally over soup (freshly made) and a lovely cappucino..Lovely, friendly young staff who are happy to point out how to help yourself to a free glass of water and how to put up an extra chair. I suppose though that not everyone likes to share a table which you have to do here as it's very small

Lovely little cafe, offering many healthy sandwiches and other light bites, the coffee is excellent and they supply many different teas. avocado and bacon sandwich - excellent . It's small, cosy and inviting for a quick snack

Lovely little Coffee Shop/tea room. Enjoyed my cup of tea, friendly service. Cakes looked very tempting. Well worth a visit.

Gran café agradable y fuerte. Encantado de adaptar café a su preferencia. Pocos asientos dentro pero también tiene asientos al aire libre. Panecillos de salchichas y selección de quesos y pasteles.

Wir waren hungrig und setzten uns in den Außenbereich. Ich habe das Sandwich mit Brie bestellt und war im Food-Himmel!...

Otro gran café/cafetería por Sayer's Lane en Tenterden. Mi habitual almuerzo o 😊 brunch aquí es el chocolate caliente, que es tan relajante y los pasteles y sándwiches son deliciosas! Puede ser acogedor como 😊 y precioso hablador cosas 😊

Estado de la nuez moscada deli unas cuantas veces, y puedo decir sinceramente que nunca me ha decepcionado! Especialmente desde que recientemente reformada, el interior es acogedor y se siente muy rústico (que es apenas porque es lo que hacen bien! ) El personal es amable y asegúrate de que siempre se siente como el cliente más importante cuando te servirán. La comida es para morirse! Especialmente la variedad de atún rollitos de salchicha, el que todo el mundo (alabanzas sobre, ¡y con razón! ) vale la pena 5 / 5 sin siquiera mencionar la calidad del café monmouth. Se lo recomendaría a cualquiera que visite Tenterden con tiempo para un bocadillo y algo de café!

Sin barato bocadillos extras que costará 15 libras! No hay vasos para bebidas, el servicio es lento. No volveremos. Sólo dado 2 estrellas por la ubicación.

Un poco escondido justo al lado de la calle alta, pero sirven un café aquí significa, de hecho, es el negocio

Paramos aquí para una comida ligera. La ubicación no es genial, pero el interior es agradable, bastante pintoresco, podría ser acogedores. A ambos nos pareció el café para ser agradable, pero demasiado débil. Pedí una ensalada de tomate, hummus y lentejas, que era un poco simple, con pocos lentejas. No era nada especial. Sin embargo, los ingredientes eran muy fresco. Mi madre tenía una ensalada al pesto pollo que era considerado normal. Por el precio no estaba a la altura. Sin embargo, el servicio era amable, y yo disfrutamos de la barra de chocolate crudo compré al salir. Su selección de pasteles y quesos muy buena pinta.

Estado en este sitio muchas veces, siempre ha sido buena, especialmente cuando dos chicas dirigido por el precioso que creo que eran o son los dueños.

Sayers Lane is littered with great little independent cafes but we were thrilled to find this one. To say that we were happy to discover that they use Monmouth coffee is an understatement. We spent an inordinate amount of time catching up on our favourite London coffee. Added to that they do gluten free cakes and sandwiches. I recommend the gluten free open sandwich with roast chicken, pesto and lettuce. Their rose and pistachio gf cake was also divine. This place is worth a visit all on its own, that it is perfectly placed near parking, Waitrose and other shopping just off the beautiful High Street makes it a must visit. Its a tiny, rustic café and people squeeze in, sitting at tables with complete strangers. Its got a lovely feel and is clearly a favourite with the locals as well.

Delicious salads and sandwiches. Tempting cakes. Quality coffee. Relaxed atmosphere with nice music. Perfect lunch.

Went for Tenterday Friday market, and decided to go for coffee...coffee was good, and place was cozy. I also ordered tuna sandwich and shared it with my partner, though I loved the coffee but was not impressed with the sandwich.

tiny intimate coffee shop with delicious latte and some gluten free goodies, as well as the dreamiest " Brie de meaux" that i can never resist taking away a discreet slice to gorge in the privacy of home, have occasionally bought some lovely freshly baked bread there too....

The Nutmeg is by FAR my favourite coffee shop. The only complaint I have is that I can no longer bear coffee from anywhere else! I always have a skinny flat white and Mum has a cappuccino. I love the decor and atmosphere, it is so cosily rustic & inviting. After my first few visits, two of the lovely baristas started to recognise me and now know my order by heart! I've had lunch here a couple of times and the sandwiches are delicious- quality ingredients and beautifully thick granary bread. I haven't tried the soups or stew yet- but they're next on my list. There seems to be quite a crowd of regulars who frequent the Nutmeg, I often see familiar faces and most customers are happy to share tables if there is limited space. When shopping in town I no longer have to make a decision where to have coffee- me and Mum always make a beeline for the Nutmeg. I love the fact it's not a big impersonal chain and the coffee is INCREDIBLE, such full flavour, smooth and delicious.

This is my fave place to have a cake or sandwich and sample some excellent coffee. I like the staff and the atmosphere and they always give me a water bowl for my doggy, so we can sit outside.

With our offices right above Nutmeg we use them on a daily basis for coffee, breakfast and the odd sausage roll! Very friendly and warm welcome. Amazing selection of cheeses both local and further afield.

Popped in for a drink on the way through Tenterden. The coffee shop itself is small but very cosy. The cappuccino was creamy, hot and smooth unlike some of the large chains of coffee shops. It had a welcoming feel and would definitely go again. It's just a shame they do not have toilets there.

Charming cafe selling the best quality snacks at reasonable prices. Even sells vegan cake bars. Also does takeaway food. The tomatoe and bean stew was delicious.

Popped into here after we went to Bluebells as we saw on their A-Board that they had home-made bean and tomato stew on the menu as well as dairy free/sugar free/ gluten free chocolate pie on a poster in the windowThe staff were very friendly and helpful when I asked to take away the stew and also had 3 of the chocolate pies to take homeHad the stew at home and yes it was as good as it lookedThe chocolate pies were so tasty too Definitely want to come back hereRecommended - Enjoy

I stopped here late morning for coffee and cake. They had a great variety, we had a delicious banana bread with cinnamon butter, a blueberry an coconut cake and a slice of strawberry and vanilla cake. All were really good an the coffees were really good too. Staff were friendly and service quick. Love the location in Sayers lane, although only a couple of tables outside it's the perfect spot to sit on a sunny morning.

What a find ! Busy quaint deli with inside and outside seating . Charming decor and friendly staff . Ordered the cheese platter and meat platter and both were excellent . Cakes were amazing .

The Nutmeg say they do the best coffee in Kent. Sounds like a boast but if anything they're under selling themselves. There are plenty of expensive coffee houses in London that aren't half as good. It's also a big bonus that their cakes and lunches are excellent, plus the service is always friendly. The Nutmeg is a reason to go to Tenterden and should not be missed. Only downside is the size - it's tiny so getting a seat at lunchtime on a weekend can be tough. Sometimes you have to share a table, but that's just a good opportunity to meet someone new.

Very nice cafe with lovely coffee and cakes and interesting organic pastries. They sell real bread too. Our visit would have been more pleasurable if the woman who served us had been a little more pleasant; a smile would not have gone amiss alongside the barrage of questions about what we wanted. We would also have preferred warmer coffees and not to have to remind them of part of our order which had been 'forgotton'. The pear and ginger cake was lovely though.

Stopped for a quick coffee and it is one of the best coffees I have had for quite some time. I like a barista cappuccino and often they are too large, or too milky. This tasted like the cappuccinos I drink in Italy - perfect. The other food and cakes looked delicious, I will definitely return to try the food.

Small intimate coffee shop where you can eat/drink inside or out depending on weather. A pleasant coffe, better the the main chain coffee houses. Can get busy at time but worth coming back to check after another bit of shopping. Produce looks all homemade and reasonable portions.

Been there many times and always enjoyed their sandwiches, their teas,the cheeses, the freshness and flavours...decor...

We went here this afternoon we had a coffee and hot chocolate the cappuccino was very nice and well made not like the milky rubbish you can get on most high street brands the hot chocolate was very good too made with real chocolate. We didn't eat so can't comment but all the food looked very nice and fresh.

I'm regularly in Tenterden and Nutmeg are one of the best for great coffee and scones.Also have a selection of gluten free products

Having been recommended to eat here by another shopkeeper I was looking forward to lunch but it turned out to be really disappointing.We ordered a latte and americano coffees, and tuna & mayo, Italian ham + sun dried toms + leafs sandwiches.When the waitress brought the order to the next door table his order had been mixed up with ours so we got the americano but had to wait a while for my wife's latte by which time I'd finished mine.After our coffee we decided that we would get a soft drink to have with our food so my wife went into the cafe to purchase. We decided to share a can but they only had one glass available at the time. When the waitress brought our food she said she would bring us another glass but she forgot so I had to go and ask for it. We had waited quite a while for our food which when it came was so disappointing. No garnish or crisps that you might expect when eating in a cafe, also it looked to be ready sliced boring shop bread and further more no sundried toms in my sandwich as described as they use a paste!!!I cannot recall ever having such poor service or disappointing food from a small independent cafe! Overall we spent approximately £20 which does not represent value for money.I would definitely not recommend this cafe.

This small coffee shop has really good coffee and delicious cakes, but there is not a lot of seating and space is limited. All in all really nice friendly staff.

Can't believe they don't have toilets !! Didn't think it was allowed to have coffee shop that sells food and no facilities .

This small sandwich bar provides some of the best quality food there is. Particularly good is the tuna mayo as well as the ham and sun blush tomato. A choice of different local breads together with relishes and dressings make an excellent combination. Not only that but coffee is Monmouth brand which is also one of the best there is. Just be wary there are not many seats as it's very small but if you can try it you will not be disappointed!

I have been visiting The Nutmeg Deli for several years now, always a flying visit on my lunch break and will continue to do so for a very long time. Not only is the food delicious, the coffee is perfection and the prices are fair, the staff are the sweetest, friendliest bunch of people who make me feel like a valued and appreciated customer every single time I pop in. I am currently pregnant and would not hesitate to take my baby in with me when he makes his arrival, I know he will be just as welcome as I am. In fact I am looking forward to the day I can actually sit down and soak up the atmosphere over lunch, instead of rushing straight back to work! I noticed today they had a pan of water outside in case you have a thirsty dog with you- any company who cares about the welfare of animals deserves respect in my opinion.

I regularly visit Nutmeg for sandwiches to take back to my office in Bethersden. It's not the closest sandwich shop but so worth the drive. The food is great and always prepared with care and the portions are very generous. The one time I've had a coffee here it was hands down the best coffee I have ever had, The main reason I come here though is the lovely staff, they are so sweet and friendly and all take the time to make you feel like an individual and not just 'another customer'. I am 7 months pregnant at the moment and the team all show a genuine interest in mine and baby's progress and will always take a minute to ask me how I'm doing. When I leave my job to go on maternity leave I will still make the journey from my home in Rye for a coffee and sandwich now and then as I don't think I could go more than a few weeks without my Nutmeg fix! I would have no qualms in bringing my baby along either as I know they will be just as accommodating when I have him with me.

After lunch in the local Turkish restaurant, we went here for coffee as it had been recommended to my wife.We also opted to share the slice of the Millionaire's shortbreadService was good, friendly and efficient and the coffee was nice.

Busy but efficient little spot . Home made food reasonable prices and friendly staff . Easy place to have a coffee and cake or lunch . I often pop in and am welcomed even as a single person . Will return this week

What a fantastic coffee shop! The quality of the coffee served here is fantastic, hands down the best in the area. They were serving Monmouth Coffee when I visited which was a great surprise. The caramelised onion sausage roll was amazing, even better when it's been hand made. If you weren't hungry when you enter the shop you certainly will be when you leave. The staff were equally as good, friendly and hard working. I can't wait to return in the future.

We stopped here for a quick lunch the other day with the kids and we were so glad that we did. The food and service was excellent and the coffees were fantastic. We had chicken sandwiches, avocado on toast, millionaires shortbread and sausage rolls and it was all fab!! We'll be back...

Popped in for a coffee. They serve really nice coffee & a lovely selection of snacks both sweet & savory. Nice sandwiches & salads plus hearty soup.

This place is absoloutley delicious and have a large range of fresh foods avaikable ! Recommend there gorgeous sausage rolls

Love this place, food and cakes best I've ever tried, service excellent, friendly staff. Coffee is wonderful with beans from Monmouth, excellent quality. First stop when I come to Tenterden, always busy for a reason! The deli section is also great especially the cheeses.

The Nutmeg servers the best coffee in Tenterden bar none. The friendly, knowledgeable staff really understand and know how to make proper coffee, whether that's a flat white, cappuccino. mochaccino with the Monmouth blends. Accept no other, this is the real deal and worth waiting to get a seat or returning to after shopping if it full.

The only place I visit to eat when I go to Tenterden. Constant good quality food, always fresh. Good coffee and friendly staff. Great sandwich combinations - keep up the good work guys and thank you for always making it a pleasant experience

A small independent coffee house, always seems busy, but always worth it . Excellent Mocha and superb homemade cakes and savouries.

There is a very large choice of places for lunch or a snack in Tenterden and this was the third we encountered after parking in Waitrose's car park. We thoroughly enjoyed our warm quiche and sausage roll followed by delicious cakes. And the coffee was excellent! It is not huge inside but they encourage guests to be sociable and share a table. Our satisfying lunch set us up well for a trawl through the superior charity shops of Tenterden. Recommended!

Consistently great coffee every time and the soya mocha WOW.... Great little coffee shop with excellent deli items. A mix of Locally made and pure taste indulgence. Carefully selected cheeses and meats chosen for quality and flavour the owner clearly knows his stuff.

Visited The Nutmeg twice in the last few months. First time this summer I had a mocha that I claimed was the 'best mocha I had ever tasted" my only disappointment was that I'd ordered a regular not a large! Went back today and was a little worried it wouldn't live up to my memory of it - thankfully had nothing to worry about as it was just as delicious as I'd remembered. My mum said her hot chocolate was lovely as well. Exceptional quality, good reasonable prices. Cafe itself is very cosy inside there's not a lot of space but I think it adds to the charm of the place. Looking forward to our next visit.

We have visited this little cafe twice recently and will definitely be going again. There is a selection of sandwiches made to order, three different types of homemade sausage rolls etc. There is also a wide selection of cheeses to try. We ordered sandwiches on brown bread and delicious coffee, together with a large sausage roll to share Our sandwiches were cheese and homemade apple chutney and Italian ham with sunblushed tomatoes and rocket. All was very tasty. The staff are charming and service was very good. Do seek it out.

The best flat white, using Monmouth coffee and always excellent. Staff always friendly and great selection of treats and deli bits

This is right in the centre of Tenterden.It is small with a little room inside and just a few tables outside.Excellent coffee is served and very tasty snacks. Take-aways are popular.A good choice if you can find a table.

Great coffee and cakes for us but on a Friday afternoon I was surprised when two separate customers were unable to get sandwiches due to them having run out of bread - with Waitrose 20 yards away and even a farmer's market stall 50 yards away!

This is a very small café which is a cut above your average sandwich shop. The choices of filling were all unusual, tasty and served with care. I asked for the salad option and was offered dressings to accompany it. There's more seating outside in a pedestrian walkway off the main street. Worth a try.

We enjoyed two visits to Nutmeg as the coffee and the teas are good. Pleasant atmosphere, and popular to judge by numbers of people there whenever you pass the place.

This is right in the heart of town and don't set your heart on trying it out as it will probably be full. But if you want the absolute best choice in freshly prepared sandwiches, savoury and sweet snacks and light lunches as well as superb coffee, then walk down Sayers lane and see if you can get in. The Nutmeg is tiny, intimate, friendly and well worth visiting but not for a large group. Once you've decided what you'll have, you realise you'll have to come back again as the choice is exquisite. Vegetarians will not be disappointed either .

Having been back in the UK on holiday again, after a week staying outside London I'd given up on my chances of getting a decent coffee.Unsurprising, coming to Tenterden for a week to visit family, I was resolved to having to drink the overheated drain water that the likes of Costa or Nero call coffee.How surprised was I to discover that The Nutmeg knew how to make a good coffee. I almost kissed the barista. Such a good coffee.They have so far managed to deliver consistent quality and great customer service for three days now. I can't wait for them to open in the morning so that I can get my fix.Thank you guys. Keep up the good work!

The staff at this cafe are really friendly and their service is great. We had a sandwich each, both made with high quality ingredients and fresh. Tasted great. Coffee was lovely. Only criticism would be that the carrot cake was a tad drier than we would have liked, but we enjoyed our visit.
