Tony Lorenzo in Medway

I loved the building and their window display of produce...the main reason why we went in, as there are so many coffee shops to choose from. Unfortunately, the look was much nicer than the taste. My food (my husband's as well) was extremely bland, and over priced which was such a shame. We wouldn't return as we've luckily found a few gems along the High street that have really impressed. #EDIT...after reading the passive aggressive response from the establishment under this personally honest review, we would like to change the rating of service from 4 down to 1. This is such a shame and I can now see that there have been similar responses from the cafè to other customers that have expressed any criticism. Feedback helps you to grow...you cannot argue with a person's opinion as it is subjective and that is precisely how leaving a review should work...it can't always be sunshine and praise. We wish you luck though and god bless.

Great food and friendly staff, highly recommend.

Thank you for always suppling me with delicious hot drinks and preventing me from getting hungry whilst listening to my rants. You are a fabulous bunch of people Thank you Chris James Charlie Sarah Naomi Andy Amber Imogen Kevin Ivana and Nicola you beautiful people ❤️

We have used this cafe over the years when it was called by another name. I think now it has changed hands. They had more food on the board that was unavailable than there was available. My wife ordered a Thai chicken pannini. When it arrived the filling was a vibrant green in colour and looked like it was full of food colouring. It did not taste anything like Thai chicken. Nevertheless she ate it and immediately regretted it. It was bland and left her Tonge green. Will not eat there again which is a shame as it was once very good but is now below average. Spend you hard earned elsewhere. In reply to you response I am a little confused. You say the cafe has not changed hands. But on another site you state that it changed ownership in 2021 when the name changed. Secondly you state that we were there before your fillings were ready. We got to your establishment at about 11.30 to midday ish. So you were not ready for a lunchtime service. Very poor really. Spend more time in getting what you do right than replying to feedback you don't like.

This is a fantastic little place ,staff are always polite & helpful, I use it every day for coffee & lunch food is spot on ,😍

Great food x staff were friendly and helpful x portions good x we bought cakes to take home for tea which were delicious x highly recommend x will definitely go back x

Lovely! Always plenty of choice, whether your sitting in or grabbing to eat on the go. My kids love the cakes and sandwich selection is excellent. Staff are always friendly and helpful

We are always looked after so well at Lennys and loving the new range… had the chicken katsu sandwich today which was lovely. All the team are really lovely and always very friendly but our Chris, Ivana and the chap with the pony tail are wonderful!

Great Sunday breakfast the three of us enjoyed it very much. Service was good, polite and unintrusive. We all had the big breakfast with different drinks. If you want a relaxed well cooked Sunday breakfast I can recommend you come here. I will return.

This place is amazing! Beautifully decorated, the staff are really friendly and professional and the food is absolutely delicious and considering it's in Rochester high street, the price is fantastic. Would highly recommend.

First visit to Tony Lorenzo’s was 2002. Infrequent but regular visits every year since but not for for the past few years. Terribly disappointing. Can’t understand the - double the quantity for 1/2 the quality - mentality. Food and service were ridiculously awful. Sadly, never again.

Amazing service, especially Amber who serves with a smile every time. My regular on the way to work

Ordered takeaway online for collection, instead of dining in on this occasion. Easy process on the website, food well prepared as usual. Well wrapped/bagged so easy to carry home. All the food was tasty. Friendly Staff. Kept informed of order progress and collection time.

A great selection of luxury pastries and cake and really happy helpful staff

The best fruit tart we've ever had. The Cornish pasties were also very tasty, with generous fillings.

Sadly while enjoying a piece of carrot cake (beautifully moist) found a hair cooked inside. Had to throw away obviously. Service was fabulous, cake choice amazing. Can’t get the image of the hair out of my head

Stunning breakfast, really tasty good sized portions. Very reasonable priced. 5 breakfasts 5 drinks £55. Very helpful staff. Clean and tidy surroundings . Extra seating upstairs

We visited Rochester today for their Christmas market and spotted Lenny's on the high street. We saw people queuing outside and couldn't resist taking a look inside. We brought a chicken and chorizo pasty, cheesecake, scotch egg and Belgian Bun. Everything we brought was delicious! I'd drive to Rochester just to visit Lenny's. We couldn't resist nipping back in for a delicious hot chocolate!

Ordered two regular Americano coffees and milk. Both cups (small cups) arrived only half full with a jug of cold milk to add. Had to ask for some extra hot water to be added but feel the cup should have been fuller to start with for the price asked. The pasties we ordered were obviously heated in the microwave causing the pastry to be not very appetising. Unfortunately we will not be returning.

I worked in Rochester for 2 days, Ivana is one of the friendliest lady's I have ever met and was was ever so helpful, I went back the 2nd day because of how good the baguette and cheese cake was!

I stopped here with family to enjoy the Rochester high street, and it was a really great experience. The staff were so kind and friendly, and made us feel catered to and welcome. The food is really good value for money as well and the upstairs section has good views and a nice atmosphere. Lenny’s is a good cafe for families and those with kids as well. I would definitely recommend this cafe for those in need of an affordable, quick lunch or coffee break without the huge wait times of other cafes up the high street.

They were brilliant! With timing and the order!! Delicious!

The staff was helpful, if you would like somewhere to have a sandwich or fresh pastry don't pass this place .

Delicious cakes and huge choice of ice cream. There is a second floor with toilets so don’t be put off by the queue in the shop itself. Reasonable prices.

While visiting from outside the UK, I wanted to catch up with a friend. The restaurant had a diverse menu with plenty of options, and the prices were quite reasonable, making it a great choice for a casual meetup. Though I needed wi-fi, to put a call through to my guest, I found it a bit challenging to connect and I couldn’t get sufficient help from the staff.

Unfortunately missed half of the order on both of the meals. First time order but I don’t think I’ll purchase from here again.

Fantastic food, great staff and always friendly and welcoming! Best in rochester 👏

The staff here were phenomenal. The service was impeccable. The food was exquisite. We were only going to buy a cake but we were welcomed so warmly with our little girl that we decided to stop and eat and we are so glad we did. It was so clean and every member of staff greeted us when they passed us. Our food was cooked exactly how we asked for it. The choice of sandwiches and cakes on offer was really impressive. We will definitely be back!

amazing help us with the babys push thing lifted it for us well done amazing food this is 100000/100000 really enjoyed!!

My husband and I normally come in for a coffee and cake every Friday morning, really reasonably priced and best coffee oh the high street. We came in yesterday for lunch and had a baguette each, both wete absolutely delicious! I think we were served by someone called Chris who was really friendly and gave great service. All the staff are always very chatty and lovely, love Lennys!

Pros - Lots of food, can choose own sandwiches before, nice touches such as bringing out a gypsy tart. Cons - I choose ‘Happy Birthday’ Afternoon Tea, as I came for my birthday but there was nothing decorated to indicate anything about birthday - so did not understand why you bother having that as an option, the picture online was misleading. Despite choosing 4 sandwich fillings online they added a random 5th of cheese but did not inform me beforehand. And even though it was a Tuesday afternoon we thought OK it will be quiet but there were no other customers there sadly so the atmosphere was boring. :( Overall it was OK , lots of food at least. But because of the cons we would not come back sorry.

Love the build your own breakfast very nice

I have been coming here for over 20 years, when it was previously Tony Lorenzo's and my rating is based off of today's visit only. We got a take away and my husband had a sausage baguette that contained 2 different types of sausage, now call us fussy but it's not what you would expect, to me it's like oh we just have these so that will do. It's just off putting. Updated. Firstly I know how long it's been since it changed hands, and based on your passive aggressive response will probably mean I'll never visit again.

I don't think there's anything they sell that isn't great, god the pork and apple pasty is brilliant

Always my go-to place to eat/drink in Rochester. Lots of menu choices and the staff are absolutely fantastic and so friendly and welcoming.

Good food at a decent price and lovely staff. Have been here a few times now and has been lovely each time! Would recommend.

Great spot for a bite to eat with a great selection and great prices. Staff are bubbly, friendly and the general atmosphere is inviting. Well worth a stop if your in the area.

Very cheap and food was nice enough, so I can’t really complain. Only one of the vegan options was actually available for some reason. Presentation of food was a bit weird.

Really great place, but the prices have gone up :(

Good Afternoon I ordered and paid for - but no Bacon Chicken Mayonnaise Baguette, Wrap or Sandwich, Sandwich 5.95 + Add Bacon 1.50 Kind Regards David

Got to say an enormous thank you to Lenny's staff for the GIANT Gypsy Tart they made at short notice for me to take from Rochester to Edinburgh. My work colleagues said they wanted me to bring them back something from my recent visit to Kent. Any chance that Lenny's might think about opening a store in Edinburgh?

Visited a while back (when it was called tony lorenzo). Used to be our favourite place to have lunch. I love the eggs benedict. Think last time i visited was around 2019 before covid. Lovely place, need to visit again sometime

Lovely tasty food, I ate in the other day and everything felt a bit unloved. Menus a bit tatty, every surface seemed sticky, no soap in the loos, all the decor seemed a bit old and dusty. Can't take away from the food being really nice though, I'll just maybe takeaway in future.

We were on a time limit and mentioned this on entry, we were reassured by the counter staff. The selections looked amazing. Went upstairs and got a table, it’s a nice, clean and pleasant environment. We were served promptly. The staff were friendly and attentive. The sandwiches we all chose were the best sandwiches we’ve ever eaten! Can recommend the beef, Stilton snd mayo.

The vegan Bavarian pastry was really delicious, definitely returning just for that alone and maybe try the vegan lemon slice. I believe there was another one but I can't recall.

Visited today late afternoon and will certainly return. The Samosa tasted particularly delicious but also enjoyed a pasty & Panini which were great plus drinks. Grabbed a Belgium bun & a slice of chocolate to go as we left and they too were great. Attentive service including recommendations as there were so many cakes we struggled to choose.

Now to taste. Is the Rochester Custard Tart the same as a South African Milk Tart? Hmmm? But then I've never tried a Gypsy Tart before and who can resist Lemon Meringue Pie. Sunday afternoon tea with the family is going to be oh so heavenly. Thanks Lenny's for an irresistible front window display.

Thoroughly enjoyed our drinks and panninis/baguettes. Lively and welcoming atmosphere. Would revisit with family and friends.

Great food ,lovely friendly staff. Will visit again and highly recommend to anyone visting Rochester R Syed

Just popped in for some lunch. They offered to cook us anything we wanted from the breakfast menu despite it being aftef 13.00. In the end we opted for ploughmans lunches. What can i say.... wonderful fresh salads, lovely cheese and gammon and accompaniments. Together with friendly and attentive staff. We have never been disappointed in all our visits. Highly recommended

I have been coming to Rochester for many years. I loved going to Tony's, but now it's under a different name,so I gave it a try. Great friendly staff. Lovely welcome and a very attentive team.Ordered a pie but actually received a pasty, which was a little disappointing. Tasty chips. Delicious 😋 desert. I will definitely go again.

Always keep clean by staff who are friendly and helpful.Lovely place to sit and relax with a light lunch and drink.

Bought two gypsy tarts from here today. Got them home and they were awful. The filling is still raw, yet somehow managed to tast like burnt sugar. See the photos that show its still raw, stuck to the bag they came in. Disappointing.

Very busy restaurant but managed to eventually find a table. The menu had a great choice of hot meals, sandwiches, cakes and pastries. With a variety of drink options. You have to find a table make your choice and then pay for your food at the rear of the restaurant, we were told there was a wait of about 15 minutes which wasn’t a problem for us.

Friendly, helpful, great service & the best food in Rochester!

Loved it! So many incredible foods on offer for such wonderful prices!

I visited here with my son today the service was excellent the food was delicious well presented and a great coffee

Thank you very much to the staff in Lenny’s of Rochester for going above and beyond, and so kind. I visited with an elderly client this afternoon. They were very patient with us when choosing the order. When we wanted to go upstairs to eat, the gentleman, Cameron, that served us, assisted my client up the stairs as my hands were full with our food. Later, when I said to my client that I was going to get her a napkin, a lovely lady/employee (unfortunately did not get her name) brought one over without me asking. Everyone there was patient, kind and welcoming. And the food was lovely too, we both enjoyed!

Sunday Breakfast with my little brother. Most of the cafes were closed in Rochester when we walked the high street. Lennys was open and I had brought some great pasties and samosas the day before. It’s always a good sign when tables are pre booked for breakfast and regulars are greeted by name. We both had the full English which was well cooked and tasty. The tea served in a pot was good and gave two cups. Service was polite, discreet and excellent. The highest accolade I can award is “ I would eat here again”

Everything about this place is great. The staff are amazing. The food is great and it's just a lovely place to be

Absolutely love Lenny's and have been here countless times for lunch, breakfast and cake. Decided to try their wonderful afternoon tea for a Mother's Day treat and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious and there was so much of it! We took the leftovers home which was another tasty treat to enjoy in the evening too. The cakes were amazing and we loved being able to choose the sandwich fillings we wanted from their huge selection. Service was great as always. Would highly recommend. Can't wait to go back soon for another afternoon tea treat! Thank you Lenny's!

Went for afternoon tea and had a lovely selection of food. You get to choose your sandwich fillings you would like from their huge range they do and comes with sausage rolls, lots of cakes and scones with jam and cream. We couldn’t eat it all so they supplied boxes for us to take it home in.

Excellent food and service every time, the staff are extremely nice especially Charlie. Chocolate and pistachio slice is the best. The baguettes, pasty and fries are delicious.

The best place in Rochester for coffee/milkshakes and a catch up. Lovely food too, including a wide range of different cakes, and with quick, friendly service, what more could you want?

delicious biscoff brownie. staff was very polite and attentive. good price for a good portion.

Wonderful bakery, pasties are divine and would recommend the Chicken spring rolls and Chicken samosa. Prices are reasonable and price for the cakes is excellent. Staff are polite and friendly.

this is probably my favorite place in medway to eat - both dining in and grabbing something on the go. food is always delicious and staff are always lovely - highly recommend

Thank you for your friendly hospitality and tasty brunch. Allowing us to park our three bikes inside was such a bonus! Tina

Friendly staff and nice food. Good selection of cakes. Cafe is in a great location when visiting the beautiful historic town of Rochester.

Went 3 times had cold fry up 3 times

Lovely cafe (bakery) but the downside is that the cheesecake isn't that great in my opinion, But other than it's a lovely place to have a tea or coffee or a quick bite to eat

Great place for a tea, coffee or hot chocolate with a lovely selection of cakes, toasties, sandwiches, breakfast served until 12.00 Highly recommend coming here for a break from the shops and something to eat and drink

Really friendly, efficient staff and good food at a reasonable price. Highly recommended.

Don’t bother. Service is terrible. Can’t comment on food as, by the time it arrived, we had to leave and had obtained a refund.

What a lovely place this is. Service here is always with a smile. The food is always lovely and the decor is very pleasant.

A little disappointing to be honest. Perhaps something to do with the new management, perhaps not. My cappuccino was lukewarm at best but the panini was ok. Did receive some friendly service but it's been a long time since I've had a disappointing coffee in the morning In response - I last visited approx 1 yr ago & had a cappuccino & pasty/pie to go which was good - I apologize for making assumptions - In hindsight, I should've requested a replacement coffee - I have readjusted my review to average the experience of both my visits

Delicious cakes and savories, large choice. Takeaway or eat in.

Great sandwiches, pastries and drinks with friendly staff and nice environment!

Absolutely love this place, great place to eat for.breakfast/lunch, absolutely delicious food, amazing staff, always makin sure everything is OK, very friendly & talkative, I'm that much of a regular, I've become like family, lol, it's also a bakery, so lots of choices, you won't be disappointed, 🤗😃

A friend took me here the other day for breakfast. I’m the type of person to stick with what I know so I’m glad I decided to go with his place instead of mine. We have breakfast and it was amazing! I had eggs Benedict with bacon, the bacon was just to my liking - crispy instead of rubbery, they accommodated my request for brown bread instead of a muffin and it was absolutely delicious! My friend had a full English and the plate was absolutely huge! Will deffo be coming here again, I’m so glad he took me here. Thank you!

Had tea and fried egg sandwitch with brown bread for two people costing £14 & bought pasties and cakes Firstly brought one white and one brown not bakers bread just shop bought sliced bread ...steak pasties were rock hard filled with potatoes no seasoning tasteless and even the four different cakes and cookie we bought were also lacking any flavour not sure how this is possible with a cake but we couldn't eat any of them. The owner needs to go and taste the food they are selling at extremely high prices and sort this place out ..you have to keep the locals happy to keep in business not just the torists

Visited Tony Lorenzo's yesterday with my mother and wife Found the place friendly and welcoming Had a big breakfast and was very nice washed down with a latte Not sure if the brown bread I had as toast was baked in store but was lovely Was served up by a young lady called Imogen She was very helpful All in all I couldn't fault the please Even had a cheeky cake(belvedian apple slice) to take home from the bakery downstairs

Looks delicious, but pricy for what you are buying.

I've been coming here for over 25 years and look forward to doing so for many years to come. Always a friendly atmosphere here and staff always find time to pass the time of day. Food is freshly cooked to order and there is a HUGE choice of fillings for sandwiches/rolls/baguettes/salads to choose from that give other well known sandwich shops a run for their money. Barista made coffee is always spot on and available with oat milk if dairy isn't your thing. (I love their oat milk latte 😍) The stunning choice of cakes and pastries are AMAZING, so a friendly word if you're watching your waistband 😉 There's 2 floors of seating with an area in the second floor furnished with 'comfy chairs and coffee tables' for those not held up by constraints of a lunch hour and perfect for a coffee and cake break. The rest of the seating is plenty and made up with tables and chairs. In short, Tony Lorenzo's takes some beating and I would highly recommend stopping by and treating yourself to a little patisserie indulgence once in a while. 👌

Really love going here, it's always a lovely treat for lunch time. Staff are friendly and they have very competitive prices. Try the cannoli!

Lovely place for a snack, coffee or breakfast good food extensive menu especially the buns and cakes

Brilliant place to have lunch and a treat ! Atmosphere is very welcoming, and you are put at ease straight away. Staff are very efficient and certainly know their products, the attention and service given from Lidia was second to none, a true asset to Tony Lorenzo's.

I went on Mother’s Day and had a lovey experience on Sunday. I was served by Lidia, she was polite and interactive. The coffee was great to. So thank you and keep it up.

Great choice of food and drink, quality is always amazing. A family favourite.

Lovely eggs florentine, served quickly. Freindly staff

I would highly recommend Tony Lorenzo's sandwiches and cakes. Always a pleasure to see Ivana, she is always polite and helpful. Thank you :-)

Lovely little place, perfect breakfast and awesome pastries and cakes!

If you want to feel special eat here . Staff are incredibly welcoming and helpful, special mention to Lidia .There is a huge selection of things to eat and drink , you will be pleased that you chose to eat there .

Great venue in Rochester - fantastic service as always. Particularly pleased with Ryan and Trudie - great additions to the team and always make myself and my family feel very welcome.

Had a lovely tea cake and cuppa yday. Staff were friendly and food came quick. Naomi, the owner is great and super helpful. Brought lemon cake and a cookie for later that day, 😋 was lovely to have at home with a cuppa. I will be back.

Excellent cappuccino and cake today as always. Been coming here years and the same excellent standard has been maintained with change of ownership. Very friendly staff and efficient service makes for a good and relaxed atmosphere 👍😊

Worst meal I’ve had in a long time, my food was extremely average, could’ve made the same thing at home. After taking a bite from the ‘bbq sausage’ baguette I was extremely unsatisfied, it was literally a sausage cut up with bbq sauce poured over it, not ‘sausage marinated in bbq sauce’ so I thought let me take a sip of the chocolate milkshake at least that’ll be nice; I was wrong, worst tasting chocolate milkshake I’ve ever had, I don’t understand how can you mess up a chocolate milkshake? Tasted like it was used with gone off lumpy milk and hot chocolate powder. I’m not the one to ever leave bad reviews but I will never return to this place, such a let down as I’ve heard good things about it.

Rude staff overpriced poor quality food
