This morning I visited Zaras for a delicious coffee and breakfast. Bacon egg mushrooms fried slice beans. Beautifully presented (wish i took a photo!) Liz and Patsy made me very welcome. I will be back again. Very good value with great service. Thank you ladies xx

After eating here today, and ordering 2 of the 8 items breakfasts at £9 each, initially thinking it was quite expensive, we were very surprised to find the food was absolute top quality, cooked to perfection and by far the best breakfast in Thanet. This is quite a statement as we eat out daily and have tried most restaurants and Cafes in Thanet. Highly recommended and for the price, we feel was good value for money.

If your visiting birchington, This little gem of a café is a must visit! From the moment you step in until you leave, you are warmly welcomed and treated like family. The cafe is run by 3 lovely ladies who put there heart and soul into everything! We take our resident's from our care home regularly and they always accommodate our resident's dietary requirements - nothing is any trouble. Every time we visit the food is absolutely stunning! I'd advise to book in advance as this place fills up fast!

First time we visited was 4 years ago . This delightful café in the very heart of the town . The two ladies that run it cheerfully and smoothly . The taste of their quality ingredients is undeniably first class . Along with the cooking and service with a smile and chat. It seemed like the whole of Birchington passing by , had to wave at the ladies. The tasty sausages are so incredible I asked as to where they are sourced from ? Wales came the reply . Gosh that's along way I replied puzzled . No no its the butchers opposite ,Pork & Herb .So after our build your own breakfast into the Wale & Son butchers for more sausages . (they do salt beef ,the best I have tasted in years too ) Realy looking forward to returning ,thank you ladies .

I’ve been going here now for the Last few months. I always get a warm and happy greeting as soon as I walk though the door. The ladies couldn’t be more lovely and always happy to accommodate with my son who has allergies to milk and soya. They go above and beyond the normal café expectation and makes for a wonderful dining experience. The food is always delicious and hot which seems to be a rarity these days, combine that with the hospitality. I had no choice but give this a five star rating. Absolutely fantastic would highly recommend to anyone.

After overhearing a couple speaking about a hair they had found in there drink I was already a little sceptical however being human is one thing but serving black toast and then making you feel uncomfortable with the chef poking there head out the kitchen giving eyes frowning “saying what’s wrong” it was clear the toast was black and then slamming around the loaf of bread as if we asked to re cook the hole breakfast was not acceptable all this could be seen from where we ware sitting infront of the till.. I would NOT return and advise anyone with to legs to walk in the opposite direction.

My partner and I came here with her autistic ward after trying several places that were too busy and we are so glad that we found this hidden gem! The staff were extremely accommodating and friendly, and engaged happily with our ward in a respectful and interested manner. The food, now, the food was cooked to perfection, you can build your own breakfast plate by picking and choosing ingredients off of the menu. They had a wonderful selection of vegan/vegetarian and gluten free options. We were given some advice on places we can take a walk, and which beaches were best and allowed dogs. Overall: friendly staff, great food, great service and would love to come back. Highly recommend!! Thank you everyone at Zara's!!

Our first time here and we came as a group of 8, but within a few minutes Liz knew all our names by heart and that just set the tone for the service from then on... Friendly, chatty, welcoming. She even took the trouble to call me a day or two ahead to check how many veggies amongst us, so she could make sure she had a good choice of stuff in. All our options were piping hot and delicious! Great atmosphere, a real community cafe, and we are planning to come back to try the Sunday lunch and some of those amazing hot pudding choices!! Thanks Liz and Patsey, just keep doing what you're doing.

Thankyou to Zara's cafe, we went there today for a sunday roast. I had the chicken as did my daughter & it was lovely,very hot & plenty of it. My wife had the beef which was equally as good. The meat was cooked lovely as were the roast potatoes/vegetables. My daughter was then very happy again & as she had the chocolate sponge with ice cream for desert & her silence for 5 mins said it all as she finished every last drop of it.. Liz & Patsy who run the place were very welcoming & provided great service. We highly recommend you try this place..
