One of the many lovely things about Rochester is that it’s full of brilliant independent businesses, and this is one of them. I come here often with my grandchildren. Staff are always kind and friendly; coffee and cakes are great; and the bill significantly less...than you’d pay at that multinational chain down the road.More

Nice enough place with good coffee in great location. Visiting on a damp December day the atmosphere was a bit barren and not cosy at all. The seating situation is a mixture of office type chairs, or childrens school chairs, not large enough for most...behinds! Could do with a soft furnishings update.More

Would not return. Wanted a takeaway but Ignored by three members of staff and then given a dirty look. No greeting just a stare like I had done something wrong. Was going to order loads but left asap. Will go elsewhere next time.

This place has a great vibe with traditional furniture and twinkly lights. The service was fast and friendly. The coffee was great and sandwiches small but tasty and a fair price. Central location too!

Really like the coffee here. And the location. Staff are great. Ignore the touchy reviews. It's local business paying rates. Can't stand keyboard warriors that write "there" reviews that look for trouble where non exist. Get a life and try to run a business without...trashing someone because they called you out. Coffee is great here, staff make it well and there's a good selection of snacks too. "Treet" yourself.More

It was cold in the cafe so decided to shut window were we sat and was shouted at across the whole cafe, DONT TOUCH MY WINDOW. Very rude staff have no idea how to treet customers, if you have a problem you speak to the...person at there table not shout across the cafe. We are not tourists and go to the coffee shops in Rochester regular, but this cafe will be forever off our list.More

This great little cafe is situated directly opposite the cathedral and serves some very tasty food. We had paninis, and they came quickly and tasted delicious. Lots of lovely cakes etc on offer and the cold drinks were great too. Reasonably priced and great service...- would recommend a visitMore

In Rochester to visit the Gaia exhibition in the cathedral. Not been for years and lots of coffee shops and touristy shops. Excellent coffee and cakes. I had a cappuccino and a blueberry muffin. Interior design unusual, plenty of tables and friendly staff.

This wasn’t me - we didn’t eat here at all as the service was so poor we didn’t get asked what we wanted.
