Makcari's Coffee Lounge Ice Cream Parlour

We discovered Makcaris when we visited Herne Bay as tourists. The menu was comprehensive and covered the three of us well. I did find some of the food a little expensive £15 for fish and chips) but appreciate costs have gone up and it is a tourist destination. The staff were friendly and welcoming and one day we’d like to return to try out the amazing looking ice cream sundaes!

Spacious and airy cafe with friendly, efficient staff. The menu is deceptively simple but the sandwiches and wraps were fresh, tasty and generously filled.

Sadly this establishment has gone rapidly downhill. The staff that served me were lovely, but it's a shame the food wasn't. Mushrooms and eggs dry, along with toast the same. Such a shame as I have been coming here for years, from myself as a child to 50 odd years on bringing my grandchildren. Everything needs smartening up. The toilets are dirty and bad smelling, surely with all the staff they could get a twice daily good clean. Sadly This was my last visit, shame as the place holds great memories.

Hot day, just fancied a cold drink, fridge in the shop, lyptons flavoured tea, small bottle, not even cold, £3.25?, Come on, £1.75 at best, and wonder why people stay away from these places

This review is for the Macaris that has the fish and chip shop attached. there is another Macaris coffe shop up the road) This is no longer run by the Italian family that had it for years. The quality is no longer the same. A few weeks back for £15 I ordered skate and chip. No mushy peas etc. I ended up with half a wing of skate. !!!!!!! I visited again today, just for chips......cost £7 to take away for 2 small portions. Needless to say, I said NO THANKS.
