What User doesn't like about Malabar Coffee House:
what a bad aggressive attitude of the young male cash. I could not believe how he demanded the payment at the cashier and waited for one." the person behind me noticed his art and said to me charming isn't he? . such a...Shame as the coffee and snacks are generally good. View all feedback. What User likes about Malabar Coffee House:
eating is great, the cakes are amazing, but the staff needs some training in the service. Moreover, they have to wait on the counter to collect their order and it will be clogged with the other people they serve, they must bring them to. View all feedback.

Malabar Café has long been a beloved fixture in Sevenoaks, renowned for its excellent coffee and inviting atmosphere. While patrons praise its delightful food options and impressive milkshakes, concerns over service quality persist. Many have noted the use of disposable container systems, even for dine-in experiences, leading to dissatisfaction. The staff, while friendly, often appear untrained and disengaged, resulting in slow service and a lack of attention to detail. Despite these issues, loyal customers appreciate Malabar's cozy environment and diverse snack selection, making it a café with potential if improvements are made.

Nice little coffee shop. Like that there is some free parking outside the shop. The staff seemed friendly enough. The prices a little on the high side.
