Menu

A complete overview of all 44 meals and beverages can be found here on the menu of Smiths Coffee from Thanet.

Nestled in a quaint corner, this charming coffee shop offers standout brews and delightful pastries. However, a striking divide exists between the quality of food and the customer experience. While some rave about delectable menu items like the New Yorker on roasted sourdough and the avocado toast, others lament hard bagels and icy toppings. The atmosphere is marred by unwelcoming and abrasive staff, overshadowing the lovely service provided by a few. Despite mixed reviews, patrons appreciate the fantastic coffee, creating a compelling yet complex dining experience that leaves many contemplating a return visit.

Was Anonym at Smiths Coffee a mag?
The best paprika I have had in years. The New Yorker on roasted sourdough was a bit pricey, but it was definitely worth it. The pastrami was excellent, the pickles were perfect, and the American-style mustard was high quality. Definitely worth a visit. View all feedback.

What Anonym dislikes about Smiths Coffee:
A group of unfriendly women "greeted" my daughter and me with sour faces. It seemed like no one knew their role, leading to a chaotic and unpleasant interaction. At one point, the card machine was shoved in my face when all I wanted was an orange juice. The final straw was when my 4-year-old was treated rudely.

I visited a lovely café and had an iced latte and a cookie brownie. I sat outside and enjoyed the sunshine.

I've never known or experienced rudeness like it by the owner. She is literally a female Basil Fawlty. With the unfortunate downside of not being remotely funny. She creates a dreadful atmosphere and makes you feel as though you have been summoned to the head masters office. Avoid like the plague! A big shame as the other female staff members are delightful and the food and drink is nice.

Visited this cafe a few times while staying locally, recently. pleasant food and coffee. The biggest croissants you’ve seen. The wait staff were nice, however the manager/owner was hostile and unfriendly. She was doing the books at one of the tables and was clearly annoyed at our grandchildren chattering on one occasion and refused to let us take a table at the back of the cafe, insisting on squashing us all round a window table on another visit. There’s plenty of nice cafes in Broadstairs and I would suggest trying others instead!!
