“ The fact that the place is always full and there is a long queue tells you everything you need to know about the quality of drinks/food and service. Suitable for a quick take-away, a study session or a catch-up with friends, the Steep Street Coffee House is a staple in Folkestone and we have been coming here for years. Only a 5min walk away from the sea, 10mins from the bus station and surrounded by craft, clothing and music shops it is a perfect place for a cup of coffe and a bite to eat. ”
“ Oooooh what a wonderful cafe, amazing food (really yummy) and the staff are delightful. The place is clearly very popular. I had to wait a bit for a table but it didn’t bother me as the atmosphere was AMAZING. It was a pleasure just being there ”
“ Wow! What an incredible find. We had a fantastic iced coffee and then took home cake. The gluten free orange and almond cake was amazing. Highly recommend. Update review. Still amazing, this time we had a mint hot chocolate with coconut milk, fantastic flavour. Took home orange and almond cake as well as the gluten free peanut free bar which was also fantastic the flavour is sooooo good. So nice to have so many gluten free options. Thank you. Updated review again! This week we went back again and this time there was Halloween style cake (not gluten free) but not to worry the fruit and peanut gluten free vegan bars were still an option and they are still to die for and well worth having. Highly recommend. This is fast becoming our go to place on a Sunday afternoon. Updated review again again. Our favourite place. Highly recommend especially all the gluten free options. Thanks for having these. ”
“ What a fantastic cafe! The service was so friendly and welcoming. The inside and outside seating really charming and the coffee - a tiramisu latte with oat milk - was one of the tastiest I’ve had in a seriously long time. 10/10 - wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. ”
“ I wish I had this cafe near where I live. I would go there every morning, if not every week to get their amazing breakfast We were visiting Folkestone and on the very last day in the morning before we left the town, we decided to have breakfast there. I’m simply glad I did - it’s on the iconic old street and the view from the cafe is what I find so cinematic - I felt as if I was in a scene from a film or something. The place is busy but in the morning it wasn’t too hard to find the seats. We ordered granola, porridge, croissant and toasted banana bread with a pot of tea. It was massive that I felt full - and every meal was nicely prepared and I felt healthy eating them. My favourite was the toasted banana bread - the best banana bread I’ve ever had. I can’t forget to mention that all of the staff were very welcoming and lovely. They made my morning great. Thank you so much for providing great service! ”
“ Folkestone has evolved over the years and Steep Street occupies that spot as the “go to” place for coffee, cake and chilled vibes. Perfectly made proper coffee, the cakes are delicious (and I don’t even have a sweet tooth) and it’s created a family friendly, local vibe that’s always busy. Highly recommended. ”
“ A relaxing coffee place with lots of books to choose from and great for conversations. I tried the biscoff hot chocolate and it was one of the best I have tried! Highly recommend for anyone who loves hot chocolate. We also tried the chocolate cake. It was a bit too sweet for me. The service was great and the staff were friendly. Absolutely love this place. ”
“ A lovely dog friendly cafe. The cake was deliciously fresh and yummy. The staff were very friendly even though it was busy. Would definitely recommend a visit. ”
