Stumbled on this little haven just a few metres from the airBnB after taking a wrong turn. How lucky we were, four adults, one baby and two small dog/wolves squeezed into the compact cafe with a warm welcome and ordered from the menu. The choices weren't extensive but well thought out with enough options to cover fussy diners and dietary needs. The drinks arrived hot in sizeable cups in moments and the food being made fresh to order took enough time to drink in the calm of the space and enjoy some friendly banter with the staff. Lots of locals popping in for takeaways and no rush have you leave.
Good portions, fresh food, decent pricing, left the cafe chilled and ready for the day exploring Whitstable. Have bookmarked location and will return.
The cafe staff were incredibly hospitable, friendly, welcoming and generous with their time and their portions. The coffee was remarkably good as was the smoothie they made fresh. The atmosphere was welcoming and friendly and it was clear that they have regular customers and are animal-friendly also. The only critique would be if they offered more vegan choices especially with at least one cake (however there may not be many vegans locally or much scope for such options.)
My husband and I took a daytrip to Whitstable during a week in London. We happened to find Thirst Love Café just a short walk from the train and decided stop in while we oriented ourselves to the town. The cafe was immediately inviting and cozy. We sat inside and had a flat white coffee, an Americano, and a slice of Victoria sponge. Everything was quite literally perfect! My husband said it was the best he'd ever had. I didn't get pictures of our food, but have added a photo of the interior of this delightful little cafe. The owner (whose name I regrettably cannot remember) was so friendly and told us where to find shopping and how to get to the beach. Between her gracious hospitality and incredible coffees and cakes, Thirst Love Café is a must if you're in the area!
