Smiths Coffee - Thanet

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.

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. A server came over, snatched a napkin from our table, and made a disparaging remark about my daughter. It was simply rude and showed a complete lack of understanding of how to interact with customers, especially children. I will not be returning to this place. I might consider grabbing a coffee to go, but the service is the heart of any business, and today we saw a prime example of how it can go wrong. Disappointing.

We really enjoyed our lunch at this restaurant. We ordered a variety of sandwiches and bagels, including a gluten-free option. The salmon and cream cheese sandwiches were particularly delicious. We also tried the avocado with speck, smash avocado, and halloumi crushed sandwiches. The smoothies were also very good. The only downside was that everything was served at once, but other than that, we would definitely come back again.

Smiths has become my new favorite for breakfast/running, my man loves the roasted sandwiches and I love the avocado on toast with speck. and her coffee is the best!

Best paprika I had years. the new yorker on roasted sourdough was expensive £8) but it was worth it. excellent pastrami, correct pickles and good quality American style senf. worth a visit.
