CAFÉS

Margate's cafe scene is one of its quiet superpowers. On any given weekday morning you'll find artists, remote workers, parents post-school run, and people who just needed somewhere to sit - all coexisting in independently run spaces that each have their own distinct character. Some are strictly coffee-focused, some do food all day, some are the kind of place you arrive for a flat white and leave two hours later. We've listed the ones worth seeking out, from Old Town stalwarts to newer spots that have become regulars in their own right.
