The Old Post Office Coffee Shop — Restaurant in Ashford

I took my mum here for afternoon tea as a treat. I had never been here before or heard of it, just found it after a bit of Googling of nearby places that offered this. Long story short, I narrowed down my choices and decided to give this place a shot based on locality and good reviews. I personally never leave reviews unless super impressed and, it's safe to say that, both my mum and I, loved every single item of food from our platters! We couldn't fault anything; the quality of food was top notch and locally sourced, beautifully presented and/or homemade. I would highly recommend the salmon and cream cheese sandwiches (still dreaming about them now!) and the selection of cakes was a pleasant surprise as I was only expecting the scones.

I cannot believe how this business is viable and it doesn’t deserve to...

We happened to stumble on this coffee shop whilst away from home in Ashford purely because it was the only coffee shop open later than 3.30/4pm but we were really impressed. The atmosphere, decor, music is very relaxing and the tea and coffee was great. Nice to see well behaved dogs relaxing in there too. Food was really nice, stops serving at 4pm which I think is nice that the cafe doesn't fully close, you could still have tea and cake late afternoon if you wanted to. Interesting vegetarian/vegan options outside the norm and the cake selection was really good with vegan/gf options.
