Hithe — Restaurant in England

Fantastic place. Amazing coffee. Great food and service - looking forward to returning.

I was staying in the area and visited a couple of times with family. The coffee is VERY good.

The menu is perfect for breakfast/lunch - they also have daily specials. Something for everyone.

Really nice atmosphere, good music and friendly helpful service.

Vegan options available (Grilled mushrooms - a variety of mushrooms, which were cooked to perfection and almost tasted 'meaty!' on fresh flatbread and houmous, was so tasty and very filling).

Variety of hot and cold drinks. Tea is loose leaf. Plant-based milks available too.

A wonderful independent place and real asset to Amble.

I recently visited Cafe Hithe with three friends, all of whom had previously enjoyed the experience, but we were all severely disappointed this time. We waited over an hour for our food without so much as an apology from the staff. When my meal finally arrived, it was missing a hash brown, and instead of the option to swap it out, I was served chips that I didn’t request.

To top it off, our coffees came without any sugar, which felt like a basic oversight. When the food did arrive, it was near average at best, failing to meet the expectations set by our earlier visits. Overall, it was a frustrating experience, and I can’t see us returning...

The food here is good, the downside is the place has a lost identity on what it is. The narrative on the website is that this is a brunch place, but our experience was nothing related to that at all. We came in on a Sunday just after 11, which is prime time brunch time, only to be told that the kitchen was closed till noon….? We decided to return later, but still no brunch menu, just two Sunday dinner options. If you want brunch, better off going to 1911 coffee that is further...
