No84 — Restaurant in Gravesham

Visited three times with in a month, first time I went was on a Sunday (all day breakfast) 10 o'clock although very busy the atmosphere and the place was immaculate, the staff was very friendly and I was pleased to see staff members from different cultures. I was given a nice clean table, I order the vegetarian breakfast and decaff cappachino, the vegetarian breakfast was a nice and hot, healthy portion and was very tasty, the cappuccino was a great size and I loved the no.84 design on my drink overall great experience in every aspect the waiting time was not at all long considering the rush. I was shocked to see another family order their food but then refuse it when the staff brought it out claiming they ordered something else when that wasn't the case, the staff however didn't react in a mean or rude way they remained professional to these rude customers. The second time I visited was for an Afternoon tea and even then the place was busy however the staff still made me feel well looked after. The afternoon tea was very filling the portion was more than enough, the sandwich fillings were so nice and pleasantly surprising as they had a spin on some classic favourites of mine. the desserts were really tasty and looked posh. Already booked another one with a group of friends. On my third visit I went in for lunch and I order the veggie lasagna, I was given a hefty portion with a posh salad containing multiple different mini sides my favourite was the happy carrot so nice. I also had their rose lemonade very refreshing and not common very happy to see them having exotic drinks. The cakes are also top tier, I believe that one of the staff members bakes them fresh, I had a slice of the coconut and raspberry cake and it was delectable and a great size.

Overall this place is so good and the standard is unlike anywhere else, they have a great variety of drinks and meals for vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters. I would recommend to all...

I’ve been here a few times, the food is quite nice, and in the absence of any other places like this in the area we order from here occasionally. Unfortunately, the lady serving, little lady with cropped blonde hair, is incredibly rude & abrupt. It’s so unnecessary, I don’t understand how or why she’s doing a job such as this when she so clearly finds it hard to be pleasant to people. It costs nothing to be polite. I think they really need to take a look at the front of house staff, this isn’t the first time that I’ve come away from here thinking how rude this lady is. I just won’t come again, it’s not cheap, and each time I end up feeling very resentful about having paid good money to be spoken to so abruptly....

This is a quirky, fun place to eat. There's often jazz playing (at an acceptable volume). Food is good and plentiful (make sure you have a good appetite if you order the full English). The owner, Adrian, has accumulated a collection of interesting old china on or in which food and drinks are served. Take-away service is available, and this is recommended if you have a meal that hasn't left enough room for a slice of one of the home-made cakes. The cafe also acts as a hub for community activities - various groups meet there "after hours", including, the last time I looked, a Spanish class and a book club. Talking of books, there are some lying around to browse while you wait...
