Took the family here for brunch today with a table already reserved by making contact the day before.
Cafe following all Covid-19 guidelines with Sanitizer on door entrance and floor markings visible . Very attentive staff - milkshakes amazing By the waitress Martina and coffees good value for money . Food arrived promptly and all tasted fab. Highly recommend for breakfast, lunch or just cake 👍

Came here for Mothers Day for afternoon tea and it was fantastic! Lovely casual, relaxed atmosphere as usual but the extra special touches they added for Mothers Day were lovely! Our table was set beautifully with a floral tablecloth and the afternoon tea was almost too pretty to eat! A lot of care, attention and effort had gone into preparing it and that was really evident. All of the food was delicious and we left feeling very full! Scones in particular were amazing. Staff were so friendly and attentive as usual. Love this cafe and recommend it to everybody - it's a family favourite. Thanks for making it a special visit!

Beautiful fresh food and delicious coffee - we visited while passing through Tenterden on the way home with a very grumpy toddler! Service was really fast, warm and welcoming. The kind of place that makes you want to tell everyone about it! Two huge coffees in delightful cups were completely delicious. Everything absolutely homemade and fresh. My husband loved his Parsnip and Apple soup, but it was so good I had to share it! Our toddler soon cheered up with a simple cheese sandwich that had perfectly soft, top quality white bread and a good cheddar. But my avocado and pesto bagel was stunning - a perfectly ripe avocado, fresh soft green leaves and a zingy pesto. PLUS you can help yourself to lovely filtered water from the counter. Wish we lived nearer, i’d be in here all the time!!

We waited 30 mins for 3 small cups of tepid coffee and three dry bacon sandwiches. We had to ask wait for sugar and then spoons as our coffee just got colder.
The bacon was too thick, undercooked with white fat round the edges. The bread was thick and very dry. The cost was £22. Needless to say we won’t be back. Really disappointed as it was my husband’s first treat after major surgery.

Hello Nicola, I'm so so sorry for your bad experience with us. There should definitely have been no charge for your food and drinks. Please let me know if you would like a refund.

Excellent food and coffees. Great atmosphere. We sat opposite the chef and his team, watching them work so hard. My family had spinach and mushroom soup, which was a too generous portion they couldn't quite manage. Also the vegan board and bacon and brie toasties. Cannot fault this place. My daughters had been before and our first time. Absolutely recommend this delightful bistro, in a stunning town.

Our local tennis group had our quarterly coffee and cakes get together in this wonderful location in the high street and although it's a place I frequent regularly with my wife, it was very satisfying that Kayleigh and Amy handled our mature group's little quirks very patiently and professionally. Obviously the drinks and cakes were wonderful and at the end there were a dozen very satisfied retirees. Some people can be quick to be critical when products or the service are not up to scratch so I think it's very important to highlight those places where both are consistently excellent

This is just off the main high street and although always looks busy we never tried it.
Today we finally decided to see if we could get a seat. Thankfully we could and were welcomed in to a beautifully laid out inside space. We loved that post covid the tables remain spaced out and there was plenty of fresh air.
We and our young dog were made to feel very welcome in this perfectly laid out eating place.
The menu is a nice length. There is plenty of voice but not over whelming. There is plenty of choice for meat eaters and vegans.
My step son had the meat sausage roll which he enjoyed and my partner and I had the most amazing ‘vegan board’. We are spoilt with Gousto plant based meals and today was one of the rare occasions a vegan meal out exceeded our expectations and was utterly original and delightful.
I’m going to try and attach a photo but it doesn’t do it justice as we had already started ploughing into it!
The vegan flap Jack was delicious and my step skne gave the ice cream 10/10.
The service was perfect from arrival to leaving - a perfect balance of attentiveness and welcoming yet leaving us to get on and enjoy our food!
I noted they do afternoon teas and also do a vegan option so will definitely be booking in for kne if those too.
Now we have found it we will be back.
Just one thing, if you want to tip take cash as it can’t be added to the card payment.

Nicely located pantry with nearby parking. The staff are professional, organised and welcoming. The decor is quirky/fun. I enjoyed a large decaf accompanied by the granola breakfast which was good value at under £7. Fresh fruit with yogurt combined with homemade, WARM granola! I thoroughly recommend.

As usual the food was excellent. We knew the service is always slow but waiting 35 minutes for a ploughman’s lunch was excessive. The café was about 75% full with two chefs, 3 waiting staff and one person washing up. The problem is clearly bad management. We’ll run establishments settle customers with a drink quickly to keep them there. This never happens here.

We have never been disappointed with the quality of the food or the service.
Since it was opened Amy's Pantry has been our favourite spot in Tenterden for breakfast, brunch or afternoon tea.
The menu is varied, the quality of the food is excellent, the presentation is fine dining calibre. The staff are exceptional, always welcoming, friendly and professional.
Amy's Pantry has set the standard that all other cafe/restaurants in the vicinity must aspire to.
Well done guys. Keep it up. See you again soon.

By far my favourite cafe/coffee shop in Tenterden! Have visited Amy's Pantry on multiple occasions and have never been disappointed. Staff are very friendly and hardworking and the decor is lovely. The cafe also sells crafted items from small local businesses and traders which is a lovely touch. The food is of excellent quality using local ingredients and the salted caramel brownies are to die for and a must! My most recent visit was for breakfast with family on Christmas Eve. The food was fantastic and it was one of the nicest breakfasts I have had in a very long time - the only thing missing was some quiet background music. I chose the Little Piggy special from the Christmas menu which was absolutely delicious - I really hope you offer this again next Christmas as I will most definitely be back and also recommending to friends and family :)

The two of us popped in for a late lunch and we had a goats cheese salad and a toasted sandwich and both were very tasty. The service was excellent and the staff very friendly. We felt very safe during these uncertain times and would thoroughly recommend a visit!

This is one where place in Tenterden where my wife can get Gluten Free scones, and delicious they are. I was about to have two non-Gluten Free scones but the helpful serving person said it was cheaper to have a cream tea. Who am I to argue? It was delicious. Can certainly recommend (and it's dog friendly)

We have visited Amy's Pantry numerous times and will continue to do so as our preferred weekend starting point.
The staff are delightful and attentive, the food and drinks are excellent in quality, quantity and presentation and are well priced, giving good value for money.
There remains a sensible focus on social distancing in terms of seating and moving around in the restaurant, which provides evident comfort across the age range of the clientele.
Well done Amy and everyone who works with you.

Had a family lunch in Amy's Pantry today. Simple menu but don't be fooled. The food is all freshly made on the premises and it shows. From the dehydrated tomato crisps to the artichoke hearts that are hidden in the salads, every mouthful is a treat.
My son is a fussy eater but he declared that the bacon, brie & chilli jam toastie was the best toastie he'd ever had! As well as wonderful lunch options, they have some beautiful home made cakes, and a great selection of smoothies, juices and milkshakes. Something for everyone. I'll be back for an Afternoon Tea, I think!
