Puddings Coffee Shop

What a lovely little cafe, very busy, nice staff. Shame it wasn't bigger I would have ate in, but very cramped. Got a slush puppy £2

Excellent breakfast and tea ( in a proper cup). They have gluten free options on cakes and lunchs , great friendly service will return.

Excellent coffee, friendly staff, and the eggs royal was also fairly good.

Never let down by staff or food and drink at puddings. A good book and a big cup of chai or a chat with staff puts the world to right. You have to try some of their homemade bakes or breakfasts.

Visit here on my day off most weeks. Throughout the year I have been enjoying a 99 cone most weeks but then more recently Poppy introduced me to the oreo sundae which was amazing and on my most recent visit Lindsay made me one too and said that it may not be as good as the first one. I totally disagree though I thought it was fantastic and really enjoyed.
Great business that Sarah has built here with amazing staff to.
Look forward to many a visit to come

Really good independent coffee shop in the heart of Maidstone. Excellent coffee good range of food and cakes for a snack, friendly helpfull staff, beats the big coffee chains for quality, service and value hands down. Well worth a visit when you're in Maidstone.

Popped in for tea and cake as they are dog friendly, which seems to be a rare thing in Maidstone. The cakes are gorgeous and the portion sizes are generous. They have a wide variety of hot and cold drinks available. Staff seemed generally helpful and pleasant. Previous bad customer service reviews appear to relate to staffing issues around 2 years ago presumably during the high stress pandemic phase and may have now been resolved, although this is a small business and it would have been good to see some responses from the manager.
For the interest of people with disabilities it is worth mentioning that the toilet is upstairs and the stairs are very steep. There is also not room enough in the cafe for a wheelchair user. This last comment was for info only and not a criticism of the cafe, they cannot change the size of building they are in. I would definitely visit again next time I am in Maidstone.

Our first visit impressed us and this will be our regular Maidstone cafe in future. We saw lots of things on the menu that we intend to try. Cake portion sizes are huge! There were lots of menu options for children.
