Marie's Tea Room

A quaint little tea room with a great selection of teas, coffee, savories and sweets, and reasonable prices just next to the Victorian market and down the hill toward the River Thames from Gravesend's main shopping street.

Old, mismatched furniture and similarly unique cups, saucers, plates and teapots match the cute Victorian corner building that house them. The prices are right with a Cream Tea (scone, clotted cream, jam and tea of your choice) just £4.20 ($5.95) and a large caffe latte just £2.50 ($3.50).

The Daily Special the day we were in was Truffle Risotto (£5.95/$8.40), quite a bargain by British standards, but with dinner just a couple hours away, I did not sample it and, therefore, cannot comment on the taste or quality. The tea and coffee, however, were plentiful and tasty and the scones (plain, cheese, or fruit) large, fresh and scrumptious.

The staff are very friendly, efficient, inviting and professional. A sign of quality and proper sanitation, the toilet (bathroom - one unisex) is spic and span and properly stocked with TP, hand soap, hot water, and plenty of paper hand towels. I was told they just finished renovating the kitchen, having installed 100% stainless steel counters and equipment.

A delightful little place, appropriately enough there was a large group of sweet, older ladies having High Tea (finger sandwiches, cakes, pastries, scones, clotted cream, jams, and tea) when we were there. If in Gravesend and in need of a drink, snack, or meal, Marie's is a good bet and a GREAT TravelValue!

Came here for an early mother's day treat on Saturday 26th. Absolutely loved the afternoon tea, Scones were still warm and sandwiches tasted nice and fresh. This is my 3rd time coming here since I've lived in Gravesend and now it's my favourite place. Lovely staff. Thank you!

Only thing that was negative was when we sat down there was alot of Ash on the table (outside) but other than that it was a lovely afternoon!

I am a life-long coffee drinker. I know I haven't had hot tea for at least 40 years. Living in Florida, I only drink iced tea. But,.. on a chilly day in April my wife wanted to stop in for tea. I was truly surprised at how much I enjoyed the tea (Earl Grey) and the fruit scones. It was a pleasant atmosphere with friendly waitstaff. While I haven't been able to match the quality and flavor of Marie's tea - I'm now drinking hot tea several times a week. So, I guess you could say my visit was a game changer!

good drinks, the server ‘gabby’ was amazing and attended to every need.

had a lovely little lunch here today. very accommodating staff and fulfilled every request. food was brilliant and very reasonably priced. it was a perfect spot for lunch. will be going again :)

Amazing little coffee shop! The staff are friendly, the food is amazing and it's all excellent value for money. Meat-eaters, vegetarians and vegans are all well catered for with loads of food and drink choice for everyone.
Don't forget to try their legendary scones!

I visited Maries tea room with a friend for the Christmas themed afternoon tea. A fair price and excellent food. The sandwiches were all fresh and the homemade scones were excellent! The turkey sandwich, pigs in blankets and Christmas cake slices as part of the sweet options were a nice twist on a traditional afternoon tea. A nice venue in Gravesend with a very pleasant ambience. Will definitely look to return in the future to try some of the other menu items.

My daughter had her 6th birthday party at Marie’s Tea room and had the best time . Graham and the team were fantastic and he was absolutely brilliant with all the children. The food, party games and arts and crafts were great and everyone said what a lovely time their children had. Would highly recommend .
