The Lift Cafe

Been to this fantastic café twice now and both times were great service, incredible food and drinks in cosy surroundings. Proper excellent coffee - very good dirty chai (chai latte with shot of coffee). The cheese toasties are absolutely amazing, all of them are delicious and come with sweet pickled pears. The cafe is an old funicular station with comfy seating and you can also sit in the old carriages. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended, a real gem if you're in Folkstone.

Me and my Family love this place it's lovely for all types of food my son is anaphylactic to cows milk and they couldn't have catered to his needs more and the food is delicious 😋 we always go here before we go to the adventure playground. Picture is so you can see prices.

Thoroughly enjoyed our time here! Came along with a friend who is now a regular and I cannot wait to go back. Cake is delicious - especially the vegan pumpkin spiced slice made by Michelle who works there. Highly recommended 🙂

Nice quirky little cafe. Gluten-free bread option available for one of us. We had bacon and brie and egg and bacon toasties all washed down with a pot of tea. Very tasty. The staff were friendly and pleasant and allowed us to bring the dog inside. Outside toilet if you need it like the good 'ol days.
