Bread And Butter Bakery

Love the decor and ambience of the cafe. The coffee was good and also the cream brûlée donut! We tried two dishes from the food menu crispy corn fritter and Eton mess, not quite like them, sorry. However, the cabinet foods look great and We will come back to try out. Thank you.

Bakery cabinet is very good and lots of yummy options. Kitchen food going out quickly but I’m not a fan of food decoration. Cafe on the other hand is a big let down. Drinks came to table when we nearly finish our food. Smoothie and iced coffee tasted like they’ve been blended in the same jug and not very fresh ingredients.

I had the French toast and it was spectacular, I loved all the components of the dish and they combined in a delicious way. I also got a loaf of sourdough bread which was very good as well. Would definitely recommend and will be back

Very busy place. The cabinet food always run out quickly. Decent coffee. Enjoy the cafe setting and decorations. Love to come back more often. Managed to sample few varieties of dishes. Good family place to hang out. This cafe advertised as children friendly. I do not see many toys or any playground for young children to enjoy.

As per my old photo - this was my Saturday treat - Bavarian pretzel. I would come across the city often with friends to grab those! Or I would pick them up at the High St Market. Love traditional pretzels... and I was advocating for it big time! Yesterday, I went again and not for the first time - pretzel was stale. No joy there! I wanted to make sure I didn't get stale pretzel and before buying it I mentioned it to the lady at the checkout, she gave me "The look" with the comment 'here, everything is always fresh!?' and yet again my pretzel wan not! $3 a pop and trip across the city - one would think fresh product is not much to ask! You don't know how to do it, or keep it fresh, don't do it at all! Once, after buying stale pretzels, I was told all the pretzels are baked the 'night before'!? Is that an excuse or something else. Need to know how to make it well? Please visit Countdown Metro Herne Bay, they make perfect traditional pretzels! Don't think I will be back. Sorry, loved the establishment and I really invested in going there, but now, I don't think it is worth it.

Excellent place to grab a coffee and have a bite! Props to the owners for the amazing atmosphere. The coffee and food were both also divine, thank you barista and kitchen crew. Our server Emil was also one of the best we’ve ever had. His large smile was friendly and welcoming. Would come here again any day.

This is one of our favourite cafes! Although the menu changes seasonally, the food is always great. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and the coffee is great. Part of the same group as Melba, B & B is worth the drive and the money. There’s also fresh bread and baked goods available in the cabinet. Personal recommendation: try the house hash brown!

I went here today. Don't seem interested in acknowledging the customer. Too busy doing something on a clip board behind the counter. Other staff more interested in customers coming in after me. Wouldn't have happened with the manager that used to manage this store. Customer service comes first

As a Portuguese expat in New Zealand, I obviously had to taste the Portuguese tarts on display in the cabinet. I was impressed with their quality, but did find the dough was not as light and crispy as back home. Still good, nonetheless! The coffee is delicious and note that if you order a large flat white, you get it in a bowl! For the main, I had the crispy corn fritters and boy was I impressed! Don't be fooled by the photo where all you see is the scrumptious scrambled eggs. The fritters underneath managed to stay crisp all the way through to my last bite. The middle Eastern flavors were the icing on the cake. In addition, for a full house, the service sure was not delayed and was done with a smile on their faces. Well done!

Great looking place with a good variety of delicious breads and sweet stuff which seems to be all prepped & cooked on site. Service was pleasant enough but they seem to congregate more around the person making the coffee then servicing the tables. Coffee was good, we ordered the big breakfast meal but felt the price we paid and what was offered was a little underwhelming compared to what we have been used too. We got in early and saw how busy this place can get, it caters as a sit down cafe as well as a takeaway bakery.
