    Came to visit me mam this weekend and she told us about this little cafe on the canal. Itโ€™s a good place. Staff are really nice and the food is mega, this breakfast bap would be an easy ยฃ8-50. For ยฃ4.50 itโ€™s an absolute BARGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    What a great little find. Quirky and friendly double decker bus cafe. You can eat inside upstairs or outside on a little terrace area. Staff were so friendly. Made us smile listening to their banter.

    What a fabulous little cafe! The staff and other customers are so friendly and the cakes are lovely. The shady seating was very welcome yesterday for me and my grandson.

    Superb little gem, went on a motorbike wander and had sausage and egg barms with hot drinks. Vintage bus on the canal side, loads of outdoor tables by the canal for sunny weather. There is also a canal boat rental next door.

    What a gem of a find. The humans on board serving and cooking were funny, entertaining, and great. I certainly made them laugh when asking for an omelette with ham and egg instead of mushroom ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿป Food was lovely too.

    Popped along after staying over night in Aldington . Was with my daughter and grandson. Lovely quirky cafe with lovely outlook beside canal. Seating outside and inside. Parking available. We only had coffee and cake, but others were having breakfast which looked good. Will go back and try out when next in area.

    Bit slow serving but we did arrive late in the day which may have been a factor. Cakes and coffees were delicious. We will definitely be coming back

    Like stepping back in time! My school bus was an exact replica and it felt like being back at school as I stepped on the bus. Great breakfast food, highly recommend if youโ€™re looking for something different than an ordinary cafe.

    Perfect place for a bacon or breakfast barm .and a coffee by the chilled canal. Its a busy little place . But not too busy you cant get in . Food is spot on freshly cooked .. reasonable prices and staff are amazing the place is spotlessly clean too . Its a must for anyone

    Visited the boatyard cafe over the Easter weekend, and we decided to have our lunch there but unfortunately although the place wasn't busy the wait for food was extremely long with no apology from the staff member, and there was a little jack Russell roaming around the place begging at the table whilst we was eating our food (not good) other than that the food was well presented and very tasty, the place itself was very nice set beside the canal, worth a visit if you don't mind the wait for food and a jack Russell begging for your lunch.

    Lovely hidden gem by the canal! Found by accident as another venue we planned to meet at was closed and I'm glad it was! Beautiful coffee and the scones were delicious! I will definitely be back soon!
