Best KPortal Reviews
Be aware of this very expensive tourist trap. As other very positive review say, they have a vast amount of pastries to choose from. And they probably were good when they opened the cafe. But now it is only about ripping off and serving cheap and soggy pastry. When we arrived all the pastry had no price tags, so we asked the staff about prices. We wanted to get some of the different sausage rolls. The waiter told us they were from £2 to £4.50 the more expensive ones. Actually only one pastry had a price which was the black pudding sausage roll, at £4.50. See the attached photo. So we ordered a plain sausage roll, a black pudding sausage roll, chorizo sausage roll, and a bacon cheese turnover. They were soggy as they don’t seem to warm them up properly, likely in microwave. Then came the surprise for the 4 pastries (no drinks), they charged us £19.56. Almost £20 for 4 pastries, one of them a plain sausage roll. How does £2 to £4.50 add up to £20? Very expensive and it was not worth it. I’m local in this area and can tell you, don’t waste your money here. When asking the waiter about why it was so expensive? She even apologised for them being so expensive. I couldn’t believe it. I pointed at the pastry with the price tag saying £4.50 and she said that that price was incorrect, those cost £6. But it says £4.50! They (3 waiters came to talk to me) apologised but they did not resolve the issue. If you advertise at a price but then charge more, all I feel is being ripped off. It is clear that they don’t care about the customer experience, all they care is taking as much money from the customers as possible.
On a wet windy cold day this bakery was a delight to visit! ALL the food looked fresh and delicious.
Such a warm welcome and pleasant experience, we will be back for more very soon, makes a difference when the customer service is nice.
We initially had takeaway coffees then before we left to go home went back for some yummy cakes!
Thank you ☺️
Excellent addition to the seafront. Vast array of pastries and cakes. They also have an impressive selection of seafood as well. Tea and coffee looked good, traditional tea pot/set. Only slight criticism was that vinegar wasn’t offered with the seafood.
Impressed by the vast selection of cakes, biscuits and savories. However the cake was extremely dry! Both the carrot cake & vanilla sponge squares were a generous size, but not very tasty or soft. Dogs are allowed inside, if you need somewhere that you can take your pooch. Not much seating indoors though, most seating out front.
A good walk along the prom. Needed a coffee and a bite to eat. Did not dissapoint . Very good coffee. Toasted sandwiches Very generously filled. Simply cheese and tomatoe. Very tasty. Great cinnamon buns. Highly recommend. Sat outside a little sunshine on a plate. Shame the actual sun didn't shine
Order delivered promptly and piping hot, wrapped in foil and in a sealed box. Contents of the baps were generous and thoroughly enjoyed ,as was the pistachio carrot cake. Will certainly use Kathy's again.
So nice for the food to still be hot when delivered
Always such a lovely experience when I visit Kathy’s. The food is amazing and there is so much to choose from, you’re spoilt for choice. For a small business the prices are very reasonable and I always leave feeling full and satisfied. The staff are really friendly and so patient, especially when I’m taking ages to choose from their selections. I would definitely recommend trying Kathy’s if you haven’t already, it’s my favourite go to in Lee on Solent!
You'd struggle to find a better selection of vegan pastrys and other vegan stuff as good as this, in anywhere other than a vegan cafe. Coffee is great too. And it's on the seafront ????
