Reviews For Lenny's of Rochester

Absolutely love Lenny's and have been here countless times for lunch, breakfast and cake. Decided to try their wonderful afternoon tea for a Mother's Day treat and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious and there was so much of it! We took the leftovers home which was another tasty treat to enjoy in the evening too. The cakes were amazing and we loved being able to choose the sandwich fillings we wanted from their huge selection. Service was great as always. Would highly recommend. Can't wait to go back soon for another afternoon tea treat! Thank you Lenny's!

The chicken chorizo pasty, gypsy cake, pistachio hazelnut cake & salad bar are amazing!!!! This is a must-visit and the staff are so sweet even when it's rush hour they're patient and friendly.

I stopped here with family to enjoy the Rochester high street, and it was a really great experience. The staff were so kind and friendly, and made us feel catered to and welcome. The food is really good value for money as well and the upstairs section has good views and a nice atmosphere. Lenny’s is a good cafe for families and those with kids as well. I would definitely recommend this cafe for those in need of an affordable, quick lunch or coffee break without the huge wait times of other cafes up the high street.

Went to Lennys as I was offered a replacement cake and drink following a disappointing experience previously. Cake and coffee was delicious this time. No disappointment today.

Visited today late afternoon and will certainly return. The Samosa tasted particularly delicious but also enjoyed a pasty & Panini which were great plus drinks. Grabbed a Belgium bun & a slice of chocolate to go as we left and they too were great. Attentive service including recommendations as there were so many cakes we struggled to choose.

Delicious! We tried so many treats, they were all so good, but the chicken & chorizo pasty was delicious, we had to go back and buy another one after! Staff are super helpful and friendly too. Highly recommend, we'll be back for sure!

For takeaway there is a great range of high quality sandwich ingredients, and a selection of bread to put them in. Added to that pasties, samosas and a vast selection of desert treats and this might be the best sandwich shop in the area. Of course it's a bit more expensive than Subway but you get what you pay for.

The most delicious cakes! Ordered a gorgeous chocolate and coconut doughnut while my partner got a biscoff brownie... We both lamented not getting more while we were in town... We will be back!
