Stroop Cafe

Stroop Cafe is a hidden gem on Northdown Road, providing a warm and inviting atmosphere. It’s particularly well-suited for those who prefer a quieter, more relaxed workspace away from the main hustle and bustle of Margate's Old Town. The interior is charming with comfortable furnishings and a pleasant aroma of freshly baked goods. Their coffee is consistently good, and their unique selling point is the authentic Dutch stroopwafels, which are a must-try. They also offer a selection of sandwiches and other homemade cakes. The crowd is typically a mix of local residents, families, and students, creating a gentle background hum rather than a loud buzz. Early afternoons are often the quietest. The staff are friendly and accommodating, making it a pleasant place to settle in for a few hours of focused work. If you're looking for a slightly different cafe experience with delicious treats and a calm vibe, Stroop is an excellent choice.
