Reviews of Patisserie Valerie

d. j.

Stunning place for any occasion while shopping the busy streets of Maidstone. In the picture we had the afternoon tea for 2 which cost £10:95. Certainly worth every penny. Great customer service. Outside seating as well.

C. B.

I love going here as the cakes are so nice plus the staff are very friendly

The cakes here are gorgeous but was super unimpressed by the state of the cutlery and drinking glasses - not very clean at all.

Great cream tea and a reasonable price in new part of Maidstone.

L. B.

Nice spacious place in the shopping centre. It has out doors and indoors seating. The service was good, fast and very accurate, I entered to buy a take away cake since was my birthday, sadly they did not have many to sell in that moment but the lady at the till was helpful, she took the catalog and show me the pictures with the description. I had to buy separate portions of chocolate cake and made a cake. It was not that great, I have found it a bit dry, maybe it was not fresh since my birthday is the 2nd of January. I considered a bit overpriced the cakes for the size of portions. The prices of the candles are expensive as well a packet of 4 for £3,79

P. R.

Christmas present and it was delicious

D. S.

The food is lovely.

B. M.

Very obliging staff

P. W.

We went here for afternoon tea which was bought for me for my birthday. We were well liked after and the food was great. The only reason I've marked it as 4* and not 5* is that there was only about half the clotted cream necessary provided for the cream scones which felt like they'd skimped somewhat. Still decent value though - especially with unlimited hot drinks included.

K. H.

Always a feast for eyes and stomach

a. e.

Disappointed with the cream tea

M. W.

Great service, great cakes, great coffee. What more do you need? Come on in.

Great food, Attentive staff love coming here

C. M.

Not vegan choices , my friend ordered a bagel and asked to be heated, they literally put on the microwave therefore the bagel was hard, the staff didn't explain before hand that their kitchen was closed so this why they had to heat the bagel sandwich in the microwave. One of the staff was a bit abrupt, not sure she was nervous or stressed out, but the place was hardly busy , so no reason for the rudeness..

S. A.

Great afternoon tea last Sunday, lovely cakes and sandwiches and great cakes to take home too!

K. F.

My husband and I often pop into patisserie Valerie in Maidstone for some lunch and we find the service good especially when served by a lovely young lady called Natalie.

Great place to have a coffee and delicious piece of cake

C. W.

Very expensive. Hubby had a poached egg on cheese toast with salad - £9.25!!!! My baguette was 7.95, again expensive!! Cappuccino and hot chocolate were good. 👍

d. t.

Very clean. The food was tasty. The staff are very friendly. There are now 2 toilets open as a few weeks ago it was just the one toilet.

D. T.

The staff are lovely. The food is very tasty. Very reasonable priced. A very clean restaurant. The staff are very good at looking after their customers.

K. M.

Popped into the Maidstone branch in Fremlin Walk for lunch, we were seated quickly and given our menus by Adam, who was polite and knowledgeable about all the various choices on the menu. We had our fussy 4-year-old grandson with us, who had baked beans on toast with scrambled egg, while we had a vegetarian Croque Monsieur. Great food, great service and a nice atmosphere. Thank you to Adam and the rest of the team on the day.

N. B.

Lovely couple of hours at patisserie valerie maidstone today awesome afternoon tea waited on buy a lovely young lady natalie as much coffee and hot chocolate as you want then a lovely selection of sandwiches jam and scones plus a selection of amazing fancy cakes just fantastic big thanks to all the staff

V. F.

Visited today for afternoon tea with family. After a very disappointing and quite rude greeting when we arrived which resulted in us wandering around to find our reserved table, we then had great service from our waitress. She was fantastic, polite, helpful and attentive and made our experience very enjoyable. The afternoon tea was delicious. Thank you Natalie, you made our afternoon.

T. D.

We went for brunch - a present from family. The staff were very friendly, helpful and professional. The food was freshly cooked, very generous portions, and tasty. I've only ever been for cream teas and cakes before, which are amazing. I would recommend this place for any type of food, anytime.

Nice for a quick lunch. Natalie is lovely

A. R.

Lovely breakfast food and drinks. Has a nice little atmosphere and truly enjoyed stopping here for brunch with my friends. I really enjoyed my food, the presentation the taste and quality. Overall a very pleasant afternoon.

P. E.

We came across this place by accident. The place is so nice and relaxing. They not only do those fabulous cakes to die for, but other food. It was like you were walking into a bakers in Germany. Such a variety of cakes. Nice for a meet up. We also for a Christmas cake made one of them up, as you can do on line and it will be there waiting for you to collect. You want to try it as very easy to do. Very rich, but the experience is very good. I certainly will be going back. The staff are very polite and good in what they do. They also do drinks, coffee etc. Give it a try! You won't be disappointed.

A. B.

Good friendly service. Delicious coffee and cake.

A. L.

Always excellent Nice and smiley staff Everything tasty

N. W.

Just had smashing afternoon tea, served by Natalie with wonderful Customer Service, an asset to the Cafe. It was lovely & fresh & tasty with unlimited coffee.

B. A.

Bit of a mixed bag this place. Quite different from other branches I've visited in the past. They forgot to bring our cakes over after delivering the tea and after a fifteen minute wait I had to ask the staff where our cakes were. They were incredibly apologetic and brought them over immediately. They gave us a discount for thier mistake which was much appreciated.

P. D.

Absolutely stunning food and service. Natalie your service was perfect well done!!

G. C.

By far the best time I had here. Bose the manager couldn't do enough for us. And the food and presentation was excellent. I would definitely recommend patisserie Valerie to everyone visiting Maidstone. Bose thanks again. Gerard and his wife and daughter had a wonderful birthday celebration

M. W.

I have been there about four times since it opened and was looking forward to a first afternoon tea for three of us on a Friday afternoon. I was quite shocked to find a bare window display and just a few sad looking and expensive patisseries inside. Gone were those gorgeous continental delights. The coffee was good. I had expected a continental themed tea (miniatures of their previously lovely cakes) but the pastries on offer were tasteless. The scones and jam were nice. The sandwiches included one dried up slice of white bread, not good! The teenagers I was with didn't want to make a fuss so we kept quiet. I will go back to this or another branch but only if the nice cakes are on offer...especially la tarte aux framboises!

Had some breakfast here. Overpriced imo, but it's a chain so not really this particular café's fault. But did quality could be better. Everything was just a bit 'meh' for the price we were paying! Loads of space though, so good for big parties I guess.

Very friendly staff, coffee tastes fresh and my father was VERY impressed with his breakfast

M. L.

Nice venue, lovely cakes, pleasant staff, good hot chocolate, coffee not so.

Z. K.

A little bit shocked that the selection of their cakes was very poor. Normally its great and you cant decide. Probably just a one off shortage...Might check it out later and will write a new review if this changes. Otherwise the staff is very kind.

H. B.

I took my sister to the Patisserie Valerie in Maidstone today for an afternoon tea. It was for a special surprise for her 30th birthday. Andy the manager couldn't have been more accommodating and made it an extra special experience, thank you so much! We shall be returning!

M. W.

Patisserie Valerie is a Cafe, Restaurant, which also Specialize in exotic Cakes. The Service is Very Good. The interior is s very large Area to Seat many people. There is Also an Outside area to sit down, which is a Sheltered area from the Rain. The Area is Relaxed and most Pleasant.

L. R.

I went to Patisserie Valerie with my children on Sunday afternoon and we just love the cakes and the ice creams, the taste is unbelievable! I cannot imagined that a cake can taste so good! But the reason that I gave it 3 star is because of the waitresses, they are sooooo noisy! They laugh out loud in a place that they are suppose to keep themselves quiet and serve the customers. The Patisserie in Maidstone is a great place to go, but be prepare for the rudeness of the employees, they can sit on the table next to you chit-chat and enjoy themselves and leaving you waiting for the bills for quite long time annoying you so much that you will be wanting to get out there as fast as you could and never come back and the manager even seems to bother! Such a pity! Next time I will have a take away! :o/

S. H.

Always enjoy coming here for brunch wuth my son. Staff are friendly, kids menu is great and the food is also yummy! Clean, professional and family friendly place. Definitely recommend

T. S.

The food was Ok, I ordered a croissant, they said it was just freshly made, But in my opinion, I think they just re-heated it, but the over all presentation of their food and restaurant, Was lovely, Very decorative, Plus the staff were very polite.

j. c.

Great ambience with great old fashioned waitress service. This makes it a nicer place to have a catch up with friends over a coffee/tea and a small bite to eat.

S. B.

Going for a shopping day mid morning , I'm very pleased with the welcoming at the door , the free seating , the quick help for ordering . Recommending to go there when quiet to enjoy . All girls very nice

R. G.

I don't think in all if the visits I have had to any Patisserie Valerie i have never been disappointed. When you compare the option of high street Costa to a Valerie it's just not even the same league

M. Z.

One of my favourite coffee shops; lovely team, good service, delicious food, and reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

I had lunch today with my family, usual they are busy but always has time to look after us, service is 10/10 and food also. Staff is very lovely and always working with big smile!

M. S.

Great food and cakes but understaffed and they lack training. Waited 10 minutes before I was noticed. Have walked out before for the same reason!

S. S.

Average Tea. Scones were like baked buns. Cakes were not appealing. Sandwiches ok.

R. C.

A lovely afternoon tea, well looked after by the staff

A. C.

Lovely cakes and friendly service... I do feel like the place is edging their nets about how much a customer will pay for a slice of cake and seeing how far the will push it..

C. B.

Great little pit stop weather it's breakfast, lunch or just a little refreshment. Slightly overpriced in my opinion but it is nice food so it's almost justified.

e. O.

I did not overally enjoy my first visit here.. they didnt have 3 things items I wanted from the menu and the coffee wasnt very nice either.

One of my favourite places for coffee, great staff, wonderful service, clean and all in all great atmosphere.
