We’re a small, independent café on Hythe High Street. Join us for breakfast, lunch or a coffee, and discover our beautiful garden out the back.

FOOD AND DRINK

OUT THE BACK

A little green escape

Step through the café and you’ll find our leafy garden, with tables tucked among the plants. Find a spot for breakfast, lunch or a coffee outside.

MORE THAN A DAYTIME CAFÉ

Bring your people together at Nutmeg

From a table full of paintbrushes to a charity get-together, we love seeing the café bring people together.

Join one of our creative events, or hire the whole café for a celebration of your own. We’d love to hear what you have in mind.

For our neighbours, and those just passing through.

We’re an independent café with a welcome for locals and holidaymakers alike. Working with local suppliers is part of what makes our coffee, food and baked treats feel like Nutmeg.
