Went last Wednesday for a bite of lunch down by the harbour in the sunshine. An unassuming place from the outside. The Cafe is divided into 2 parts with the second being a retail area which we didn 't try. Archive Cafe has an interesting display counter where you can see exactly what 's on offer. Inside seating area different aswell as a clutch of outside tables looking over the harbour. We chose a couple of quiches from the specials with salad. Mine was Mushroom blue cheese a side of coleslaw, all made in the kitchen. loved every last mouthful. Followed it by a Mixed berry Swedish bun, just so moist packed with flavour a coffee where clearly the barrista knew their stuff a mere americano at...
I was disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. I only wanted a light lunch, so I ordered the Smoked Salmon Cream Cheese Sandwich with a side salad. The menu only listed a bagel, but I requested a sandwich instead. The staff seemed confused and asked if I meant two slices of bread with the salmon inside. My husband also ordered a sandwich, but his cappuccino was small for the price. The sandwich had very little salmon and the side salad consisted of only a few strands of lettuce. The staff appeared bored and I do not plan on returning. The area is beautiful with a lovely view of the harbor.
We went for a family lunch, I ate a bacon chicken and avocado sandwich and salad with a cup of coffee. at first it seemed fine then needed the toilet, twice before I paid, 3 times in the next 20 min. by the next day I was in bed with stomach cramps. I called the restaurant and spoke with the manager who was very apologetic, he said to email him and he would sort something out to say sorry. No reply, tried the restaurants email address a few times as well nothing, not even a sorry be careful
The Archive is located on the waterfront and is a beautiful place to sit outside. We only stopped in for a coffee as our expensive parking was about to expire, but we wished we could have stayed longer. The lady who waited on us was friendly and welcoming, without any pressure to order more than just coffee. The whole restaurant was very clean, and the restroom was excellent. We will definitely look forward to returning the next time we are in town.

Archive is one of the best, most reliable places to eat in Ramsgate and it looks out on the harbour. We had 2x avocado on toast and 1 creamy mushrooms on toast. All excellent and these days good value for freshly prepared food. They do excellent breakfasts too. Need to come here more often.
This is a great cafe under the arches in Ramsgate. We sat upstairs with lovely views of the harbour. The service was delightful. Delicious breakfast pancakes, granola and yoghurt and washed down with the freshest cinnamon bun. Highly recommend.
One of my favourite coffee stops, friendly staff, lovely coffee holiday feel when the sunshine’s outside sat by the harbour. I always recommend coming here to friends as it’s always a pleasure.
It's nicely done in here but just didn't hit the spot for us. A tiny cappuccino for £3.50 and expensive menu plus a slight unfriendly vibe from one of the staff meant it wasn't for us.
