The Old Custom House Restaurant

I chose the cafe on the basis of the owners Italian Heritage thinking that meant authentic Italian food. However my spaghetti with clams was DREADFUL. Never again will i visit this Cafe.

Now an amazing Italian deli/restaurant called La Delizia. And it is bloody delicious. I strongly recommend everyone to try it. You will be going back for more!

Okay. Lots of reviews here about the old restaurant - not good, now gone. Onwards! The Customs House building now hosts Frankonia Bakery, which sells bread, beautiful cakes and has one of those cafe type things with coffee and other stuff. The bread is the best I have found in the Folkestone to Brighton area. Wonderful sourdoughs and more. The cakes are even better. Proper French style gooeyness. Paris Brest to die for. Can't comment on the coffee but the light snacks are excellent. Tuna Melts, that sort of thing. But mainly you want the cakes. In volume. Coming one after the other. Staff are exemplary. I challenge you not to like it. Could not be more different to the previous owner/offering which was not great.

The bakery looks great but I found the lunch sandwiches to be overpriced for what you get, and I dont recommend warming up the quiche as they just stick it in the microwave until its a soggy mess.
