Welcome to The Old Curiosity Shop 
Community Cafe and Tea room in 
Broadstairs Kent

Welcome to my Community Cafe & Tea Room set in the heart of the Historic town of Broadstairs, Kent. The town that was home for a time to writer Charles Dickens. The Old Curiosity Shop is located just 2 mins walk down Harbour Street under the old stone arch where you will find Viking Bay with its beautiful beach and harbour area. 
When you enter you will be greeted with a smile and a warm welcome to make you feel at home as you mingle with our local & visiting customers. Our locals are a wealth of knowledge about the local area, where to go and what to see. Plus our many guests who return again and again from across the UK and abroad.
You can enjoy hot and cold food, sandwiches, tea, coffee cream teas and cold beverages plus we have an area just for our younger guests to play with toys. Also enjoy viewing and buying from displays highlighting our local artists and crafts. 
There are also many events that take place weekly.
We look forward to welcoming you to our passion, The Old Curiosity shop.
