Didas
Didas at 54 Jervois Rd in Herne Bay has been my favourit local cafe/office for some time. Always great food but make sure you ask for double shot coffee as their standard is single shots. 

Today I had the Steak Sandwich and with a couple of coffee's made for a lovely sunday brunch in the Herne Bay sunshine.

I had the Brussel Sprout Chips to start which were gressy but tasty. Followed by the New York steak which was awesome with the Syrah.

To finish I had the Lemon Suffle Cake matched with a desert wine that was delicious.

Marlowe is a small 50 odd seat restaurant with great staff and a bubbly atmosphere. If you can book early and check it out. It's right opposite the calltrain station at 330 Townsend St in SOMA San Francisco
