We love to make the coffee for the town which loves to drink it.

The Café Nucleus lounge is in Military Road Chatham meters away from both the Pentagon Centre and the Waterfront bus station. Serving a wide range of hot, cold and alcoholic beverages and a diverse menu from light brunch options to jacket potatoes and homemade soups.

Stepping inside the boutique cafe, you’ll be whisked away by the Jungle vibes. A-washed with hanging plants, leopard prints, beautiful parrots and furnishings to match.

The Café Nucleus Lounge is our ‘grab and go’ concept tailored towards quick bites, takeaways, cakes and bakes. We offer a smaller menu than the other Café restaurants in our collection but we showcase some of the very best in-season Kentish produce and firm Café Nucleus favourites such as Eggs Benedict to our mouth-watering homemade soups.

The Café Nucleus lounge is the perfect place for brunch, lunch, afternoon tea or even an informal business meeting or community meet up.
