Welcome to the first chapter of the Goodness Café blog—a place where coffee meets character, and every cup has a story (or a little drama).
Yes, we said “histrionics.” Not the theatrical kind (well, maybe a little). We’re talking about the beautiful chaos, the unfiltered moments, the little daily spectacles that make this café more than just a café. Goodness is a feeling, a rhythm, and a whole vibe.
Act One: In the Beginning, There Was Coffee (and a Wobbly Table)
Goodness Café didn’t appear out of nowhere. It was brewed with purpose, like a long black on a winter morning. Born in the heart of Jervois Road, Herne Bay, the idea was simple: serve wholesome, soulful food in a space that feels like home. No pretentious menus, no cold interiors. Just good food, good people, and good energy.
Our first day? The coffee machine nearly walked out. The milk fridge was warmer than the soup. And someone dropped a full tray of eggs. But somehow, by noon, we had regulars—people who didn’t just want coffee, they wanted connection.
The Cast of Characters
There’s Daisy, who orders her oat cappuccino with a side of existential questions. Mark, who sits by the window and critiques the playlist like a seasoned music journalist. And of course, our baristas—each one part coffee chemist, part therapist, part stand-up comedian.
Every regular adds their own flavour to Goodness. We remember names, stories, and how you like your eggs—even if it’s “scrambled with a dash of emotional support.”
Daily Drama: More Than Just Meals
Some days it’s the lunch rush. Other days, it’s a delivery truck blocking the entrance while a kid faceplants into banana bread. And then there are the magical moments, like strangers sharing a table and becoming friends. Or a quiet morning when the sun hits the windows just right, and everything feels… good.
We’ve hosted proposal preps, birthday brunches, and post-breakup recovery breakfasts. There’s laughter, there are tears, and there’s always toast.
Why We’re Telling You This
This blog isn’t just about food (though yes, the quinoa porridge deserves a fan club). It’s about people, place, and presence. The moments that aren’t always Insta-perfect but are 100% real.
So we’re here to share those stories. The messy, magical, sometimes mildly ridiculous things that happen at Goodness Café. Every post will give you a peek behind the counter, and maybe remind you why local cafés still matter.
