Thumbs down from this American, as these were the worst pancakes I've ever had. This cafe claims…read moreall their ingredients are shipped from the US to "make" their pancakes (as if somehow American flour is different from British), but I'm not buying that these pancakes are homemade at all. They taste and have the texture of grocery store pancakes. You're not fooling me. Also, beef chili and maple syrup on pancakes at the same time? Salmon and cream cheese on pancakes? YUCK. That is just a crime against food. It's not hard to make a load of buttermilk pancake batter. If you're going to put a huge sign in the window saying you're an "American Pancake House" the pancakes need to live up to that claim. American expats and travelers alike: I'd advise avoiding this cafe for breakfast. In addition the eggs were a bit rubbery and the hash browns were fine but nothing to write home about. Service was a bit slow but very friendly.

This cozy and intimate coffee bar serves some amazing breakfast, and they also serve traditional American breakfast which can be a great comfort when traveling abroad. Their waffles and bacon and crepes are very delicious. The service was prompt and very friendly. All of these combined make for a great experience at this restaurant, now allow me to add the cherry on top. If you visit the top restroom you will see some signange that talks about the long history of this building, as a history nerd I totally fell in love with this place and will HIGHLY recommend this place to everyone! The Bad, Nothing.

It's a cute little French cafe on a corner near the arch/end of the high street. The shop has amazing fresh baked pastries and other French foods that are ready for grab-and-go takeaway, as well as the best baguette sandwiches I've ever had. I usually get the baguette with prosciutto and it comes with lettuce, tomato, and I believe cheese mayo (?) depending on what you order. The baguette was the freshest I've ever had and has such a great flavor. It's getting a little cold out now but there is also dine in options in the cafe, including a nice garden area. The atmosphere is calming and peaceful and I love coming here whenever I'm in town. The prices are so affordable considering the quality and amount of food AND the lovely service you receive. I definitely recommend this place!!

The cafe is small, seating maybe 20 people, with a warm, cozy feel, especially with their fall decorations lining the main front window. The staff were friendly and polite, bringing out menus and giving us time to peruse. It took a little bit of time to order as it appeared only one person was manning the front of house, and it was between shifts, however when the food came out we weren't disappointed. We ordered a traditional fish and chips £16.75 and an open fish butty £10.25 (part of their 12-4pm lunch specials), and to drink a single Canterbury Gin £5.50 with a Fever Tree tonic as mixer £2.35. Both lunch plates were stellar, I'm not sure I've had a better rendition of fish and chips before! The crispness of the battered exterior was perfection! The tender interior of cod was the epitome of what you want in a delicious f&c. The garlic butter peas and chips were good too. The fish butty was essentially a couple slight smaller pieces of the the same fried fish on a toasted piece of bread with tartare sauce, lettuce, tomato and capers. YUM. The g&t was also delicious, "with notes of juniper, citrus peel, coriander and apple", and crafted locally only 300 meters away in Canterbury. If we weren't traveling I would've loved to try some of the other gins too, all the descriptions sounded intriguing! Note 10% gratuity added to all parties, the menu indicates this is distributed to the service team and chefs.

We popped in here in the middle of an intense rainstorm for an impromptu cream tea, and wound up coming back a few hours later for dinner. Everything we had was amazing!! The scones were the best gluten free scones I have ever had, served with clotted cream and jam. The brownie was out of this world, and had dairy free ice cream that was insanely good. The steak and onion bap was incredible. The sticky toffee pudding was good, but personally way too sweet for me. My tea only came half filled, but it was a small oversight for such delicious food. I loved being able to order anything in the restaurant without worrying about cross contamination, since it's all 100% gluten free in the restaurant!! We will definitely be back!!

They have an impressive selection of teas, many with really interesting names and flavors. I got Butterscotch Tea. It really does taste like butterscotch sans sugar. Upon leaving, I decided to get some truffles at the front display as takeaway. They had a deal for if you buy 6 truffles, though I forget how much it was. I had a Chocolate Coated Marshmallow, Sun-dried Tomato Marzipan, White Chocolate Tropical Fruit, Dark Chocolate Peppermint, Caramel Cookie Truffle, and Coffee Cookie Truffle. The girl helping me was very nice and explained each truffle flavor (They had a lot!) and gave some recommendations. My favorite was surprisingly the Sun-Dried Tomato Marzipan, it was sweet and salty with a fruity hint. I'm hoping to come back the next time I visit the UK. This was such a highlight from my Canterbury trip.

Anywhere that serves a chocolate croissant and a coffee for £2.80 is a winner in my eyes!…read more This place is uber cute, with quirky but quaint decor and an abundance of comfy chairs and hidden spaces to hide away and devour whatever chocolatey goodness it was that you ordered. The waiting staff are lovely and, most importantly, the food and coffee is really great! It's a perfect little cafe for breakfast with a friend and I'd recommend it to anyone. If you're not in the mood for breakfast, however, this place also serves an amazing selection of little chocolates as well, which looked pretty incredible so why not try some of those instead? All in all, this place really impressed me and is definitely a little Canterbury hot-spot that I would highly suggest you visit!

Well what can I say, the decor was warming and oh so inviting. Not to mention clean and cosy. The owner is a lovely lady, very kind and was happy have a friendly chat whilst telling us about her homemade brownies which were absolutely dangerously delicious (and of course the plate was cleaned with not even a speck of brownie left). The whole afternoon tea selection of sandwiches, tarts, cakes and not forgetting the refreshing and rich pot of tea was all homemade or locally sourced and was oh so tasteful, especially the melt in your mouth scones served with clotted cream and thick jam. Be sure to visit and you wont be disappointed. We cannot wait to return. Be sure to keep an eye out on Groupon for an afternoon tea voucher this place sometimes has offers on there.

But the service is great, so if you are heading into town and need a place to stop for a meal, this is the place to go.
