Great independently run coffee shop in the heart of Canterbury. Everything is home made and delicious. Staff and friendly, helpful and will give advice about visiting the city. They are a card only business but offer both sit down and take away options

Lovely coffee shop with a perfect dirty chai latte and the pastries were fresh out of the oven. The owner was very friendly.

Lovely cafe next to the cathedral, i ordered the smashed avacado and eggs, reccomend! Today I was served by a lovely young girl who was interested in hearing about my day and helpful when deciding what to order, and the coffee made by the young man behind the counter was amazing! Brilliant find

I like my morning coffee in a nice atmosphere so here to give it a go and they didn't disappoint me. Very nice friendly ambience with positive vibes. Good coffee, good service even I'll have had to wait for 10min to order. Hope coming back again when in town.

I had not been here before and so this was a nice surprise. The place is nice and cosy, the staff were friendly. We had some food which was the granola breakfast. There was a generous portion of food at a reasonable price. I could see from what others were having this was quite consistent. All the food looked great. The atmosphere was quite quiet which was really pleasant. The coffee was great as well. I will definitely come back.

Really lovely place! A friend of mine recommended the place to me and I checked it out! Great coffee, I had a white mocha with hazelnut syrup and oat milk (amazingly made, and tasted great), and I had this really tasty granola bowl with yogurt, oats, strawberries, raspberries and some other tasty fruit (10/10 mix, I asked for some cinnamon and maple syrup to add and it was exceptional to me). Really cool vibe to the place, and was really impressed by the miniature train set they have towards the back. Shout out to rachel for her kind service and the male staff with glasses (he actually built the train set himself! Really impressive). I’ll definitely be back, highly recommend!
