THE REFECTORY KITCHEN REVIEWS

Had a fantastic breakfast here on Saturday morning while I was visiting the city. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Food was tasty and had a menu including vegan and vegetarian options. I had peacamole toast and veggie up breakfast. Overall great experience! Will visit again if I am in the city.

Fantastic breakfasts - consistently good, beautiful and perfectly cooked poached eggs, lots of variety and choices, and super sweet staff! The Rancher was delish and yes, the next day I added extra eggs to my benny.

My friend and I came to this place for a quick lunch. We both ordered a bacon and chicken toast and it tastes really good - probably some of the best toasts I’ve ever had in the UK. The breads are perfectly toasted and delicious - definitely a hidden gem. The price is quite reasonable too.

KITCH REVIEWS

Great little cafe/brunch spot. Had the Bacon Benedict with Avocado and freshly squeezed orange juice, which were both very good! All the staff were friendly and attentive. Overall, an enjoyable brunch and we’d definitely go again when visiting Canterbury.

Such a lovely cafe in Canterbury in city centre,the staff is really friendly and helpful..the food is delicious! They also have a lot of gf and vegan options,plenty of hot drinks as well as smoothies and veggie juices everything is freshly made! Highly recommended.

Tasty food and coffee. Good portion as well. There’s a bit of wait and the best part is no pressure given by staff to go when we finish our food. Had a nice brunch that.

CAFE ST PIERRE REVIEWS

Genuinely, one of the best cafes I have ever been in the UK. Nice service. The staff was very nice and friendly. The pastries and sweet were delicious and not too sweet. We really love the apple tart and custard cake. The atmosphere was lovely. I'd would definitely come back if I got a chance to visit Canterbury again.

Delightful cosy cafe with delicious baked goods and good cafe. The garden is a hidden gem - was a tad too cold on the day that we were there otherwise we would have sat outside. Service was a bit slow but when someone finally came they were friendly and nice.

Lovely place for breakfast, everyone very welcoming and the service was great. The food was excellent but the Coffee needs a bit of tweaking. I think the quality of the beans needs looking at as my cappuccino was watery and tasted bitter not smooth. However, it wouldn't stop us returning.
