Ten minutes south of the centre on Oaten Hill, where coffee leads and cardamom buns close the argument.

Coffee-first on Oaten Hill, where cardamom buns and record players do the rest.

What we love

  • Coffee-forward identity, not a food venue with coffee on the side
  • Cardamom buns, Swedish cinnamon buns, almond croissants on the counter
  • Local art on the walls, record players for sale

Micro Roastery★★ Specialty

Canterbury's own roaster. Staff grind to order, advise on the beans, and the tasting notes on the espresso are specific and accurate.

Lost Sheep Coffee★★ Specialty

Lost Sheep roast their own beans in Whitstable and run them straight through this kiosk. The setting undersells the coffee considerably.

Fringe + Ginge Coffee★ Everyday

Flat whites done right in a compact room on Northgate. The kind of neighbourhood coffee that's easy to take for granted until it's gone.
