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.

Reliable flat whites where the clientele mostly came for the toastie.

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.

Ark Music, Coffee and Bites★ Everyday

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