Stag Coffee & KitchenCanterbury

"Bean Smitten's small-batch roast sits behind the counter of what is mostly a brunch and events venue. Worth knowing if you're in the Marlowe Arcade and want a properly sourced coffee rather than a default one."

What we love

  • Bean Smitten roast; named small-batch roaster
  • Brunch and events venue: food is the main draw, coffee is quieter
  • Marlowe Arcade, central Canterbury

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.
