The brunch spot on Mercery Lane where the coffee is worth ordering for its own sake. Most people come for the food; the cup earns a mention on the way out.

Mercery Lane brunch where the coffee is sharper than the food crowd notices.

What we love

  • Coffee draws specific praise from visitors measuring it against the county, not just the street
  • Mercery Lane location, a short walk from the Cathedral precinct
  • Brunch is the main event; the coffee holds its ground alongside it

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.
