Quite Contrary - Canterbury

I have now been here twice and the title sums up how this little cafe makes me feel . Nothing is too much trouble . The first time I was served by a gentleman who asked me what strength I preferred my coffee , wiped down the tables and lifted all of the cake trays for my 6 year old to choose . This week a lady was baking as we arrived to add to the homeliness . My fussy 6 year old was delighted with a still warm chocolate cupcake and the orange juice is good quality . I had a delicious, warm homemade apricot scone with butter and fantastic coffee. Again , nothing was too much trouble as the lady helped my son take a play box into the patio and push tables together to make him space . Already planning to try the cheese and marmite scone next time I am in Tankerton!

What a lovely little place. Really friendly man, Kim served us. Great hospitality and purchased a lovely smelling candle xx

This is a delightful cafe with fantastic service and delicious scones. We had cheese scones which were warm and came with butter. The owner kindly wiped done the seats for us and brought out cushions. He was very attentive and made sure everything was to our liking. Lovely place! Will be going back.

I made an impromptu visit to this lovely little place for refreshments while my dog was at the groomers. Always friendly and great service. Home made cakes and scones. I had cheese and walnut scone and bake well tart with a pot of tea. All homemade and fresh even asked if wanted more hot water for teapot. Lovely shop too full of gifts. Have visited several times and would highly recommend

Found this place by accident and what a find it was. We were looking for coffee and cake, the coffee was really nice the gentleman that served us asked how strong we wanted it and it was perfect, as for the cake WOW my husband opted for the passion fruit and raspberry cake which was delicious, so moist and I had Bakewell Tart which must be the best I’ve ever had, the gentleman said his wife baked all the cakes, she definitely needs to be on the Great British Bake Off ! We are in Whitstable for a week and will definitely be going back before we go home.
