ā€œBeen to this amazing Cafe lots of times but never left a review. We absolutely love this place ! My dog goes crazy for the dog biscuits and ice cream. We love the coffee cakes and the sandwiches look so good. It’s really important to support these local independents as the town will be a quiet place without them.ā€

Coffee & Canines is a really lovely, friendly coffee shop. You're made to feel welcome even without a dog. There are plenty of drinks to choose from, both hot and cold, as well as sandwiches and the most delicious cakes, including seasonal themed cakes like the one in the photo!! It has the most wonderful atmosphere. I now wouldn't go anywhere else in Gillingham. Thank you, Coffee and Canones, for all that you provide.

Such a wonderful and special place. Can’t wait to visit again soon with one, two or three of my dogs. My darlings adored the dog treats and toys I brought home.

The most amazing and welcoming space I've ever had the pleasure of entering and being a part of. The owner, Jenny, is a pioneer in supporting artists, creators, and makers, as well as offering a safe space for hosting events and championing eco products for dogs. A gorgeous selection of cakes and savouries, and now sandwiches! As well as THE best hot chocolate I've ever had. A true hub for the community of Gillingham, which I couldn't imagine it without.

I always enjoy visiting this lovely space. It’s so welcoming and I love that you can take your dog and enjoy the delicious cakes and browse all the doggy stuff and gifts. Such a great asset for the local community with lots of events being held here. I particularly enjoy the Marketing Hub held every week, which has been so beneficial for me ā¤ļø

ā€œI'm a regular at this, my local Costa. Staff are excellent. The gals are friendly and professional - most importantly they know how to make lovely coffee. Problems - not because of the store's staff :- sometimes deliveries to the store are not in schedule 🤦leading to low stocks of cakes, sandwiches etc .... Some comments have noted *dirty tables* whatever. Sometimes the 2 on duty (occasionally even 1) can be overwhelmed for a few minutes with customers. However ask them to clear/clean your table and it will be done ASAP. Plus as soon as the short rush is over normal cleaning etc is done. The store and toilet ARE wheelchair (accessable).ā€
