Loving the homemade cakes. 13/04/21- Lovely lunch at Phoebes. Good range on menu, large sandwiches/baguette/panini selection. Salads, omelette and jacket potato’s and breakfast menu before 11.30. All reasonably priced. Delicious homemade cakes, perfect with my Americano. Fantastic customer service and the owner was lovely. 14/04/21- My 7 year old daughter was so happy with yesterday’s visit, she insisted we came back again today. The food and service is excellent again and the space is Covid secure with a lovely sun trap court yard. Lots of space and social distance with a warm welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended, well worth a visit.

Just listen to all the 5 star reviews and come here. Friendly staff more than happy to indulge reasonable requests and the eggs Benedict is PHENOMENAL. Proper stuff, you can taste the butter in the hollandaise. Will always come back whenever we're in the area!

My Wife and I had been going into Phoebes for quite some time, always enjoying the lovely lunch selection, afternoon tea and amazing cakes on offer. We loved it all so much we asked the wonderful owner (Lesley) if she could make our cakes for our wedding. She was more than happy to accept and provided us with the most wonderful wedding cake and cupcakes, they really stole the show on the big day. Lesley made the whole process really easy on us and was happy to work with whatever we wanted, we even got to do a little cake tasting! We are so grateful for everything Lesley has done for us and our big day, and we will always be happy customers returning back to Phoebes for more sandwiches and afternoon teas!

Fringe + Ginge Coffee

72 Northgate, Canterbury CT1 1BB, UK

4.9 (347 reviews)

P: Not available

Fringe and Ginge in Canterbury is a must-visit coffee shop that truly stands out. Their flat whites are smooth and velvety, with a perfect balance of espresso strength and creamy milk, while their mochas deliver a rich, chocolatey flavor that blends harmoniously with the coffee’s bold notes. Both drinks are topped with expert latte art, showcasing the baristas’ skill and attention to detail. The selection of bakery items is equally impressive, featuring freshly baked pastries, cakes, and other sweet treats that are hard to resist. Whether you’re in the mood for a buttery croissant or a decadent slice of cake, the quality is always top-notch. The staff contribute significantly to the café’s appeal. They’re super friendly, engaging, and incredibly efficient, managing the steady stream of customers with a smile. It’s easy to see why Fringe and Ginge is a local favorite—the place is often packed, creating a vibrant, bustling atmosphere. The only downside is the limited seating inside, which can fill up quickly, so it might be best to arrive early or grab a takeaway. Adding to its charm, the café is dog-friendly, welcoming four-legged companions with open arms. This small touch makes it a wonderful spot for dog owners looking to relax with a quality cup of coffee in a lively, community-oriented setting. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience some of the best coffee and baked goods Canterbury has to offer!

I think I fell in love with this little cozy Coffee shop! The girls who worked there when we came were lovely. The place inside si small but a lot of natural light comes in so you don't really feel suffocated and there are outdoors benches and tiny tables. I took a Chai Latte and my boyfriend took a Long Black. We added a bag of coffee from their little shop, because it was a very interesting blend. The lady asked us if we wanted the beans grounded and then proceeded asking for what purpose was the coffee(to get the best grounding level). I found it very professional. The Chai is made with a mixed powder a little spiced. I usually don't take Chai when it's a powder because it comes out very sweet but this was one of the best Chai Latte I've ever had. So if you are like me, don't worry about taking this one, even if it's in powder!! The spices blended so well with the taste. And my partner was happy with the taste of his coffee too. Extra bonus for the aesthetic

We went in for a coffee after roaming around the town the whole day on a cold winter day. Loved the beautiful decor, coffee was really good and we had a brownie which was amazing!! There are lot of quick bite options as well which we would love to try next time we are there ! Really cute place with lovely staff and good looking furniture! You can get some beautiful Instagram pics for your feed! Recommended!

We have eaten at this restaurant a couple of times and loved it Today after a really hard day at work we really fancied a curry but were to tired to go out. I didn’t realise that they did delivery to our village which is a good 15 minutes drive from the restaurant. I booked it online paid cash on delivery and ordered all our favourites that we eat in the restaurant. It’s was so easy and in under an hour a cheerful lady delivered our curry as promised. It was just as nice as the food in the restaurant. I highly recommended this place the service either if you eat in or order a delivery is brilliant and the food is fantastic.

That was surprising! We happened to come in relatively late on Sunday evening without a reservation and were greeted and served very friendly. Questions about the menu were patiently explained to us, so we were happy with our choice of dishes. Without exception, all the dishes we ordered were very tasty and tasted of different flavors. We are very excited and will definitely come back. Thanks!

I have been here many times and always had a good experience. The food is delicious and staff helpful and friendly. The outside seating is on loose stone with some shade and inside are a few large tables for a big group. The venue is varied and GF and vegans are catered for.

Heavenly cakes. Happy & friendly staff. Tadpole makes a great meeting place for walks and is dog-friendly. [Update] Croque madame to die for and the most gorgeous lemon drizzle cake.

I’ve been going here for years. It’s the only place I go. It’s so much more than a place to have the best coffee in town, it’s also a community. They champion local produce, serve a small but high quality selection of sweet treats and savoury dishes, and always have a kind word and smile for each of their customers. Great work team Nutmeg and Coldblow Coffee 💙💙💙

This is by far my all time favorite coffee shop, there are a huge selection of choices that manage to cater for everyone and almost all the produce and products sold help support loads of local businesses! Nutmeg is a local haven, not many coffee shops give you the chance to drink coffee from beans roasted just a few miles away, not to mention that every coffee is also served with care and love from all the amazing staff

The food was great with very generous portions. The staff were lovely. My only slightly negative comment was the overpowering smell of bleach which was a bit off putting. If we were in the area again we would certainly return.

We visited the Fat Ox in Tenterden today, having won a meal for two on a facebook competition.. we would have happily paid for the meal as it was all amazing. We both had the pork belly with crackling, pigs in blankets on the side, one portion was plenty for two to share, and a Biscoff cheesecake for pudding. We both had clean plates and were really impressed. The pub was busy and had a lovely atmosphere.. Landlady Amy and her barmaid Hannah were really friendly and provided fantastic service. Would definitely go back!

Friends had told us that they had a great breakfast at Silcocks Farm Shop and suggested we should pop in and give it a try. Firstly it is a beautiful place with plenty of character and is very nicely presented and maintained with a lovely atmosphere. The shop has plenty of great farm produce for sale at very reasonable prices, we only had a quick look around but what we did see was all high quality, maybe when we have more time we will pop in again and have a proper look. The breakfast was delicious and service was exceptional and the price was very reasonable. I can definitely recommend the full English breakfast! Overall 10 out of 10 and look forward to visiting again.

Met some friends for coffee and had lovely time in friendly atmosphere. The scone was very good and the shop was interesting with fresh produce. There is a car park so easy to park and a ramp up to shop so easy access for anyone disabled. They sell a good range of plants.

Canterbury is brimming with history and charm, but sometimes a hungry tourist needs a good breakfast to fuel their adventures. That's where the Beano Cafe swoops in, saving the day with a breakfast spread that's as mighty as Dennis the Menace' scraper bike. My inner child did a little jig when I saw the name, and the menu did not disappoint. I opted for the classic English brekkie, and let me tell you, it was a full-on feast for a champion. The sausage were juicy and plump, they burst with flavour in every bite. The egg was cooked as expected, their golden yolks begging to be mopped up with the accompanying toast. The bacon added a salty touch, while the baked beans offered a welcome touch of sweetness. But the real surprise was the fried bread. Golden and fluffy on the inside, it had a satisfyingly crispy exterior. It was the perfect vessel for scooping up beans, mopping up egg yolk, or simply savoring on its own. The toast, perfectly toasted and generously buttered, provided a more traditional option for those who prefer a less adventurous approach. The Beano Cafe isn't just about the food. The entire experience is a delightful homage to the world of Beano comic books. From the quirky decor to the friendly staff who seem to have stepped straight out of the pages, it injects a playful energy into the breakfast routine. Whether you're a Beano enthusiast or simply looking for a hearty and delicious breakfast in Canterbury, the Beano Cafe is a must-visit. The food is fantastic, the atmosphere is fun, and it's the perfect way to start your day with a smile. Just be warned, this breakfast is fit for a hero, so come hungry!

my go-to for a good cooked breakfast. Never disappoints, always with great service and delicious food. Clean inside too. 5/5 I tried all the cooked breakfasts I could find in Canterbury over the last year or so, to see what’s best. Beano wins :)

Best place for breakfast, absolutely brilliant every time I visit. The coffee is the best I've tried in canterbury, not sure why it's so good but it is. I've been to most cafes in canterbury now and this is by far the best. The food is always hot and fresh, very little wait time, service is always spot on and one of the best places for prices. Seriously, try this place, at least for a fry-up if nothing else.

Good food and prices, conveniently located close to the city centre. I went to The Beano Cafe for a late morning breakfast consisting of scrambled eggs, two slices of toast, a portion of chips and a can of fizzy pop. The cost was only £7.00. The chips were particularly nice, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I would recommend this cafe. If you found this review helpful, please click on the heart icon, thanks.
