Garage Coffee Roasters

A cozy cafe near the cathedral. Great coffee and a nice selection of sweet treats and toast/sandwiches. The staff are always lovely.

Garage coffee had very good coffee, a small seating area inside and outside. Staff were friendly. It’s right in the heart of the city, a nice location.

Such a lovely, cozy spot to enjoy a really good coffee. Everything here is top quality. I had a long black, a buttery croissant, and a delicious Jaffa cake—all fantastic. The staff were super kind too; I had a little issue with my wallet and they helped me connect to the Wi-Fi so I could sort it out. Plenty of seating both upstairs and downstairs. Definitely a must-visit if you’re in Canterbury.

Review: This cute coffee shop in Canterbury city centre is a gem! We ordered a flat white and a mocha, along with a blueberry croissant that was honestly the best we’ve ever had. The coffee was rich and perfectly balanced, and the pastry was flaky and bursting with flavor. We didn’t notice the rest of the food menu until after we sat down, but it all looked amazing—I’m sure it’s as delicious as what we tried. The decor is charming and creates a warm, inviting atmosphere. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in Canterbury!

So happy to come across this pleasant little coffee shop in Canterbury. It is set in an ancient, characterful building close to the cathedral. Happily, the owners have resisted the urge to formulate a brightly lit tourist trap and have instead, taken the time to create a coffee shop with a beautiful ambiance, kind staff and quality ingredients. Prices are reasonable and the quality and colour of the cups and plates speaks of an attention to detail and care for their customers. Some nice views from the windows of the beautiful city of Canterbury. A well deserved 5 stars.

The Maypole blend is worth trying in itself - price is high but that reflects the quality of the coffee. The avocado toast is alright but there's not many food options (however that's no criticism, the main draw is the coffee). Lovely atmosphere as well and the staff are friendly. Would recommend a visit!

This little cafe is truly worthy of 5 stars. True student of the game. They do 1 thing and do it better than anyone else by a long way. I narrowed my coffee source down to three cafes in Canterbury based on types of bean and methods brewed. It turns out Garage coffee were the only one who truly understood the extraction process, preparation of milk and presentation. The result was a deliciously sweet cup of complexity. Bravo

Nice cafe, very smooth and delicious coffee, if slightly over priced. Unfortunately no air conditioning on the day we visited, which was very warm. Carrot cake very nice but a bit dry. Superb location in the heart of the city.
