Cafe St Pierre - Canterbury CT1 2BG

Nice hot chocolate, and nice cake. Feel like I sit in a cafe in France

We stumbled upon this lovely cafe and were so glad we did! They have a beautiful garden area — peaceful, cozy, and perfect for relaxing. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. We had an iced coffee and a cappuccino — both delicious. The food was amazing as well! We tried their famous honey cake, which reminded us a bit of Napoleon cake, but honestly, it was even better. So rich, light, and flavorful — absolutely loved it. We also had croissants, and they were unlike any we’ve tried before. They were sliced open and stuffed generously — mine was filled with ham and cheese, and my girlfriend had one with mushrooms. Super tasty and really unique! Everything was fresh and full of flavor, but what stood out the most was the warm atmosphere and kind staff. Highly recommended!

A Little Taste of France in Canterbury Cafe Saint-Pierre is a quaint shop that truly transports you to the streets of France. From the decor to the staff and overall vibe, it felt like a charming French escape. The menu was largely in French—something that might be tricky for some, but we enjoyed the authenticity. We got to pick from a lovely selection of pastries. The ham and cheese croissant was incredibly cheesy with just the right amount of ham—easily one of the better ones I’ve had. The chocolate croissant was beautifully flaky, buttery, and generously filled. We also tried the German sausage, which was okay—not the highlight, but the sauce was nice. The coffees were good, though I’d recommend adding sugar, as most people seemed to do. A popular choice was the Petit Dejeuner a la Francaise, a mini breakfast with a piece of bread, a pastry, and coffee for around 7—seemed like a great option for a light start to the day. Overall, a lovely cafe and a great quick pit stop before exploring the beautiful historic town of Canterbury. Would definitely recommend!

My husband and I stopped here for late lunch. Staff are all friendly and warm welcoming. Small dinning area but enough to enjoy and also available garden seating. My husband had a ham and chess croissant it was very nice. And salad is worth to pay. Lovely !!! And they have chocolate pistachio cake it’s not really sweat, and tasty great! You should try. When is nice weather we may Come back.

The service, the food and the atmosphere was lovely. The staff were very friendly. Very family friendly. I would definitely recommend. The mushroom-cheese croissant was a highlight for me personally.

My friend and had such wonderful pastry here. Lovely customer service too. Would definitely recommend!

Genuinely, one of the best cafes I have ever been in the UK. Nice service. The staff was very nice and friendly. The pastries and sweet were delicious and not too sweet. We really love the apple tart and custard cake. The atmosphere was lovely. I'd would definitely come back if I got a chance to visit Canterbury again.

Great pastries and lovely service. Also very calm and coffesque, which is what I was going for.
