We went in to Patisserie Valerie and they were very welcoming saying they too were closing but were happy to serve us. The coffee was good italian style. What I liked they didn't rush us and I will definitely be going back. The cakes looked divine. The only criticism was that the comfy chairs were really worn could do with some new ones.

Their pastries made daily in-house are simply irresistable, from fruit tarts, chocolate choux rolls to miniature pies, they're laden with lashings of cream. The extravagance of this kind of treat is certainly worth the extra pennies (around £2-3 each). The cafe itself has that classic Italian feel to it, with marble tables and a terrace outside to enjoy the summer days and some of their home made gelato and a coffee or if you're hungry their paninis are sure to be a hit too. I love this place.

Every single time there is a different pastry to try (or so it seems), along with cakes, sausage rolls (normal or spicy), chocolate, macrons (so many varieties - my favourite being salted caramel) and the most amazing different kinds of bread. Everything he sells is made the morning before the bakery opens and there is a limited amount. Once it's sold out its sold out! There are a few small tables and a sofa and it can get quite busy at the weekends. The guy who runs the place is very nice, as is all the staff. We love to sit down, order food and drinks, relax then take home tons of stuff to eat throughout the day! X

Comfortable seating although tables are a bit too close to each other for my liking. You should try the coffee eclairs or the mille-feuille.

Coffee is not as great as the one you would find in Starbucks or Costa Coffee, however their tea is nicely served in a cute little pot. Worth a visit.

One of the go to places for breakfast in Canterbury. Possibly top 5!!…read more This is such a good place, and I already cannot wait to go back. Went for an early brunch, in which I got the Green Eggs and Ham and a friend got Eggs your way, and both were so good! Eggs were cooked to perfection. It is a smaller restaurant, which means it's quite intimate; know that they don't do large parties. But the service is great, so if you are heading into town and need a place to stop for a meal, this is the place to go.
