Blueprint Coffee in Canterbury

The coffee served here is absolutely fantastic. I'm always met with friendly and knowledgeable staff that know how to make a decent cup of coffee. I highly recommend a visit.

Absolutely delicious coffee, roasted on site, served in a full range of styles. Wonderful, welcoming staff. Beautiful books and stationery. Great atmosphere. Love it!

Tiny menu, very disappointing basically just espresso. Nice selection of cakes and staff are lovely, but the menu was poor at best. Decided on a hot chocolate which didn't taste great and was in a small mug. Not a memorable experience, would not recommend.

This place makes the best cup of coffee in Whitstable. The cakes are not bad too. We will definitely be coming back

The perfect coffee stop to give your mid morning walk the kick it needs. Wonderful staff, tasty coffee and the perfect cinnamon bun (amongst other things!) to accompany it! It's also a bookshop, so you can have a peruse once you've finished your coffee. We'll be back tomorrow!

We popped into this cafe 3 times during our week stay in Whitstable. Instantly loved the simple yet cosy cafe. Tried the iced latte, drip coffee, flat white and cacoa & lavender shortcake. Coffee's were smooth and velvety. Lovely selection of cakes too. Service was excellent, very knowledgeable baristas. Look forward to coming back and highly recommend.

I can't think of anything more I would want from a coffee shop. The staff are so cool and friendly, the coffee and cakes are great and they have a great selection of inspiring books

Just amazing brew to settle your inner craving- V60 Columbian It’s a drug. Head up to your business after you enjoy a grub and your fuel ☕️

Popped in walking past, lovely kind friendly staff very keen to help in a non pressure way. Look forward to coming back!

Beautiful coffee, elegant space. Curated book collection exactly what I would have chosen. I would be there every morning if I didn't live so far away. Highly recommend.

We called in to look at the books and have tea and coffee. The flat white coffee was wonderful. The texture, the flavour, the temperature, the presentation were all a delight. We sat down to have our drinks and decide which coffee beans to buy and which books to choose from their minimal but carefully chosen selection, some with an art theme, some for children of different ages, all beautifully presented and within sight of the table. Unfortunately it turned out that we weren’t supposed to be sitting at the table so, once we were spotted, we were very politely and inoffensively asked to leave. Our granddaughter missed out on her books, and me on my coffee beans, but I was very happy with my flat white.

Simply wonderful coffee. I bought some of their beans to enjoy at home too. Highly recommend this place for anyone who likes good coffee.

I go to Blueprint Coffee whenever i'm in the area because they KNOW coffee - How to roast and deliver excellent Espresso's - Flat Whites - what ever you require they deliver every time. The cakes complement perfectly and I'm looking forward to things getting back to normal so I can relax and enjoy the vibe they've created in this jewel of a place!

Fantastic coffee from this independent coffee shop in Whitstable. Not open daily so check times and don’t miss it! On-site bean roaster, these guys know how to make a good cup of coffee. A great place to buy a well chosen book, too. The food also looked great, but we didn’t sample. When covid restriction ease, this will be a perfect place to enjoy indoors - but the benches outside were fine!

From the other side of the street I was drawn into Blueprint by an unmistakable smell of real coffee...like one smells in Italy. A little jewel of a spartan yet sumptuous bookshop. The double espresso and chocolate brownie were similarly contrasting...both minimalist and decadent!

We noticed this coffee shop whilst perusing the High Street in Whitstable and decided to go there just based on the stylish front of the shop! Unfortunately, I can only drink decaffeinated coffee and so I am always interested to try what independent shops have to offer in that department. I was not disappointed at Blueprint coffee; in fact their decaffeinated coffee is EXTREMELY excellent and the taste was outstanding - I didn’t feel deprived for having to have decaf over caffeinated coffee as I do in so many shops that cannot deliver good tasting decaffeinated coffee. My coffee was perfectly poured and not only tasted amazing but was also beautiful to look at. The ambience in the shop is perfect, minimal, stylish and atmospheric. Our visit to this coffee shop made the perfect end to a day in Whitstable.

Was after a coffee and heard Blueprint was great and I wasn’t disappointed. Our server clearly knew what he was doing and it resulted in a beautifully well-made and delicious oat milk flat white. The server recommended which milk to have and the espresso itself was lovely. Couldn’t recommend higher

Such a pretty shop- great coffee. Glad I stopped in. The barista was friendly and attentive. The items on display were appealing.

Lovely coffee but overpriced for the amount you get. Great for the environment as all cups are from vegware.

As four Australians, we are very particular about our coffee! The team at Blueprint Coffee certainly know how to brew the perfect flat white! A great bean, beautifully roasted and then crafted into the smoothest, most delicious flat white I’ve had in a long time! I’d happily drive the 70miles from my house to Blueprint for another flat white any day of the week!

Super tasting coffee and we went for the black cherry marzipan vegan cake which was even better! Nice relaxed ambiance - highly recommended if you like good coffee (and cake).

Delicious coffee - presented on a small tray with mini milk bottle and glass of water - very cute. Best coffee I’ve had in a while!

Love the coffee. Love their love of coffee, and knowledge of the beverage. Coffee made with care and love.

We stopped here for a caffeine boost. We ordered an Americano and Cappuccino which were served in small cups with an additional glass of water. The quality of the coffee was excellent and very enjoyable. However, it is a shame the premises are rather small!

What can I say. Very tasty coffee and welcoming friendly staff. The cafe itself is cozy and makes you want to sit down and stay for a while to relax. You can buy coffe beans and accessories there too. Recommended.

Freshly grounded, aromatic and delicious coffee, excellent service and shelves full of books. Can you ask for more? 🙂

After Waterlane changed hands, Canterbury’s coffee quality plummeted. I live nowhere near Whitstable but when I need a decent “third wave” coffee, I know that Blueprint is basically the only place left. I love chatting with the friendly staff, in particular the main man, who is hilarious. The kouign amann is something else, too. Big ups Blueprint and Orchard Land for making the only coffee I won’t pour away.

Had been into Blueprint a few times before and enjoyed sitting in the window, one of the staff was so RUDE to me. After being told the last time rather rudely to help myself to water, the man SHOUTED at my friends and I not to take a glass for water from the top of the machine. Go TO Garage across the road for lovely service and great coffee.

Recommended by a friend who proved to be right! Nice interior and knowledgeable staff. Located on main street.

Great coffee & nibbles. Quite small so tables are often full but the coffee is really good. Nice selection of books available to buy.

Fantastic little place.Very pleasant staff.Incredible coffee and top notch pastries.Purchased some beans to take home.One of the best espressos ever!

Cute little place on the highstreet. Great coffee, great cake. Seal of approval from this coffee snob.

I have been here several times now and the coffee is excellent. The shop is small but clean and the staff are always friendly and attentive. It's a bit more expensive than some other places but worth it for the quality of the coffee. This is now my go to place for coffee when friends visit me in Whitstable.

This is our FAVOURITE coffee shop!

After reading the reviews, I had great expectations of this coffee shop. The coffee is good but overpriced, and the venue is very small. Considering that it's also known as a bookshop I was expecting a bit more on the book side, or even seating-wise, but I was left disappointed. Either way, it's close to the train station so easily the first place to stop for a coffee after getting off the train

Friendly staff, good vibe and really great coffee. In here most days to get my morning cappuccino fix.

Nicely served drinks by friendly staff . Has decaf, as well as normal . Nice atmosphere . Coffee experts all liked the espresso !

Well situated at the end of the high street. Cute coffee shop with a couple of seats. Good books and coffees on sale too. We will be back for the coffee and hopefully we will get a smile back this time...

5* from us. Lovely atmosphere, friendly and welcoming staff and great drinks and food (coffee & pain au raisin, tea & brownie, apple juice & brownie and a babychino)

Just towards the end of the high street this small place was quite cute and the Cappuccino was superb! Creamy and packed with flavour which left a lingering flavour of fruitiness on our palates. One of the best we have had for some time. The banana cake was yummy too! Quite arty and minimalist interior. If I want to be really picky (and this often happens in other cafes too) the cappuccino could had been hotter

Lovely premises, small selection but lovely cakes and really cool books and comics on sale. They VERY nicely declined to give me milk with a particular coffee but really nicely suggested better alternative. So nice to see vendors sticking to principles and being nice & helpful while doing it......fantastic coffee btw

I pop into Blueprint Coffee several times a week so what I really want to write, selfishly, is that the coffee's dreadful and the staff are miserable. However, that's only because I don't really want everyone to know it serves the best coffee I've had in the UK and because their only drawback is being housed in modestly sized premises. However, as others have already let the cat out of the bag, I'm forced to agree that the coffee's outstanding, the cakes a cut above average and the staff always helpful and friendly. Great bookish ambience too. Now I expect you'll all be going there. Sigh.

A quick pop in and a very pleasant surprise. Having half an hour to kill I popped in and ordered an Americano. Well presented and good customer service. Will be back.

I love coffee and like visiting independent cafes..this place is quirky and the espresso was nice and strong. Wish service was with a smile though.

This is by far the best coffee house in Whitstable. They use top quality coffee beans and Bonsoy soya, not the cheap soya used by other more well known coffee houses. More to the point there's no extra charge. Its a small and intimate shop but once used you won't go any where else. The coffee arrives on a small tea tray together with a glass of water. Can't rave about it enough, we always go here and no where else now.

Having visited and enjoyed Whitstable many times, I had despaired of ever having a decent coffee until we stumbled on Blueprint.

Great coffee, considerate staff, a clear group of "regulars" that make for a nice atmosphere where the staff and customers have a pleasant and genuine relationship.

Our first stop when we travel from London to Whitstable is Blueprint. If you're interested in coffee it's the only place in town. Perfect, perfect Cortado 🌼 Small, clean, relaxed, very friendly staff... thanks guys

Popped in while pootling round Whitstable and had a very good soya flat white. Great coffee, just a shame they don't roast their own...

This is not a mass production coffee chain cafe. This is real coffee. I was very impressed with their espresso. Excellent!

Great little independent coffee shop. I was going to leave my dog outside but one of the baristas informed me that the place is dog-friendly, which is so helpful! I only wanted a quick takeaway so left with one of the best flat whites I've ever had and a very nice slice of banana cake. Will defiantly return in the future.

Great service, so friendly and helpful. Even recommended other places to eat. Quick service and great coffee. The fruit tea was amazing. Can recommend the cardamom buns!

Lovely little place with a great view of the high street. Very accommodating, even if you just need tap water.

Popped in here on a chilly winter day trip to Whitstable - my partner and I are big coffee fans so always scout out the best local places- this did not disappoint. Great coffee, good selection of cakes etc and a decent stock of coffee paraphernalia (books, V60 brewing kits etc) too. Would definitely return

Lovely little trendy cafe...great size cortado. Ozone coffee roasters. Variable retail - books,chocolates, coffee logs and many more.

Lovely little coffee shop a little walk up the high street

The only place in Whitstable where the coffee is absolutely delicious 😋 The milk is not over heated and the coffee smooth and full of flavour. Unmissable.

We stopped here for coffee and a cake after reading great reviews. Style over substance unfortunately. Very trendy decor and interesting books to peruse and purchase but few seats. Our server was efficient but so lacking in cheerfulness, or even a smile, as to feel rude. We felt we were interrupting some other more entertaining activity, breaking into her day to place an order. The coffee was beautifully presented but lukewarm and the banana bread was small but priced at £2.50! Won't bother to return.

Great coffee nice and strong and great cake .Excellent shop highly recommended really enjoyed my visit here .

Really cute little cafe just a short wall from the seafront. Busy with families and couples. The tart I had was really yummy and my flat white was made very well and served on a cute little tray with some complimentary water.

This place has a great atmosphere with the best artisan coffee and lovely cakes and pastries. Excellent interior with books and coffee produce for sale, it's definitely a favourite!

These guys KNOW coffee. They do it right first time, every time. Great place and great books for browsing.

So hard to find a place where the milk is not burned and boiling. One of the best places in Kent to have a proper coffee.

Best coffee (and coffee selection) I had in the east coast trip I've recently done. Highly recommended

We are critical Dutch coffee lovers and we loved the coffee here. Friendly staff and certainly not too expensive! Beats Costa or Starbucks, certainly for Americano/black coffee!

I just popped into blueprint for a takeaway cappuccino. The guy serving was friendly and he made me a great coffee. I enjoyed the music playing in the short time I was there and I was very impressed that the takeaway cup and optional lid were both made by a company producing compostable packaging.

I do like tea but am more of a coffee drinker these days. So are most of my family. Which means we were delighted to find this place in the centre of the high street.

The quality of the drinks here is amazing - competing with some of the best coffee shops in the country. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is very relaxed. This is the perfect place to get your caffeine fix! Great pastries and some interesting books are also on offer.

They were grinding Ozone when we visited, very nice espresso blend, and also had Monmouth for sale. Nice range of pastries but no bigger plates. Very convenient for Middle Wall car park and a walk down to the sea.

great friendly little café and bookshop...proper coffee...very much favoured by writers and literary buffs...have met some cool people here ...such fun and awesome choc brownies..took some home to hubby...we like!!...will be buying more of the rare books...love it here

plenty of coffee shops in whitstable, but this is my new favourite. monmouth beans and lovely pastries, great !

Lovely cappuccino, friendly staff and a great place to watch how inconsiderate some drivers are. The cakes, pastries and other food available looked tempting, but I have strong willpower and a fitbit that says that I didn't deserve a treat 😢

After 3 days stranded on the Isle of Thanet, we were desperate for a decent espresso. Having walked the length of the High Street and about to give up, we found Blueprint Coffee.

Coffee does not get better than this. Owners and staff are friendly, the cafe is simply and beautifully designed. The bakery goods are delicious.

This is the place in Whitstable to go for great coffee. Excellent flavour, we'll presented (inc. a glass of water), perfect temperature. A piece of very, very good galette Bretton went down well, also has an interesting range of other imaginative cakes/treats on offer. Very limited space but bar stool table in windows seems an ideal spot to watch Whitstable in action. Don't miss

Great coffee, beautiful interior, helpful and pleasant owners/staff. Coffee they use is Ozone a great roasting firm in Old Street, really good taste.

Wake up and smell the coffee they say well the Blueprint here is smell the coffee and wake up.

Very friendly here and with a perfect cup of coffee I would highly recommend this place. Lots of Scandinavian themed books and the Blueprint canvas bag I bought there is excellent quality.

We stopped here for morning coffee and cake after a walk on the beach. A lovely little coffee shop serving amazing coffee - the best flat white. A proper coffee shop where each drink is carefully crafted - not rushed! We had a nice large table in the middle and the staff were happy to have the dogs inside. We tried to return after lunch for another coffee and cake but unfortunately you had closed. We will just have to come back to Whitstable another time!

Everything is right. Coffee, environment, pastries, vibe, staff, price. Lovely touches. Great place. Always a really chilled place for a morning coffee with pals, a must visit

We came across this place when stopping in Whitstable for lunch and to visit the wool shop opposite. It has not been open very long, but is very well appointed inside - and most importantly they serve a faultless flat white coffee.
