Cafe W in Canterbury

Great service very good food and coffee . Didn't try the cakes but look very tempting and service very good even though the staff were busy.

Very pleasant place for coffee and cake. Set upstairs in the bookshop with sofas and chairs to sit at

Uno de mis lugares favoritos para tomar café / té en Canterbury! El personal es siempre encantador y los pasteles son tan buenos. El ambiente es muy frío y es bueno hacer un poco de trabajo allí también.

Personal amable y acogedor, gracias a la encantadora dama que reemplazó mi doble espresso que derramé. Siempre es un placer visitar, la encantadora selección de té y los maravillosos pasteles. Muy recomendable, una visita obligada en Canterbury.

Encontré este lugar accidentalmente. ¡Qué brillante descubrimiento! Deliciosos sándwiches hechos con pan muy fresco muy sano y abundantes rellenos. Teníamos Latte y Americano de cafeína que fue muy disfrutado. Café encantador! Bonito entorno y curiosamente espacioso.

What a thoroughly pleasant visit here today at around midday. The young lady taking orders was so pleasant. Her interaction with customers was exemplary. She had such a lovely smile and manner, she is an absolute credit to the store and deserves recognition. The young man making the coffee was equally lovely. Another customer had a query about the cathedral and the four of us had a really great conversation about it. The lady in front of me was asking about sales and they were fully interactive with her. It was a joy to be there. Thank you!

I look for a Waterstone Cafe when it is time for refreshments. They always offer s good selection, clean environment and pleasant staff. This visit whilst my first to the Canterbury store offered the same level of service and quality. I was tempted by the vegan sandwich and vegan kale cake. They were both lovely and tasty although my family couldn’t be tempted to try a kale cake instead sticking to brownies for the desert.

Great hot drinks, delicious brownies and relaxing atmosphere where you can sit and read. Very enjoyable, will be back again :)

Friendly staff, lovely fresh cake and plenty of room to sit and watch the world go by. A coffee, a tea and a scone each came to £8. Will be back next time we are in Canterbury.

Koffiehoek binnen de boekenwinkel "Waterstones". De koffie is hier prima, ze hebben een redelijke uitzoek aan koeken en cakes. Tafeltjes zijn aan de kleine kant. De toiletten zouden beter kunnen, niet echt schoon te noemen. Is ook niet zo verwonderlijk want deze worden door het winkelend publiek als een soort van openbaar toilet gebruikt. Wel leuk: meestal wel een actie dat wanneer je een bepaald boek (boek van de maand) koopt krijg je een gratis koffie.

Stopped off here for a quick break whilst on a little trip around Canterbury. Coffees and tea were of a very good standard, as was the service, which the two who were behind the counter did well to cope with bearing in mind it was quite busy. We didn't eat, but what food I did see served (lunches, cakes etc) looked inviting. Should I feel the need for a break and drink whilst in Waterstones, I'd definitely return.

Nice relaxing place for a coffee and a cake. On the first floor at Waterstones next to the children's books section, so if you're there with the kids you can sit and have a coffee while the kids look at the books and play on the slide!

13.1.2018.Bought two Ginseng teas,The cups where stained,and when asked for replacement cups ,I was given a less stained cups,When explained allergy's to milk,and ask for cleaner cups,the girl then gave a huff,and the other girl said it's only tea stains,no care for people with allergy's,who wants to drink out of dirty looking cups,the Ginseng tea is lovely and in pot,but wont be going there again,no health and safety standards.The hard seat are school chairs and may look good but very uncomfortable.

My wife and I have been three times in the last week to relax and have a great Americano and a cookie! One can also browse books on the 1st floor of Waterstones. They do some excellent toasted tea cakes and as the coffee is £1.90 - very reasonably priced. I think the BEST coffee place in town at the moment. The only down side or criticism is that they need more staff to clear tables immediatley after clients have left. I do recommend coming here.

Nice & relaxing cafe. The staff are friendly and greet you with a broad smile. Ordered a cup of hot chocolate which was delicious, and a salted caramel brownie which was out of this world. Spent ages just reading in my book and nibbling the brownie. Would definitely come again! :)

This café is really good, the service is great and the food is very tasty! You can look out onto the streets of Canterbury whilst you eat, and you are surrounded by books too - what more could a book lover want? So lovely, would recommend.

If you love to be surrounded by books and sip a coffee in a calm environment then Cafe W is the place for you for any afternoon, rainy or sunny, in Canterbury. It has a pleasant view of town so you still feel the hustle...

The new café on the first floor of Waterstones is so lovely. The customer service is great, I love the fact the baristas are also booksellers so I can talk about books whilst they make my coffee! The coffee itself is really great, the food...

The staff members for the coffee shop are polite and have great service, I would recommend this cafe for people who are looking for a simple coffee shop for a quick drink.

Very relaxed and quaint little cafe. Rustic design fits nicely in with the Waterstones decor. Perfect for a little cup of tea in the afternoon.

This little coffee shop is located on the first floor of Waterstones Book Shop in the centre of Canterbury. The service is good as is the food and coffee. The decor is a little quirky, reminiscent of my schooldays of days long passed. There are...

I was very excited about trying this coffee shop as I enjoy seeing something that is not costa or starbucks etc! The decor is lovely and after moving from next to the very loud escalator we settled into very comfy chairs with our hot chocolates....

We have tried this lovely looking Cafe several times BUT their coffee making routine is sooooo slow. They need a properly trained Barista. The staff are lovely but I only ever hear them apologising. Table numbers might help.

Considerate staff, freshly brewed tea from the leaf, nice coffee and good cakes. Popped in here whilst out in Canterbury to avoid the noisy Christmas band outside costa, will be back. Locally sourced produce at reasonable prices!
