We’ve visited a few times. It’s been fine for drinks, if slightly slow service. Made a mistake ordering food there recently though, the bread was totally dry - a smidge of mustard on one side and nothing on the other (no spread, mayo etc) a Cuban should be a great sandwich, it really wasn’t worth the money.

It's one of my favourite cafés in Canterbury. The staff are friendly and the food and drinks are good. Its a great place to relax and watch the world go by. It's a lovely venue to meet friends or make new friends too. So I suggest you check it out if you are in Canterbury.

If I could I'd give 3.5 pr 3.75 stars. I had a hot chocolate which looked great, but tasted mostly syrupy and less like a creamy hot chocolate. The service is solid and the location is great. The vibe of the place seems chill and inviting with plenty of light. I'm sure this place is much busier, louder with longer waits in the summer months. That may be good or bad depending on what you're looking for. All in all, I'd certainly recommend a stop in, atleast to try the hot chocolate on a cold day like I did.

We've been to this café several times, and each time, without fail, we are not greeted and are completely ignored for an extended period of time. We went in today, they had two tables (so not very busy), and instead of serving us, two members of staff decided to clear one table together, reorganise coffee cups behind the bar and generally do anything that isn't acknowledging us. It's a shame because the food is tasty, albeit a little costly. i genuinely dont understand why they ignore guests, its not needed and just a waste of time for us and of money for them

I’ve been a few times over the years and have always loved it, however today it was an awfully slow and disappointing experience. After sitting outside for 20 minutes waiting for their ‘table service’ - I went to order. The dessert side of the menu has dramatically reduced over the last year with options available … removing items such as their pot of indulgent melted chocolate - which when asked if this possible to order was met with a very reluctant response to check with a manager so I ordered a chocolate crepe instead (big mistake) along with chocolate coated strawberries asking for the melted chocolate to be on the side - which they offer on the menu with a Diet Coke and flat white. After waiting around 10 mins our drinks arrived along with the strawberry’s with the melted chocolate over them - error one and then having to wait a further 30 minutes for the crepe to arrive after asking twice how long it would be - error 2. The young gentleman who brought this out did apologise for the wait and for his second day he was really polite and friendly. The crepe really wasn’t that nice - very bland even with the chocolate but the strawberries were lovely as always. I understand they may have been busy but at least indicate to customers how long they may be waiting before ordering - it’s not exactly a three course dinner request.

The atmosphere felt chaotic, from the mishmash of styles in furniture and overall leyout; to the kafufle that was the staff shouting over each other (talking and arguing about boyfriends and gym etc...) and the sound of someone smacking the expresso holder against the bin. On top of that the food took absolute ages, after we took our order, one of the members of staff requested for a sandwich and took priority over our order. The staff seems friendly but that's about it.

Popped in today to kill some time. On entry was told it’s table service so found a table upstairs (only available one downstairs was in front of a broken window with a hole in it). 10 minutes later no sign of any staff so I went downstairs and placed our order. Staff seemed more interested in chatting to each other than serving customers; I felt guilty interrupting them. Back upstairs & 10 minutes later still no sign of anyone. After 20 minutes drinks finally arrived by which time we had to leave. Took drinks as takeaways: for 2 takeaway hot drinks we were charged £9. Hopeless.

The chocolate cocktail was lovely It was the toilets that are off putting with loose toilet seat, hardly any toilet paper and no spare rolls. Water or urine on toilet floor and due to the old building the toilet floor is slanted which seems difficult to balance on while trying to arrange my clothes, However I can’t fault the cocktails

This was the last day of my freedom (being the end of half term) I started the morning with a bit of stress and tears having an MRI at a nearby hospital. The staff there were excellent, it was just the pain. I needed a bit of spoiling-me time. After chatting to the lady in the nearby toy shop - where I purchased 6 adorable, cuddling birdies for my next book launch - she suggested this place for a cuppa. I ordered the cuppa. Fantastic. I decent sized pot of tea, not your silly dolly-sized one I get in the chain stores - and have to order two pots! But, a lovely china one. Got three cups of tea out of it easily. I'd already decided not to have much for lunch as I was out this evening for a Valentine banquet. (check out my subsequent review for that in the next few days. ) I saw soup on the menu and when I discovered it was Butternut Squash, jumped at it. I expected Covent Garden or some such, but this was so much better. Someone knows their soups. This was thick and heavenly. It had received an infusion with some lovely spices from someone who also knows their spices too. It came with thick doorstep bread slices and I wolfed it back. Scrummy. The place was short on people with only two working. They still managed to stay pleasant, smiley and helpful under stress. Great staff. I will be heading this way again next time I'm in town.

Imogen and her team at Eleto, Canterbury helped me propose to my partner in a very special city. My fiancé and I studied at Canterbury so we have special memories of our times as students. I frequently visited Eleto to study and relax during my years as a student at UKC. Therefore it was fitting to return to mark this special moment in our journey. Imogen and her team helped me plan my proposal by reserving us a quiet space in the upper floor of the case. The staff masterfully prepared a 'will you marry me' message with chocolate and strawberries on a plate. They also patiently recorded the moment i popped the question for me and took more photographs of our special moment. The service was faultless and they went above and beyond was i expected. We were not even charged for the dessert we ate to celebrate the special moment as we were told it was on the house! My fiancé and I thank Imogen and her team at Eleto for a memory that we will have forever. Thank you.

Long wait for our order to be taken, cakes arrived after a significant wait but the drinks didn’t arrive until a good 10 minutes after that. My cake was dry and tasteless, I couldn’t finish it as it was obviously old and seemed past its use by date. The next day I was ill with a bad stomach, I drew my own conclusions. I would say avoid this place, there are much better places to go.

A mixed bag. Coffees and milkshakes were great, the service was very good. However the crepes were poor. No way they were made fresh and we recon they either batch make in the morning or just use ready made. Pretty doughy and dry. Reminded me of the pre-made breakfast crepes we used to get the kids from Sainsbury. Really disappointed as we used to love this place. I’d also say it’s looking so tired now. Its moved beyond the charm of Harry Potteresque shabby chic to something generally just grubby.

Overpriced, bad drinks, not accommodating. The cafe looks really inviting and you’d presume it would be good service with nice drinks. We ordered luxury hot chocolates which were £5! The cup half empty and the majority of it was cream. The marshmallows were missing, there were lumps of chocolate at the bottom, it was just tepid milk. The staff behind the bar were not accommodating and unfriendly. Also, the waitresses were nice but seemed stressed and overwhelmed. No tables were clear or clean so we had to takeaway instead. Wouldn’t recommend.

Terrible service, unclean and needs a refurb. This is the second time I have visited the cafe (the other before lockdown nd was lovely) and it has gone dramatically downhill. After being told to pick my own table and grab a menu we sat for a good 15mins (it was not busy) without seeing a single server come upstairs - so I went down to attempt to order at the till to which was told to go back and take a seat and he would send someone up. 10 mins later still nobody and surrounded by tables with dirty dishes. We moved downstairs to an empty table thinking we would might have a better chance - nope still nothing and it was then we noticed the supposed display chill cabinet - smears and dirt all over the glass and the bottom full of empty wrappers. At this point we decided to get up and leave. We wont be returning - a shame as they did do very nice hot chocolates. The decor is tired, broken light fixtures, bare wires and has a rather grubby feel.

Prices are very good at this location, but this comes at a cost. Service could be improved. For example, we ordered Strawberries covered with Chocolate; it was clear we were going to share this plate. Unfortunately it arrived with 1 small fork and no napkins were provided either (we couldn’t ask for any either as we were sitting upstairs and staff do not exist up there). Drinks were okay, but Frappe was a bit disappointing. Toilets unfortunately during that day were extremely dirty and were out of toilet roll.

Review of Pret-a-Manger, Canterbury Having frequented Pret-a-Manger for over 25 years, it has always been one of my go-to spots in England. However, my recent visit to the Pret-a-Manger on The Parade in Canterbury was shockingly disappointing. For the first time, I encountered staff who were not just loud but actively disruptive. Instead of the usual friendly service, they were teasing customers and shouting to one another, creating an atmosphere that felt more like a chaotic playground than a welcoming café. This unacceptable behavior not only undermines the brand's reputation but also detracts from the enjoyable experience I’ve come to expect from Pret. I hope this incident is taken seriously by management, as it tarnishes what should be a pleasant dining environment. If this behavior continues, I may have to reconsider my loyalty to a chain that has long held a special place in my heart. Finally , given some of the negative reviews, it seems that the quality of this Pret-a-Manger is getting worse rather than better. I really hope the management takes action to address these issues and restore the welcoming atmosphere that has always been a hallmark of the brand.
