Lost Sheep Coffee and Kitchen in Canterbury

Very good food.Very nice beverages. Friendly service. Reasonable prices .Pleasant atmosphere. Would highly recommend to friends. Looking forward to our next visit .

Dan the manager was so friendly and welcoming, even whilst coping single handedly on a busy afternoon. Lovely drinks and can highly recommend the coffee and walnut cake - delicious! Definitely worth a visit.

This is for the coffee pod by canterbury bus station. Lovely friendly staff. Some I've got to know over a few years. Can earn points via email and they DON'T email you! Purely for points ONLY. So grab a free coffee after a while. Best coffee in town.

This is no joke. Best homemade croissant this side of the English Channel!!! And wonderful team Thank you guys, we’ll be back!!

I was with a walking group of about 14 people when we descended on the Lost Sheep in Canterbury half an hour before it closed. My coffee delicious, but what made it very special was that the smiling young lady, who was on her own, was calm and efficient throughout. While she juggled our large order along with others who had wandered in, she brought our orders to the table. Not one mistake and cheerful throughout. So, if this was you working on 22 August at 4.30, thank you for such excellent service and a perfect coffee.

Nipped in to get coffee and snacks for kids just as they were closing on a Sunday. Very helpful staff offered directions for us out-of-towners to a lovely place to go and enjoy them in the sun by the river.

We stopped in for tea and cakes trying to avoid some of the big chains and out for an independent cafe. I wish we hadn’t. The brownies was really dry and the cookie cake was overly sweet. They also had no hot food available at 3pm on a weekday. 2 teas and 4 cakes cost us a whopping £22. A definite tourist trap and we should have been warned bye the fact it was empty when others were completely full. There was a hoover lying out in the cafe and yet it obviously hasn’t been used as there was dirt and dust everywhere. We won’t be returning!!

Visited here as I used to love the Ashford outlet one.. It just didn’t feel the same.. dry looking cake on sale.. didn’t fancy anything on the menu so had toast (was nice). Staff were friendly but didn’t have the same clean look as the Ashford one.

Polite and kind staff. I ordered a flat white and an orange meringue to try some different! It was definitely worth trying something new as I adored the meringue. Thank you for a lovely experience.

On the positive side the staff were nice and the coffee (when it eventually turned up) was enjoyable - although the cake (while a generous size) was over-sweet. But being told when you first arrive that: 'no hot food will be available for 30 minutes' is a definite turn-off. Plus the menu itself is very limited. And then there is the 'swinging cow door' between the kitchen and the dining room that frequently loudly clatters to and fro as the staff move between the two rooms - most distracting and annoying if you are close to it. This is in about the best 'tourist trap' location possible, but perhaps that's why the establishment doesn't try too hard.

A very overpriced small black coffee with hardly any taste whatsoever. How can you warrant £3.10 for a very sub standard drink, and to cap it all only card payment.

Lovely staff. Good service. Nice vibe. Good coffee. Fair price. However, I do feel a business called Lost Sheep literally next to the cathedral could have something going for the homeless here. I'm not talking soup kitchen, but maybe a contribution to Porchlight? Collection box for Catching Lives? Also, somewhat offputting was the 'story of Lost Sheep' on the wall which was so overblown. I got the whole timeline from where they travelled to backpacking, to how the coffee came from Australia. It seemed pretentious. Mate, I just want a coffee, not to be initiated in your brand's miraculous journey through time...

Very busy, next to Cathedral on graduation and short of staff, but still very friendly and efficient service. Really recommend it. MegsD

Excellent service, very kind staff. Food was lovely, hot, fresh and tasty. Coffee cake was perfect end to the meal.

My daughter and I hoped to grab some lunch while in town so we popped in to the Canterbury branch. The menu is rather limited with all options containing bread/toast/muffin with hash being the only non-bread alternative. ZERO flexibility and no alternatives for customers trying to avoid/lower the consumption of carbohydrates. Consequently, we opted for coffee which was nice but that`s about it. I won`t comment on the interior and exterior decor as the scaffolding (although not appealing) is not exactly the owners` fault (in fact, we chose to visit the place as feeling sorry for the owners). When my card was declined (my fault as being new to the bank app and merchant settings), once again the staff showed zero flexibility and refused to accept cash (even when I offered to pay almost double (not requesting the change). Huge stress as I tried to connect to my bank app (poor reception is another issue) and ultimately reset the preferences.

The service was amazing, the coffee made perfectly, and the breakfast we ordered was so delicious. Can’t believe I haven’t been here before. Our waiter was so helpful and also really looked after our dog too! What else can you ask for!

Visited this coffee house today and ordered two Capachino's. They took over 20 minutes to arrive, the place wasn't even busy. When they did arrive, they were cold! Not very good considering there was 3 staff, they also cost £3.20 each. Won't be going back there again in a hurry. 0/10.

We were seated immediately, and the waitress was friendly, really pleasant. It did take a while for anyone to take our order, but when the waiter came to take our order he was also friendly, and advised us on the cheapest way to order what we wanted. The coffees arrived quickly, the mocha and flat white were hot and tasty. It did again take a little bit of time for the pot of tea to arrive, it seemed to have been missed off the order, despite it being ordered as an afternoon tea. Although, one of our party did confuse matters, so we won’t hold it against them!! Wonderful scones, if a tiny bit on the small side, more than enough jam and cream. They were well worth the cost!! Highly recommend, but not if you’re in a hurry. There was also the most gorgeous dog there, but I cannot guarantee that for every visit 😂

The girl with blue hair was really lovely and kind- great customer service. Amazing coffe and welcoming staff would definitely recommend going their

A quick pit stop to refuel before heading off to explore the Cathedral. Helpful staff - the young lady with the blue hair - very friendly and polite. Will be back!

Great coffee that they roast themselves locally in Whitstable and some really delicious pastries and snacks. They’re always very accommodating of our kids too.

We both avo and egg on toast. It was cold and flavourless. The milk jug was dirty and when i asked for it to be changed it was replaced with another dirty one. Staff were very pleasant but we need cleanliness and flavour too please.

The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed. However, the avocado toast was overpriced, bland and tasteless, overpriced and the toast was limp, cold and pale; barely toasted. The eggs were well-poached with a runny yolk, which was nice. The tea provided was not...

We went here earlier today and although we only had a couple of cups of tea the service couldnt be faulted. The staff were all pleasant. The cafe is clean and dog friendly.

Hey visited the store in Canterbury after a long walk around the cathedral. We came across Lost Sheep coffee! Having an Aussie partner is someone who really cares about coffee! What can I say ‘amazing coffee’ one of the best coffees we have ever had...

Pop into Lost sheep coffee and Kitchen in Canterbury what a great coffee shop staff were very helpful and the coffee amazing will definitely be back

Best Coffee in Canterbury, staff are so friendly and the decor is really nice and fresh. Love passing the cathedral drinking a lost sheep coffee in the mornings.

Been her before and enjoyed the experience. Had a Latte amazing as usual and a toasted sandwich, very nice indeed. The place was packed but food was quick.

Popped in today on my lunch break around midday as I’ve walked past before and thought it looked really nice. I was served by a gentleman who didn’t seem the friendliest when serving and the coffee was underwhelming.

Great coffee if you can get served what you asked for!! I am a big fan of Lost Sheep Coffee and since having discovered it when we stopped in the coffee shop next to Canterbury Cathedral, a few years ago. I regularly buy the pods...

The lost sheep cafe is a stone's throw from the Christ Church entrance to Canterbury Cathedral on the left hand side. It is bright and warm with friendly staff and excellent food. I had a toasted cheese and ham sandwich on sourdough bread, which together...

Frequent visitor here thanks to the amazing white hot chocolate and toasties they do!😍 love the atmosphere and the staff and service is absolutely exceptional always you could not possibly fault it.

Brilliant atmosphere, fantastic decor! And the staff and service was just effortless. Nothing was to much and the manager I believe her name was Alex, went above and beyond to ensure that our time was nothing but perfection. My friend loved the Lemon drizzle cake,...

Firstly thank you Lost Sheep, your coffee is always my go to place, working in Canterbury you are swamped by the amount of so called “coffee places” but Lost Sheep has it dialed in! They have such knowledgeable staff that I always feel the need...

Went with my partner over the weekend. Amazing coffee and the service was quick, efficient and very personable. Great selection of cakes. Absolutely Yummy. Can highly recommend and can’t wait to return next week :)

We had great friendly service. And the best coffee and toasties in a cute location! Definitely recommend.

Called in for a toastie advertised on board outside cafe. Waited 15 minutes for like warm coffe and cappuccino. Cappuccino had what I thought to be bits of chocolate on top - turned out to be stray very bitter coffee granules. Not worth dinking. The...

Had a lovely brunch in here today. Beautiful venue, brilliant cake selection and eggs cooked to perfection! Came in with my niece and nephew and nothing was too much trouble for the girls on shift. We will be back and recommending to others! Keep up...

Coffee was tasty enough but speed of service was rather slow. Only one girl wandering round with a tablet taking orders. One making coffee, one taking the coffee out and the other ...?

You know how sometimes a latte just doesn’t taste right? Well not at The Lost Sheep Cafe! My latte was delicious! And the young lady behind the counter was so friendly! I highly recommend…

Came across this lovely cafe on a day trip out to Canterbury, just round the corner to the Cathedral. The variety of cakes was very scrummy 😋, but we had pancakes and granola, presented beautifully were and so delicious. Very pleasant polite staff, thank you...

This is a lovely place to visit for coffee, brunch, snacks etc - the coffee is outstanding and the whole atmosphere is cool and laid back. But the best thing about this place is the staff - the waitresses are so friendly and helpful, nothing...

Nice little coffee house near the cathedral. Charming, if nervous, service. Good selection of cakes. Nice coffee

Really enjoyed my brunch and latte in the shop, nice to see Lost Sheep have a real shop now in Canterbruy. I Would revisit for sure and found the staff pleasant and fast.

Amazing coffee in the centre of Canterbury and the food was great! Love the Goonie toastie! Going to get the pancakes next time!!!

I have had a mixed experience here. I came in for a short flat white which was delicious. I then came back with my wife for food. We took a seat but found the menu a bit restrictive. We saw some of the food come...

Terrible. -Dirty cutlery (I had to polish my own knife, fork and coffee spoon). Sadly, when I thought about writing this review, I had already polished said knife and fork. -Overpriced food (which, when it arrived, it appeared to be something I didn’t order). -Coffee...

Great snack stop. Friendly service, my 5 year old son and I shared a toasty and had a hot drink each. Cakes looked yummy, good location, just down from the cathedral.

The coffee was really good. Roasting your own beans certainly works! We also had food. The cutlery was dirty. When we showed it to a staff member the reposnse was "sometimes it comes out of the dishwasher like that". What! So it's not the first...

Having loved Lost Sheep's coffee and booth by the bus station for years, I was glad to learn that they had opened a bigger cafe in the city centre! The staff are very friendly, the coffee is great of course, and there's a great selection...
