The Larder in Canterbury

We love this place! Best coffee in Whitstable by a mile. And fab food too.

Really nice coffee (flat whites); our best local coffee (stayed in Whitstable for a long weekend). V friendly host, too. Will certainly return when we're next in Whitstable and would definitely recommend.

Warm welcome, cosy venue. Fresh, delicious baguettes. The background music was lovely - Pearl Django, jazzy. Happy lunch date xx

Friendly coffee shop with some delicious food. The kimchi cheese toastie was amazing. Hope to be back soon.

We stopped off here to shelter from the rain whilst on a bike ride and decided to get an early lunch. Great idea and great luck. The food was excellent (I had the grilled cheese and marmite on sourdough) and the coffee perfect. My friend is a VERY fussy flat white fan and he had two! Can’t fault this place - lovely atmosphere, quirky decoration and the woman who served us was super friendly.

Excellent sandwiches and loves cosy feeling inside. They also sell lots of great products

Layed back and friendly atmosphere, nice coffee and delicious cake (Try the orange & almond one).

We spent a wonderful evening at The Larder tasting the new wine list. Always lovely hospitality from Jono and team. Thanks Jonno x

Excellent cheese and onion toastie, the home made piccalilli on the side was wonderful! Spinach and sweet potato pie, also homemade was very tasty, with a lovely side salad. Fantastic coffee to cap it all!

A lovely cafe, it is also a great food and wine shop. I have visited on many occasions. Great coffee, with a good choice of delicious savouries and cakes. Always very welcoming and friendly.

Superb coffee, amazing home made sausage rolls and cakes, sourdough toasties etc,very friendly. Even a treat for the dog !

Excellent grilled sandwich and wonderful BLT (great bacon). Good coffee so can’t fault the place

Staff are friendly and the coffee is lovely; but the food is overpriced, even for Whitstable and the portion size is pathetic. Don't go if you're hungry as you still will be afterwards. Fine for a coffee but would give it a miss otherwise.

Lovely service - followed by delicious coffee and wine!

Superb, always friendly service, great coffee and delicious retail options (esp the crisps and European wines!) - highly recommended, either in summer or winter 👌

Wonderful sandwiches and grilled cheese and great atmosphere! Definitely will come again to try the coffee!

Lovely deli/cafe. Quite pricey but quite nice.

Just had a brew but a nice little place

We try and visit Whitstable at least once a year and are always keen to explore new places to eat - this year, it was The Larder and we had a really lovely experience. This is a very nicely presented café/deli, full of character and style, with the most charming and delightful of hosts. We were greeted very warmly and were lucky to be shown to a table immediately, even though the café was busy. We had a small carafe of the house white wine and we ordered the sourdough toasted sandwiches, one with cheese and ham, one with cheese and kimchi, both absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend The Larder if you are looking for a really tasty, good quality sandwich for brunch or lunch.

One of our favourite spots in Whitstable. Excellent coffee, really tasty toasties (delicious sourdough!), and really welcoming owners and staff. One of those places that deserves to do really well.

Understated but perfect. Good coffee, delicious prawn sandwich and tempting range of deli items

Stopped by for lucnh on a day visit. First time and found delicous food, friendly & welcoming service, clean and a homely atmosphere.

What a Whitstable gem. So welcoming, excellent 👌 coffee and delicious food. Will definitely visit again! Highly recommend.

We are so happy to have found this gem of a shop. We had a few coffees here this week. We’ve been to Whitstable many times and have never found a really good coffee. Each one of our coffee’s were perfectly made, full of flavour and as smooth as velvet to drink. We bought some items off the shelves including the most delicious olives ever. I bought a takeaway lunch one day which was a scrumptious frittata and side salad. The drinks and food sold here are of very high quality. Even just perusing the shelves was a joy. The staff are all friendly and welcoming. They’ve got everything right here. We can’t wait to come back.

Amazing staff, amazing coffee. They also make an actual long black rather than other coffee shops who list a long black and then present an americano! Can't wait to come back....

Nice spot for lunch. The cheese toastie and charcuterie sandwich were both great!

What an amazing little place. Cheese sandwiches were excellent and coffee is best in Whitstable. Atmosphere is excellent and Jono is so much fun

Lovely coffee & friendly owners. Definitely recommend 👍🏼

Small shop front but supplies freshly cooked food with big taste. Whilst walking through the town we saw this modest shop front, which promised a good menu, we were not disappointed. Mozzarella tomato and pesto baguette, I had toasted cheese and ham sandwich, cooked to order and piping how. Some very interesting soft drinks. Well worth a stop and support of locals and tourists alike

Gorgeous little space, beautiful coffee and friendly hosts. Would recommend for sit in, take away lunch and brekkie!

Great coffee and such lovely staff! We had the cheese and ham sandwich too it was fantastic! Would definitely recommend.

This is hands down the best coffee shop in Whitstable. Love their coffee, the sandwiches are amazing and be sure to save some space for cake. I had the gluten free orange and almond cake and it was out of this world. They also sell a variety of products like jams, wines, etc. I was particularly impressed with the Portuguese Ucal chocolate milk that reminded me of my childhood!

AMAZING coffee, great service and tasty sandwiches.

Good assortment of Spanish/French/Italian/Catalan products. Great coffee and delicious pastries.

This place was lovely, the staff were friendly and they are also dog friendly too.

Tasty and very generously sized cheese toastie, lovely people and one of, if not the, tastiest cookies of my life. Chocolatey, chewy, nutty deliciousness. Potentially divorce inducing when you have to share it with your partner.

Superb soups with warm crusty bread. Chocolate cookies are amazing too. Well worth a visit.

Lovely fresh coffee and healthy soft drinks, super friendly staff. Really great deli stuff to buy too.

Great little cafe, homemade soup and crumpets!! We had a few cortado and a nice table, the young man behind the counter was friendly and knowledgeable, and a very hard worker!! We Love this find, Highly recommended!!

Hands down the best flat white I’ve ever tasted.

My mom and I were visiting Whitstable for a day and of all the locations in town to choose from, we ended up at The Larder for a cup of coffee! Best choice we made. :) Cosy atmosphere, friendly and welcoming owner with a passion for the products his sells and of course great coffee!!! We got a Belgian Lotus Biscoff cookie with the coffee which was very funny to us Belgians seeing we eat them every day;) so we decided to go for a cookie of the house and the chocolate/hazelnut one was the perfect match with the coffee. We give The Larder 5 stars (points;))😉👍

Lovely place, lovely people! Coffee delicious and scrumptious bacon baguettes! They also have a deli selection of things to take home. 👍😀

Beautiful shop in Whitstable. Perfect place for a coffee or a glass of wine. Staff are so lovely! Thank you Jono and Emily for always being so welcoming. ❤️

The Larder is another independent jewel that Whitstable is known for. A very friendly and high quality cafe/store. A must are the cakes, with the house special orange and almond cake, wow! Looking around, people were enjoying superb looking dishes.

Wonderful coffee, amazing sandwiches and toasts, and a brilliant deli selection! I had the lunchtime sandwich with locally sourced salmon, a delight! The coffee is always spot on - best in Whitstable

The best coffee in Whitstable! I love an oat milk latte and they deliver! A good size with fantastic coffee of which they pride themselves on. Also a great iced coffee. Delicious sandwiches including a toasted Montgomery cheddar on sourdough which hits the melted cheese spot. Also has a brilliant selection of gourmet deli items. Highly recommend

Love it here! Coffee, wine and service that are excellent. Also so friendly to my doggie. Highly recommended.

Lovely new addition to Whitstable. Cheese and wine galore. Also, the coffee from Old Spike is the best in the area - seriously !

Loved the atmosphere, my toasty was delicious, service was prompt.

Very welcoming, 😍 cheeses and breads were gorgeous and plentiful.. Red wine smooth and extremely drinkable and Nova was made a fuss of too... would definitely recommend for a chilled out break in your potter around Whitstable - whether shopping or dog walking!!

Whilst not providing the usual “fry up etc” sort of breakfast (plenty of other places to go for that!), The pantry serves its food with panache and attention to detail. Croissants and coffee are on the menu but also is the most amazing, toasted cheese and onion sandwich using fresh sourdough bread. Sounds easy, but once you have tried one of these, anything else is just a poor imitation of a thing called a sandwich. Coffee was fresh and a good blend, obviously chosen with care. Good selection of other foodstuffs to buy, enjoy perusing them, whilst waiting for your sandwich, you won’t be disappointed, Unless of course your taste buds are shot away, if so stick to the fry up! You will note that I tend to only review good places, that is because I want them to survive, I just do not go back to anywhere that is not good. Hence I am only too pleased to let others know about this "find".

Wonderful artisan coffee shop - for those who appreciate high quality independent coffee

The Larder Whitstable cafe/deli offers the warmest welcome together with top quality service, great products and seriously tasty food. We opted for a toasted cheese sandwich with a slightly spicy chutney. Crispy oozy with cheese and lifted to another level by a spicy chutney. The tea and iced coffee were exemplary, however the star of the show was an amazing orange and almond cake, moist yet light and totally delicious. The deli also had some wonderful products, we talked with owner about a Jordanian and a Greek olive oil and could not decide. To out delight we were offered a sample of the Jordon olive oil to try. It was peppery and slightly spicy, delicious and one to take home! Clearly the Larder cares about its Ingredients and their province well worth a visit five stars!!

A great new coffee shop serving Old Spike coffee (a South East London fave!). Perfect place to start the day with a decent coffee & delicious pastry. Nice addition to the neighbourhood - Looking forward to returning soon on my next visit to Whitstable x

Brilliant coffee, great service. Thankyou!!

Very welcoming. Lovely interiors. The selection is focussed, high quality and priced accordingly. Definitely a good place for an occasional treat.

Good wine - unique and interesting selection. Excellent coffee. Love their toasties and beach hampers. Dog friendly.

Good coffee, nice pastries. Great range of premium larder/pantry foods. Vibey. A nice place to read the FT weekend after ParkRun.
