The Veg Box Cafe in Canterbury

The food taste very nice and what I really like about this place that it have a lot of vegan options as compared to other branded chains. The staff is really helpful. Great atmosphere overall.

Such a gem in Canterbury. We love the food its healthy and delicious! Nowhere else like it!

The best vegan food in canterbury - sweet and savoury

One of the best places in Canterbury, food is healthy and delicious, very wholesome place.

Full vegan restaurant with high quality food, very close to the cathedral wall entrance.

A cozy place with delicious food and super friendly staff! Definitely recommend 👌

I had the Farinata with full salad, which was delicious. It was the perfect amount of food, healthy and varied. You get to choose 3 toppings from their fermented selection. Really good spot for a quick bite.

Great find! Delicious, local, organic, plant based food. The place was heaving! Really popular & great buzz. Service was friendly & so much variety of foods to choose from! I had the farinata with salad as you can see in the pic!

Amazing restaurant for lunch. Large portions, seasonal tasty homemade food and it's all healthy.

The food was good and the different options were very interesting and original

relaxing environment with helpful staff

Great experience! Recommended for vegetarians and vegans.

Just had the vegan lasagna which came with all the salada and I just couldn’t decide what tasted better! Delicious and a very generous portion.

Very friendly staff and delicious food

Very friendly. Great options. Fresh food and delicious.

3/5. The "pear&raspberry organic juice" turned out to be "apple and summer berries" juice from a bottle. Also slightly pricey. +1 for having a tap with water and glasses nearby!

I really like this place. Good food, portions and prices and nice venue. The only slight let down was my curry not being heated through properly.

Lovely vegan cafe in the centre of Canterbury. Good selection of healthy veggie bowls and some naughtier treats, like the amazing berry, banana and maple syrup pancakes 🥞🫐 The staff are always friendly, and the atmosphere is very lively, especially on weekends.

It’s always a joy to come here. The food changes everyday and it’s always tasty, colourful and nutritional!

Wouldn’t have sought out a veggie restaurant but had a recommendation from a Canterbury local. Stunning food, truly delicious. If you’re veggie, Gluten free or just hungry, this is the place. Very reasonable prices for such delicious fresh food.

Changed hands, I think; and gone very much downhill

Wonderful place with great food, service and atmosphere.

We love the Buddha bowl here, coming here again just to have this.

Really love the vibe and the food. Very healthy options. Comforting and energising. Love the sweet potato fritters, Olson loved the pancake

We absolutely love The Veg Cafe as a family, to study or just to enjoy really good, wholesome, quality and delicious food! Really recommend been coming here for years and always will 🥰

Amazing choice of vegan cakes and drinks (amongst other things!) in a lovely setting. I highly recommend!

Delicious! A wide range of gluten free options

I LOVE IT HERE! Me and my partner are 20 years old vegans and we drive an hour just to eat here some days! It’s super healthy and so packed with flavour. If you’re vegan or not and want a healthy and tasty lunch with lots of different options on one plate. This is for you. Dessert is unique and tasty too. Coffee is 5 star. Staff are beautiful too. IF YOURE THINKING ABOUT IT, JUST DO IT ❤️

Staff serves with smile and gives alternative..

Food is incredible, the staff are always smiling such a great place to eat on a nice sunny day.

I've been going for years, and my favourite place to go to Canterbury highly recommended 👌

Lovely place with a good selection of vegan dishes and delicious cakes, tad expensive hence 4*

Great healthy and delicious food in Canterbury! Such a fanI love this cafe!

Great place to sit outdoor in the heart of the pedestrian city centre. Great curry, variety of salads with/without fermented pickles, delicious gluten-free cake and perfect cappuccino. Definitely the place to go!

You are never disappointed, we had a lovely vegetable curry for lunch and coffee and a very welcoming service, the staff are really kind and helpful.

Delicious food and a great find! The food was great and satisfied the vegetarians as well as the meat eaters in our family. We tried all the specials - Sri Lankan curry, GF veg lasange, tomato soup and loaded jacket potatoes. Nice hearty lunch and a welcome break from sandwiches.

Very tasty vegetarian food, very friendly staff and beautiful location. We certainly will come back!

One of my favourite cafes in Canterbury. Really delicious healthy food and friendly staff.

Excellent service, food and cleanliness. Highly recommend stopping here on your trip to Canterbury!

Excellent food and atmosphere, staff are friendly too so will definitely come back

Cozy atmosphere, very good buddha bowls and nice staff!

Love this place. I’ve been vegan for 3 years and counting and it makes me so happy when I see a place that really does vegetables justice and serves food that makes you feel so refreshed and healthy. Definitely give this a go- I had the mushroom wellington and it was incredible! Staff were very nice as well. They also do homemade kombucha but it was sold out- will be back to try!

Nice Vegan and vegetarian flavours

Food was lovely and service was very good.

Food is Amazing! Staff are friendly

Nice vegan options. Friendly staff

I have been to Veg café several time alone and with friends. It always has a warm welcoming energy. The food is amazing and I love all the vegan cakes. My favourite is the coffee walnut, a must try!. I must visit when you are in Canterbury Town Novlyn Barreto

Homemade healthy food, tastes great and good value! They even had a student discount :)

Absolutely beautiful tasty food.👌

Love it at veg box. Friendly atmosphere. Delicious food. Our favourite place to eat

Amazing experience, very hygienic as well as tasty food. The entire staff was really friendly. Very clean toilet.

Have been coming here for a while. It’s my favourite eating spot in Canterbury! Never had a bad meal, staff always friendly, will keep coming back!

Always lovely service and the best vegan food in Canterbury

Best place vegan and vegetarian food. Good Ambiance

Another great experience at The Veg Box Cafe - our favourite place for lunch in Canterbury! Delicious salads and yummy cakes too!

We have visited Canterbury from New Zealand six times in recent years, having a daughter & family living here. When we think of food and coffee in Canterbury this is an absolute fav. Love the vegetarian/vegan options, the freshness of ingredients, coffee, and the very reasonable prices.

I'm not vegan, but this is one of my favourite places to go for lunch in Canterbury. It just feels so healthy, so packed full of nutrients. It always tastes amazing. And I'm super picky with restaurants normally but I go there and then don't stress afterwards that I've pigged out and ruined my diet. The portions are huge. Even my boyfriend loves it and he's the biggest meat eater I know. Definitely recommend for lunch.

Delicious, fresh and innovative whole food cooking. Always amazed at their beautiful salad creations (a work of art) wonderful flavours and texture combinations, expertly served to complement one another. If you appreciate real food and you cook yourself, you will see that this establishment understands food, and how to make each ingredient sing 💚 Long live the veg box!

Came for some lunch with a friend and had a really nice time! The interior is nicely spaced out and designed with pretty cool colour combinations. I love that there are couches towards the back, very cosy. I ordered the hot pot, (which changes daily) and was lucky to have this amazing Sri Lankan curry! It came with rice too and some delicious veggies on the sides. To drink I had this smoothie mixed with beetroot, bananas and some other ingredients. It was pretty good! I definitely will be back.

Bozena and Russell, who are the owners of this shop, are EXTREMELY unprofessional. Their cafe is unhygienic and their employees are overworked. They both run this cafe but have zero work ethic. The food has potential to be good but the place is extremely unhygienic. They don’t treat their employees well. Admin lacks professionalism.

Food ok, but didn't have half of the vegan full breakfast available after we ordered. They offered part meal, but took refund. Waited a long time for coffees and cake and served after others who arrived later. Dog barking in cafe was loud, but dog settled once it had something to eat.

Very nice vegan place with plenty of options and their own fermentation station

Great vegan place to eat. The food tastes very good, the staff is very nice. A bit pricy. We kept coming back while in Canterbury.

The vegan paradise in Canterbury! Nice staff and delicious food. The prices are a bit high but it's worth it. Lasagna was amazing and the vegan cake with nuts and coffee incredible! We were in the city for four days and every day we went to the vegbox :)

Had a lovely breakfast, staff very friendly and accommodating

The service was OK - you choose what you want at the counter and someone brings it to you. It was crowded inside, so we sat outdoors. I gave 4 stars to the food because my spouse enjoyed it more than I did. There are not enough options for people who have to avoid carbohydrates. Each day there is a different menu, but it is limited in its choices.

Outstanding food, lovely outdoor seating area and well priced. Would definately visit again and please open up more cafes!

Food 10/10, everything we had was super tasty! Saturday lunchtime was busy and felt quite noisy, we chose to sit outside instead. Speed of service was a little lacking on our visit but would definitely recommend this place for a colourful plate of deliciousness.

Love this restaurant The foods amazing

Lunch menu excellent value but cake very overpriced !!

Best place to have the vegan food in Canterbury ✨ The food, staff and owners are so good and welcoming. Highly recommending this place. Must visit ✨

Oh i loved the place… specially the staff was super sweet and quick to serve. Food was delicious and fresh. Heavenly experience for all the vegetarians out there. Also recommend for all the vegans.

The Veg Box Cafe serves delicious plant-based dishes in a cozy setting, with fresh ingredients and friendly service. A must-visit for vegan and vegetarian food lovers!! Perfect price and quality ratio!! 10/10

Such a great staff: Deeksha, Khyati, and Akanksha. This is the best place for vegetarians and has a very decent ambience.

I love the Veg Box! I would definitely recommend it, the plant-based menu is delicious and the restaurant itself is very cosy and welcoming.

We loved the food. Delicious. Tastes so good. And really good for the mind and the body.

Very disappointed. 6 months pregnant desperate to use toilet facilities, to the point I was dancing to be challenged with buying an over priced drink as “it’s our policy” I would love to see the policy where they don’t allow pregnant women to use the toilets?

The best place in the world. Love 🫰🏻

The food was amazing, if you are looking for a delicious vegan meal or a refreshing drink that your pick! Service is on a high level, the staff was very polite and kind. Will definitely be coming back

Love this place, you don’t need to be vegan to appreciate the food and the atmosphere that I experienced there!

Very tasty veggie dishes with plenty of vegan options. The only drawback is that sometimes it is difficult to find a table.

I’m a reluctant vegan. But the food and staff here went a long way toward pulling me in. Had the Buddha Bowl with pesto, onions & dukka (nuts), raw carrot cake and, yes, they had a beer for me, Belgian Leffe that went great with everything. All very tasty. Interesting textures, colors, and mix of leafy, roots, nuts & seeds, tied by an excellent dressing. Didn’t ask what was in it, just soaked it in. Vegan or not, this was a great meal by any standard. Take care of your body, take care of the earth.

Nestled in the heart of Canterbury, Veg Box Cafe is a true gem for vegan food enthusiasts. As soon as you step inside, you're greeted with a cozy, welcoming ambiance that sets the stage for a delightful dining experience. Their menu boasts a creative array of plant-based dishes, each crafted with care and bursting with flavor. From hearty salads to indulgent vegan burgers, there's something to satisfy every craving. With its delicious food and inviting atmosphere, it's definitely a place worth returning to often. Enjoy your visits!

I have been coming to the Veg box for years and always absolutely loved it. Unfortunately I feel since changing owners things haven’t been as great. I came here for lunch on Monday 30th April and although the food was great the service was very bad. There weren’t enough staff and you could tell they were rushed off their feet and very stressed. The waiting times were 30 minutes plus which is ridiculous for food which is already made, and the quality of the coffees was poor, they weren’t hot and didn’t have the usual added love ( art, petrels etc) I just wish you would invest in your staff and help when they obviously really need it. The staff did amazingly even with how busy it was and how obviously stressed they were. They deserve a huge thank you and appreciation.

Ordering Process Make it easy for customers to place orders online or by phone. Provide clear information about box options, pricing, delivery schedules, and customization options.At Canterbury Vegbox, there's a worker named Sarah who is really helpful. Whenever I have questions about the vegetables in my box, she patiently explains everything to me. She even gives me tips on how to store and cook the veggies. Akanksha always has a friendly smile and makes me feel welcome when I pick up my box. If I ever need to make changes to my order, she's quick to assist and ensures everything is sorted out smoothly. I appreciate her warm and helpful attitude-it makes getting my vegbox a pleasant experience every time!

A lovely place to eat, lovely staff. Unfortunately the staff were rushed off of their feet and were turning people away or at least saying that they would have to wait for 25 minutes or more. This is a business that is asking for people to invest. I was quite interested when I first read about it, but I feel that the staff are not valued as they have not been given sufficient staff to run this place. I don’t want to invest In a place that does not invest in their staff.

Delicious hot potatoes with a well-dressed salad.

Delicious, healthy food for a good price!

I've been here a few times. Always with mixed feelings. The food is tasty, and - obviously - wholesome. But the service is too slow, and I think they trade a bit on the goodwill of their target 'alternative' audience as regards pricing and service speed / efficiency. Today I bought three coffees, a brownie and a flapjack. It cost me £19. The coffee arrived after 10 minutes, maybe 5 minutes after the ready-made food. That's not good for such a price-point. London prices without London service standards?

Food was not hot enough; seemed pre-made and reheated. Not worth the price. Very good inside atmosphere but definitely won't be coming again. Wait staff seemed disinterested and more inclined towards their own conversations.

Enjoyed a lovely lunch here. Can thoroughly recommend both the Red dragon pie and the Courgette fritters. The vegetable salad with it was the best I've had. Definitely be returning 👍

Great tasty and healthy food what more can you ask for? Oh friendly staff and good prices? You get those too. Been a number of times now and every time has been perfect.

On arrival, choosing what to order was the difficult bit. We had a lovely lunch of soup and bread, with coffee, and sat in the sun, outside. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Amazing plant based food, quality and price. We are visiting regularly when in Canterbury for the lunch.

This is the best food ever. I'm not even vegan. Nowhere close. I'm a meat eater. But I would eat here at every meal. Their Buddha bowl is a holy experience; their Vegan Full English a sacred thing. Awesome place. I would give them a 100 stars if I could. Can I?

Yes the food was healthy and reasonably tasty however the price was not worth what was offered. Small portions considering it’s only veg leading to hunger a few hours later. They also had a few dogs around inside the cafe, I know many don’t mind this but I do. Definitely need more cafes like around this but with taster food and more reasonable prices.

The best place in Canterbury to have a vegan food. Worth to give it a try. Loved it.

Nice breakfast but very expensive

It was quite expensive for the amount of food and we both didn't really like it.

Dog friendly . Comfortable environment. Pay and order at the till, so no real service . Love the self serve water tap.
