The Veg Box Cafe in Canterbury

Fantastic food, was here 2 weeks ago and tried for the first time whilst on a day trip with parents, came all the way back today just to come here.

What a lovely place to stop for some lunch. Was pretty busy when we arrived but food wasn’t delayed and everything was super tasty! The Sri Lankan Hot Pot stole the show however, the coronation chickpea in the Buddha Bowl was sensational! Thank you so much!

Quite overpriced at a first glance but ended up being exactly what I wanted! Had the Buddha bowl and it was light but tasty. Recommend the pesto on it. I'm always happy to support plant based places - service was fast and atmosphere was good.

Healthy lunch choices with local sourced vegetables. Nice and helpful staff. All in all a good experience. Definitely recommendable!

Very nice food and a great vibe

Amazing atmosphere and food great spot

Absolutely gorgeous food, so many options all vegan! Quick service and such friendly and helpful staff.

I love the food and service there. Definitely recommend.

The salad was excellent and the raw cake was delicious and tasted fairly healthy (for a cake).

As a vegan, I don't eat meat Was very disappointed when I got served meat in my dinner WILL NOT BE COMING BACK AND WILL PROTEST AGAINST FALSE ADVERTISING

Thought I'd treat my Girlfriend to a Meal here today £22.60 for 1 Meal a Bottle of fruit juice and a white Coffee owe and guess what they only have Brown Sugar so I couldn't drink my coffee what a joke 🙃

Great healthy comfort food! Friendly staff. The hotpot of today (SriLankian) was fingerlicking good. Thanks for sharing the recipe so we will be able to make it back home!

Only recently discovered this fantastic cafe. I'm not vegetarian, but food as good as this really does make me consider it. Everything home cooked, delicious and healthy. And they brew their own kombucha! A real gem of a place with friendly service.

Excellent plant based lunches. Great cakes too. Fab coffee. Loved it and will return

great food, service, and atmosphere

Really good food and amazing service :)

lovey cafe, great service and lovely healthy food. thank you!

Delicious food, fast service, friendly staff. came in today on my birthday and will definitely be back. Can't recommend enough.

Forgot to deliver our meal til I reminded them half hour later.

Friendly and helpful employees, great food, big portions, nice atmosphere. I would recommend

We had lunch here on Sunday and it was amazing, we both had the Veg Korma and it was so tasty with generous portions! Staff extremely friendly and helpful explaining the menu, will definitely be going again!

I love this restaurant. I always come here with guests for the full vegan breakfast and it always delights everyone. And the girls behind the counter are super friendly :) My fav restaurant in Canterbury :)

Really vibrant and delicious range of food here with exceptional salads, pickled veg, seeds on the side. We came here for lunch twice during our week in Canterbury, couldn't stop thinking about it after we left.

Had a delicious lunch, highly recommend! Filling and reasonably priced.

Amazing vegan food best place in Canterbruy

Went for a full English on Sunday morning, lovely cafe, beautiful plants all around, and absolutely delicious (the tofu scramble, beans, and bread were all amazing). Delicious hot chocolate as well.

A fiver for one piece of sourdough toast and a ramekin of beans, as nice as they were, is a bit of a joke. Add in £6.50 for a smoothie (nice enough) and it is pricey for what you get. Could explain no-one else in at 11am on a Saturday.

The best place to eat in Canterbury!

Fantastic first meal experience

Amazing! 🤩 Came in for a quick coffee and cake and got the best service ever, the people behind the counter were friendly and really approachable the venue is clean and really beautiful, when you walk in you get all the right smells and I must admit it’s one of the best cupcakes I’ve had in Canterbury! Looking forward to trying out kore of the menu 👏🏼

Pleasant food and setting, but too expensive in relation to the offer. Quality declining over time.

Best vegetarian and vegan restaurant in Canterbury

We arrived just as they were winding up. I had the most delicious salad, girls had fantastic cakes and the hot food smelled divine. I can’t wait to visit again. Thank you for a great meal .

Fantastic place to eat and drink, I'm a regular customer in here and I absolutely love it!

So pleased I found this vegetarian cafe (possibly vegan? but they do have cow's milk for coffee). I was on a short break in Canterbury and was very hungry after a disappointing hotel breakfast! There is a daily changing lunch menu offering a soup, a stew, a bake and a fritter, all served with various salads. There are also things like jacket potatoes and cakes on offer. I had lentil shepherd's pie and several salads, all of which were wonderful, especially a wild rice pesto salad and a chickpea one with tarragon. Really wish I'd had my evening meal there the previous day AND the full vegan breakfast that morning too. If only there were more places like this - healthy, tasty and plenty of choice. Oh, and very friendly staff and excellent 80s music playing in the background! Almost enough to persuade me to move to Canterbury!

We called in on a family trip to Canterbury. We were rather late for lunch and they had sold out of a couple of items but what we had was delicious and reasonably priced. I would recommend this restaurant. It is a great find and close to the Cathedral and centre of town.

I really like this place. Good food, portions and prices and nice venue. Amazing veggie cottage pie and millionaires shortbread and friendly staff.

We usually enjoy eating here and see it as a nice treat. However, today we had only one of the two breakfasts brought out after ordering two. When I asked about the other, they were short on one of the ingredients. We said we’d swap it for another item. Then, someone else came over and we were offered a different swap - which we accepted. The food was tasty and fresh but only just warm - the hash browns were cold. My turmeric latte, however, was perfect.

We stopped by for a cup of tea. Didn't eat. Good atmosphere but tourist prices. We were served a teabag with hot water in a small cup for £3.25. Probably the most expensive single cup of tea I've had in my life.

Lovely place for lunch. Lots of options to choose from

Great veggie cafe in the heart of Canterbury if you are feeling peckish and wants some snacks or a fully lunch (hot and cold options). Super healthy and affordable with good service and dog friendly, hence the 5 stars! Hope to be back again some day soon :)

Beautiful food highly recommend

I was pleasantly surprised to stumble on this excellent vegan restaurant. The staff was friendly and described what was available to me. The mushroom Wellington was excellent, and the roast vegetables were nicely accompanied by a mildly spicy sauce. So it is a five-star from me - which I give out rarely

Excellent food. Manager is amazing

Friendly service and great food. Really recommend visiting this place!

Potato wedges weren't freshly made. I believe they pre cook and keep heating their food, taste could be better for the money spent.

Lovely friendly place. Food is amazing!

Love it here the food is always delicious and the staff are lovely

Lovely vegan spot with lots of great choices.

I didn’t get any delivery. I would like a refund please or reorder please. My name is Victoria it’s for room 17

Lunch for coeliacs and veggies, perfect meals.

Great atmosphere and excellent food!

Gorgeous menu - everything was delicious, vegan and gluten free! A huge treat and bonus for our day trip!! 100% be back!

One of the most friendly restaurants in town and by far the healthiest food you can find. Superb tasty meals, vegan and vegetarian and I'm neither but I go there as basically the food is delicious and super good for you too. I live on Canterbury and this place is well worth checking out.

Lovely service and amazing food

This place is a Vegan’s Eden, it was so cozy and delicious, great service and a friendly staff!

Lovely wholesome restaurant with a chilled, laid back, healthy vibe - they had lots of options to choose from. We went for soup and hot pot and was great. Very winters and warm dishes🫶

Lovely hot breakfast, the home made baked beans are the star of the show 💕

Very very good tasty food. My sister is a converted carnivore. Delightful!

Warm atmosphere, friendly staff, great healthy food

This used to be my haven in the city but I'll never go there again, after repeated rude service from different members of staff on different visits. There was a noticeable change around the time they opened an additional cafe in London. The food is tasty, locally sourced and healthy, so I'll be sad to miss it. But I just don't need the stress. Management should have a look at how staff are speaking to customers and consider reviewing the strange way orders are now taken and then served.

Used to be great, service is now terrible and food is over priced.

Delicious, healthy vegan food, locally grown. Superb vegan cakes! Great coffee. Helpful and friendly staff. Seating outside in the sun or plenty indoors. Good ambience.

We love the veg box. Delicious healthy food.

Very tasty and fresh food. I love the rich flavour and spices. Definitely makes me want to go again for a dine in next time. Delicious!

The cauliflower fritter was delicious the whole ensemble was just scrumptious. The service was friendly and efficient and the cost was really reasonable

Wonderful food and really lovely people serving us

Excellent selection of food, very tasty and good quality. We received our meals quickly and the service was good and efficient. All round a positive experience, would recommend and visit again!

Very tasty food, a great place to eat in Canterbury.

Lovely location nice fresh yummy vegan food 😋

Came here for lunch and ordered a “sharing platter” for 2. However, when the food came we were both given a huge sharing platter of delicious food! Great atmosphere and vibe to the place.

Amazing healthy food, lovely staff, love this place!

Lovely 100% plant based café a stones throw from the cathedral. Good for brunch - I had the frittata - lunch or coffee & cake. Really good selection of vegan cakes! I got the sticky ginger cake. Chilled atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Great 100% plant based café with brunch, lunch, coffee and lots of cakes. Just a stones throw from the cathedral. Chilled atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Amazing vegan food, from small treats to meals. Love coming here!

Delicious and nutritious food. One of my favourite places to eat in Canterbury. I highly recommend their fritters & salad !!

my fave place for lunch, i absolutely love their soups of the day❤️

The food is as excellent as ever. Great choices, healthy options, tasty and well seasoned. It would be a 5 star review save for a hygiene issue. We went on a weekday lunch and although it wasn't that busy, staff seemed unable to cope. Some tables were being cleared but not cleaned. Our table had debris and despite asking 2 different members of staff no one returned to clean it.

Amazing place with delicious food and friendly staff. I had a feast, and being vegan and gluten free it's not easy to eat out. I'll be back!

Arrived for brunch, found a table, chose from the menu and went to queue to order inside. After 25mins waiting to order we have up and left. If it takes that long to order, how long will it take for food to arrive?

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.

The best vegan food in canterbury - sweet and savoury

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

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.

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!

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.

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

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

Great experience! Recommended for vegetarians and vegans.

relaxing environment with helpful staff

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!

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
