The Wallflower Cafe in Canterbury

Just attended their fine dinning night. Again the food was exceptional, who would have thought that a plant based meal could possibly be this good. My meat eating friends were overwhelmed by such a sensational meal , such incredible tasting food and would definitely go again and again. The Wallflower deserves to be full of customers every day. Don't miss out, this place is something not to be missed. The staff were brilliant as usual. Thank you, we look forward to the next special evening.

Fabulous lunch. We had so much to choose from. My dog was allowed in and encouraged to flop on the sofa. The staff were very caring and chatty and were passionate about their cafe.

Absolutely top class food. We had the vegan breakfast with vegan black pudding and was veey with presented with lively toast on the side and was delicious. The cafe has a very warm.and welcoming atmosphere and were greeted by staff on arrival. We chatted to the owner who took time to welcome us. We will be back to try a different dish. Thank you.

Amazing home cooked breakfast, homemade bacon and scrambled eggs. My dog got the star treatment. Stellar waitstaff. Good value. Only downside is that it is very hot in the summer as it is located adjacent to a Morrison parking lot and no cross breeze; probably more enjoyable on rainy or wintery days. All vegan and big menu. I made a special trip to Herne Bay from Canterbury to try this cafe and was not disappointed. Will definitely return. Card accepted, but cash preferred. Tips also appreciated.

I have wanted to visit this cafe for a while so popped in for a light bite. My falafel Buddha bowl salad was reasonable; red onion, peppers, beetroot, diced tomatoes and cucumber with a very tasty hummus. Falafel was good. But overall it was somewhat plain, unexciting. No roasted seasonal veg or herby dressing which would have enhanced the flavour either. It just lacked wow factor. My daughter’s bagel seemed rather processed- lots of fake meat and no healthy salad. Disappointing. The cafe is quaint but often very busy, chaotic and loud. The owner was rushed off her feet, staff super pressured so it just wasn’t easy to relax. The tables are squashed together, and they spent time moving furniture around to accommodate customers which I felt was a little invasive when there is limited personal space. I’m vegetarian but try to eat mostly a plant based diet overall. I just didn’t feel the food was particularly flavoursome or had much of a health focus. I ordered a Japanese cherry tea which never turned up. The coffee was tepid and tasted only of soya with no deep coffee flavour. They were just too busy, I could see. The staff were friendly, it’s a pleasant little place, but I’m not sure I would return.. I think it would be better at a quieter time for coffee and cake.

Great vegan café. Staff very friendly and welcoming, food excellent. Full of flavour. So good to have a great menu and for all of it to suitable for vegans. Food well presented and prices very reasonable. Nice atmosphere, and very welcoming to dogs.

Just had an amazing Valentine's meal for two at the Wallflower. Fine dining at its very best, comparable to any London restaurants we have visited. This is the star of vegan fine dining, three courses that all delighted. Thank you for a great evening. The staff were friendly, engaging and delightful.

We went with our vegan son and all three of us enjoyed our lunches. Everything was fresh and tasty and service was pleasant. Nice atmosphere

Excellent food and well presented but a shame we had to wait one hour for our food order which was just two light meals! No explanation or apology for the delay. I would have liked to have given a first class review but the time delay and lack of apology spoiled my experience. I don’t think I will make a return visit and would be cautious in recommending to friends.

We stumbled across this cafe whilst wandering around Herne Bay. We are plant based so it was nice to find somewhere where we could eat everything. The place has a cosy feel with a handful of tables. Dog friendly which was a bonus! Staff were lovely & very attentive. My partner had their full breakfast, which for £9.95 was very cheap for the amount of food you get. Everything was fresh & cooked to perfection. I had their pancakes which were by far the best vegan pancakes I have ever had. We also brought a cherry pie & brownie to take away, which were delicious. Would highly recommend to any vegan/plant based eater but also to any Omni's We will definitely be back!

Another lunch time visit to this very special cafe. The food is fabulous and the staff are so caring. No matter what your diet there is something for everyone to enjoy. They were also recently rated in the top 10 seaside cafes in one of the Kent newspapers. Definitely worth a visit time and time again.

Lovely food, reasonably priced and very friendly staff. Are always happy to help and will definitely be going again! :)

Firstly, I’m not a vegan, and I do not claim to be an expert on vegan food. However, it just wasn’t for us sadly. A nice little hideaway, friendly staff, but the food was, in my humble opinion, not as tasty as hoped.

What a wonderful night at the Wallflower burger night. I can't begin to understand how they make Vegan food so tasty. Lovely people and as always brilliant food and atmosphere. A special shout out to the lovely Freya who was very kind to our dog Luna. Thank You.

its poggers because freya works there. She is very cool and she always boosts me on valorant, she is the e-mommy of kent!

Absolutely lovely little vegan place tucked away down a small arcade off the High St. Delicious food at very reasonable prices, very friendly staff. Went on a Tuesday morning and left very satisfied

Cute little boho cafe in Herne Bay which is impressively 100% plant based. Very relaxed atmosphere with super friendly team of people serving and cooking. Good menu selection with themed nights and a function catering service available. The bonus of being plant based, is that your four legged friend is welcome too.

I’ve been here a few times now and they have never disappointed. The food is always delicious and the staff are just so lovely and accommodating! The oat lattes are probably the best I’ve ever had. We love that they’re dog friendly too as the dogs love coming with us!

The food was fantastic, it's all vegan but there's things there for your friend or family who isn't vegan and guarantee everyone will be satisfied. But I'm not here to write about the food, other people have covered that. I don't do reviews usually (I think I've done like 5, because I was asked) but I was so impressed here that I downloaded the app, logged in just to write this review. I came in with my partner and her disabled dad who can't speak and has difficulty eating and drinking. The lady serving us was so helpful and struck a balance between being an absolute angel and not being condescending/speaking to my father in law like he was a child. We could tell he was happy to receive the help and adjustments made. What an amazing service they have here, they should be an example to all other customer-facing businesses. Thank you Wallflower Cafe!

We had the vegan burger with potatoe wedges which was very nice, served in a cosy and relaxing atmosphere by the very friendly staff. Try the coffee-walnut cake and you'll be happy for the rest of the day.

Amazingly friendly staff, 100% vegan menu! Fantastic food! The best I’ve ever had! Can highly recommend! Dog friendly too, will be visiting again with my pooch! Coffee was delicious, lost sheep flat white made with oat milk., very nice .. going to use them for my sisters birthday catering as the do outside catering too. Fantastic find!

Wonderful Mothers day lunch today. Food was wonderful as always. The staff are lovely and did us proud as always. Will visit time and time again, thanks.

One of the most delicious cafés I have ever been too! I highly recommend this cafe to all vegans. ***

Great food and nice, friendly, helpful service. Fresh ingredients cooked well. Something for everyone. Real strawberries in the milkshake so good.

Cozy atmosphere. Very friendly. Excellent food and choice. Will definitely be back (every day If I could)

I'm not vegan but intolerant to wheat and dairy so it was nice to go somewhere where I could eat more than 1 thing on the menu! I had the falafel buddha bowl and berry smoothy and loved it. The only criticism I had was...

Sweet potato and chickpea curry yummy yummy Catered well for Gluten and Dairy intolerances Polite and friendly staff

Went here for the first time. The service is friendly, personal, and a little embarrassed to invade your space.Drinks arrived immediately and the good seemed a bit slow until I realised it was made from scratch per order. I had the 'loaded chilli chips - you MUST try it)As a meat eater, this this the best kidney been curry I've had for years. My compatriot delighted in her fritata.Friendly, reaxed, value for money and I will be taking difficult to please people in there because service, good and price are incomparable in Herne Bay.Will be going again. Often

This was simply amazing. We totally recommend we gave just recently started eating out again. Reviews were good so gave it a try. Very nice. Well done all of you.

I visited the Wallflower today for the first time with a family member (who's a regular). I will definitely be making repeat visits! The food was absolutely delicious, the flat white coffee made with oat milk was velvety and gorgeous. Helpings were generous, service was friendly and the atmosphere was great. Can't wait to ho back!

Stopped for lunch with my veg-head mum and her dog the other day. I was dubious about the menu as I'm a very meat and dairy person.I had a chocolate brownie milkshake which was, frankly, better than normal dairy. My cream cheese and avocado bagel (with maple syrup and fake bacon) was delicious!! And finished up with a rocky road, which I devoured nuts and all (I hate nuts).Couldn't give better praise. Staff were lovely, place was comfortable, I watched them disinfecting plates and sanitizer was on every table.

Called in here yesterday. After days of heavy (but good) food I needed something fresh and tasty. I’m pescatarian and my daughter is a full on meat eater (disgruntled at going to a vegan cafe). We both LOVED our meals including puds! So much to choose from and all meals going out looked amazing! Freshly cooked, friendly staff and generous satisfying portions! Definitely would recommend 100%Ps all covid-19 measures in place including hand sanitiser, track and trace etc .... v safe!

Enjoyed a great vegan breakfast cooked fresh,great coffee,very relaxed customer friendly place to visit.Hygeine very high standard.

We just fancied a snack really and saw the sign. Neither of us are vegans but saw the good reviews. No regrets at all. We had the wallflower burger which came with a few chips and salad. Totally delicious. Only small portion of chips but really tasty and lovely aioli. Would really recommend this place. It's not romantic as overlooks a car park which you have to cross currently to get to the toilet, but it just feels so nice and homely there. We will 100% come back.

Went to the wallflower cafe yesterday (Saturday) after hearing so many good things about it. The cafe is in a great location tucked away in The Mall and with plenty of parking options. Would have liked to have been given a heads up on wait times for takeaway food as it took almost 30 minutes for them to make the tofish finger sandwich with chips I ordered. I was with my sister and we went and browsed a couple of nearby shops to kill time but still ended up waiting for a while outside the cafe. It looked like the staff were really busy and I don't mind waiting for fresh food to be cooked (it was totally worth it in the end) but would have liked a heads up before ordering as I likely would have come back another time if I'd known it was going to be a long wait.

We were staying at a local campsite and walked to the 'Cat' and were very glad did. Haddock tart and scotch egg starters were perfect. Sausages, pork tenderloin and fish pie were top quality produce and beautifully cooked. The service was brilliant, no rush, no chasing and very friendly. Would recommend to anyone looking for a local pub with top food.

Sorely in need of proper nutrition I ate breakfast here x it was so nice i went back for dinner x halloumi cheese is to die for x x x x

We had the meatball marinara sub and the Wallflower wrap. Both came with delicious thick-cut chips and vegan aioli, roasted veg and lovely fresh onion salad. Thoroughly enjoyed!

A hidden gem which we are so glad we found. Had delicious to-fish (tofu) and skin-on hand cut chips plus cauliflower buffalo wings, handmade coleslaw and yummy cake. Salads looked delicious and menu extensive so we need to have several repeat visits! Staff very friendly and welcoming.

Fantastic little place with delicious food, superb and super friendly service but most importantly for us it’s dog friendly and we had no problems taking our Great Dane there. Went for a weekend in Whitstable and drove there for a dinner on both days. Very recommended :)

Lovely vegan cafe with excellent homemade food and great service. Everything is so fresh and flavour some :-) Team are really friendly and we will definitely be back!

Au fond d'un passage sur "High Street", pas évident à voir du trottoir. En contrepartie, nous avons pu y trouver une table alors qu'un autre resto, situé en évidence dans une rue piétonne, nous avait refusé car complet.Pour mon entrée, j'ai pris la soupe du jour : une soupe poireaux-pommes de terre, très épaisse, très copieuse et bien fumante, mais classique, sans originalité gustative (pas facile de remplacer la crème fraîche :;-) 5,50 £Ma compagne a trouvé son sandwich délicieux… et pourtant, elle est carnivore et a choisi ce restaurant en tout (mé)connaissance de cause ! :;-)Mon plateau de mezzé (olives, pesto de noix de cajou, « purée » de betterave et houmous à 7,50 £) était bien consistant car servi avec beaucoup de bâtonnets de pain aux herbes aromatiques (et non du traditionnel pain pita) à défaut de finesse (j'ai mangé un meilleur plateau, plus varié et plus goûteux, au Seapot de l'île de Wight).Petite erreur de service : la soupe et le plateau m'ont été servis en même temps. Ce n'est pas grave en soi puisque le plateau de mezzé ne comporte que du froid mais comme j'avais très faim, j'aurai préféré avoir la soupe rapidement !

Whenever I come to Kent and visit Herne Bay I like to come to this Cafe for their delicious cakes and choice of teas. Today I visited twice - chocolate brownie for breakfast (!) and then I went back for Welsh Rarebit for lunch. Always tasty food in a relaxed friendly atmosphere.

Small cafe a bit out of the way in Herne Bay. Tasty all-vegan menu, really friendly and helpful staff. Generous portions and reasonable prices. Lunchtime or snack/coffee only (10 am - 4 pm from memory), but menu fits that well. Only criticism might be lack of variation of the menu, but there is a daily special on chalkboard and the standard menu is good enough to not need to be constantly changed.

we went to the wallflower as it was close to where we've been staying in herne bay and we were really pleased with the food available and the great atmosphere inside the cafe. service was fast and friendly and the food was amazing! we will be back!

We were on a short break in Kent and visited Herne Bay twice. We found this cafe through the happy cow app.The food was freshly prepared and delicious. There were plenty of tasty and healthy plant based meals.The staff were friendly too. Would definitely recommend it.

This place is amazing, full of warmth and goodness. Had the turmeric and ginger latte and mushroom, Kale and spinach on toast..... Just simple good scummy food.....

Rainbow veggie and cheese frittata was beautiful.... too full, couldn’t finish!! Yummy. Partner had cheese burger with lovely aioli (garlic mayo)... very nice too.

Our first time in Herne Bay and we were looking for a nice cafe where we could get some gluten free food. We found The Wallflower Cafe on Trip Advisor and the pictures sold it. We weren't disappointed. A warm welcome from the moment we entered, sandwiches which could be made gluten free, and a range of tasty sounding specials. I went for the buddha bowl which was delicious. My parents had sandwiches and chips. Dad needs some persuading for most things, especially vegan food, but came away declaring it was the best sandwich and chips he's ever tasted (in fairness he's 75, so maybe the best he can remember, but still a great accolade). Generous portions and good coffee were a massive bonus too. The only thing is that it's tucked away in the back of an arcade off the high street, so you can easily miss it. My advice would be... don't.

Fantastic vegan cafe home made excellent food at very fair cost easy parking 2 hours free a must for all vegetarians vegans and people who love fantastic homemade food a hidden gem

I loved our lunch here, the food was lovely very tasty and gluten aware friendly staff will definitely be back thank you

This is a lovely plant based café. The owner was very friendly and welcoming. The menu is great with lots of choice at reasonable prices. The food was excellent with good portion sizes and homemade in the café daily. I can highly recommend it to anyone who fancies some excellent wholesome freshly made food and drinks. We will definitely be going again 10/10!! Sorry no pictures of the food because we wolfed it down as soon as it came!!

Visited for the first time today with my daughter. Food was excellent, great choice. Staff were very friendly and relaxed. Will definitely be returning.

We came across this lovely little restaurant by chance on Saturday as my dad used to come with my mum a few years back. What a difference! We didn’t realise it was vegan and felt a bit silly asking for eggs on toast! We settled for peanut butter on toast and a cup of Tea with oat milk. This was delicious and nutritious and we couldn’t tell the difference with the milk in the Tea! We are going back today for a delicious lunch with my hubby

Great for me breastfeeding a son with a dairy allergy. I wanted to eat everything but settled for an oat milk cuppocino.

Tripadvisor said this was the place for lunch, I'm not vegan but very happy with the choice and food

Excellent little cafe. Great choices on the menu, and everything looks good! Today we had the bubble & squeak, smokey beans and wilted green and a veggie burger, both were yum! But the Welsh rabbit looked good going passed to someone else too, so maybe back for that soon.... Friendly staff. Dog friendly, our young terrier had a bowl of water offered before we even asked. For me this is a great place as everything is vegan and the choice is brill, and its so good it satisfies meat eaters too. Win win

Really enjoyed this tiny cafe, all food freshly cooked to order and a nice selection of tasty looking things I wanted to try. It offered something a bit different and i had smokey beans with wilted greens and bubble and squeak. Large portions so no room for pud. Really want to go back and work my way through the menu, I wish they were open in the evening.

I’m no vegan by any means but the Wallflower food is delicious. You leave feeling nourished and healthy from all the nutritious food.

It was my first time in a vegan place and I have to admit it was very tasty. Coffee was very nice and food was very good too. I had a sandwich and a cake. Staff was very friendly and the venue has charm.

Popped in for lunch. Great selection of food and beverage. Small cafe but very tasty food. Probably the only 'full' vegan cafe in the area. Nice staff that run it.

Really lovely cafe. Excellent choices on the menu, even satisfied carnivores 😁 Friendly staff. Great cakes. Dog friendly. Have already been back.

This cafe is in an arcade, so not immediately obvious. However, it is clearly strongly on the map fir people sssking good food.

Always looking for vegan cafe’s when out and about and found a lovely one in Herne Bay. The Wallflower Cafe a good selection of food and drinks to eat in or take away. I had the Wallflower rarebit, my partner had the Indian plate and nephew the veggie burger. All the food was delicious and good sized portions. Got a slice of cake and brownie to take away. Will definitely re visit to try other dishes and they do themed evenings Spanish tapas night soon so may try one of those, would highly recommend.

not only is all the food and drink completly vegan, its also delicious! the staff are friendly and the atmosphere is great! highly reccomend xox

Had a fantastic late breakfast here! I had the yummy full vegan “fry up” and my partner had the hummus with cashew pesto and olives. Both meals were presented very well and tasted fantastic.

And great muffins too. We just popped in after looking for coffee and the staff were lovely and welcoming

Amazing cafe that I found by accident when I was staying with family near herne bay. I got a delicious meal which was very filling along with some really good juice/smoothie. Good service I'd recommend to anyone looking for good food in kent!!

I love the Wallflower, I've lost count of the times I have detoured from journeys to Canterbury and Ashford just to fit in a trip to the Wallflower. The range of food is exciting, the smoothies are amazing and everything is vegan, meaning those of us that eat with compassion are catered for. Wallflower team if you are reading this please, please consider opening more cafes, one in Ramsgate or Margate would be very, very welcome!!!

It’s just a lovely cafe. Lovely fresh, colourful food. Always lots of choice to be enjoyed in very chilled atmosphere. Just go!

Lovely food and lovely staff. Easy to miss, as it is at the back of a little old shopping arcade, or mall. But well worth a visit. I'm not even a vegetarian but there was plenty of choice for me, and I recommend it to vegans, vegetarians and others.

Being vegan I was pleased to find a local vegan cafe close to where I was staying. I popped in for a coffee and brownie (which was heavenly). The atmosphere was lovely and they had lots of other delicious food on offer. Definitely worth a visit.

Very nice lunch. Good choice with fresh local produce. Decent portions and friendly staff. Will be back soon.

Whilst visiting Herne Bay for the day we decided to try something different and go to this cafe for a vegetarian option. We don't often have vegetarian meals but found the food varied and delicious and satisfying. We would certainly go back and recommend to others. It's a shame there are not more vegetarian cafes like this about.

First visit to the wallflower vegan cafe, and I'm very impressed. Interesting menu and food is spot on. Not vegan myself but will definitely be going back soon!
