Tiny Tim's Tearoom in Canterbury

We recently moved to Canterbury and haven’t been to many places around it yet. We decided to take our family there for lunch just based on the reviews online. What a wonderful place it turned out to be! Lovely staff, amazing food and cozy place. We’re definitely gonna be back! Thank you

A lovely place to eat in Canterbury. We have visited several times and have tried many things on the menu from afternoon tea to brunch. Great service and really good food. We love the setting too. Would recommend x

Delicious food served with a smile at a great location.

Cosy little cafe in Canterbury. Chicken Caesar salad was delicious. We also had the potato and garlic soup which was also great

Authentic and lovely tea room in Canterbury, we had a delicious afternoon tea for 25£ each, they have a great selection of teas

Was visiting with a friend and hopped in for some afternoon tea, the staff were so helpful with advising us about portion sizes and I can say- they were right! One serving of afternoon tea was more than enough between the two of us. The Raspberry Apple scone was delicious and so large we almost couldn’t finish it, and the finger sandwiches were so fresh with classic fillings! We got the Tiny Tim’s House-blend for our tea and loved it. Overall, Cosy Interiors, great food and excellent service:))

Very cozy spot, friendly staff, delicious hot drinks and crumpets :)

Lovely place for a classic scone. Their house scone (with blueberry and lime) is delicious (don’t forget the extra clotted cream!). Also nice selection of hot chocolates with fantasy. Beautiful setting.

Lovely tea rooms, good food, large scones 😋 been several times and will visit again 🙂

The three of us were there spontaneously and got a table straight away. On the second visit we discovered the haunted room by chance - an absolute must! Food and drink very tasty, relaxed atmosphere. We particularly liked the scones and avocado toast. The sourdough bread that comes with some of the dishes is also delicious.

Stop! Not only a gorgeous tearoom, but haunted! A fabulous array of cakes and treats for afternoon tea. Staff are friendly too! Definitely go😊

Very nicely decorated tearoom where we had a fantastic cake and traditional scones. An area for improvement would be the service for drinks, they could ask for that more often, although we (Dutch) had that more often in England.

Very friendly, quick service.. excellent atmosphere. Beautiful preserve building...a most do when I. Canterbury

Went here on recommendation and I'm pleased I did. Very quirky, nice staff, food very good (although my poached eggs were slightly over but that's being picky). All food brought out looked fabulous. A must visit

My friend and I visited Tiny Tim's Tearoom after cycling from Rainham to Canterbury and and before catching our train home. We were limited in time before having to catch our train, but in our time there we were very impressed with the service, the food and the atmosphere of the tea room. The tea in the tea pot was real (tea leaves)! You get a large tea pot, tea strainer and little handleless metal cup to rest the tea strainer on after pouring your tea ( or between cups ) The large fruit scone was lovely and crusty on the outside, fresh inside and with plenty of fruit. The butter and jam were generous amounts. Nothing comes to mind which was just OK about my visit. I recommend Tiny Tim's and I'll be back one day !

Excellent food and place to relax

Came in for dessert on a Sunday afternoon. Table service. Had a huge plain scone with jam and cream. Big tea menu to select from. Whilst it was busy, there was no pressure to eat quickly and leave, cafe has an upstairs and garden seating.

Huge but superb scones, wide variety of tea, friendly staff.

Absolutely amazing service and food.The staff were so friendly we only waited 2 minutes to be seated and order taken The food arrived hot freshly cooked.I would recommend the spitfire rarebit or the chicken breast huffkin .I will certainly be back

Wonderful cafe, lovely decor, very friendly service, excellent gluten free cake, lovely garden, delicious scones, tea and hot chocolate: perfect start to Canterbury 🫶🏻

What a pretty tearoom ☕🫖 enjoyed a Tiny Tim's Plump Pilgrim 😋 lovely surroundings, friendly staff and delicious food 👍

Top 3 Canterbury spots🫖💗 Wonderful savoury dishes, good prices, beautiful setting/atmosphere and fantastic service! A great place for history/ghost buffs too as this pretty tearoom has a fascinating and morbid backstory. Cakes are a bit dry and always are, that said - everything else makes up for them. Some of the best scones you’ll ever have!! Eggs are a must as well. Recommend✨

Lunch. Good service. Food really nice. Kent roll was fab. The cake were big portions and the scones were huge. Great overall experience

Popped in with the Mrs for a coffee as we were staying across the road at the Hampton Inn. We had a hot chocolate and a mocha, both very nice - you can sit outside too. The lady and gentleman that work there were very pleasant

I decided to visit this cafe as it seems to be famous for being haunted. The food I ordered seemed to be local cuisine, but the bread was fluffy, the meat inside was delicious (like KFC), and the chips and salad were also very delicious! Lunch was around 15 pounds per person. As a side note, there is a haunted room and a bathroom on the third floor, but I was surprised at how steep the slope was.

Fantastic place 2nd time and will be back 😀

My favourite place to take visiting friends and family in Canterbury. No need to pre-book. The cheese scones are super delicious, I keep going back just for them. I've tried different teas, they never disappoint. Nuts allergy friendly.

Had a lovely tea on a rainy day I. Tiny Tim’s Tearoom. So friendly and welcoming and very generous portions. Would recommend

I organised for 10 friends including myself to have afternoon tea here. The experience was wonderful. The food is delicious and the staff are amazing, running around to give all customers the loveliest experience despite being rushed off their feet at such a popular busy place. Would recommend this place 100%. Enjoy 😀

Sweet little place with friendly staff and quaint decor but unfortunately just too overpriced for what it was. So many places to eat in Canterbury so will be trying somewhere else next time.

Best and the biggest scones in town!

Had a late lunch here yesterday. The food was delicious. I had sultana scones with jam and cream and they were the best scones I've had in years...and they were enormous. The cafe is in a lovely old building, with an interesting history. And the staff are fantastic too. We had a waiter named Ben, who was so kind and attentive and really made our visit enjoyable.

Very cozy place. Nice staff and wonderful pieces of cake. Can really be recommended for a simple coffee or afternoon tea.

Quirky Super place, first time customer and we're be returning next time we are in Canters. Staff were excellent, friendly, professional and the service received was top notch. Teas were really nice, certainly different and there was plenty for two cups. Scones were of a good standard although one totally fell into pieces. Jam and butter were superb. £35 for 2 x teas, 1 x coffee & 3 x scones. Expensive, maybe, but was quality 👍

We had a lovely Afternoon Tea, High Tea and Gentlemen Tea there. The staff was attentive and helpful. All the food was delicious. We were extremely full afterwards.

Really cute interior. Only ate there for cakes. The cakes were frankly abysmal. We should have heeded warning from the woman sat next to us who had not touched hers… Carrot cake in particular was an absolute miss - couple of bites and couldn’t eat anymore of it. Stodgy and cheesy, little flavour. They really would benefit from a new baker / new baking cookbook. Also would not recommend cafe 35 next door.

Absolutely fantastic afternoon tea - huge portion size, incredible (massive) homemade scones and very accommodating staff! Lots of history attached the building too, and they do good breakfasts!

This tea room is famous for being haunted. The atmosphere was nice. There were many types of tea, and the lemon drizzle cake and scones were delicious.

Lovely birthday breakfast in a quaint setting. Food was amazing. Value for money. Will be back to try the cake, looks amazing!

One of the best scones ever!! And fantastic coffee too

First experience of an afternoon tea and it was delightful. Sultana scone with clotted cream and jam paired with a traditional English breakfast tea. Would highly recommend

If you want a traditional old fashioned English tea room then this is the place to go. Lovely interior, lovely staff, charming, quaint garden at the rear. Lovely tradional menu for lunch snacks as well as the extensive tea menu. Been twice now and have had the rarebit on sourdough both times.

Ohh a must visit when in Cantebury - you are going to love it! The variety of teas, the selection of delicious cakes with warm custard, the choices of fresh Kentish buns with chicken or the aubergine-halloumi - everything was a treat to the palette and your soul. I have to go back to try other things on the menu.

Lovely place for afternoon tea. Very cosy and old building with lots of features. The scones were amazing and the portions are massive! I had the high tea and it could have fed two people easily. It was very busy so we waited for a little bit which was fine. The staff are friendly. A great experience and we didn’t feel rushed at all!

It’s antique and the scones are a must. Tea can also be used, but it will be bitter if brewed for too long.

Very nice tea room with wonderful cakes and scones. Friendly staff. Seating on 2 floors with toilets on the 3rd. There is an open window to the kitchen and I had a nice chat with the cook staff. Our pot of tea for two was very strong. The mixed berry scones were HUGE. The clotted creme fresh and jam not too sweet. Some outside seating for fair weather.

Tiny Tim's Tearoom in Canterbury offers an exceptional afternoon tea experience with high-quality, delicious sandwiches, scones, and sweet cakes complemented by an amazing tea selection. The historic building from the 1600s adds to the charm of the visit. A must-try destination if you're in town!

Really lovely tearoom. Saw it on tv during lickdown, so came all way from harrow just to try it out. No disappointment. Super staff fabulous food

Good value city centre coffee house in very central location. Excellent menu & staff service.

it’s a typically English place in the center of Canterbury. There is a wide choice of teas, each more promising than the last. As for the Full English Breakfast, it lived up to our expectations. The only regret is paying a bill in which a 10% tip is included by default! And, as tourists, you don't realize it until it's too late!

Looking for something special, Tiny Tim's is a must. Great food, an excellent selection of tea as you would expect, and speciality coffees. There are plenty of cakes and the service is excellent. Did I mention the GHOST room. There is so much history in the building, it's full of character and to top things off, a live pianist. I will definitely be back to sample one of the amazing looking afternoon teas.

We discovered this charming tearoom last summer on a trip to Canterbury and were completely enchanted. So, on a recent Easter visit, returning to Tiny Tim's Tearoom was a must! They offer a fantastic breakfast spread, with portions that are both generous and varied. From full English breakfasts to simple toast and jam, there's something for every taste. But be warned, the scones are legendary! They're incredibly large, buttery, and absolutely delicious – definitely not to be missed. For a touch of intrigue, explore the entire tearoom. There's a secret room on the top floor, rumored to hold ghostly secrets! Whether you're seeking a hearty breakfast or a delightful afternoon tea, Tiny Tim's Tearoom is a Canterbury gem.

Wonderful, delicious scones! Ordered a high tea for one, which comes with two scones (one plain and one with sultanas), butter, jam and clotted cream. However the scones are massive, so I managed to eat only one and took the second one with me to eat later.

Nice atmosphere, good selection of afternoon teas and cakes, good food. Interesting display of the haunted room upstairs!

very comfortable tearoom - serving scones and coffee , tea . good and friendly service and the scones are nice !

A lovely and quaint tearoom in the heart of Canterbury. We had some of their hot chocolates, which were fantastic. Would definitely recommend.

Really good food. Loved the scones. Would definitely recommend for anyone going to Canterbury!

Afternoon tea was delicious the scones were enormous staff were lovely

Great experience lovely tea and scones and staff

Oh my god the cake was sooooo good! I will definitely be going back 👌🏻

What’s not to like! Wow fabulous cheesecake and friendly staff. Thank you. Cakes baked on site!

The place has a perfect vibe for tea time. It is a place to go with friends as well as with parents. Their scones are just amazing and you should not miss trying it. They also serve a variety of teas which are perfect with the scones to fill your tummy.

cosy place with best scones ever

We try not to use chain coffee shops, and this was a delightful find. It's quirky, with good coffee, and quite a range to choose from. The cakes and scones looked amazing, though we didn't try them. The staff were friendly and quick to look after customers.

This is a lovely spot to stop in. Everyone in our group was pleased with what they ordered. The scone of the day with the Devonshire cream did me right.

had to waite for seat fair enough sat down waited and waited n then I asked next table if was table service they went grabbed some 1 for us after long waite wasn't organised at all asked for check on ingredient to be told they rang chef who wasn't there ... got no reply so had to change mind was a joke tbo won't be going back ......

The place was crowded on a Sunday afternoon. There are lots of choice in the menu. Tea was great and the scone was so big for one :) Friendly staff and cozy atmosphere, highly recommend!

Cozy tea room. The scones and coffe are great. Nice to go for a quick bite, or for afternoon tea. It was really busy, and we had to get takeaway because there was no room for sitting.

Fantastic takeaway scones😍 What could be better? Only Tiny Tim’s afternoon tea🥰

The ambiance is amazing, the food wasn’t great at all :(

I love this place, it's the epitome of a little English tearoom. The staff are always great, the atmosphere is wonderful, with piano music (sometimes live!) and a charming, cosy feel. The food is wonderful, with a great range of choice to suit all tastes and budgets. The crown jewel though is, of course, their cream tea. The scones are enormous and also incredibly tasty, always fresh enough to break apart, the perfect texture of crispness on the outside and a little dense in the middle but not too heavy, just as a scone should. The amount of jam, butter and clotted cream to go along with them is also very generous. The tea menu is extensive, many of the teas on offer are local, as is much of the ingredients in their food and it shows. I can't recommend this place enough. It's my first go to whenever I have anyone visiting me from outside Canterbury and everyone always comments on what a charming lunch destination it is.

Worst hot chocolate I've had in a while. Overpriced, lukewarm.

Should you be gluten free, avoid the scones! Today, a group of us had afternoon tea; being gluten free, I was expecting the scone to have been freshly baked. When the tray arrived, the scone was very hot, and by the time I was ready to eat it, it was very hard; you could not cut it! Was the scone warmed for too long in the microwave?

A really cosy tea room in the heart of Canterbury. The food was excellent, though you are paying for excellent food, and the servers are always polite and able to accommodate requests. Tiny Tim's is always a favourite. If you have trouble with stairs, be aware that their toilet is situated up two quite steep staircases with no disabled access.

Merveilleux afternoon tea ; les scones étaient délicieux, l’ambiance chaleureuse et cosy et l’accueil très agréable, merci !

Tearoom done out to a high standard. Prices were reasonable. I had the baked camembert with toasted bread . It was amazing, my daughter kindly helped me finish it. Looking forward to the next visit.

every time we come to Canterbury this is our regular place, always super nice and friendly people.

Traditional tea room offering a nice selection of cakes and light lunches. Scones were enormous and tasty.

Always guaranteed good quality food highly recommended.

Went in today, having been going there for over 20 years, Unfortaantly wont be ever going back, the lady who was doing the coffees downstairs and supposedly is in charge spoke to my wife and I in such a rude and condescending way ,that we felt be little, how rude can some one be.such a shame the the tea room employs a person like that

Great food and a reasonable price. Atmosphere was good and right in the heart of Canterbury. Would recommend.

Friendly staff with a large choice of food. Unfortunately for me then ran out of full English breakfast so had to settle for eggs on toast

Loved the vibe of this place, a big selection of teas and cakes.

Welcoming, friendly and efficient staff. Lovely atmosphere. Delicious food. Well worth a visit.

It's an amazing tea room over all – but the scones are the best ever!! I can't get enough of them .:)

Wonderful tearoom, exceptional scones. Be prepared to queue a little, due to the popularity of the place. Extra: there may be a ghost in a room at the top floor...

Old world charm, had a lovely time here, great service and ambiance. Highly recommend this place for a cozy little tearoom experience.

Always a good place to visit in Canterbury. A bit expensive imo (not full 5* because of this). Don't forget to visit the haunted room upstairs.

Always very busy but there is a reason for that. It is a lovely place, with nice staff and homemade food. Best scones ever

My daughter and I enjoyed a lunch at the wonderful Tiny Tim’s in the heart of Canterbury. This unique and historic spot comes highly recommended from us. The food was both delicious and abundant. Despite being busy, the staff were attentive and friendly, ensuring our satisfaction. The live piano music in the background played by a distinguished gent enhanced our experience. We’re eager to return!

Very kind service, smooth music makes a lovely atmosphere to enjoy your tea or coffee. But food is also delicious and I mean not only cakes 😉 Very recommended place 👌

An excellent find on a trip to Canterbury! We called in for tea and scones, my wife chose that, I was attracted to the Plump Pilgrim! Wow! Was it plump, and filling. Enjoyable prompt service from the young front of house team. Be aware there is a service charge to be added to the prices.

Stopped off after an appointment to enjoy a flavoured latte & a French roast. The waitress gets bonus points for checking re allergies & asking if we had enough sugar. Cosy & clean.

Lovely tearooms, delicious cakes. I took my 11 yr old granddaughter as a treat which she thoroughly enjoyed.

Fantastic service ,very friendly. Would highly recommend.

We were given a voucher for afternoon tea which was delicious, when I went to hand it in to pay, I was told there was a service charge to pay. I paid it but this has put me off giving a voucher as a present for somebody as I didn’t think you should have to pay for anything as you have the voucher.

café cosy en plein centre de Canterbury. Les scones sont une véritable merveille. Je recommande !
