Our Heritage & Atmosphere

A Historic Hideaway in the Heart of Canterbury.

Located at 43 Burgate, our coffee house makes its home inside an evocative Grade II* listed building dating back to the late 14th century. Surrounded by timber beams and centuries of Canterbury history, Burgate Coffee House is an intimate sanctuary just seconds away from the Cathedral.

Whether you are an early-morning commuter pausing for a velvety flat white, a university student seeking a quiet corner with a book, or an explorer wandering the historic cobbled lanes, you are always welcome here. We take pride in honest hospitality, locally roasted fair-trade beans, and comfort food made fresh to order.
