Chapters Coffee and Books — Restaurant in Canterbury

Lovely welcoming staff. Amazing coffee and cake. Me and the family had a lovely morning and will definitely recommend and will return. When ordering I selected a cappuccino and chocolate cake. The staff member made me aware they had other options that hadn’t been put out yet (we arrived early), and listed all options and allowed me to change my mind. I changed to millionaires slice cake.

Would love to leave a mention to the lovely blonde girl who provided such wonderful service to us - so many thanks Chapters, you...

(It was around 12.30 on Fri) eventually parked on yellow lines. Decided to get a takeaway and support new local buson. Cafe is beautiful, cosy and would have been nice to sit. It was very busy the two staff were very up against it. The only down side was £3.20 for latte in a tiny cup and just warm. The cups used when staying appeared larger. So this was disappointing. Will try and return, if I...
