This place is often foolishly overlooked by many as it sits at the lower end of the High Street but if you want to avoid major chains, this is the perfect independent gem and brims with delicious French pastries and smiling staff. As it was a late Sunday afternoon, I failed to secure a snap of their display as most of it was sold out. Just a few tarts and cakes left... And so I settled down for my afternoon delight instead and listened to two pretty girls talking in Spanish to each other and the sounds of French chatter from the kitchen. A touch of Bohemia and a great, cosy meeting place with sunlight splashing on the walls.
I ordered my usual. A small hot chocolate. It is the best in town by far, hands on heart. No frills, no fuss just a really good quality cup of deliciousness and at the bargain price of £1.90.
If you're hungry, which I unfortunately was not, they also do a really mean croque monsieur!
I had wanted to sit in the garden because it's a lovely little pocket of peace but alas, it was too chilly for me but these chaps were happy to brave it!
If you ever find yourself in the city and fancy a spot of afternoon delight, head to Cafe St Pierre. I promise you won't regret it. Even the gingerbread men here are happy!
Lovely photos, that little cafe is so cute, love those kind of little town places xx
ReplyDeleteI want to visit!
ReplyDeletemy sister went to uni in Canterbury but I only visited her once which I regret - it's such a lovely place! We had tea in a cafe (not this one I don't think) and were served by a man who looked like Vince Noir
ReplyDeletethis place looks lovely, sad I didn't get to it when I visited Canterbury. I have a similar chair at my mum's, so very French! xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place, I put that in my diary for something to look forward to, thanks
