Gulbenkian Cafe in Canterbury

I'm bias as I have golden memories of this place as a student... But they've cleaned it up and the food is nay bad!!!

Really good food for decent enough prices. Good cheap coffee options available. Also good amount of seating.

A nice atmosphere and a good coffee.I was here conducting a survey and everyone I met was very helpful. I saw they served Whitstable Bay, one of my favourite ales. As I was there in the morning, I did not test the ales.

I've used the Gulbenkian Cafe Bar frequently over the last two years and found if to be an excellent stopping off point for something to eat, drink or meet people. It's pretty relaxed but can get busy during the day in in term time. Excellent venue for pre-cinema/theatre eats.

I had the chance of visiting Gulbekian for four days in a row since it was the only open café near the venue of a conference that I was attending. They made good coffee, but they should really work on their food offerings. I never expected a pizza to have sweet ketchup as a sauce.

4 of us visited Saturday 2nd November 2019 we arrived early for the show at around 6oclock. We walked up to the counter which was empty at the time.Behind the counter were 4 or 5 female students I assume chatting and giggling completely oblivious to us standing there. I asked if one would serve me a discussion followed on who it would be. I asked first for soft drink and was told to go over the other side of the room and take it out of the fridge came back no offer of a glass to put it in had to request it. I then asked for a spitfire with which a bottle was plonked on the counter again we had to request a glass. After asking 4 times for a glass of wine received it. I then asked for a coffee with cream. I was asked if I wanted pouring or whipped cream I said pouring please. I was then informed by this juvenile that they had not got any cream she added sarcastically that they did not sell it often, with which I replied you will not be able to sell it if you have not got it. With that I was told to collect the coffee at the other end of the bar. I did remark to this juvenile who grasped the money that she some customer service training. A total lack of management It was like visiting a kindergarten.

A reasonable café bar in the university campus. Rather expensive compared to the other main local university, but good coffee and food. Can get very busy at peak times. Good wheelchair access and clean toilets. Some outside tables, and plenty of indoor seating.

Used to be the best place on campus for coffee. Now they've changed to garage coffee their large is the old medium but still the same price and tastes worse. Might aswell go to library cafe instead now.

Okay, here is the story1) I was in the queue waiting to be served. The cashier skipped me and a Black girl behind me, to serve a white girl.2) I order something and every time they get everything wrong. Once I ordered soya latte, they gave me Chai latte. They don’t asked twice when they are not clear. Fine. The other day, I ordered white bread sandwich, they gave me wholemeal toast. And they asked twice this time. And I confirmed my order. So why? Are you guys deliberately doing that?

Reasonable food and coffee. Ideal for a quick lunchtime or pre-concert meal.There are other outlets on campus which offer better coffee, but if you’re in this part of campus the coffee here isn’t too expensive and is ok.The food is perhaps a bit overpriced for what you get, but not too bad.The newer more modern queuing system means you don’t often have to wait an age if all you want is a coffee or a cake.
