founded by three friends with a passion for creating somewhere that feels as good as the coffee tastes. Its eye-catching setting on the town’ s cobbled streets, bold red logo and passionate team of baristas have made it a tempting stop while exploring the historic town.
If you’ re looking for something a little different to your average coffee, Ours isn’ t afraid to shake things up a bit with changing its weekly menu of specials, which could be anything from an iced tiramisu latte topped with mascarpone cold foam and, of course, a ladyfinger, to a white chocolate and gingerbread coffee, available iced or hot, for a seasonal sweet treat in a cup.
While you’ re there, don’ t forget the pastries. Pair your speciality coffee with one of Ours’ freshly made delights, from rich chocolate twists to warm cinnamon buns, before taking your coffee for a stroll through the historic Faversham Market Place.
What to order: Maple and cinnamon latte, or go seasonal with an autumnal pumpkin spiced latte!
FRINGE + GINGE COFFEE, CANTERBURY fringeandgingecoffee
Now settled in Canterbury, Fringe + Ginge Coffee has created a warm and inviting space just off the city’ s busy streets, offering a welcoming atmosphere where coffee lovers can slow down, catch up and enjoy a little time away from the hustle and bustle.
There is plenty to choose from behind the counter; whether you fancy an oat milk latte or a velvety flat white, you can pair your brew with a slice of toasted banana bread or one of their cardamom and pistachio buns for something sweet. If savoury is more your thing, there’ s a harissa-grilled cheese or a kimchi toastie to tuck into. The cafe is just as suited to a friendly catch-up as it is to a quiet study session, where you can switch off and, ideally, stay for one more coffee.
What to order: A rich, chocolatey mocha.
