Veg Box Café

Mon-Sun 9am-5pm, 17b Burgate, thevegboxcafe.co.uk

Handily situated opposite Canterbury Wholefoods, the bright, bold café has a daily-changing menu showcasing local seasonal organic veg. For breakfast, scrummy spiced granola competes with sourdough toast topped with turmeric-scrambled tofu. Or how about farinata (chickpea flour pancake): protein-rich and satisfying?

For lunch, there’s soup, jacket potato, hotpot (curry or stew), Buddha bowl, or bake (such as vegetable gratin, shepherdess pie, baked risotto). Thoughtfully, there’s a kid’s bowl option filled with whatever they fancy.

Staff are keen to share knowledge, posting recipes on Facebook and holding monthly fermenting classes. And to chillax, how about a free hand massage (available every Friday morning) perhaps accompanied by a turmeric latte and chocolate beetroot brownie?
