Oriole Cafe

"Oriole is the kind of find you selfishly feel you don’t want to share while wanting to shout about because they deserve to succeed. I spotted the discrete chalk board beyond Sainsbury’s car park beyond the cricket club doors and ventured forth. Walked in and felt …wow! What a breath of fresh air! Spacious seating looking out on Kent cricket green. Literally a small window cleverly left ajar keeping air circulation feeling fresh and covid safe. Loved my flat white with oat and tuna melt, served with small side salad. And where else gives you a glass of fresh water to wash it all down. If your local, be sure to get your Oriole loyalty card. Oriole is an welcome oasis on a busy day,"

"Perfect stop for coffee and a light lunch Tucked away in the corner of the Kent cricket ground Oriole Cafe next to the Sainsbury’s express. It’s a lively cafe with a good selection of brunch and light lunch options in addition to coffee, smoothies and chilled drinks. Parking is limited outside the cafe but there is additional space inside the cricket grounds."

"A Perfect Pitstop at The Oriole During a recent visit to the Kent Spitfire cricket ground in Canterbury, we discovered the delightful Oriole restaurant, a true gem within the stunning surroundings. We were greeted with a genuinely warm welcome and a friendly atmosphere by the lovely ladies working there, who made us feel right at home. We enjoyed a fantastic lunch that perfectly hit the spot. Our coffee was lovely, and the cheese and onion toastie was simply delicious, served with a fresh and vibrant side salad. The homemade banana bread and flapjack were also beautiful, making for a perfect sweet treat. Watching the cricket match from this spot was a truly special experience, and The Oriole's hospitality only enhanced it. We will definitely be back to enjoy the food, the atmosphere, and the exceptional service again soon!"

"Had breakfast with my sister on valentine's day and it was amazing. There is free customer parking which is such a great bonus. The cafe is really spacious and has lots of tables to choose from, this makes it such a delight as I find the cafes in the centre of town can be a bit cramped. The coffee was superb as was the breakfast. I had the Bagel with salmon and scrambled egg and my sister had the full breakfast. Everything tasted so fresh and full of flavour. You can really tell that the best ingredients have been used to make every meal. We finished off with a big old slice of cake which was equally delicious. The staff are super friendly and attentive without being overwhelming. Can't wait to come back and try the lunch menu."
