About Longport Cafe
Longport Cafe is a cafe in Canterbury, opposite St Augustine's Abbey, which gives visitors to the abbey a place to sit down for breakfast nearby. Breakfast is served all day, and the traditional English fry-ups come with a cuppa. The same menu carries brunch and lunch dishes, including a Mozzarella & pesto panini, along with vegetarian options and afternoon tea. A set menu pairs tea with toast or bread for those who want something lighter. The cafe is run for families, groups of friends and people on their own. It opens daily, daytime only.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often come for the breakfast, especially the traditional English fry-up served with a cuppa, and several call it good value for the portion. One describes a set meal with tea and toast where the sausage was herby and every part was cooked well. Close behind is the speed and friendliness of the staff, with one reviewer noting food arriving quickly even through the lunch rush. Other items named include a mozzarella and pesto panini and cheese on toast, both called delicious. Reviewers also mention a bright, roomy space, a traditional cafe feel, easy parking outside and a short walk into the centre. Prices are repeatedly called reasonable, and a university student and a staff member from nearby both say they plan to return. The only caution comes from one reviewer who says it gets busy and recommends booking, while another found it quiet on a midweek visit. Several close with plans to come back, one praising a table by the window.
