ABode Canterbury

you're on the high street in canterbury, which means you're surrounded by a lot of history and a fair amount of tourist noise. abode sits at 30-33, right in the thick of it, and it manages something genuinely difficult: feeling like a local place on one of the most-visited streets in a cathedral city. that takes some doing. the shop has built a solid reputation among people who actually live here, which tends to be a harder crowd to please than passing visitors. if you're in canterbury and you want coffee that someone has thought carefully about, this is a reasonable place to anchor your morning. get here before the high street gets loud.
