Please note, from Saturday 20 June 2026 we have altered opening hours in our Canterbury campus outlets for the summer vacation period.
The Gulbenkian Arts Centre Café, recently refurbished and re-opened in September 2025 offers hot food and grab and go options.
Alongside the newly refurbished space, the café team are excited to introduce Social Impact Coffee, a specialty roastery with a big idea. Their ethos that every cup of coffee served shouldn’t just taste good but should do good and 65% of their profits go into local community causes.
The Gulbenkian Arts Centre Café also launched a refreshed menu, offering a range of delicious eats developed using locally sourced ingredients.
Whether you’re popping by for breakfast and looking to enjoy our full English, a tasty pizza or freshly made deli sandwich for lunch or back on campus to catch a show and feast over our posh dogs and loaded tater tots, they will have something for everyone.
We are delighted to be serving Social Impact Coffee at the Gulbenkian Cafe.
Canterbury Food Bank get's the vote – Social Impact Coffee
When you buy Social Impact Coffee at this outlet, 65% of Social Impact Coffee’s profit goes to Canterbury Food Bank, the charity chosen by students and staff for October 2025 - September 2026. Your daily coffee helps support individuals and families facing food insecurity in the local community.
