This cosy cafe is a top spot for people watching along the bustling Canterbury high street, and the best part is you can enjoy a helping of vegan pancakes while you do so. These can also be made gluten free and are finished with fresh, light toppings such as goji berries, dark chocolate and vegan yoghurt to leave you feeling satisfied, not stuffed, this Pancake Day.
