Create Café, the popular grab-and-go café located on the ground floor of the Marlowe Building, will be reopening on 9 June 2026 following a short refurbishment period beginning 1 June 2026.
The refreshed café will continue to serve the University of Kent community with a familiar and expanded range, including freshly prepared paninis, pastries, barista coffee and a variety of grab-and-go options.
New to the menu this year, Create Café will be introducing vegetable salad pots as part of the university’s Right to Food commitment, offering students and staff a healthy, affordable option on campus.
Create Café will also be serving Social Impact Coffee, a purpose-driven coffee brand that donates 65% of its profits to Canterbury Food Bank. In partnership with the University of Kent’s Right to Food initiative, every cup purchased will help support the Canterbury Food Bank and the wider community.
In response to popular demand, jacket potatoes will also be returning to the café menu, a much-loved staple that students and staff have been calling for.
Create Café will be open from 9 June 2026. We look forward to welcoming you back.
