Tunbridge Wells’ Café with a Cause
When visiting The Philanthropist, you may notice a collection of books out for sale. Every book purchased from our cosy coffee shop supports an important cause, making your visit more than just a coffee break. We’re not trying to save the world – our goal is pretty simple: to provide a welcoming space where you can enjoy quality coffee and treats while also giving back to our neighbourhood, community, and beyond.
Every time you buy a book from our cafe, we’ll donate the proceeds to Tunbridge Wells Mental Health Resource.
