First time eating here but will be back. We meet up with friends for breakfast on their recommendation and were very pleased they did. Food was lovely service was good . Young lad serving us explained we may have to wait a little bit they were understaffed that was not a problem weather was nice we sat outside nice view to pond chickens ducks what more can you ask for. Will be back for another big breakfast . Once again, thanks for everything. I will recommend you to friends and family .
Enjoyed a delicious home made quiche and a latte by the lake Bliss. The staff were friendly and welcoming as well; which for me, makes the experience
Monday... Tuesday... Happy days.... if you dont know the song you're probably too young to get this place but it's still a fun stop for coffee and cake. I tried the bread pudding and it tasted the same as it looked - horrible - but I did need the calories to ride home on. The cakes and breakfasts looked much better. All up, it was a nice little stop on our cycle ride. Cheap and cheerful.
I love this place it is soo nice to take family as a little outing in a very nice area and workers are lovely definitely recommend
Without doubt the best cafe in Eastbourne run by absolutely lovely people
Lovely place to visit. Food was lovely and friendly staff, will definitely be returning.
First time visit, as goggle randomly recommended it for me! Wasn't disappointed. It does seem a hidden gem for sure, as I would have never of known it was there otherwise in the estate! Lots to look at with vibrant, feel good vibes (Elvis helps!). Staff were so genuinely lovely and we were made to feel welcome (there needs to be more people like them in retail nowadays.) I had the blueberry scones and my Dad had the raspberry as we'd just missed breakfast. They are super filling but tasted great. We only managed one each! Would have been nice if they had been warmed slightly as they were a bit dry for my Dad, however we will come back again for sure! Did not expect to see Geese and a peacock on the way out either!
Love this wonderful cafe - gorgeous fry ups, amazing staff and a wonderful setting. The veggie fry up is particularly excellent! The chickens, ducks and geese provide amazing entertainment, and the cafe offers evening events too (Elvis in the main). Can't recommend this place enough!
