A lovely little friendly bakers that does light lunches. The sandwiches are tasty (at least mine was), the cakes are very good. The coffee is good, better than Costa in my opinion.

👎 Loads of staff and no customers (it was around 14:30) but took a little while to get served considering. The young staff member that served me had a stand-offish and morose attitude, like he was disgusted by my presence. Not friendly or welcoming at all. Cinnamon doughnuts were fine. My main issue was the customer service, or lack of it.

It’s about hit and miss with the cakes but I usually order filled rolls for lunch the fillings are very nice good quality ham. However a big put off for me is that no gloves are worn when making up rolls or sandwiches or at least washing their hands just before making it. Please change this!!

We bought a selection of bread and pastries. Most were quite good, especially the bread loaf, while the sticky bun was a little dry. Unfortunately it was a bit disappointing that the staff member we spoke to seemed almost annoyed at us for ordering items. We'll come again to see if we just got unlucky with our experience.

I walked into an empty shop, the last customer just leaving. All four shop assistants too busy to notice the customer at their counter. Finally "ah, someone's here" was said and I was begrudgingly served. I asked for 5 items. One of these was the wrong item (discoverd once home). Three small pastries, Two doughnuts - tasty, but costly at over £9.00!! If I were the shop owner - I'd sack you all.

Tried this two weeks ago on an impromptu visit to Battle, and so glad I did! The sausage rolls were amazing and the tea is piping hot. I think prices are reasonable, and having been several times in the last two weeks, haven’t found a cake, bread, or pastry that I didn’t like, and we’ve tried a lot; bread pudding, Viennese whirls, jam doughnuts, chicken and mushroom pie, crusty rolls, sesame bloomer loaf, iced bun, Eccles cake etc. Everything that a bakery should be; polite service, delicious bakes, and I’m glad I don’t live in Battle otherwise I would be there every day and put on at least 2 stone! My partner and I have tried other cafe’s on Battle’s high street and had rude service, so we will be loyal customers of Battle Bakes and Cakes from now on. Thank you!

Went in here to grab lunch with a co worker, the food was great, but was really disappointed by how we were treated by one employee. My co worker was nothing but friendly and happy and the employee seemed to struggle to even grant her eye contact or more than one word replies. She really gave off the attitude that she couldn't stand having us in the room. Once we payed for our items we went to sit down until the employee called across the cafe that we hadn't payed 'eat-in' prices, effectively asking us to leave. At no point did she ask if we were staying or going. I'm stunned at the lack of hospitality as we were clearly working for charity services. I really hope that this employee was simply having a bad day, and that it didn't have to do with the colour of my coworker's skin. Really expected better.

Staff aren’t friendly at all, even to regular visitors. the hygiene training also needs revisiting. Handling money with the same gloves you handle food with is not ok. I have lived locally for a year and am shocked at the constant price increases…£1.80 for a chocolate shortbread? It was £1.60 last week and even that was too expensive. Its insanity, even with the current inflation. Much as I like to support independent businesses, I do have my limits. I’ll be buying from a supermarket from now on and getting a whole cake for the same price!

The bun and scones were the best we have ever tasted, we loved it! The clotted cream was gorgeous and the coffee was excellent. We will definitely be back and have recommended the bakery to my nan and auntie and will continue to do so to many other people.

I whitnessed rolls being dropped on the floor while a customer was being seved and the person serving picked them up off the floor and placed them back into the roll basket / shelf. Staff serving wear gloves but handle the money and the bread / rolls with the same gloved hands. This needs to be addressed asap. This is not the only bakery I see this. Food having been dropped on the floor and replaced for sale, is quite frankly, dreadful. Please re train and amend basic food hygiene practice asap. Thank you.
