Fresco in Eastbourne

This Cafe maybe small but it has a massif big heart of solid Gold. The owner and the regulars made my wife and I most welcome. The coffee was amazing as was our very warm tea cakes. We used this cafe all the time we were in Eastbourne and it didn't disappoint us once either for breakfast or lunch, Had a few lunches as well and according to my wife the best cheese toasty ever. Thank you for making our stay in Eastbourne that so much richer

Fresco is a cafe and ice cream shop in the main road to the beach in Eastbourne. It has seating both inside and outside, in sunshine if you’re lucky. It is very clean and serves coffee, tea and snacks, such as sandwiches and baguettes Helpful staff work here.

Definitely the best coffee and atmosphere in town. Klaude the owner and his assistant Gerti are just such nice friendly guys who give a service second to none. Would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Very friendly and polite service. Limited choice of snacks and cakes, but maybe because I visited in the afternoon. Coffee is pretty tasty though. The place is quite small and it gets very loud even if only few customers are inside. I would probably not come back to eat in, but I will definitely get a takeaway coffee on my way to the beach.

My partner and I stumbled across this cafe when looking for somewhere for a light lunch after arriving in Eastbourne an hour or so before. It was exactly what we were looking for and everything is made to order. The guys serving did a great job and we were very impressed by the cafe. We ordered a couple of sandwiches and I asked my partner if she wanted any crisps and we were told that the sandwiches come with a side of crisps. Little things like that matter, as if it was all about money then they could have ignored the comment and let us buy the crisps seperately. If you're looking for a little cafe to have a lunch then I would definately recommend Fresco, you will not be disappointed. Keep up the good work guys!

Amazing coffee fantastic service highly recommend it. The owner is very friendly and courteous and professional.

One of the best latte’s I’ve had. Limited menu choice probably due to time of year. Nice ham and cheese toasted sandwich but had to settle for toasted tea cake as no Victoria sandwich. Will return again next time in Eastbourne as coffee and staff the best in town.

We have only tried coffee and it was excellent! Proper coffee made by a nice guy who really knows what he is doing !! Definitely try it if you are there! Location is also great!

Always a joy to go. Friendly clientele and Claude the proprietor is a delight. Coffee is creamy smooth and right up my alley. Love the outside sun trap for watching world go by and chatting to whoever is there. Has become my go to place for daily mind levelling. and a superb caffein libation.

Stopped for a cappuccino coffee. Excellent, strong and freshly made. Not weak & milky like the chain cafes.

Sat outside Fresco’s on a sunny autumnal afternoon. Cappuccino was so delicious I went back the next day for another. This time I ordered a ham and cheese toasted sandwich. It was perfect and served with a handful of crisps. I was served by Claud who was polite and friendly. Will definitely go back. Cappuccino there is much better and tastier than other well-known coffee houses.

I haven’t eaten there yet but the food I’ve seen being served looks fresh and appetising. The best tasting coffee in town and friendly service. Great little cafe 👍

So many reasons to visit this cafe......Coffee is lovely and the Toasted Sandwiches are delicious . Very clean and reasonable prices. The owner Claude is so friendly, chatty and welcoming. Pop in if you want great coffee, good atmosphere and the best service in town.

Very friendly staff and some delicious food, made to order. I adore the ham salad baguette. I always visit here when visiting Eastbourne.

We had a stay over at Cavendish Hotel just a street away from the cafe, and becouse at breakfast their coffee was horrible we walked with my husband at Fresco to grab 2 coffees and have it on the beach. Such a lovely place, great prices and the staff is very polite. We really enjoyed the tasty coffees and returned the next day as well. Highly recommended!

Lovely little cafe, very likeable staff, helpful & freindly. Good service value for money. Excellent, keep it up.

Good fresh Sandwiches and lovely coffee, good fair priced recommendation, Great atmosphere for all the family.

just been in here and have to say we loved it...fantastic welcome and fantastic service...coffee was really good and our food arrived fresh and also lovely...Will be back when we're in the area again...

Had a lovely lunch in this great cafe. Friendly welcome, quick service and the food was very nice. Comfortable atmosphere and lots of choice on the menu.

I am a regular at fresco cafe as you will always be made to feel welcome by friendly Claude or Lydia, his wife. No exaggeration (as I have tasted most of eastbourne cafe's coffee previously), fresco has the best tasting coffee in eastbourne.

Personas lo suficientemente amables, pero están más interesados ​​en conversar con los constructores locales, etc., que solo llaman por una taza de café, o dos. Según su propia admisión, no cocinan desayunos ni nada allí, todo está preparado previamente. El té se sirve con una bolsita de té en la taza. Toasties de tocino son una especie de tocino dulce, eso no está del todo bien. No sé cómo obtuvo tan buenas puntuaciones, pero, de todos modos, tengas suerte.

I visited with my nana who is a very fussy eater. Plenty of choice for sandwiches and jacket potatoes and a good cup of tea. Prices are very reasonable. Would recommend.

The title of the review says it all. This previously award winning café is brilliant. Best prawn sandwich I can remember in ages. Thanks so much to the really friendly owners and staff.

When my wife and I are in town this is the choice for a snack and coffee. Very friendly service with super coffee. A & R

He visitado este lugar, ya que me encanta un buen café, porque leí los comentarios y porque estoy harto de cara insípido café frío.Estoy de acuerdo con la mayoría de los comentarios sobre este lugar: un gran servicio al cliente, buen café y buena relación calidad-precio.Recomiendo este lugar y sin probar la comida la próxima vez que esté en la ciudad.

When we are in Eastbourne we visit Freshco every lunch time. Best coffee and hot chocolate in Eastbourne. Sandwiches are good too. Staff always welcoming and nothing is too much trouble for them. All in all a little gem.

We visit Frecos regularly as we live close by. Always a very warm friendly welcome, great choice of sandwiches etc and very, very tasty. The coffee is outstanding - the best in Eastbourne.

Very nice. Good menu not expensive. Very helpful staff. Liked sitting outside as weather was very good.

Perfect stop for a drink and snack on the way up to the beach, or back again. Service remains good and friendly, and the staff are particularly helpful.

fantastic cafe close to the sea.warm welcome,excellent service every visit.freindly,clean and affordable.reputation for best coffee in town is well earned.once tried you will return.our number one coffee shop when visiting eastbourne.

Buen café ya que a veces en Inglaterra es muy normal que te lo den aguado. Al ser italiano es mejor. Además tiene buen precio.

Lovely coffee, food always fresh and tasty, especially like the toasted sandwiches and the jacket potatoes. Services is always very friendly and welcoming. Everything is reasonably prices and good value, enjoy sitting outside on a sunny day with a coffee, or in side when the weather isn't as nice, the atmosphere is relaxing and friendly.

Claude and his staff continue to deliver an exceptional cup of coffee alongside a fantastic range of cakes and sandwiches. Fresco has for some years and will always be my cafe of choice in my home town.

This coffee shop claims to serve the best coffee in town, with some justification. The young couple who run Fresco are exceptionally friendly and helpful and their food is first class. Best time to visit is on a sunny day, taking one of their pavement tables where you can watch the world go by, within sight of the sea (and even have a smoke!) One word of warning - if you eat here, keep an eye on swooping greedy seagulls!

Lovely little place in Eastbourne town centre,they do amazing home made sandwich,which is very tasty and very good value.recommended.

Lindo lugar para compartir cafe o cerveza con amigos. Personal muy amable y precios muy razonables. Cada vez que vuelvo a Eastbourne es un ritual pasar a tomar cafe por Fresco o compartir una cerveza con amigos

... guter Kaffee aber mehr auch nicht. Haben uns von der hohen Bewertung fehl leiten lassen. Einfaches Cafe auf einfachen Niveau.

I visited Fresco for the first time this year. I wanted to see if it was still as good as before. It was! For friendly service, tempting snacks and delicious drinks Fresco is still fab. Would recommend without any hesitation.

Visited most days during Airbourne week.

Great food,friendly Service,and coffe & hot chocolate were extraordinarily,really tasty,highly recommended....

Popped in for a ham and cheese baguette. What I got was soft and well sized with generous amounts of ham and cheese. Cost £3.10 but very much worth it.

Love this place, we visit every year on our annual trip to Eastbourne, low cost but decent light bites, try the tuna baguette, really good. Very friendly owner and always a pleasure eating here.

I have been on holiday for a week enjoying Eastbourne including Fresco a clean, welcoming coffee shop. The owner Claude is friendly and always please to see you. In my opinion he serves the best coffee in Eastbourne, the food is good as well. If your in Eastbourne it is worth trying this coffee shop.

We need outside seating .. which there was .... it is a sandwich/meal café. We had a sandwich which I have to say was amazing with a lovely iced coffee (recommend)

We called in here for a coffee as it was open & near our hotel! The next day we called in again. The owners are very friendly and welcoming & recognise you. They have lots of regular clients which is a good sign.

Have used this cafe twice now in the last few days and am really impressed with them.

Love this cafe shop,they do great coffe and very tasty hot choclate,great value for money,highly recommended....

Fresco coffee shop has an amazing position, i is very close to the sea and the coffee was very tasty. The place is very easy- going and a little bit dirty. The service was good and the staff friendly and smiling.

Very good food at a very reasonable price. The grilled paninis were great! Owner was super friendly and made us feel very welcome. Would highly recommend!

Lovely atmosphere. Wonderful coffee. Fantastic owners very friendly and make you welcome every time. We come here every time we are in the area and are never disappointed. Totally recommended

Lovely food great coffee reasonably priced very friendly staff. Always visit Fresco when in Eastbourne.

Fresco coffee shop is ideally located just of Eastbourne seafront and 3 minutes walk from Eastbourne Pier. Great coffe, sandwiches and cake. Excellent service and very friendly staff.

This is a lovely little cafe. Me and my partner stop here sometimes for a bite to eat. They do the most nicest panini's and toasted sandwiches with all different fillings. Great service, always with a smile.

Great little place,tasty sandwiches and nice hot chocolate as well,friendly staff,will visit soon,recommended...

Great coffee. Comfortable place. Really good sandwiches. Use this most Sunday's. Service very friendly.

Been there recently with few off my mates for quick coffee,we order coffee and sum hot chocolate and we all were really amazed by the flavours off those coffee and hot chocolate,it was really good and reasonable price as well,we thinking to go there tonight again so see u soon guys!!!!

Just go there and then you will enjoy. Start with food and finish with desert ( lovely carrot cake, the best one) Coffee excellent Friendly place and a nice welcome

Been to Fresco many times service impeccable always spotlessly clean staff friendly has a very Homely atmosphere and food delicious if a snack and or drink is what you want don't walk by but try. Colin.

My parents live in Eastbourne and every time I visit we go to Fresco for lunch. It is a lovely sun trap, has comfortable tables and chairs out front and the food and coffee is outstanding. They have a huge selection of Italian themed sandwiches that we usually pick from, however they do a wide range of other lights meals as well. The owner and staff are friendly and attentive and the quality of the food and value for money is excellent.

Went to Eastbourne with my mum last week for a few days. We were looking for somewhere for a coffee and a light lunch. So glad we decided to try this lovely little place. Great coffee and paninis, cakes and a hugh selection of sandwiches etc. Glad we found it on out first day because we went back for the other two days of our break. The owner and his staff were so friendly

I was astonished to find such an unassuming place rated as one of the most popular out of 311 in Eastbourne. As it is located near my home I thought I should give it a try again.

EVERY year we travel to Eastbourne with a group of line dancers we encourage all our dancers to grab their lunch in the cafe the owner always remembers our group even what we like to eat. We stay 3 days and eat or drink there everyday. On a personal note he knows I am a huge football fan and puts the games on for me To watch whilst the wife Goes shopping. Can not recommend this place highly enough.

I have only popped into this establishment a couple of times but I have been impressed every time. The owners are nice and friendly. Service is quick. Sandwiches are good and so is the coffee. Value is excellent. Keep up the good work Fresco!!

We regularly have coffee or tea and a sandwich there, the food is freshly prepared and is very good as is the service. The owners are very friendly,welcoming and create a very nice atmosphere.

Since moving down to Eastbourne 8 years ago Fresco has been my cafe of choice.

Great place, delious sandwiches, friendly service and cheap prices. Coffee cake icing sugar was yummy too ; ) From the two sisters x

I'm a tea lover, and don't usually drink coffee, however living near the cafe, I can often smell their coffee and find myself regularly tempted. I'm very surprised to read Natasha's review, as I've always found the service there very good. The owner / operators are most welcoming. If you drink outside, you can also see the sea whilst enjoying your coffee. Light snacks are available, good range at very competitive prices. If you want coffee in Eastbourne, give this place a go, enjoy a great drink with nice views and support a small business (with better products and prices) rather than a tax dodging giant!

There is no better place then fresco coffee shop good coffee freshly made sandwiches great service . If you are in eastbourne dont miss this lovely place.

It was our first time to Eastbourne on 8th Sep and We chose this place from the reviews. When we got there, no one was there. We waited for 5 mins but still no one came. As we were walking out the person working there walked in at the same time, did not acknowledge us or try to make stay. Very shocking!!!!! This is not as good as people make out.

Stayed in Eastbourne in B&B; so needed a good restaurant for our dinner really glad we picked Henrys bistro food was great and good value ,we are thinking of moving to Eastbourne if we do will be using more often

A good tasting coffee starts with quality coffee beans, and Fresco uses the right stuff Torelli Perla Bianca which is a 50-50 blend of Arabica and Robusta beans, evenly roasted to bring out a superb intense aroma with a rich and distinctive taste and of course is all brewed in an real Italian espresso machine, and this is the reason i have my espresso here every single day, but beside a tasty cup of coffee there is also on offer a wide selection of toasted panini bread sandwiches freshly prepared on the spot to eat in or take away, and for the tea lovers there is a choice of delicious cake slices to go with your cuppa, a variety of spirits beer and soft drinks are served here as well, so when you feel you need a break in Eastbourne Fresco`s is your destination.

I came to eastbourne on business and popped in to fresco for a quick bite and coffee which were fresh great coffee well done.

My partner and I consider ourselves regulars at this lovely coffee shop on our evening walks. It's so lovely to know we can get proper coffee (and a cheeky cake or biscuit) in the evening. Whether we arrive when the cafe is bustling or when it's quieter we're always met with a warm friendly greeting. Great coffee, great service, highly recommended!!

It's safe to say this little coffee shop lives up to reputation and serves the best coffee in town!! Don't miss out if you are a resident or visitor this place is defiantly worth the visit! Lovely staff, good prices and coffee to die for!

My friends & I always meet in this outstanding cafe. It is spotlessly clean . The food is made to order and always great value . On Summer days many choose to sit outside . There is a daily paper to peruse if you're waiting for company to arrive . Liqueur is available if you want to stiffen up your cofee !!

We have been using fresco restaurant for the past 4 years the cofee is fantastic, the owner is great lovely to sit outside and watch the world o by opposite Harry Ramsden on the right Ann Martin Orpington

Love the cappuccino and lattes. So friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend a visit. One of few places in Eastbourne where you can get a late night coffee and sit and watch the world go by!

Used to go to all the mainstream coffee places in Eastbourne. Since we found Fresco we don't go anywhere else! Claude is fantastic & very accommodating as well!

On my many visits to Eastbourne, I always make time to pop into Fresco for a coffee. Always met with a handshake, chat and a very welcome smile, the menu of hot and cold sandwiches is extensive and beautifully prepared. Sit on the terrace and watch the world go by with a glass of wine. Highly recommended.

I have been having my coffees, lunches and, of an evening, the occasional cheeky wine at Fresco for a few years. Always a wonderful and friendly welcome, great coffee and mouth watering food. Very enjoyable experience every time, happy smiles and nothing is too much.

An excellent place to stop for a coffee or a cheeky glass of wine after a stroll along the seafront. Unlike many other seafront cafes it stays open late every evening. Always a friendly welcome. I can recommend the latte.

We always stop off for a cheeky wine and coffee after an evening walk as you are always guaranteed a smile and friendly service! Thank you Flo!

This cafe is friendly, welcoming and great food and drink! Flo is always friendly, quick service and smiles! Worth a visit!

Great cafe on the row of restaurants on Terminus Road, leading down from city centre to the sea. My husband had coffee there on his own early yesterday and insisted I had to come with him this morning before we left. It's advertised as the best coffee in Eastbourne and they were both right, it was great and the owner is really friendly as well - next time we'll try the food, menu looks good.

My wife and I go to Fresco at least once a week and we've always found it to be excellent. The chap who runs it is very friendly and seems popular with all his customers. The menu is what you would expect if you are after a light lunch, snack or just a coffee and the service is quick and efficient.

Superb coffee and sandwiches. Great people. This truly is the place for a great service in a nice and friendly atmosphere

A very friendly and welcoming service was followed by excellent coffee one of the best sandwiches i've had in a long time. If I lived in Eastbourne it'd be my cafe of choice.

My wife and I always stop at Fresco for a coffee and a bite whenever we are in Eastbourne, which is often as we love the town. The atmosphere of this family run restaurant is always friendly and welcoming. The service and food is always great as is the coffee. Drop in next time you're in the town Claude and Lydia will always be pleased to see you.

Excellent. Lovely couple that run this establishment. Food is great, fresh and very reasonably priced. :)

Always a friendly welcome great coffee wonderful selection of sandwiches always freshly made and very reasonably priced

We're local and visit here nearly every Sunday, hubby always has the palermo (his favorite) and it's the best coffee in town. Owner and staff always friendly and welcoming, nice family run business and you never feel rushed. I also visit on my own and meet up with friends there but it's always the same welcome. Highly recommended.

Been a regular here for a while now & always get a friendly welcome from the owners ! The service & food are Excellent as is the coffee !! Great setting & Nice Atmosphere!!

Came here for the first time about 4 years and come back every time we are in Eastbourne. The best coffee ever. Nothing is too much trouble. Always recommend to our friends.

This place has the most friendliest owner and staff in the town no matter what time of day you pop in. We live in Eastbourne but this is the place we meet in the day for lunch with friends and take the grandchildren who are little ones who are some times a bit noisy and messy dropping food, the staff just shrug off and welcome us all the time when returning. So family friendly.

Good food here for a quick lunch near the pier. My partner had a jacket potato with ham and coleslaw, which she loved and I enjoyed a tuna baguette, with some crisps. We visited here twice and had the same. Service is quick and the staff are super, really friendly and make you want to come back again, which we will next time we are in Eastbourne. It's such a pleasure when you are away from home to be welcomed with a friendly face.

Virtually every combination of sandwich or Panini going with a few special one's thrown in. We opted for sandwiches, served nicely in triangles with crisps and plenty of filling. Coffee is good as well.

Popped in briefly late-afternoon to get a sandwich for our baby who was hungry, ended up sitting outdoors in the pavement cafe and having a few drinks outdoors. The man running it was pleasant and friendly, brought out her sandwich which looked good, and we had a couple of beers and soft drinks. It seemed a nice place to watch the world go by, and from other customers sitting there, seemed to have a lot of regulars and italan ex-pats visiting.

Great place to visit for a coffee. Excellent service and friendly owner. Well worth the visit. If you're looking for a cafe that's open later in the evenings especially during the summer this is the place to visit, and with outside seating it's lovely on warm summer evenings.

Best fresh food and coffee and home made cakes in a nice Italian family run cafe... If your in Eastbourne visiting and would like a bit of lunch or coffee Fresco is a must to visit...
