We stopped for coffee and cake and struggled to find a seat, number control of customers was not controlled and it wasn’t a relaxing morning break. We will not be re visiting

Visited for a light lunch, food was of high quality and good value, large selection. opted to sit in, as first time visitors we were unsure what was on offer, and we weren't offered menus. Got up from the table to browse in the display, when we were ordered back to our seats by a staff member! Perhaps just being covid officious? Made deciding what order difficult! Menus would be a suggestion! Would definatley return

I have visited this place on a number of occasions and always really enjoyed the huge variety of cakes and pastries on display- always something different (although the bacon and cheese turnover is a personal favourite) and I always take something home for the family when passing. The coffee is nice and strong- as I ask for it- and I can recommend highly. The presence of lots of passing trade and regular visits from cycling clubs indicate that it's not just me who is a satisfied customer.

We were visiting Alresford and ended up here as a cheaper alternative to the nearby pubs. The staff were great and the food was good. We then went for a walk along the river and returned for some cake and had the same great service. We were a group of seven and they did everything to get us seated together. Great all round!

As a stranger to Alresford I asked in the toy shop for a recommendation for a light lunch. Heidi's was perfect! Hot rolls, pasties and 'things' on toast, or cold baps or sandwiches. Cakes available from the patisserie which looked gorgeous. Plentiful tea or coffee. And a welcome second to none! I'll be back again.

Popped in here on a miserable wet day. The ladies were very chatty and cheered us up. Good selection of cakes and drinks, hot and cold food. Clean friendly place in the centre of Alresford. Very handy for pies and food to take away when visiting the Watercress line Railway, only a two minute walk away. Recommended.

We rocked up completely soaked after riding for several hours in the pouring rain. They gave us bin bags to cover the seats, took our order at the table, refilled our water bottles, and served us in double quick time. They were smiling and friendly the whole time, and the food was delicious. Excellent experience!

…from this bright corner café-bakery – now the lunch spot of choice on our occasional visits to Alresford. The particularly tasty fresh quiches are made daily on the premises by the ladies behind the counter. As usual, most of the other customers appeared to be regulars – always a good sign. Recommended.

tried to get a table but were none, very small place, everyone sitting around, they had finished their lunches but no one moving off the tables. Staff were not that friendly either, no suggestion of coming back, or if someone was about to pay etc... so with that we ordered some jam doughnuts to take away and some fresh bread, 6 doughnuts were £7.20!!! ridiculous price and they were awful, so doughy and absolutely laded with sugar, to the extreme!. My husband who was not with us when bought, said it was the worse tasting doughnut ever, even though they looked lovely. Bread was over £3 a loaf and was not that great at all. overall glad we did not stay for lunch, so expensive for a coffee shop, over rated and poor quality even though items looked very nice.

Visited here with a few members of my family for lunch and treats. The staff were so so bubbly and smiley, you could tell straight away that the patisserie had a warm friendly feel to it. The food display was amazing, we had a few complex dietary requirements that were expertly catered for and were attended too very well. The cakes and pastries were so good it was hard to make a choice. We will definitely be going back there. A wonderful experience. P.S. The Christmas window display is the best in Alresford if not Hampshire. 😊

We stopped for a coffee but stayed and had lunch here on Saturday . Homemade quich with salad and hot drink for just over £5 meal deal, my husband had a Cornish pastie which was full to the brim with meat and veg, we had florentine and iced ring doughnut plus cappuccinos, it was so good we went back to their branch in Petersfield this week. But the staff in Alresford were much more attentive and on the ball. Food as good in both.

You just have to love the tempting array of cakes and bread on display at Heidi's, however you have to have a full purse to buy a bag of cakes. I visit there occasionally when I want to treat myself, but with most cakes around £1.50 and cream cakes even more, it turns out quite expensive when treating the grandchildren. Having said that though they are always delicious.

We came here before a trip on the watercress line. Lovely staff, very friendly, and the food was superb. We all had coffees and delicious cakes. What was nice to note was that the cafe was airy and light and very clean, which was good. We bought sandwiches to take away for a picnic later in the day (delicious) plus more cake for dessert (also delicious!) and then we even bought watercress and cheese scones for our supper that evening and they were also great! Come here everybody, it’s quaint, clean and yummy!

Worst bacon sanger ever. Me and my pal asked to share a large baguette as the smaller ones looked burnt. We were charged for 4 bacon rolls. The halved baguette had 3 half cooked slices of low quality bacon inside. As you can imagine the disappointment that loomed over us was extreme. How does six slices of bad bacon ammount to the cost of four rolls just because we shared a slightly larger loaf of crunchy bread whichh could break the tusks off a walrus. oh the pear and sultana slice which my pal said would be great was raw. I feel sick now from the food and from the dent in the wallet.

We had mid morning coffee and 'cake' at Heidi's. My friend ordered a cheese scone and butter which she said was very cheesy and delicious. I had a Danish which was very good. The coffee was excellent. There was a special offer for 'morning coffee and cake/scone' so the price was very reasonable. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Mi marido y yo en este café a eso de las 10 de la mañana, miércoles 5 de julio de 2017 había una pareja que había sido atendida. Nos sentamos en una mesa y esperamos como dos personal conversamos detrás del mostrador, una tercera apareció con una bandeja como uno de los dos venía hacia nosotros, entonces paramos y fuimos detrás del mostrador y se tradujo en los tres charlando detrás del mostrador mientras nos sentamos y esperamos por el servicio. Por desgracia, es evidente que no íbamos a ser servidos o con un reconocido efectivamente con usted en un segundo 'nada, ni interacción alguna. Esto es inusual, ya que he estado en este café muchas veces en el pasado y pasamos una buena cantidad de dinero y personal ha sido siempre servicial. A medida que tomamos nuestro tren a mediados de la estación hasta la Calle Hants el otro extremo de este café donde el servicio era fantástico. Que tendrá que pasar algún tiempo antes de que reconsideren Heidi Alresford como un lugar para visitar para la comida y la bebida.

£11 for two savoury items, two sweet and two hot drinks. At many other cafes it would cost at least double this! Staff incredibly friendly and attentive and food fresh and delicious! My only point for improvement would be the coleslaw: it didn't seem to have the purple of the cabbage or the orange of carrot so lacked colour and flavour. The mayonnaise was also too thick and creamy. Other than that it'd be five stars from us! Definitely five on customer service though.

Superb, bright little lunch spot in West Street. Just right for a quick bite.We both opted for the day’s Special – Welsh Rarebit – an old favourite of mine.Heidi’s version is as good as the one my old Nan used to do. And that ain’t an accolade I award very often! Good thick bread with a generously tasty rarebit topping accompanied by a very pleasant apple chutney: delicious and nutritious.We also decided to take home some of the Quiche slices which proved up to the same standard.Recommended – we will be back.
