Ripe Village Stores in Wealden

After a walk from Berwick station we pop in on a Saturday just in time (well a bit late actually but they accommodated us with a smile) to catch a coffee and cake. Pity they close at 1pm on a Saturday. The staff were very friendly and the place looks and feels great. The coffee and cakes were excellent!

They are a fantastic resource for the village and long may it continue. The staff are very friendly and they sell a lovely wide range of essentials as well as treats, hot food such as a good breakfast at the weekend or a hot bacon sandwich any time, superb local meats and pies, some great booze etc. etc.I always enjoy visiting and wish them well

Exceptionally friendly and welcoming staff. Very good coffee. Local produce available. Sadly lack of parking. Pop up pub on occasion.

Ripe village stores is a regular refreshment stop for Heathfield Cycle Club. It never fails! The coffee is delicious with cakes and savoury bites available too. Today we arrived with 18 members and they still served us promptly with a smile. Great place to visit. Thanks to all the staff

Just had a beautiful walk from Ardingly, Selmeston, Chalvington to Ripe! Stopped for lunch at the Olde Post Office/Village Stores in Rip! Food home cooked, fresh, good value and warm friendly service! We will be back!

Lady who served me in the post office was so helpful. Shop clean tidy and very friendly , would definitely return

Nice cakes and coffee served in small village shop. Lots of interesting things for sale. Well worth the effort of finding it

What a lovely place to stop off on our cycling trip. The owner was a delight, friendly, funny and accommodating to our requests. The food was of a good quality and the overall friendliness makes me want to return. Thanks.

Very cute cafe/village shop. Staff were lovely and helpful. When I went in the atmosphere was charming. I purchased a steak and ale pie to take home and cook and it was delicious, it looks like there are events such as a pop up pub on soon which I'll return to check out

This is a lovely little cafe which I have visited a couple of times. Service can be haphazard though and staff don’t seem to be able to cope well with an influx of customers. I am recently vegan and I didn’t find it vegan friendly. Staff were reluctant to open a carton of soya milk for me to have with my tea saying it would be wasted. Staff commented that they ‘don’t get vegans in here’ which probably wasn’t meant to be rude but was dismissive of someone’s life choice. I won’t rush back.

We had passed the store many time when out riding but now it serves food and drink we have stopped many times. Always a friendly welcome. Cheese scones are delicious and worth a detour. Certainly value for money.

The extremely quiet little village off Ripe near Lewes has a delightful attraction: The Village Store/Post Office and Cafe. We fell into it after a walk in the countryside on a Bank Holiday, and were warmly greeted by the ladies who run the place, helping with dietary needs and going out of the way to be helpful. Not a place for Haute Cuisine, but plentiful and nourishing snacks, sandwiches, tea menus etc...using fresh local ingredients.
