Rustic Cafe in Tunbridge Wells

My partner, dog and I love it here. A lovely cosy quirky feel and food fresh and delicious and cooked to perfection. Always friendly and welcoming. We always look forward to our visits. Thank you.

Found this great place today. Really good coffee and great food; we had a chicken and bacon sandwich and a veggie bubble and squeak that were both delicious. Terrific friendly service too.

Warm welcome and great breakfast at this quirky little cafe.Haven't been in for quite a while and had forgotten quite how pleasant it is to have a leisurely breakfast here.Highly recommend.

Great selection of food all freshly prepared. Will suit all tastes. Service excellent. Highly recommended.

This quaint little cafe is next door to my office and I’m so lucky! Best coffee and food in town 100%

Whenever I come into Rustic, Hannah is always ready to make my coffee with a smile. Amazing sandwiches and coffee, would very highly recommend.

Spotted this little gem on my travels , only had time for a cheese and tomatoes sandwich and tea , but wow was it good . Will definately be returning when I'm in the area again , highly recommended , Simon

Go here. It's good. Their sausage plait is what I recommend and their hot drinks are excellent. In the middle of town so very convenient for whatever you have to do.

Really lovely quirky cafe a bit off the beaten track but really close to the park. Good freshly prepared and they adapted the menu for my dietary needs. Welcoming to children and offered food they could make for them. Would visit again.

Absolutely lovely Sunday lunch, beautifully served and so tasty. Full roast lunch with freshly made bread and butter pudding for dessert.

Lovely breakfast menu. Dog friendly. Amazing quirky little cafe. Definitely recommend the french toast. We reserved a table but it was empty when we arrived so sat anywhere we liked. It got really busy about 1:30 on a weekday so would suggest booking a table.

Enjoyed a coffee in the sun at this friendly cafe. The staff were most welcoming and a definitely a place to sit and relax.

As you walk into this lovely little cafe you are greeted by warm welcoming smiles from the mother and daughter team who own and run the shop. All food is prepared to order, with fresh ingredients and they are definitely not shy with their portions. There is always a friendly atmosphere with great music being played. Rustic Cafe is the best kept secret in Tunbridge Wells

Popped in for breakfast with my daughter. Lovely freshly cooked breakfast and a proper stack of pancakes with lemon and sugar, washed down with a pot of tea and a hot chocolate. £18 total bill. Good quality food and friendly service. Give it a try.

Saw the reviews of recent times and decided it was time for a revisit. My 4 stars has gone up to 5 as the food was fresh, made to order and simply delicious. The customer service hasn't changed a bit and it shouldn't. Favourite place for breakfast in Tunbridge Wells, served all day as well!

My sister and I went to Rustic Cafe the other day and ordered the Smashed Avocado and the Scrambled Eggs on toast. The food was divine, I cannot rave enough about the smashed avocado, it was delicious! Will definitely be returning soon.

Lovely little cafe, locally owned, had to come back a second day. Great coffee and must try either the pancakes or the bubble and squeak

Very tasty breakfast, smiley staff and nice rustic atmosphere its so beautiful when is sun-shining so you can sit outside and enjoy your coffee

We popped in just for a coffee. The coffee was great but the friendliness of the staff was what made it an enjoyable half hr.

An independently run cafe which has tasty bites with a difference as well as gorgeous cakes if you have a sweet tooth . Friendly relaxed atmosphere from grabbing a quick something to eat or if you are lucky enough to have time to chill and drink the gorgeous coffee. A regular pit stop for me .

Popped in yesterday for a breakfast roll after seeing the reviews. Friendly service and delicious snack. Handy as I now live opposite!

Visited with the family today and we had such a lovely time - it’s a very welcoming place. The owner was so warm and accommodating; she helped with menu choices, got toys for the kids and ensured that all of the food and drinks were catered perfectly for all of us (2 children aged 2 and 6 and a vegetarian) - for example, the hot chocolates for the children were just the right size for them and also not too hot. A small touch but it means a lot when so often children are given a huge, tall cup with a straw which you just know they’ll tip over themselves or something that is scalding hot and they can’t drink for half an hour.

Delicious freshly cooked food, prepared to your specific request. Warmly welcomed and service was delightful. Wish visited T-Wells more frequently as want to eat here again. Thank you

Just stopped for a few sandwiches, excellent food and very friendly!! Highly recommended if you are looking for a quick bite

Only had coffees but other customers were having breakfast. Not open on Sundays. Some tables and chairs outside but we were allowed in with our small dog.

We found this cafe through trip advisor and we were delighted with this new find. My fiancé and i are vegan and they catered for us with an incredibly delicious breakfast. We have been back there most weekends for over a month now. Its a...

One of the best Burgers I've had In many years

Una verdadera joya al lado de la principal zona comercial. La comida es deliciosa, recién hecho y en abundancia, buen café y una enorme taza de té a un precio muy razonable. Los propietarios eran una delicia y no podia hacer sentir más bienvenidos. Se ha convertido en nuestro ir a cafetería.

Maravillosa pequeña cafetería con la madre y la hija, preciosa combinación buscando después de desayuno, almuerzos y gran variedad de cafés y tés Días felices

Mi marido y yo tuvimos un bocadillo riquísimo almuerzo aquí. El personal es muy servicial y amable, el ambiente es relajado y entorno rush ir a ver de nuevo. Excelente experiencia. Yo tenía pollo y tocino, y mi marido tenía BLT con cebolla caramelised tanto café y pastel de todos él tenía hecha. Muy sabrosa.

I always love stopping off here for breakfast or lunch-whether that be to catch up on some work (great wifi connection) or to bring the family/children. Rustic is a great little find with great food and staff who are personable and professional in equal measure..and always up for a chat! Can't recommend enough.

Personal muy amable y la comida estupenda. En particular me encantan las tortitas y jengibre tarta, pero un poco pintoresco café

I visit Rustic often and must say the toast in particular is a huge hit with my work staff . Always toasted to perfection and compliments a cup of flat white .

I had the bubble and squeak with ham, poached eggs and chutney- it was so so so good!! And then to top it off I had the gluten free caramel and nut brownie which I ended up buying extra to take out as they tasted so good! Such friendly staff! Lovely place, can't wait to go sample more treats!

The staff are lovely, but I have to say how they can't do something as basic as toast! Every time I order toast it is never actually "toasted" fully... they don't spread the butter and/or marmite/jam properly either. It's always really disappointing. Only reason I tend to go back there is because it's conveniently located and I think it can't be that bad again!

Friendly and warm place! Fantastic coffee!! Such a lovely cafe. Can't recommend it enough.Three of us popped in for an afternoon coffee and were delighted with the service. Brilliant nibbles too!

Friendly service, lovely tasty bread, consistently good ingredients and a relaxed and chilled vibe… nice to drop in and the food is home made,tasty and nicely presented, a tiny jewel off the high street but close to the shops…. owned by ladies who care about food - don't change a thing !

Really friendly staff, great atmosphere, good music always on. The most delicious bubble & squeek - comfort food heaven! Lovely big pots of tea too! Ten out of ten :)

Just popped in as recommended by a friend. Lovely chicken mayo pesto sandwich with proper cup of tea. Nice staff.

Cosy and quaint little coffee shop. Good coffee, friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere and tasty food. We had the bubble and squeak and quiche.

I had to make a trip to Tunbridge wells and as I came out of the car park came across this unassuming little cafe, I just went in to get a drink as they were nearly closing, however, staff very friendly and welcoming and I ended up sitting down with not only a drink but a lovely Lemon cake which was so lovely moist and flavour superb. Latte was lovely too! If in the area would recommend a visit.

Visited Rustic cafe a few times now and must say that the coffee's are amazing and also the breakfast and sandwiches are to a very high standard. The home made bubble and squeak is a great addition along with the home made cakes.

A really lovely cafe, excellent food - I had the poached eggs which were served with a delicious hollandaise. Very reasonably priced and the staff were super friendly. Thank you!

Really lovely place...wonderful food and a great atmosphere and lovely staff... If you want a really a down to earth happy place...then sack costa etc etc and go there you wont be disappointed..Recommend flat white coffee....its amazing..Best in Tunbridge Wells....

Where do I start? So I've been coming here regularly since June almost everyday And with the dream team of mother, daughter and Ryan! Always a welcoming face!Defiantly would recommend! Hidden gem!

After completing a circular walk around the delightful city of Royal Tunbridge Wells,we happened on a cafe directly across the street from our hotel on Crescent Road.The Rustic Cafe, run by a mother-daughter-duo, features an electric mix of tables and chairs, indoors and out, and a long appetizing list of sandwiches, soups, quiches and boards; the desserts looked irresistible, though we did manage to resist. The cheese board on this particular day featured two kinds of brie and two kinds of cheddars with brown bread, Branston pickle, chips, grapes, cucumbers and strawberries. My five tablemates fell upon the brie but we still left some on the board. All agreed it was the best brie they'd ever tasted! Hands down, this was the best lunch cafe we visited in our trip to Kent and Sussex. The owner and her daughter could not have been more accommodating. Everything was delicious. Well worth a visit to the top of Crescent Road for a savory lunch amid the antiques.

I have been here several times, on my own, with my wife and with friends and every time the food has been excellent and every time the welcome and friendliness has been great and every time bar once the atmosphere has been perfect.Sadly once we were in and a customer / friend of the waitress was in and talked and talked and talked, ignoring her child who almost walked out of the place and potentially onto the street.We went and sat out side because the girl didn't have a shut off switch and it all felt rather inappropriate, the young waitress was doing her best to "control" this friend but it was embarrassing for her.However these things happen and the owner and waitress have always been so charming hence the 5 rating and the food served well and taste great.Good luck and keep managing your "customers" :)

Owner and staff give you the type of welcome that encourages you to return dailyFantastic Chicken, bacon avacado sandwich & specials Makes my day

Fresh, wholesome food made to order and served by friendly people! Very tempting sweet treats and great coffee too!

Came in on the recommendation of a friend and I wasn't disappointed. Lovely greeting as I walked in by a young blonde lady I ordered a Flat White coffee and was one of if not the best I've had! I decided to go do the Rustic Breakfast it was reasonably priced and tasted great throughly enjoy my experience had a lovely conversation with the girl working about her trip to Australia. Would highly recommend Rustic to anyone!

I work in Tunbridge Wells not far from Rustic and I go every single day without fail, sometimes twice, I cannot fault the food or the hospitality from the staff, everything they offer is freshly made on site, the various products such as the coffees and the bottles drinks are really different and not the usual same old thing you find in most cafes. I'm always greeted by name and have built up a good relationship with the staff, they always cater for any need, their not to strict on their menu and will allow the customers to diversify and create exactly what I want. When in Tunbridge wells I seriously recommend giving them a visit. Flawless

Liked the look of this place so popped in for breakfast and a cup of coffee - even though lots on offer, cakes etc I went for a good old bacon sandwich - a nice cup of coffee too!

I popped in for cafe and I really enjoyed the late was nice and service was great,I will return definitely

as soon as you walk in it feels very relaxed and homely, you are greeted with a smile and a warm welcome, the specials are explained in detail and the menus are very clear and varied,i ordered a egg bacon and mayo sandwich which was made fresh and presented with a side salad and a selection of garnishes...overall an eating experience I will definitely experience again.

Rustic is a lovely coffee shop near the Assembly Halls in Twells and is perfectly situated on my route to the station. The coffee is always great and the fresh pastries taste brilliant too. For me, buying coffee from an independent coffee house always feels better than paying the same amount of money to a global chain/corporation. They also offer sandwiches and cakes, but I am yet to try these!

I love this place! Great coffee and brilliant home made food! Always fresh and very well prepared! Like I have written above its just like going round your mates for lunch!!! Great bants and even better munch!

I popped in here from work just over a week ago to grab a sandwich. This venue used to be called "Perfect Platters" and made super sandwiches at good prices.I ordered beef and horseradish which was unavailable so settled for ham and cheese. For the £4.20 that I paid, I received the following- ham and cheese in 2 very small slices of bread- no butter, no mustard, no nothing. It was as dry as a bone and for the price it was also tiny, the sandwiches used to be a good size when it was run by other people. My colleagues had warned me that the place had changed and that very few of them went there anymore, I now understand why. The first and last visit.

What a gem a must if in Tunbridge. Lovely cafe quaint china crockery and tasty cakes with a good selection of drinks. Just off the main drag so can sit down inside or out and enjoy a brew and a slice of cake. Staff friendly and accommodating.

Rustic was recommended to me and I went along today with a friend and our two children. Rustic is a small but amazing cafe. No issues finding space for our two pushchairs which makes a pleasant change for Tunbridge Wells. I met the owner and her daughter this morning and they couldn't have been any more helpful. They gave the kids baby chinos and a box of toys and did not mind when the kids sat on the floor to play. The bread used for toast was to die for and my friend had the fantastic porridge. Can't wait to go back and try the great choice of sandwiches and cakes. Well done Rustic you made two mummies and two children very happy!

One of the few independent saviour cafes in the consumerist / commercial end of TW. Those reviews already published say it all. Most delicious veggie pie/flan - the pastry was astonishingly good! Veggie breakfast tasty too.

My wife and I visited rustic cafe on a weekend. We're new to Tunbridge Wells having recently relocated to UK. The shop is very rustic with a lot of antique crockery and furnishings. The service is excellent and the shop is a family owned business with Mom, Daughter and Son. The home baked cakes and quiches are amazing and fresh.

We had a small lunch and drinks - tea and an iced coffee. The sandwich selection is substantial and filled with interesting choices, as well as different breads and toasted panini. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Very good espresso and excellent 'fluffs' for the little ones. Always friendly and chatty and it's a sweet place to sit, even on the pavement. The flowers look lovely and the food is a little different to other places in town.

Rustic provide a fabulous all round service, lovely food, nice atmosphere, realistic prices and Scotch Eggs to die for! Rustic also provided the catering for the South East England Art Fair (SEEART) at the Assembly Hall Theatre 26-28th June bringing salads and light lunches together with cakes, all perfectly complimenting the fair and meeting the catering requirements with friendly smiles and service throughout.As well as using Rustic for the Artfair we visit with family and friends and so it covers all visits in the categories listed - we have had just coffee, or breakfast or lunch and have had take aways for lunch and dinner!Well worth a visit!

My friends and I popped in here for a drink after seeing it for the first time driving past. We ended up having food, I had a panini and they both had a huge sausage bacon and egg roll. Delicious food, fantastic service and such good value for money! Will definitely return.

We popped into Royal Tunbridge Wells en-route to Gatwick and were looking for a coffee and light lunch when we came upon the Rustic Cafe - we are glad we found it as the food was lovely (home-cooked), the drinks were served in novel glassware and it appeared to be a family-run business. Definitely worth a look in!

I have had lunch here a couple of times whilst working in town and I must say it's well worth the time. I think the atmosphere and food is fantastic and the staff are lovely which makes the few minutes I have for my lunch very pleasant and enjoyable.Sometimes I also find myself in a rush and have to take out very quickly and thus is no problem here as they accommodate with ease and speed understanding my needs.I highly recommend this spot for lunch and I will be trying the breakfast very soon.

My husband and I along with our 3 children were in Tunbridge Wells when we came across the little, family run yet extremely friendly cafe. As we walked in we were greeted with a happy welcoming atmosphere where we were talked through the menu on the board and told the wide variety of different homemade meals we could have. My young children are extremely fussy with the kind of foods that they like to eat, but that did not seem to be a problem at all with the staff. They provided my family with a delicious, enjoyable meal and experience. At other cafes I have been too the staff were not as willing to adapt their menu for my children. Furthermore we were not just given a sandwich that we ordered, we were also given a side of salad and crisps of our choice. After we had eaten our lunch, there was a great selection of different cakes and slices that we were able to choose from. We were extremely happy with our lunch and time spent in there as we felt well looked after and had the feeling of home. I didn't feel like we had to keep our children entertained to keep the staff happy, they were willing to talk to my children, my husband and I as well as giving us our own personal space. There was enough pram space to have my youngest child stay in the pram but joined in with us, which also gave a really nice feel to it. Overall, I highly recommend Rustic Cafe for a lunch or a quick pop-in for a takeaway lunch or coffee. Great prices, atmosphere and service.
