Simply Patisserie in Eastbourne

I celebrated my 28th birthday at Simply Patisserie on 6 October. Born on a Sunday so wanted to celebrate in style with an afternoon tea with 6 of my friends. My friends and I had such a delightful experience. It is a cosy and welcoming environment with good lighting and very clean. There is a good selection of tea available. Thank you for being so accomedating to my needs for gluten and dairy free and for going out of your way to order it in for my very special day. Thank you for the beautiful birthday card. I had a wondeful time and highly recommend it to other birthday gals to be.

I have only one complaint about Simply Patisserie -- the name. Yes, there are wonderful pastries, but this delightful restaurant has so much more to offer! My friend had a Portuguese tart (custard tart), pain au chocolat, and a decaf latte. Two, actually, because they were so good. I ordered the vegetable quiche, a big slice absolutely overflowing with perfectly cooked vegetables and silky custard filling, plus a veritable mountain of salads, all delicious. The slice of pistachio, honey and rose cake that I also ordered had to go into a takeaway box: several of the Turkish delight candies jumped in, too. We had a very pleasant chat with the new owner, who has plans to build on the present menu with daily specials. I wish her the best of luck. Top-quality food, friendly and attentive service, and a warm and welcoming ambiance.... I can't recommend Simply Patisserie highly enough!

Very impressed with the quality of the food and staff. Staff were really friendly and welcoming. Great experience would definitely come again.

I’ve past this place hundreds of times but never visited until today. Food and service was excellent. We chose from the specials board, Spinach and sweet potato curry, a chilli con carne and a mousaka. We also tried the lemon and elderflower cake which was delicious. They serve a wide range of gluten free food and cakes. Really fantastic value. Staff were super friendly. Will definitely be returning.

We stopped off for lunchtime, what a great find. We try to eat healthy which is difficult when eating out. We had a salad £7.50 and smoothie £4.50 each. Very tasty and well presented. We definitely recommend and return.

Enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea and sweet treat. An excellent range of cakes, to include gluten free options for my wife. Staff very attentive. Top marks.👍

We came across this place from other reviews. Great little cafe with an amazing choice of fresh home made savoury and sweet food. The daily specials looked incredible too! Will definitely come back and would not hesitate to recommend to others.

1st visit today and I'll absolutely be returning very soon. Staff were really helpful and friendly and the food was delicious. I've passed here before and due to the name, thought it was just a coffee and cake place.... but they do the most wonderful breakfasts, paninis, quiches and salads, all of which are really reasonably priced. My friend was very late to meet me and I didn't feel rushed or pressured into ordering. Fantastic little place that's well worth a visit. But do book if going at lunch time as people were being turned away as its so popular.

After visiting three other cafes where dogs (very well behaved) were not welcome, this cafe not only made us welcome but went above and beyond. We had a lovely, well priced brunch. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. The whole cafe, including the toilet, was really clean and well cared for. Highly recommended and far superior to the other less friendly establishments. If we could give 6 stars, wd would!

Great place for quiches salads and breakfast. Great service from the lovely older lady with the purple highlights. Avoid the young stroppy version that nearly led us to leave.. Now I have to convince my partner to go there in the future. Hence the four stars, otherwise it would have been five

Nice looking food, shame about the snotty and unhelpful staff. They are really letting themselves down. Needless to say we will not return.

We unexpectedly needed to be in Eastbourne at short notice, and due to the bank holiday, accommodation was in short supply. This fantastic cafe in South Street came to our rescue providing great quality breakfasts and coffees. Two yoghurts with granola and fruit and avocado, smoked salmon, and poached eggs on toast saw us through until teatime. We've been in before for coffee and cake and will always look to visit when we are in town. Thoroughly recommended.

A vibrant atmosphere. Excellent selection of delicious food, efficiently served by friendly welcoming staff. Definitely a favourite 'go to' restaurant at any time of day.

I visit Eastbourne every year to see an elderly aunt and always take her to Simply Patisserie for lunch. As always, it was splendid; friendly service, excellent food and very clean. The quiche is homemade and so delicious, as are the pastries. This is an amazing little cafe.

Sehr gutes, frisches Essen. Sehr nette und freundliche Bedienungen. Toller Take Away Service. Wir waren auch bereits am Vortag zum Frühstück dort. Super Auswahl. Ausgewogen und frische Zutaten!

We live in Eastbourne and have been here a few times. Excellent selection of hot and cold food and the salads are amazing, best selection we have seen. The choice of beautiful cakes and pastries are mouth watering. Staff are very friendly. We would certainly recommend it.

Our favourite cafe in Eastbourne! We don't live locally so each time I visit my mum and dad (who are in their 80s) we bring them here for lunch-a great choice of healthy options like salads and jacket potatoes or lovely fresh sandwiches and cakes-a great menu with something for everyone and the family who run it are so lovely! Happy, welcoming and friendly, we like it so much my husband and I even went for breakfast last time we stayed in the Premier Inn which was just as delicious! Thankyou and see you next time we visit!

morning coffee and apple tart. that's delicious. no time to try but the other foods but seem tasty as well

I have been here before and the food and staff are amazing. It’s certainly my favourite place to east in Eastbourne and will return again.

I have been here a few times with no problem. Today I ordered Shepherds Pie but when it came it was full of vegetables and no meat. I explained the issue to the young girl who took the food away and said she would bring the menu so I could choose something else, The next minute I had a very rude Turkish woman in front of me who works behind the counter asking what was wrong with the Shepherds Pie. I explained that it was full of veg and no meat and she proceeded to inform me that it was Vegetarian Shepherds Pie. I told her that it did not say that on the label and she replied it was a vegetarian restaurant. i said I did not know that and she rudely replied that I had been there a few times and I should have known. I calmly asked her why she was arguing with me. She said she was not arguing and asked me if I would like something else. Her whole manner was quarrelsome and aggressive. I asked for Jacket Potato with cheese. As she walked away she turned around and said "I don't argue but clearly you do". I said "That's enough" and followed her to the counter. I told her to forget the Jacket Potato and asked to pay for my coffee. She declined to charge me and I went back to my table picked up my coat and left. Absolutely no excusive for such rude aggressive behaviour to a customer.

The food and drinks are outstanding in this establishment and the staff are amazing. They are always welcoming, professional, attentive and efficient and it is a pleasure to come here. Would thoroughly recommend.

Highly recommended, so we tried it yesterday lunchtime. Only went to discover it and have only a coffee and cake. Only two places available. Rather tight and noisy but vibrant. Obviously very popular. Obliging staff but our table was not cleaned well. The food at the counter, salads and cakes, did look appetising. Ordered one coffee with cold milk and one slice of carrot/walnut cake. The milk came was hot and oat milk! This had to be changed. Who wants oat milk? We shared the one coffee and cake. I was charged an extortionate £9. Will not be returning.

Lovely little cafe, good range of cakes and breakfast to choose from. They also have smoothies and juices. I had a cheesecake which was delicious. Definitely will come back to taste different snacks.

Greek yoghurt, granola and fresh fruit, what a delicious breakfast option. There’s plenty of other breakfast items to choose from and Nas will always try to accommodate any special requests 🥰

Simply Patisserie is simply perfect! Had one of the best cheesecakes I’ve had in a while & a lovely coffee! The service as always from Naz and the tall lady is always warm and friendly followed by a smile each time you visit!

I was excited to try the gluten and dairy free cakes as they are hard to find. Had the rose and pistachio cake to take away and as I was eating I started to see white and green fluff inside the cake. Started to taste...

Lovely brisk service with a smile and excellent delicious, healthy and nutritious food make this an absolute *must* visit among the sea of mediocrity usually presented in Eastbourne. Delightful atmosphere and wonderful salads are not to be missed. You can't be dissapointed, only if the...

The salmon and poached egg was fine, my partner’s flan and salad very good. However the coffee was rather odd tasting and weak. I’d recommend coffee lovers going elsewhere.

Amazing coffee shop in atmosphere. Great coffee, food, and service. Thank you for the warm welcome. Even though it was busy, the food and coffee was served fairly quickly 🙏

I was having some friends over and got Simply Pattiserie to provide the food. It was delicious, plentiful and presented well. I would highly recommend Simply Pattiserie.

Chose this place for breakfast with no prior knowledge how good it was. 3 of us ordered 3 different breakfasts and were all really pleased. Fresh fruit on both the porridge and granola and thick toast with the scrambled eggs. Reasonably priced and very friendly...

We stopped by for a coffee on a particularly cold day and ended up staying for lunch, the food was so tempting. Staff could not have been kinder or more accommodating of our toddler and baby, not to mention disabled grandfather. The quality of what...

Superbly clean, friendly and welcoming staff, so much choice from and delicious food. Glad we tried somewhere different for lunch and would highly recommend!

Just back from Eastbourne. This restaurant was recommended to us and what a gem. Fantastic food. The owner is so friendly and businesslike. Highly recommend it for breakfast and lunch. Will use it again when next in Eastbourne

A friend of ours recently recommended Simply Patisserie. We gave it a try two or three weeks ago, and have been back every week since. Today we just wanted a light lunch, and both chose the salmon and spinach omelette, which was very tasty. It...

Absolutely delicious food, amazing service and great value. My new place to go when I’m in Eastbourne. Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu.

I decided to call in here for a sandwich for my husband and a cappuccino and cake for myself. The sandwich was delicious according to my husband, the cake amazing. The service was brilliant along with the staff. It was lovely and clean.

Having stumbled onto this cafe after recently moving to Eastbourne I dont look anywhere else when it comes to a healthy breakfast, smoothie, salad or lunch. The ingredients are fresh, hand prepared and the staff are very friendly. Pay particular attention to the specials board...

We had afternoon tea today it was lovely. Nat presented a great variety of food. The table was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble the staff were very attentive. Id go back there next time visiting Eastbourne highly recommended. Vast variety of lunch dishes.

What a find. They made me oatmilk Porrige and fruit for brekfast and I had an incredible vegan salad and gluten free vegan lemon cheesecake and salad the following day. My partner is Veggie and ate a Mediterranean quiche and salad followed by vegan cake....

I eat at Simply regularly as I find the food, service and general ambiance excellent. The staff go out of their way to be helpful and the food is all home cooked and of an excellent quality.

We finally managed to met up with our friend for lunch after the latest lockdown and all of us wanted to go back to Simply Pastisserie. Great choice! We were warmly welcomed, the tables are suitably spaced out, the staff are suitably masked but still...

Got breakfast here before catching morning bus to walk the seven sisters. Really friendly charming staff, delicious good, great find.

Naz is amazing and such a hard worker. The lockdown takeaway is very good with all measures in place such as; masks being worn and social distancing with hand sanitizer outside she has followed all the tier 4 guidelines, naz is an incredible person can’t...

Amazing food, fresh, healthy and delicious! Amazing customer service, always friendly, cheerful and a joy to visit every time!

Nas supports the disabled such as myself who have great difficulty with standing and walking. You need to get facts right.

terrible. at least 10 people in the cafe and no one wearing a mask. Lady serving was not wearing one. Meant to be take away and are allowing people to sit inside Could not believe it, meant to be in tier 4 and you allow big groups of people to come in without a mask

Mi esposa y yo estábamos en Eastbourne visitando a un amigo anciano que vive allí en una residencia.Estábamos buscando un lugar para tomar un café y un almuerzo ligero y Simply Patisserie parecía ajustarse a la factura como se describe en Trip Advisor.Llamé a Simply Patisserie justo cuando estábamos a punto de dejar la casa de nuestro amigo, para preguntar sobre cómo conseguir una mesa y hablé con una mujer encantadora que reservó una para nosotros.Cuando llegamos, nos trataron como amigos perdidos hace mucho tiempo y todo el personal prestó especial atención a nuestro amigo anciano, para asegurarse de que estuviera cómodo. De hecho, hicieron todo lo posible para asegurarse de que todos estuviéramos muy bien atendidos.Yo describiría la cocina como mediterránea, extremadamente sabrosa y saludable, además de una muy buena relación calidad-precio.Si viviéramos en o cerca de Eastbourne, sin duda nos convertiríamos en visitantes habituales. Todo lo que puedo decir es que la próxima vez que estemos allí, nos dirigiremos a Simply Patisserie.

Lovely salads and humus/falafel etc, I'm a regular and go a few times a week. Service and atmosphere nice.

me encanta este lugar, siempre tiene un gran ambienteNormalmente me siento afuera, soy discapacitado y hay unos pequeños escalones (y pasamanos) para entrar al café. siempre me reconocen que me saludan, así que sé que me atenderán pronto, el servicio es bueno y los propietarios son muy, muy amables y conversadores, me encanta su café y generalmente tomo una rebanada del pastel de frutas de lujo, es tan bueno, el la decoración es de buen gusto y la comida que se sirve siempre es tan fresca

This is an awesome eatery, from the decor, to the food, the coffee, and amazing friendly staff. Food always fresh, excellent in every way. Thoroughly recommend.

Quite simply one of the best mochas and slices of cheesecake I've ever had. Loved the family-run atmosphere and warm welcome too.

Comimos el desayuno más perfecto aquí. La comida era fresca y deliciosa, el personal era amable y muy acogedor. ¡Lo único que lamentamos es que nos íbamos de Eastbourne, así que no pudimos regresar para almorzar! Había tanta comida apetitosa en exhibición que hubiéramos tenido donde elegir.Volveremos ?

Lovely healthy lunch, friendly staff. Seating outside or in. Will come back again soon 👌❤️👌 highly recommend

Simply the best. No where in Eastbourne beats this Patisserie. All is perfect.❤️❤️❤️ I visit as often as I am in town.

¡Absolutamente fantástico! Todos fueron muy amables y serviciales. Tienen una gran selección de comida deliciosa, muchos pasteles diferentes, tartas y opciones saladas. ¡Terminé eligiendo algunos para llevar a casa conmigo ya que todo se veía tan bien! Lo único negativo es que no había estado antes. Gracias por una visita encantadora.

When you go into Naz's patisserie you will know you are going to be welcomed with love from Naz and her food.It is obvious she is passionate about giving a vegetarian experience to suit all tastes. Whether it be for a simple coffee or a full blown lunch you will not be disappointed.The cleanliness is exemplary tables are cleaned and disinfected after every customer not just the tables but the chairs too!! You know I always come in every time om over in Eastbourne just wish you were in fareham and could come more often. Well done to you!!

We came in here for breakfast having driven 3 hours from Dorset. We had a poached egg with salmon and avocado on toast. Absolutely delicious. The place is spotless. The interaction with their customers was lovely to see and the place was full of regulars, that always tells you a lot about a place. Toilet very clean. So good we returned before our journey home for a cup of tea and slice of cake. Super moist and delicious. Can highly recommend. If we ever come to Eastbourne again we will be sure to pop in!

Amazing. Dropped in for a cup of tea and a bun. Well I was spoiled for choice. The cabinets were filled with delicious and temptingly delicious looking cakes of all description. I came away with a box of a couple of peices for later. What a wonderful baker whoever does the baking. So inventive. Thank you

Massive thanks to Nas and her wonderful team for providing an excellent Afternoon Tea today for our group of thirty. The food was mouthwatering delicious and the people who had requested a gluten free version commented on how lovely their food was also.Full marks to Simply Patisserie

Wonderful selection of healthy, delicious food for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Mouth watering selection of cakes. A warm welcome awaits every customer, superb, efficient and friendly service

I have been coming to Simply Patisserie for quite a while now. I have never had a problem with the food as its always fresh and well presented. They have a wide range of Mediterranean dishes. Also cakes etc etc. As I was leaving today Joe showed me his plate. Mmmmm....... Looked delicious. I should also mention Naz the boss who is polite to everyone that comes to the Patisserie.Many thanks.K S JOHNSON.

I love taking friends who are visiting and meeting local friends here. The drinks are always reliably good and the food homemade. It has a lovely friendly atmosphere and plenty of nice individual touches.everything is always beautifully clean and I sense that the hardworking owner takes a real pride in how everything is done. Excellent value too . It's handily situated between town and sea and not far from the Towner Gallery and buses stop outside.Strongly recommended.

We were lucky to get a table at this cafe for lunch because it was so busy with many tables reserved. We were made to feel very welcome and the lady who took our order was very efficient. The coffee was very good and the homemade soup delicious. All the salads looked freshly prepared and tasted excellent. We went again the following day for a coffee and a slice of cake which was lovely. They have got the price point exactly right for the food and we must continue to support these independent businesses to ensure they continue to thrive.

We came in for coffee and cake and were really impressed with the quality of both. We have been touring Sussex and this was by far the best place we tried. The choice of cakes is amazing and we bought some to take home for friends. Everything seemed beautifully fresh and well presented. The staff seemed to know many of the customers very well so I assume they have a very loyal clientele and I put this down to not just the superb food but really good customer service. We were served in a most friendly, courteous manner and look forward to returning when next in the area. Thankyou all.

Popped in to Simply Patisserie today for a toasted sandwich which was served with a beautiful fresh salad of roasted veg. Excellent quality ingredients and well presented food as usual and so much variety. Although the staff were super busy the service as always was quick and efficient. Great to see diversity in the workforce, the staff here are always friendly and helpful. Keep up the good work!

Went in here for a drink and a slice of cake, had a look at the cakes on display and noticed lots of baclava. Sat down by the display of cakes and a young man came to serve me.

Lovely patisserie, lots of choice, colourful decor and food. My smoothie was excellent. Such a great display of food and drinks 😊

Fabulous setting, warm and cosy, friendly welcome. Great food with Mediterranean twist too. Very worth while for a visit for coffee and cake to a varied choice for lunch. Buzzing atmosphere as very popular 👍

My wife and I frequently visit Eastbourne and tend to choose the Pomodoro for dinning due to the exceptional range of dishes offered on the menu and the consistent high quality of all the dishes. Just how they mange to do it baffles me. The selection of good modest priced wines is not so brilliant. Service is excellent if sometimes seeming too brisk for relaxed dinning.

I’ve been here a couple of times and I loved it but sadly after my most recent experience I will not be returning.

Popped here for a coffee but the display of home made cakes and amazing treats are a feast for your eyes! Full breakfast, lunch and dinner menu also available - all home cooked - lovely friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere. We will be visiting again - often!! No hesitation in recommending Simply Patisserie, Eastbourne.

The owners of this little restaurant are very friendly, it’s spotless clean and serves excellent Mediterranean Salads, lovely cakes and pastries. Highly recommended.

An amazing choice of dishes (no meat) but everything so tasty and very reasonable. Best place for lunch.

went for lunch and could not have been better . The veg moussaka was wonderful and the service was great. Cakes to die for. Place was crowded but did not detract from the meal only complemented it.

Breakfast was fantastic all fresh ingredients and nice cosy atmosphere, definitely recommend the breakfast special

A real find if you are looking for a fresh, healthy and very tasty lunch. Food all prepared freshly, staff are a delight to deal with. Reasonable prices and fantastic selection. Great value too.
