The Food Hamper in Isle of Wight

6 of us enjoyed fabulous toasties, Sausage rolls and baguettes in the sun, outside this fantastic little street cafe. The coffee was top notch and my daughter loved her Ice tea. The team were very helpful which led to my Mum purchasing some of their local IOW goods from selection of jams, biscuits, alcohol and cheeses. Great value, nice people and perfect location.

If you need a hamper organised, this IS THE PLACE. Food preferences tailored to requirements, beautifully presented and delivery timing was perfect. A huge congratulations to this business. It is fabulous.

What a find! The best toasted sandwiches I have ever had. Gooey cheese and tomato, fabulous crab melt. Lovely ambience, great service and sublime food - I can’t recommend highly enough

One of the finest flat whites I have had in years! Coffee is roasted locally and is full of flavour. Expertly made by staff, who are super friendly and exude rays of happiness and positivity! I was tempted by a sausage roll whilst there, which was every bit as good as it looked. A number of regulars came in who were greeted warmly and if I lived in Cowes, it would be a regular haunt of mine as well. Definately worth a visit- the selection of crab dishes may tempt me back later today!

BEST coffee, BEST crab sandwich, BEST cheese n ham toastie; BEST customer service....love this little place. Look no further in Cowes!

Lovely little place , first class Crab Melt and locally roast coffee . The owner couldn’t do enough

Fabulous crab sandwich - fabulous coffee - all sandwiches are inexpensive compared to so called posh places.

What an absolute gem.. the bacon bagels, pork pies and scotch eggs are to die for.. Daisy was so passionate and knowledgeable about the ingredients and produce. It’s great to see a shop stocking such a vast array of local produce. The island has an abundance of awesome produce and this little gem showcase the lot.. Massive well done to all at The Food Hamper.. we will be back.. 11/10 review

The owner/manager who served me today was lovely. Very friendly, cheerful and totally welcoming. I only bought a bag of Island Roasted Coffee - something I had been trying to track down for a few days - at just over £6 for a 250g bag... but could have easily purchased a lot more from the deli/shop. Lots of local produce on display - biscuits, pickles and honey to name just a few. (I already have some of these from the local section in my Co-Op, otherwise I would have got them here.) The coffee was given to me in a stamped paper bag with a friendly word and a happy smile. I would recommend the shop for foodies and people who like to enjoy local produce. I could easily return and spend pounds indulging myself! A smashing shop. Worth a look. P.S. The coffee is amazing!

Great little shop which sells some fantastic local produce including Gallybagger cheese and Isle of Wight Blue. Will be back to meet the friendly staff soon!

We have spent many holidays in Cowes, but this unfortunately is the first time we have found The Food Hamper and what an amazing find!! I have never tasted a better crab sandwich anywhere in Europe, Scandinavia, Canada or the US!! It was absolutely delicious - we will be back!!

I had the freshest tastiest crab sandwich made to order from this shop I have ever had you must try them

If anyone asked me to describe the ideal little Deli this would be it. Stocked to the gills with every item you could want for the perfect picnic. The owner was lifting freshly cooked, fragrant little Savoury Tarts onto the counter as we arrived. An array of delicious looking salads were on display including a wonderful looking Red Pepper & Spelt one. We chose Scotch Eggs, Pork Pies & freshly made Crab Sandwiches as we were eating on the hoof. Beautiful Marzipan treats for gifts. Fantastic. The perfect alternative to bland M&S tasteless packet sandwiches. Don't miss it !!

Lots of home-made deli goods. Especially good are their Bembridge crab sandwiches; quiches and savoury pastries, etc

This is a friendly shop where you can purchase delicious home made food or buy unusual ingredients to make your own. Love the quiche

Love this place - lots of yummy homemade cakes and pastries on offer, plus unusual tidbits for a picnic or special dinner. Lovely.

A lovely friendly shop with excellent produce, home made dishes and pastries etc. Their crab sandwiches are wonderful!

Excellent Scotch Eggs, pork pies. A useful stock of deli stuff you can't easily get elsewhere in Cowes. Service with a smile, too..

You can’t miss The Food Hamper as its sits right smack in the center of the High Street in Cowes! You actually can smell it before you see it. You stand there and literally drool! This place is a foodie’s heaven!! From decadent homemade goodies like quiche, pâtés, cake, pizza to locally sourced cheeses and pork pies! They also cater. Surely anything done in pastry can be done by them! Honestly, we had the absolute best fresh crab sandwiches ever from here!! The crab so fresh as though it was prepared only 10 minute prior! We also bought pork pies and they were truly excellent! If we lived here, we’d be in The Food Hamper every single day! You wouldn’t be able to keep me away!
