This cafe is amazing. Stopped here for a sandwich before the long drive home and so glad we did. The sandwich (Brie, bacon and cranberry for me, chicken, bacon mayo for mom) was the best I’ve ever had. Nice thick slices of the freshest bread and stuffed full of filling. The small salad on the side was just right and the coleslaw was devine. The staff are extremely welcoming and helpful from the minute you step in. Highly recommend if this cafe if you are looking for good food.

Happened upon this little cafe & what a gem! Brilliant service although they were exceptionally busy. Food was piping hot & freshly cooked. Very tasty. My husband had the lamb wraps & I opted for the spanish omelette. Highly recommend this cafe. Thanks to all the staff.

Nice setting and very friendly service but the somewhat expensive breakfast was let down big style by the quality of the sausage. Surely there is a decent butcher in Rye who can help turn an ok brekkie into a good one? The coffee was indeed excellent as others have said.

Foreign tourist here and the front counter two ladies had attitudes. I asked a simple question about the what “clotted” meant for one of the flavors of ice cream. Younger lady gave attitude and called another older lady who had an Eastern European accent. She was condescending to me and acted like I was stupid for not understanding. I was like of course I am asking, I am a tourist and not from here (you can see based on how I look)? The audacity to act that way when she’s clearly not local either. I said nvm I’m not interested and she said “I can let you try? Just kidding I won’t let you try.” I never asked to try since there’s a sign that says no tasting. I told her that because I obviously read and never asked to do that but asked about the naming of the flavor and the process. Ice cream didn’t even look fresh. Overpriced portions. Never come here. Was with a group too.

The good bits first. Nice location. Lovely outside seating area lovely for people watching! The staff were great cheerful and charming. The food came quickly. The not so good bit was actually the food.. we ordered 2 burgers 1 with chips. The chips were just bog standard frozen chips.. but they were hot! But oh dear me the burger... awful.. very thin patty.. not even sure if it was a quarter pounder. No flavour at all.. not even sure it was beef. No lettice or onion on burger.. just a piece of plastic cheese. Only ate half of mine & offered the meat to the labrador who will eat anything... she refused.. oh dear. Sorry for this review but we were hungry.. & thought well its only a burger thats bound to be ok! But sadly... it really wasnt!! No staff approached us to ask if all ok otherwise we would have said something

Truly the best coffee in the entire east Kent and East Sussex area. We cycle and we have tried plenty of the other cafes but this one is our firm favourite. Every Wednesday without fail we visit. Quick to be served and never get our order wrong. Always good tasting coffee or decaf. Food always freshly cooked but best of all the staff. They are so friendly and welcoming.

Popped in and at the counter saw teacakes so asked for tea and teacake which was then brought to the table. £8.20. Seemed pricey but it was the best teacake I've ever had and it came with a lot of butter (most places skimp and you have to ask for more) and jam. It wasn't until I read a menu lying around that they do two sizes of tea, small or large. I had not been asked and they just gave me large regardless which I think is a bit of a cheek. The teapot wasn't that large either and you can get the same size teapot and a (not QUITE so good) teacake elsewhere in Rye for £6.20. Service could be a bit friendlier.

We called here for lunch while on holiday and what a good choice we made. First of all the customer service was some of the best I have encountered and we get eat out a lot. The cafe itself we ate in but there is an outdoor option was clean and welcoming. Lastly the food which was served was amazing and good time and the restaurant was busy. The choice on the menu is substantial but when the food arrived it looked wonderful. Large portions exceptional food and well presented all at a below average price. I would highly recommend this eatery to anyone visiting or residing around this area just go hungry. Thank you to all the staff front of house and those in the kitchen for their excellent food.

We stopped here for lunch , I had a prawn sandwich , which was very disappointing as the bread was dry & the prawns & mayo sauce was tasteless . I was talking to a member of staff & the owner was abrupt & rude & ordered them to get back in the restaurant . It was not like we were talking to them for a long time . It used to be so friendly in there, but we probably won't be going back after that , which is a great shame, but there are plenty of other cafes in Rye to go to .

Wonderful! We found this gem on a wet and windy day in February 2024. We were walking around with our dogs just hoping to find somewhere dry for a cup of coffee. This is now a firm favourite of ours. The food is outstanding! Freshly cooked to order and there is just so much to choose from. Absolutely no skimping here, there is an abundance of fresh produce perfectly cooked. There were a lot of people and a lot of dogs and everyone appeared to enjoy it there. We now try to return one a week if possible.

Me and partner had Rye Special breakfast and it was well presented and delicious, good portions too. The drinks were also very nice and each came with a Biscoff. One suggestion for improvement: We thought there was too many carbs in the breakfast, it had chips, hash browns and bread... Maybe allow an option on the menu for customers to swap chips/hash browns for something else? An extra sausage? Just an idea for those who dont want too much potato.

We visited here for breakfast and were not disappointed with either the service or food. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because I’m not keen on dogs being allowed in restaurants. I would completely understand if they were service dogs but 5 dogs in a restaurant is quite a lot when you’re trying to eat breakfast and the tables are so close together.

This was our second visit to this eatery over the past several years, not sure if it’s now in different hands but it felt just like it did on our previous visit. This time round we had our dog with us, a lab and was welcome into the establishment and found a table which was clean and had everything you would want. Ordering is done at the counter we kinda lucked out as the table before us were just putting their order through for 10 people but the queue soon disappeared and we were able to order. We both ordered the Tuna Mayo sandwich on granary bread, and when it arrived Wow! We were both given the biggest thickest, tastiest Tuna and Mayo sandwich with a fresh salad on the side (not one of those after thought salads). I’ve see a comment or two about prices here but you get what you paid for whether that’s by food and service plus it’s the location therefore it’s going to have a premium. That aside lovely food, customer service, dog friendly, and toilets on site.

Popped in an afternoon because we fancied a cream tea. Ordered and it was reasonably quick arriving. It was slightly warmed but that was the highlight. The scones were very light, and crumbled too easily. The texture was far too light, and broke up when applying the lightest pressure trying to spread jam on it. One tasted possibly stale.

Came here for lunch on a bike ride. It was ok but should have been better. I had a ploughman's. Service, atmosphere and presentation were fine, but it was let down by the quality of the ingredients. If I order a ploughman's I hope in particular for plenty of tasty cheese. In this case I only got a piece of very mild, rubbery cheddar, and a piece of basic ham (although the other stuff was fine). Put that right and I'd be a happy bunny.

We have been here once before and were really impressed with the quality of the food so we went back when wanting a nice sandwich for lunch. Sadly this time around the experience was not as good yet this place is still worth a visit. The bad: - staff were smoking outside (which is good) but did it right at the entrance so no getting away from it when needing to go in or out - staff were having lunch when we were there and decided to sit at one table speaking their own language whilst an English colleague was left to eat and was only spoken to right at the end which I find rather rude - the establishment is also a shop for some curiosities yet not everything has a price which makes it feel like they can charge what they want - my other half ordered a burger which was cheap and greasy The good: - lovely location right in the middle of beautiful Rye - staff are always polite and friendly to customers - sandwiches are amazing : good quality bread and generously filled - the coffees are really nice
