The Sip Lewes in Lewes

Wonderful in every way, thoroughly enjoyed it. Great service and the food has been very fresh and tasty each time we’ve visited. Also dog friendly. Perfect!

Arrived halfway through a busy lunchtime. Efficient and courteous service with owner much in evidence to add further authority. We had beetroot, feta and walnut salad and the frittata and split them between us. Very generous portions, superb presentation and fresh and delicious. Excellent all round.

Went in for breakfast with work mates, a very good breakfast, and a nice friendly boss.

Exceptional quality food at this lovely café off the High Street. We had the most amazing frittata and calamari. Special mention to the stunning fish finger sandwich. The service was also outstanding from a team who were courteous, welcoming and very helpful.

Incredibly warm and welcoming host. Food is delicious and the coffee hits the spot. Very dog friendly and super accommodating. Never met a more generous and hospitable cafe owner.

Nice atmosphere, attentive staff. Very good food selection including sandwich options.

Great place. Staff who care and deliver excellent service. Food wonderful.

Great location, very kind, generous staff and manager

Always a good choice for a "quick , good quality meal".

We stopped in while walking the South Downs Way and camping. A very warm welcome and the breakfasts were delicious. They were happy to fill our water bottles for us too. Lovely place!

Along with 100% of customers present when I visited I was the wrong side of 75 years old. At our age many have hearing problems, finding difficulty conversing with partners when the background noise is too much in the foreground. I saw and just about overheard a lady ask if it could be turned down, and the waiter told them, I gathered, that it was their policy to provide it to all, and that there were speakers all over the eating area. The noise did not vary in volume or style the 20 minutes I was there, which was very tiresome. At 10.30 am most working-age people are probably at work. Casual observation of the Lewes demographic would show that a high proportion of the population is of retirement age, and would like silence, or at least less intrusive music suited to their age-group. I am not necessarily referring to Victor Sylvester and his Palm Court, just something more suited to the clientele than the youngsters employed there.

Me, my brothers and my little girl recently came in for breakfast. We were amazed with the service we got. I believe the male server that's usually in there is the manager ? He was so accommodating. My brothers and I said that it was the best customer service we'd received. I've never done a review for anywhere but this guy definitely deserves it. Thank you!! Oh and the food is stunning.

Very delicious food, good prices and the amount is plentiful

A fantastic new addition to Lewes, has a real homely cafe feel with a pleasant atmosphere. The food was bang on, not to overpriced or trying to be something other then classic good food.

The food was fantastic! We even tried our best to return during our weekend stay. The tuna melt and homemade fish finger sandwich were delicious, and the carrot cake was a delightful treat. Their unique tea selection was also impressive.

10/10 service. The Yorkshire man who was so welcoming. As soon as we sat down he gave a bowl of sausage to the dog. All staff were so friendly and we will definitely be coming again!

We had a wonderful time at The Sip in Lewes! It's located just off the high street, and our server greeted us with a warm welcome and seated us right away. We had made a booking in advance, which is recommend since Lewes can get busy on weekends. I had a delicious cooked breakfast alongside a fantastic black coffee made from locally roasted Tigermoth beans. The breakfast hit the spot, and the coffee was great. It's definitely a place to visit if you’re in the area.

Just go, you will never regret 🔥

We're so glad to have stumbled across this restaurant by chance on a day trip to Lewes. We had a delicious lunch of pork belly poke bowl, tofu poke bowl, and club sandwich, all prepared fresh and generous portions. The chairs were so stylish and comfortable that we asked where they were from. We now have our own set in our dining room! Would heartily recommend and will make the effort to return.

On the day we visited, they didn't have one of the veggie options available - the chilli bean dish - which was a shame and kind of limits the options. Still, the mozzarella and pesto panino I had was okay and the place has a nice atmosphere with helpful service. There were no tables available when we first entered but Daniel soon found us a space. The other dishes we had were the Thai fishcakes and the Caesar salad - all went down well.

I felt so welcomed! The atmosphere was very relaxed. All the staff were friendly and efficient. The Cafe itself is beautifully decorated and full of gorgeous plants. Most importantly the food - great portion sizes and delicious!! I will definitely be back. Thanks guys!!

Very friendly prompt service. Nice sized portions. Excellent food. Gluten free brownies are divine! Interior beautiful too. Served by a lovely Northern waiter. Definitely would come again.

A great brunch spot! Cute cafe in Lewes with delicious food and really generous portions.

A really lovely meal for all the family. Great choice, generous portions and a lovely environment.

Delicious food !!but quite busy !! Recommend the Thai fish cake

A really tasty lunch, and super welcoming staff! The Poke Bowls were incredible. We cycled through Lewes. We were hungry and wet from the rain and the manager made space for our bikes at the front and gave us towels to dry off. Definitely recommend a visit!

We were instantly made to fell welcome and that nothing was too much of a bother for them. The owner/staff were very friendly and accommodating. I love the decor, very relaxing fresh and clean. The food is freshly cooked and absolutely delicious. We came back a 2nd day for breakfast but arrived abit before opening but the owner saw us and invited us in to sit and wait with a cup of tea Amazon service. If we come back to Lewes again we will definitely be back to try more on their menu. Highly recommend this place if you get a chance.

Very welcoming, clean, comfy and delicious. My dog is the happiest of all having been given a big bowl of sausage too.

Delicious food, friendly staff and generous portions. (Ask for the avocado on toast, it is phenomenal) Will come back!

Incredible food and amazing service - perfect for vegetarians and vegans as well!

Popped in for breakfast while staying in Lewes. Wow! The full English was amazing. Huge portion and piping hot and fresh. Service was fantastic. We were instantly made to feel very welcome. I would absolutely recommend a visit to this delightful cafe.

Super friendly service, lovely food, and baby friendly!

Very friendly staff who were willing to make a drink that wasn't exactly offered! Excellent atmosphere and smiles all around 😀.

Couldn’t fault it. We stayed in Lewes for the weekend recently and had brunch at The Sip. The customer service was 10/10 - we were made to feel really welcome and like nothing was too much trouble. Best English breakfast we’ve had in ages!

Coffee black Americano fine. Bakewell nice but a little stale. Fresh today? I still ate and enjoyed it. Busy which is always a good sign. Would return but maybe not the Bakewell Plenty of other cake choices.

Amazing place - cannot recommend highly enough. Outstanding food, and some of the best staff that I have ever had the pleasure of being served by.

Amazing salads and big portions!

Probably the best coffee place in Lewes. Great also as a working location (offices at the back at a modest cost).

Great service, very helpful and friendly. The food looked and tasted great too. The thing we didn't like however was that from our table I could see the chef in the kitchen eating with the same hands he was preparing our poke bowls with though!

Just been here for lunch, excellent food and the staff couldn’t be more friendly & helpful with us and our two year old grandson. We will be back.

Very welcoming, great interior and lovely atmosphere. Great value for some tasty food!

Stayed at the kings arms looking for a brekkie place and was great. Amazing full english and lovely service! 💃🏻

Just gorgeous, chicken teriyaki poke bowl for lunch, really special. Thanks 😊

Really nice food, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff

The tofu poke bowl was incredible and full of healthy veggies! We came back the day after to get it again. Plus the staff is SO friendly and welcoming!

Best breakfast in Lewes with amazing customer service - would highly recommend

Really tasty food. Highly recommend the fish finger sandwich. Really pleasant server too.

Thank god I can’t use my laptop unless I’m in the back room blessée relief!

Lovely hidden gem in Lewes. Had great service, very attentive and accommodating to where we wanted to sit. Teriyaki Chicken Poke Bowl on the lunch menu was delicious. Highly recommended The Sip Network Cafe.

A great cafe right in town center. It was not too busy and allows you space for chitchat and enjoy music. We were amazed by super great customer service. Feel like we were taken cared of by an uncle. There are not many options for non-bread cuisine yet you would not go wrong with this menu. We chose the pork belly and chicken keto, they were super delightful😊 highly recommended 😄

Pleasant customer service, nice atmosphere and delicious food (especially the hot chocolate). My only wish is for more vegan options on the lunch menu

What a little gem! Went for breakfast and on leaving myself and my girlfriend agreed it was the best we’ve had for a long time. Amazing food and service will definitely be going back

The opposite of restful. The pumped-in hip-hop music was very loud and the highly strung and over-familiar manager was constantly yelling over our heads. The cafe is essentially a busy highway between the kitchen and the restaurant. The highlight of our visit was hearing the staff make fun of the manager’s affectations behind his back. 😆

Great menu with really fresh food, brilliant service, nice environment, and all fairly reasonably priced

Fabulous start to ghe day. Great service, great food great dog sausage. Many thanks

OMG what a fabulous restaurant! Food is delicious, fresh and a taste sensation. Staff are extremely friendly, attentive and kind. It’s a pure gem of a place, I was recommended to visit, and I’m delighted I did. I’ve been back several times. Always a pleasure. Give it a go you won’t be disappointed.

Great food and menu. Staff are lovely, can't do enough for you and very kind. Made two new mums feel very comfortable with little ones. Thank you.

Best service in town, cheery, caring, thoughtful, trusting, dog friendly. What more could you want?

Absolutely superb. Best cafe in Lewes. Danny and his team are so friendly and helpful. The food is all made from scratch on the premises, and it’s filling and delicious. We had a pork poke bowl, tofu poke bowl, chai latte, lemon and ginger tea, raspberry brownie, and a lemon and ginger flapjack. Highly recommended and a must do when you’re in Lewes. Thank you for making our day so special.

Really lovely cafe. The wait staff was extremely kind to my husband and I when we were in a rush and had to take our food to go last-minute. The cafe was packed (rightfully so because the food was delicious) and though there were only two waiters they stayed very calm under pressure and were very understanding and communicative with customers. Wish we could have stayed longer!

First visit to Lewes. Sip cafe certainly lives up to its reviews. Tried the teriyaki bowl and club sandwich. Exquisite food and excellent friendly service. Not forgetting anywhere that plays Prefab Sprout clearly a cut above the rest. Highly recommend

10/10 breakfast! The service was impeccable, Danny front of house is an absolute credit to the business!

Had a club sandwich, was delicious, great service , nice atmosphere, would highly recommend .

I've eaten twice now at this delightful eatery. From the moment I walked in with my Cocker Spaniel puppy we were greated with such enthusiasm and warmth. My pup Rocky was treated straight away with a vegan sausage which he wolfed down like tearing into a Christmas present. I had the smashed avo on toast which I couldn't finish so they kindly boxed up the rest for me to enjoy later. My second visit was with a friend and Rocky. Well once again the greeting was the same but even more so because we were recognised from previously. We ordered the BLT which was generously packed with bacon and of course Rocky got his sausage. I want to commend the Staff, Louise, Danny, Brandon and Mia. You truly are an advocate for this eatery. There needs to be more people like you guys in this Industry. See you guys soon xo

Stumbled across this hidden gem in Lewes when looking for somewhere for lunch. The waiter we had today was genuinely one of the nicest people I've met, very friendly and welcoming. He recommended a Poke bowl and my partner ordered the teriyaki chicken topped one which she loved! I went for thai fish cakes which were beautiful and fresh. Id recommended this place in a heart beat, it is amazing!!

Fantastic lunch - massively better than anything I’ve had in years!

The food was excellent, at good fair prices with a lovely server too! Definitely best is lewes!

Great food, value for money and service

Service was very attentive and friendly and several recommendations from the menu. We had a salad each and they were very tasty, generous portions and well presented. This place is not on the main road but well worth seeking out.

Enjoyable lunch. The menu offers a wide variety of options, and everything we tried was delicious. Only one niggle please, please add a drinks menu.

Fantastic food, friendly staff, great food variety with vegan and vegetarian options, superb pet friendly environment. Loved the experience of eating here with my family, strongly recommend it!!!

Really good food, cooked to order, very generous helpings. Great range of fresh vegetables in the salads. Extremely helpful service, offering alternatives for menu items not available. Only in Lewes for a day trip but would want to eat here regularly if we lived here!

Had a lunch date here on Saturday, we were just walking past and took a chance. Danny was so lovely, nothing was too much trouble. Nice atmosphere and comfortable environment to just sit and be in. Wasn’t rushed or hassled to decide or finish up. Lunch was fresh, quick and delicious. Danny knew the menu and what would be good for what we fancied, I mean all of it, but he talked us through it all. Great value too. Will definitely be back.

The perfect service from Danny, helping us with the pram and finding us a suitable table. Food was cooked to perfection and the coffee was hot. 10/10

Superb food and service from Danny and the rest of the team. Loved our meal, excellent value and were made to feel very welcome.

What a find, great service great food and portion sizes, will be back. Thanks Danny.

Came for a full English with my dad on a rainy Bank Holiday Monday morning - Sip was open, warm, welcoming and gave us a VERY good breakfast. Quick and friendly service, good coffee, comfortable seating and chilled atmosphere. Would recommend!

A delightful place, great food and they went out of their way to make us comfortable with a young baby.

This cafe has the jolliest, loveliest waiter who’s so helpful and joyful and creates more than just an eating experience.

Lovely cafe tucked away in Lewes, just a short walk away from the train station with a great selection. Really reasonably priced and all home made. Family run with friendly staff makes you feel welcomed.

Wonderful atmosphere, lovely staff, food is fresh and delicious. The cafe is also very dog friendly!

Such a fantastic café, the food is great and the vibe is great. The decoration of the place is really nice and Danny is an absolute gem ❤️ Been here a few times and it's always a pleasure.

Wonderful food, freshly cooked and great portions. Staff were amazing, cheerful and helpful, couldn't do enough. Well worth a visit for something unique and also housed in an amazing building.

Execellent food freshly made , superb side garnish . Cakes to die for after . Wish we lived closer 🙌

Great service and amazing food !!

Excellent service and excellent food. Would definitely recommend going here!

Always a warm welcome, which is important. Great food and consistently qood.

Fantastic food and a wonderful waiter. Fast and efficient service with nothing too much trouble. Really good value for money too as portions really big but average about£8-£12 a head and we were really full. Would definitely come back!!

Friendly staff, delicious food, generous portions, beautiful ambiance.

Outstanding breakfast, sausages were delicious and nice service by all the team. Best kept secret for breakfast in Lewes.

A warm welcome great food, good coffee and amazing service.

Massive fan of this café. Staff are very friendly, the food is excellent, both the breakfasts & lunches. The coffee is from a local roastery & is great. The venue is very dog friendly. I cannot recommend visiting this café enough.

By chance walked past this morning and popped in for coffee and a bacon sandwich. Lovely atmosphere, wonderful staff. So good we went back for lunch, which was equally superb. Highly recommended.

Have just visited Sips and had a wonderful experience. The scrambled egg on seeded bread with spinach is heaven, the coffee delicious and the service Excellent. Thank you to all

Me and my friend went here for brunch this afternoon, nice place and good food and was served by a lovely waiter, will visit again!

Most amazing lunch here! As soon as we arrived we were greeted with a smile, given recommendations for items off the menu. The food was outstanding - looked beautiful and tasted even better. Danny was out server and he was super attentive and helpful and knowledgeable. Would recommend to anyone nearby or visiting Lewes. We will be back!

Possibly the best takeaway jacket potato I have ever had. What an unexpected delight!! And the complimentary side salad is really nice.

Great food great vibe thank you

Superb. Wonderful breakfast, great friendly welcome. Definitely coming back!

If you're looking for a warm welcome, a piping hot coffee (however you take it) and a menu that is colourful and fresh, The Sip is a top spot in Lewes. I always enjoy the vibes and the menu is very tasty. They're also great at accommodating vegan diets and have bakes and cakes for PB dieters as well :)
