This review is a little late as I visited a few months ago now, but was such a great experience I felt I had to share! Best gluten free sandwich I've ever had! I chose the bacon, brie and cranberry. Bacon was thick and so crispy. Cooked to perfection. Cranberry not too sweet - just right. The bread was exceptional! Best I've ever come across and I have tried many. Lovely service from the young staff. Awesome setting surrounded by nature and the perfect view to watch the tennis and spot dogs. So much thought and care has gone into the place. They even have about 10 varieties of fruit tea, which is my fave. The cakes look incredible. My favourite cafe in Eastbourne. ❤
