The 20 Best Coffee house in Lewes

“I’ve been going to this coffee shop for a while now. Their food is amazing, the ambience is inviting and their coffee is… what can I say, you gotta try it. But the star of the show are these Tiramisu cakes (or bites as I would like to call them). Right amount of sweetness & richness, basically perfect. YOU GOTTA TRY EM. ASAP”

“Such a lovely surprise! We were visiting Lewes and just wanting a nice cup of tea, and stumbled upon this lovely gem. The back room had a lovely tea service, including a small escape room game that can be played, great service, tasty scones. It did fill up quickly as only 4-5 tables in the back, so there could be a wait (but it is worth it!)”

“Found this gem of a coffee shop!! Definitely a much needed and nice addition to Lewes. Too many high branded coffee shops take over towns but this one was perfect. Nice drinks and cakes. Will become a regular when we visit Lewes for sure”

“Just a lovely place to eat and relax in Lewes. Attentive and kind service, excellent food, a real local treasure. We chose fish fingers sandwich, Croque Monsieur and chicken poke. All were really good and very proudly presented to us. Well worth a visit.”

“Fabulous independent roastery/caf where you can get a far superior coffee fix than any of the mainstream high street places. Nice industrial space and atmosphere. Didn't try any food so I can't speak on that front, but most importantly, my espresso was excellent. Will stock up on beans next time I pass by.”

“My favourite cafe, fully recommend!!! Food is very tasty and the menu is exciting. The staff are all absolutely lovely, especially Tyler who is so welcoming, friendly, and attentive. I come here when I am working from home in the area, I usually stay here for the day and have breakfast, lunch and coffees. There is good wifi and free parking outside. Can’t fault it and I’m looking forward to my next visit!”

“Nice little place to pick up great tasting coffee.”

“I stopped in here for a takeaway and it was very cool. Bit of a hidden gem I didn't realise was here. Quite spacious and good to hang out for an hour with a friend or a laptop.”

“Great Pitts-Stop for some well earned lunch.”

“Absolute Perfection: Top-Tier Coffee and Cake in Town!I stopped by Trading Post Coffee Roasters and can honestly say this is the best coffee experience I've had in ages. I ordered their classic pairing: a Flat White and a slice of Coffee Cake, and both were flawless.The Flat White was absolute liquid gold. It had perfectly extracted espresso with a deep, rich flavor, and the microfoam was silky smooth—a true sign of a skilled barista. It was the ideal temperature to savor right away.The Coffee Cake was the perfect companion. It was incredibly moist, packed with rich coffee flavor and spice, and had the most delicious crumb topping. It paired flawlessly with the bold coffee.Beyond the drinks and food, the atmosphere is fantastic—bustling but cozy, clearly a spot where people care deeply about the craft. If you're looking for genuinely top-notch coffee and baked goods, look no further. Five stars all the way!”

“Was here nearly two years ago and remembered the very friendly staff so sought it out when I visited again. Exactly the same; I’m not sure of the man’s name but he provides exemplary customer service.”

“My favourite Costa with nice outdoor place.”

“Had a nice visit to this franchise today to grab a quick coffee while waiting for a train. Served by a nice guy who was fast and really polite to everyone. It’s a good branch to have as the Runaway coffee place past the ticket barriers don’t take cards.”

“Finn and Brett are stars...so professional, friendly and efficient...Costa are very lucky to employ them. Coupled with excellent coffee,what's not to like? Thoroughly recommend.”

“Favourite place for coffee. Love the baked goods too. Best cookies ever”

“A wonderful place to start your morning ☕️Tasty coffee, delicate pastry, excellent service.”

“Fabulous independent Coffee shop. Fabulous coffee and breakfast Excellent service. Highly recommended.”

“Quirky little tea shop in a post office full of charm and character. A returning customer as just love it here. Booking advised as can get busy. Garden is country rambling with fresh cut flowers in small jars on your table and hand stitched table cloths. Different areas around the garden depending on the mood you want - under a sailing sheet gazebo, small tables, iron tables, for two / four or more persons. Tea sets are vintage-esque with a selection of china / silver style tea pots. Scones come on tiered cake plates; 4 ‘no crust’ sandwich fingers per person + a huge slice of cake (have had a dry slice on one visit hence 4 not 5 on the score). Many varieties of tea + hot chocolate \ coffee available and alcohol to accompany your cream tea if you want. Savouries also available but not tried yet. Toilet available and found by meandering through the kitchen garden - rustic charm! A charming place to relax away the afternoon and leave feeling very full. One item to note - 10% service charge automatically added to your bill.”

“Went here to watch one of the film that was on during the week (Urchin) and had a wonderful experience. Very smooth process from booking online, arriving and interacting with very friendly staff. Then the actual theatre. Absolutely comfortable 10/10. Very clean environment; comfortable seating; and the sound system was perfect. Literally had a better movie experience here than I did at a much larger operated cinema 2 days prior.”

“We had a delicious brunch time snack at the cafe du jardin. The entrance way is unassuming but don't let that fool you, this rustic restaurant serves delicious bites and thirst quenching drinks in a relaxed and informal French cafe style both outdoor and indoor tables and believe me this place gets busy. Our server, Albie was an absolute gem, he worked hard to ensure no one was waiting, very attentive and capable. As you can see from my photos the food is excellent. However I wished I had ordered one of the tasting plates as they look fantastic.”

“Service was fast and food delicious. Got 3 small tapas plates which was perfect for my appetite. I particularly loved the veggie quesadillas. Also got a free soft drink with it (tapas Tuesday). The veggie options are great and diverse. The ambience in the evening is great although the music a bit loud. Great for a meal with a friend!”

“The best place BY FAR for drinks and snacks at the station. Great selection of cakes, sandwiches, drinks (including alcohol) Eat/drink in the place, or tske aeay. Real tea.”

“I love this cafe. Staff are super friendly and it's really cosy inside!”

“Thank you very much for your very kind service today to my elderly friend who's birthday it was today. He was very touched by the unexpected surprise. He has been coming to your lovely cafe for years and will continue to do so because the food and staff are wonderful Keep up the great work!! Xx”
