Cafes in East Grinstead

“A surpringly good tea shop just off of the EG High Street. My friend bought me a tea here a little while back ago, and it was really a cosy little place to sit in and natter. Good place.”

“A really good local tea shop, cafe, and restaurant of long standing in the town centre. Run by a local area Turkish Cypriot family who have together given many decades of dedicated service to the people and town center of East Grinstead with their various food, ice cream and other businesses. Helpful and friendly family run business service.In past years it is somewhere I liked to sit with friends and enjoy a coffee. Or enjoy a small meal in company here. Years ago I attended evening dinner meetings here too with the local church Alpha group dinner talks.(This is also notably apparently a business mentioned in the memoirs of an early noughties foreign service intelligence agent of the Zimbabwean government. At the time President Mugabe was still in power, around time our Prime Minister was Tony Blair, or around/just after perhaps that time period. Listed in his book of his life story as somewhere he had once met with a contact. Travelling down to East Grinstead by train from London specifically to collect information of intetest supplied to him by a source contact. I'm trying to remember the name of that chap's book that I read this in, at a second hand bookshop in my travels. It has slipped my mind. Kicking myself I didn’t buy that book now really! Wouldn't have to try then to go by memory alone. But it can only mean this cafe in that book and nowhere else. There is only one cafe on the corner of Railway Approach in East Grinstead in West Sussex, opposite the Railway pub. Bluebells Cafe. Has to be this one. )”

“Such a lovely place to go. Something for all to enjoy! Me and my daughter love having a browse or a quiet read here.”

“Really lovely little cafe. Perfect place to relax where you will be well looked after with delicious food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend.”

“Love this place. Went for drinks one evening and felt like I had found an absolute gem. Great old school rock music, lovely Japanese lager and brilliant vibe.”

“Friday afternoon you wouldn’t expect too much atmosphere and we didn’t eat. But the pub and landlord are very welcoming, great friendly ”

“Lovely friendly staff, always attentive and chatty! Would recommend as a regular coffee spot, lots of comfy seating too.P.S wheelchair accessible location with loo availableWheelchair accessibility: Disabled loo available”

“Always great in this place. Amazing staff, quick service and comfortable to sit and relax in!”

“Its a Greggs, not sure theres much more to say than that, staff seem friendly enough, but not big enough for an in store seating area, useful if your around town and hunger is burming a hole in your stomach”

“Much improved after the makeover. Still lacking in natural light, but they can't do much about it. Now they just need to keep it looking nice. Only issue was the member of staff only offered medium or large drinks. Obviously trying to upsell from regular!”
