Cafe Belle - (Near East Sussex, South East)

Keeva Butler A lovely tea shop with some delicious cakes. We stopped whilst doing The South Downs Way walk and had a delicious cream tea with beautiful homemade scones, jam and clotted cream. Would highly recommend this place for a light bite and some lovely sweet treats.

Dean Kerwin A decent full English at what I believe to be a decent price these days! £14.95 for a full English, with a tea/coffee, a choice of breads either toasted, B&B or fried. They even encourage you to swap items that you dislike to help them reduce their food waste.

Nicola Cunningham Really nice little cafe. Bright and colourful and the girl serving from South Africa was really friendly! We only ordered drinks and some chips to eat outside (17.08.24 about 15:25) and we were served quickly. Chips were brought out to the table for us outside so we didn’t need to wait for them. Will definitely go back - the burgers that the chef was cooking looked DELICIOUS and so did the chicken wings that we saw them taking out!

Bertie Hutchinson Myself, my parents and my big brother have just enjoyed an absolutely delicious breakfast courtesy of the very accomplished chef and kitchen staff. Exemplary service from the lovely Debbie- from the moment we entered we were greeted with a big smile and a friendly interaction. You get the feeling nothings too much to ask and although this is a popular spot, the atmosphere is very calm. We are all vegetarians and the options available are very good. Definitely recommend and look forward to returning in the future!

oliwia ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Open Bakery is, without exaggeration, the best bakery I have ever been to in the UK and I genuinely don’t think anything will ever come close. I lived in Brighton for a year and I was literally living right in front of it, in a flat across the street. It became part of my week and I still think about it all the time. The pastries are so unreal that I don’t even have a single photo… because the second I walked in, I couldn’t even consider taking my phone out. Everything was eaten immediately. That’s how good it was. The atmosphere inside is perfect, warm, cosy, inviting, and just the kind of place that instantly makes you happy. And the staff are genuinely some of the friendliest people ever. It’s not just a bakery, it feels like a little Brighton treasure. They have incredible bread and so many other bakes, but I have to mention my favourite pastry of all time: the chocolate and almond croissant. I am not joking when I say I still dream about it. Flaky, rich, indulgent, perfect in every possible way. I would travel back to Brighton purely to eat it again. I live in the North now, and I swear there is simply nothing up here that compares. And honestly… if Open Bakery would ever ship so far, I will be the first person placing an order 100%! Brighton people don’t realise how lucky they are.

Clive Griffiths Been a while since last visited this restaurant, mainly go to the one in the sovereign harbour for the view. Came in for lunch today . Atmosphere all round was pleasant , greeted by very friendly staff who quickly showed us to a table and showed us the menus. Everywhere was very clean and tidy and well presented. Went for the 2 courses for £13.99 (main & dessert) . Food was amazing with good portion sizes. Didnt have to wait to long either. Great visit really provides a calm and friendly environment to enjoy a great meal. Hopefully back soon
