Had a delicious cream tea, the scone was warmed up too (nice touch). Sat outside at the only free table - it was on a bit of a slope, which wasn't ideal as the plate wanted to slide off the glass table. Quite noisy traffic as well, but still quite pleasant sat in the sun.

Cute cafe with a really friendly young guy serving us. Lots of vegan options, including the three bean soup, which was delicious. I will be going back for the vegan cherry shortbread.

Called in here for lunch today while cycling with a friend. We had visited a few weeks ago and this time we knew exactly where we were heading. We sat outside at a table on the pavement and noted that the cafe was very busy inside. Today we had lovely toasted sandwiches and coffee. The ladies who run the cafe are very welcoming and the atmosphere was really friendly. We didn't have any cake but there was a great selection at the counter and it all looked delicious. Recommended.

Discovered this lovely little cafe in Steyning. Good coffee and a taste tuna melt left no room for cake so I took some home to try later. The new banana apple and caramel cane was delicious as was the chocolate slice. I’ll definitely visit again.

Wonderful independent tearoom with a very well thought-out menu. Good size portions with vegan and gluten free options. Creative kid's menu and a selection of cakes to die for. Very customer focussed. Clearly a local's favourite. Reasonably priced. Whether it's a tea or coffee or a filling light snack, you won't be disappointed.
