Absolutely wonderful, people focussed bookshop. This is why I should shop less on Amazon and more in person. The lady serving us (Emma) was so kind. We were traipsing the high street on a busy Saturday looking for somewhere to breastfeed my 3month old baby. Everywhere was heaving and we caught a glimpse of tables in Waterstones so stepped inside and ordered two coffees so I could sit and feed. The lady bought them over and then came back with a glass of water for me, unasked. Simply saying ‘I remember those days’ with a smile. Such a kind gesture which really put me at ease. It can be difficult breastfeeding in public and as a first time mum and she made me feel so safe in my choice. We even got two more coffees and a book to support the shop for how kind they were. Thank you so much Emma and the team!

Several rooms full of books and games etc. There's some seating and a counter serving tea & coffee. I do like coming in here for the calm and a browse. Usually leaving with a new and inspiring book to devour.

A solid Waterstones with a huge range of books. A pretty big children's section too and a few tables to eat or have a hot drink from their in house barista. There's a lot of sections, fiction, crime fiction, sci Fi, children's, travel, history, politics etc. A number of tables with curated selections too. Would say it felt like it didn't have the most diverse authors but that might be unfair. All books priced individually at RRP.

I was pop in just for time pass as other friends were busy in their own activities. Good location just in a small high street of Lewes. Nice size of store with full shelves of books. Now a days reading is so helpful. Staff was good too.

Lovely place to relax , take it in and read. Larger than many cafes, and nice to have a theme other than coffee in addition to coffee

Tried out Waterstones Cafe in Lewes, good quality coffee and range of cakes. The cakes I thought were a little on the expensive side bearing in mind that it's not an actual Coffee shop.

Lovely bookshop with a proper old fashioned feel, lots of cosy corners, but with modern amenities such as coffee and cake ! Helpful and friendly staff.
