Nice cafe with convenient location. They have limited options but their bakery items were amazing. Best part is they open their cafe early so you can grab your breakfast here if planning to start your day early. Staff is really amazing and helpful. Definitely recommended.

Good place to wait for a train and early morning ( opens early). Been coming for years BUT …espresso need to be served scalding. The heavy cups are to retain heat and the coffee machine has the facility to heat them first otherwise it is inevitably cool which is not how espresso is best served. Small point but worth noting. Overall still my favourite.

Having grown up in a small town with three excellent bakers to choose from I know a good one when I see it.
You can't go wrong with Jempsons bakery.
Tons of delicious bread and cakes but being weekend visitors we always grab sandwiches and pastries from them on our way to the beach.
What I love about their selection is they don't shy away from the classics, cheese and pickle rolls, cheese salad rolls, ham and cheese rolls. Sounds simple and boring but they are delicious. Savoury pastries and a must try as well and don't leave the shop without some jam donuts. All baked / made locally and daily. Delicious.

Large selection of bakery things (and hot food) in a pleasant environment. Not cramped unlike most cafés and prices are reasonable.

An extremely popular cafe in Rye, and for a reason. A superb collection of freshly baked goods and local produce. A full selection of hot and cold drinks from the counter plus various cold drinks from the chilled cabinet.
Upstairs seating as well as downstairs. Disabled access from a little way up the street, but once in no disabled access to the counter.

Excellent food and service considering the covid regulations. The staff are keeping themselves and us the customers safe too. Regarding the 'like greggs' comment it is very wrong. The food and drinks were lovely. My steak and kidney pie was great. The coffee cake and cheese straw were also good for my family.

Have been here several times now, always friendly even when busy - which is often. Great selection of food/cakes a large coffee is really large. They do a good discount on takeaway coffee with your own cup. Lots of seating and a handy location on the corner. A good straight forward coffee shop/cafe & a welcome break whenever in Rye.
