The Best Cafes in East Tisted, Hampshire, United Kingdom (2025)

So this review is for my recent mail order of coffee beans - Celestial and Tiger Stripes blend. I have ordered ground in the past but we’ve now moved to grinding our own beans. Tried both these now and they are absolutely lovely. The tiger stripes in particular is gorgeous! They put commercial supermarket blends to shame and it’s a much better experience than a high st chain. The delivery was swift as well. Thank you.

I’ve been twice now and will continue to go back. I had a Thai Milk Tea the first time which was absolutely incredible. Had no idea what to expect but that has quickly become my new favourite drink! The next time, I had the iced version which was just as yummy. I drank it in seconds! Super friendly and helpful staff too, great coffee shop

It’s my second time going here and I’m really impressed. The coffee to go tastes MILES better than you’d get at Costa/Starbucks. The staff are lovely. Previously I queried how to use a moka pot and was given a full intro for it by the lady serving me (she was so patient!) and today’s employee was also very friendly. I’m enjoying the fresh coffee grounds at home too, and just really looking forward to trying more blends!

The best place for miles and miles. I’m a qualified Barista and home coffee nerd and this places always excels. Roasted on site and made beautifully. Always worth going out of my way to come here. Thanks

Stopped here for lunch today after walking around Old Winchester Hill nearby. I'm so glad we did! Despite being busy, we managed to grab a table and food arrived within 10 minutes or so. We had the mozzarella, tomato and basil pesto panini and the goats cheese, avocado and salad sandwich. Both were really fresh and delicious. Two small improvements would have been the panini being a bit hotter and more avocado in the sandwich as it was very thinly sliced but, we will definitely be back to try some of the other delicious food we saw coming out of the kitchen. Really reasonable prices too.

Lovely home-cooked food in a beautiful setting

Wonderful #Dog friendly place to go if you want a menu that is largely vegan or vegetarian. From the (regularly changing) specials board we chose Burger with Wedges, Macaroni Cheese and Burritos with Sour Cream and Corn Chips. OMG all the food was completely delicious and completely surpassed my expectations. We also had a large pot of tea which was MASSIVE and vegan chocolate cake. The specials board changes every 2 weeks so looking forward to future visits. There's parking nearby, and a flat path to the entrance.

Really lovely little cafe that’s situated in The Sustainability Centre. Staff were friendly and very accommodating. All the food is vegan and vegetarian and tasted really fresh. I had the vegan lasagne, which was really delicious. I also had a few glasses of their cloudy apple juice. It’s also dog friendly.

Super friendly staff with a lovely smile. She made an amazing chocolate for me. The afternoon tea set is absolutely worth to try. The chicken sandwiches are delicious and the cheese scone is tasty. Cozy and clean environment.

Amazing place , amazing staff and I love coming here. Have been there before as well. This time reached after 3 pm so food options were limited . So we tried hot chocolate and scones and loved both. Fruit Scone was really really nice. Next time I will try the cheese scone :)

Outstanding fresh fruit scone!!! You won't regret it, last time I visited here was 4-5 years ago still delicious and really nice sandwiches!

Our first visit to this sweet, friendly tearoom. We sat in the window to play a game, eat cake and people watch. The young waitress was very charming even though it was quite busy. My oat mocha was absolutely delicious, on par with ones I've had in France. It tasted like melted chocolate and had the consistency of such. 10/10 for the bread and butter pudding. The husband gave equally high marks for the splendid chocolate cake, the maker of whom clearly understood that icing should be in near equal quantities to the sponge 😁😁

Visited after a lovely walk along the river. The local watercress pesto panini and the watercress and cheese scones were lovely. The service was friendly and the outside seating area was a lovely bonus. We will definitely be back to sample the Dorset ice cream, extensive tea menu and cakes!

Stopped here by chance and it was our lucky day. A large choice of speciality teas, cakes and scones were on offer. I had Bread Pudding which was moist, beautifully spiced and full of fruit. The Japanese wild cherry tea was so nice and I could get more than 4 cups from the pot and extra hot water provided. Hope to go back when next in this part of the country. Went back and it was just as good. Really friendly staff and great food and drink.

Great shop, great Lavender, great staff. We came by bus from Jane Austen's house and it took around 10mins. You alight on a main road so take care. We started our trip with a scout of the gift shop, then had tea, Lavender Latte, lavender Lemonade, Victoria Sponge and a Flapjack and they were all good, then we paid for our field tickets. Just being able to wander round 2 fields was very relaxing listening to the bees buzzing, the weather was good so it was quite busy. We spent about an hour slowly wandering the flower, then went back to the shop, bought Jams, chutneys and more, finishing off with a honey & lavender Ice Cream. A quick check of Google suggested there was a return bus in 20 minutes, so we headed back to the almost invisible bus stop, which ended up being a 40 minute wait for a 13 bus to Alton.

We’ve lived here for a long time and felt it was time to see the lavender fields up close. Viewing is best in July, they harvest in August. There’s a gift shop and a small tea shop with indoor and outdoor seating. Various varieties of lavender are planted and when the sun came out the colours were vibrant. It was alive with bees and butterflies. The area of wildflowers compliment the lavender perfectly. They have a bug hunt ongoing for the children. Whilst this is not a day out, it is a lovely few hours well spent. Sales of everything lavender related from plants to ice cream and honey finish the experience off perfectly.

Lovely place to stop for a short walk and a cuppa. Dog friendly (on leads) and as long as it's not too wet you can get round with a pram (it is a field at the end of the day). Plenty of parking, selection of lavender items in the shop, cafe on site (indoor and outdoor seating) and friendly staff as well. If you would like to walk around some fields of lavender and wild flowers, then have some tea and cake after (or before), then this is a fab stop for your travels. Worth checking their social media channels before you travel for the latest info on the harvest and whether or not the lavender is in colour.

There are different species of lavender in the farm. Leaflet was provided so that we can have more clear to differentiate each species. My kid loves the bee hunt game. She does not only focus on flowers, but also studies different insects in the farm. The gift shop and cafe are nice. I like the lavender latte. The taste of lavender not too strong. It keeps good balance between latte and lavender. For kids, the lavender ice cream must be a choice!

Halloween afternoon tea for the children. Very popular at lunchtime. All food served was to a good standard. Very pleasant service.

A definite must if you in the local area. Loads of parking in an ideal location. Nice menu with lots of choice. I opted for the egg mayo with a little salad. Great coffee. Thank you

We have been a few times before so I desided to book an afternoon tea for 4 to celebrate our friends 40th birthday and it was perfect. The food was amazing as always and the staff are always friendly and helpful. Thank you for letting us decorate the table with a balloon and table decoration, she had a lovely day.

Had a weekday lunch for two and wasn't disappointed. The food was fab, good portion sizes, and reasonably priced. Staff were cool and efficient under pressure. We ate the snide but there are plenty of outside seating. Would highly recommend l.

We did the wonderfully Knife skills course. Sarah was a great teacher supported by the brilliant team of Sergio and Katie. We got the chance to practise knife skills on lots of different vegetables and fruits as well as some meat as well as getting lots of really helpful shortcuts and tips . As you prepare 4 dishes ( including a desert ) for 2 people and only eat one of them for lunch you are guaranteed to leave with lots of delicious meals. The knowledge I gained is kitchen life changing. Well worth the money.

Excellent breakfast. All top quality ingredients, as expected. Cost of drinks were a bit high, we thought. £4.50 for a glass of orange juice. Freshly squeezed and very nice but quickly adds up on the bill. Would highly recommend, though. Would love to visit again and browse the shop, butchers, fish mongers. Shame we are not local

Food at the restaurant was amazing! Service was great, nice and friendly. The food in the shop is overpriced for what it is. Considering it's high-end, you'd expect the products to reflect that. Lots of their products are "ultra processed" - read the labels and you'll see. Shame to see high end products with chemicals in them.

Pop over for a breakfast, it was very busy so will book next time. We did seats outside as the inside was fully booked . Was little cramped for 3 and very hot (August). The breakfast was outstanding, excellent quality, and delicious. Highly recommended.

We randomly found this cafe when searching for lunch. Staff were so lovely, interior was warm and cosy. The food was so tasty! We would definitely come back :) I would advise to book in advance as it was full

Great place, lovely view right on the harbour. Coffee and breakfast was good. Friendly staff. It's got a lovely feel to it. Would definitely recommend and will definitely visit again.

Lovely cosy atmosphere with a funky twist. Friendly and funny staff. Cake and sweet treats were 10/10. Delicious looking food menu but we just had sweet treats and tea.

I was treated to an afternoon tea at Kimbridge Barn by a wonderful friend in March 2024. What an experience. We were seated in the window in the sunshine. Staff could not be more attentive and friendly. The food was delicious. The scones were huge - the size of a large mango - but beautifully soft & delicious and served warm. The sandwiches were scrummy, the ham hock mayo my favourite. The sunshine melted the sour cherry chocolate bar as we weren’t paying attention! It too tasted wonderful. Will definitely come back when the weather warms up. The package included unlimited teas and americano coffee. Would have been nice to include one special coffee like a latte for the price, but small niggle.

Went on a Monday and got the vegan full Kimbridge - it was lush! The only “criticism” is that I’d have liked 1 more hash brown because they were perfection and there was waaaaay too much butter lol. But we will definitely be going back. The courgette fritters were fried to perfection. Great atmosphere, lovely location and the staff were very accommodating!

Saturday I had Chicken snitzel and my wife had the Haddock we both enjoyed the food. We returned on Sunday I had the Bacon belly and my wife had the scallops we both enjoyed so much so that I said complements to the Chef. Wonderful food. Good atmosphere and a craft shop too.

Great brunch place, excellent coffee and all the food is sourced locally which I love! The boot room is especially cosy for coffee and cake on a cold miserable day with its nice fireplace. Only downside (which isn't their fault) is it gets very busy at weekends so do book on advance to avoid disappointment as this has happened a couple times to us.

Buzzing, busy, family-run cafe which we visited entirely by chance, following the brown signs from the A31. A haven of happiness! Fantastic gf chocolate brownie. Equally amazing Biscoff slice, according to my husband. Thank you to the lovely staff, and to Duster the cat, who knew I speak Cat, and gave me a lovely, purring cuddle! I wish we were local..

The food was absolutely delicious! However, there’s definitely room for improvement in their service.

Our first visit (won't be our last) to have a look around the nursery and have lunch. They were busy but were seated quickly. Service was very quick and efficient even though they were having WiFi problems. I ordered a tuna and cheddar cheese sandwich and was so surprised when it arrived. Good thick slices of bread and a massive amount of lovely filling served with a little pot of crisps. Excellent value for money and lovely, friendly staff

*My personal view of the full English breakfast was a 2/5 but as that's my preference I'm leaving a 4/5 for the place overall* The staff were so so friendly and warm when we arrived at the little garden centre cafe opened. The interior is prettily decorated with care and style - there's even a little alcove with a few tables and library wall paper which is fun My husband had a chocolate shake which he said was very good and we didn't wait long for breakfast to arrive with hot toast and cute little piped butters. It went downhill from here for me as the beans were EVERYWHERE on the plate covering all the other items in bean juice. Now, if you're a bean fan, I'm sure this isn't a problem but I am not keen on mushrooms, sausage, tomato etc etc being slimy. The egg was cooked well but it was one top of everything so it had a beany underside and made the other items taste of eggy oil. Nearly everywhere I've been in recent years serves the beans in a separate ramekin which also makes the plate look nicer. However, as I said above, this is totally my preference so it wouldn't be fair to mark them down. The loss of one star is because 1. the sausage didn't taste great quality and 2. the mushrooms were too watery. 3. At £13.75 a full English, I think that's quite pricey for the quality. The garden centre has some excellent edibles, gifts and cute cards, so well worth a visit.
