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.

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!

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

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

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!

Always seems to be busy whenever I come here which tells you a lot. I’m very particular about how I have my tea and as such, I rarely opt for tea when I’m out and about but the tea here is fantastic. The food is great too, the cakes and pastries especially, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming.

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 😁😁

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.

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.

The Beech Cafe is a total delight and well worth the 1 hour drive we do to get there! As a vegetarian I was so grateful to find a cafe that serves really delicious veggie food; but I was more thrilled that my meat-loving wider family love this cafe as much as i do! We have been for many years and have only ever enjoyed top quality, fresh and super tasty food. Today we had vegetarian Mexican burritos, mozzarella and cheese panini, sausage(ve)and sweet potato casserole, avocado, olive and sundried tomato salad and soups; all followed by a selection of awesome cakes and coffees. I forgot to take pictures as we ate everything so quickly, but I’m gutted as my words may not do as much justice as the pictures would! The value is almost too great, I think the lovely team deserve to up their prices, as they deliver more than most for their prices. A gem of a find, surrounded by beautiful forests and fantastic walks available. The staff are all super hard working and, in my opinion, exemplars of their industry!

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

Lovely Tea Room with a lovely view. Staff were cheerful, the place was very clean, the food was delicious. It has a lovely big garden for summer visits and big windows to look out on a great view for the winter. Reasonable prices too.

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.

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!

Found this place by chance after camping in the New Forest for the weekend. 100% recommend, a great menu and yummy food. I had the chicken and waffles and it came with a generous helping of maple syrup. The only thing I would change is serving the syrup on the side. I also had one of the best chai lattes I’ve ever had. Our dogs were made to feel welcome and were given treats by the staff. Thank you so much for a lovely breakfast!

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.

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.

We booked the Yard for a private party on Saturday evening. The location is fantastic, the staff were efficient, attentive, and friendly, and we had a great evening. Thoroughly recommend it!

I recently booked this venue for my partner’s 30th birthday, and it was amazing! This is one of our favourite spots to enjoy coffee together, so it felt like the perfect place to celebrate the occasion. From the moment we arrived, the staff were absolutely incredible. Frankie and the team went above and beyond to ensure everything ran seamlessly. We had an outside caterer for the food, but the staff took charge of organising and presenting it perfectly, making sure everything was on time, and making sure all of our guests, including those with allergies, were well taken care of. The atmosphere was fantastic- full of energy, warm, welcoming and it didn’t feel rushed or stressful. I kept checking in throughout the evening, but Frankie was absolutely wonderful in reassuring me that everything was under control and telling me that I should enjoy the celebration without a worry, which is what I did. Our guests had a wonderful time, and I’ve received nothing but positive feedback about the venue, the staff and the overall experience. I would highly recommend this place for any event - you won’t be disappointed. A huge thank you to Frankie and the team for making my partner’s birthday so special!

Wonderful! We went to Friday night's music evening and everything about the venue was just perfect - the music; the street food courtesy of Earth to Oven; indoor and outdoor seating which interconnects beautifully in one space, and an overall 'holiday' vibe in tastefully designed surroundings. We will definitely be back!

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 :)

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.

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!

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.

*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.

Absolutely wonderful. Great food and lovely service. It was a busy half term day but the food was absolutely top notch and the staff all kept things flowing beautifully. Particular note on the Coronation chicken sandwich that is the best I've ever eaten.

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.

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!

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.

Delicious (vegan) breakfast at Salt Shack. It was a lovely sunny day to look out across the water but they have plenty of blankets and heaters if it's chilly. Fuss was freshly cooked, coffee was really good and lovely service. Book a table is you want a front row table. Glad we found this place, can't recommend it enough.

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.

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.
