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

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

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!

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

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!

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.

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 😁😁

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Food is amazing, very friendly staff and fast service.

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 :)

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.

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!

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!

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.

We had a lovely day today walking around the fields. Beautiful flowers & lavender. Very dog friendly, lovely shop & cake! Great picnic spot

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.

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!

This café inside Alton Community Centre provides tea / coffee / hot chocolate / soft drinks to many of the U3A members who attend the varied classes on offer. However, Peter, the owner, provides hot / cold food, e.g. 'All Day Breakfast' at extremely fair prices. The setting itself is pleasant with a nod to Jane Austin, the famous author of the Regency period. Try it

This is a no frills cafe.All day breakfast , snacks,light lunches, chips occasional specials and hot and cold drinks. Located in the community centre this us an independent business so you do not have to be using any other centre facilities as you are always welcome in the cafe. I am a constant visitor and can say that I have enjoyed my visits. Ideal for today's economy as a coffee / tea start at £1.20. Peter makes a very nice rock cake and charges only 70p

Good place to go and get something to eat and drink and meet friends

Great British breakfast, cooked fresh to order. Good mug of tea from a pot. Simple and good.
