The Best Cafes in Hambledon, Hampshire, United Kingdom (2025)

As we go along to The Stores on a regular basis for our morning coffee, I decided to write a review based on our many visits. It's like going through the door into summer as you enter the shop with all its beautiful gifts and materials. It's hard to believe that The Stores has only been open since Easter! I'm a believer in really good coffee and The Stores delivers with its exceptional coffee and cakes. If you have the time be sure to drop in.

The Stores is a beautiful shop situated in the heart of the pretty village Hambledon. Selling a wonderful array of carefully curated items, from handmade clothes, to bouquets of locally grown flowers, homewares and art, there really is something for everyone. We are always greeted with a warm smile from the owners, whom also happen to serve an excellent coffee and cake! Well worth a visit!

Beautiful little shop that we pop into for a coffee after our walks. There are some absolutely gorgeous little homeware items sold in the shop, including art and ceramics by local artists, and stunning handmade clothing and diffusers/burners (both made by the owners, who run their own small businesses alongside)! They also have so many lovely vintage items for the home! I love that some of their main focuses are on sustainability, shopping locally and supporting other local and small businesses. For an added bonus, their coffees and bakes are delicious too!! Very lovely people and such a perfect little shop - we couldn’t recommend more!

Absolutely DELIGHTFUL! The ladies who run the shop are wonderful, the selection of locally made products is incredible, and the atmosphere is incomparable. Just a wonderful visit from start to finish.
