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

A Saturday morning visit to one of our favourite bakeries. The sticky buns here are very good, high quality and lovingly made. We picked a cinnamon bun and a lemon and raspberry. Both excellent, tasty and not too sweet. The cappuccino was also very nice, super hot and of good strength. Overall, this place is always worth a visit, especially if you fancy picking up one of their specialty loaves on the way out too, sliced or unsliced, take your pick.

Great atmosphere, steady service with every cup of coffee handled with care and love. Great team always happy to help, especially with making a decision on what to chose out of the vast delicious pastries and bread that has been baked fresh everyday. Especially love the happy hour with 30% off on pastries and bread during the last hour before close. Will keep visiting 😊

Chris, Gaby & team are a pleasure to see on a daily basis. Best oat latte in town! Sourdough is ace too. Would fully recommend to one and all. Super kind to kids and dogs, too!

Amazing selection of breads and pastries, top notch coffee definitely the best in town. Staff are great and very friendly

Stopped by for the first time when out on my bike. Very cheerful welcome and an excellent coffee and flapjack. Very interesting interior because La Follia also shares the space with a small furniture outlet. I don't mean that the furniture is small, I mean the the furniture area is small ha ha. I very much enjoyed my stop and will drive back out to South Harting with my wife because we so like finding new and interesting places for our morning coffee

Eventually we chose to stay close by and visit this fabulous quaint and quirky little Italian Café. It was on our list of 'must visit' while in the area, so what better time to go. We arrived around 2pm and was pleased to find that we could get a table. Warm, cosy and welcoming, a lovely young man gave us a choice of tables. All members of staff were friendly, helpful and super efficient. The menu has a lovely selection of Italian dishes to choose from. My husband chose the focaccia toastie with baby-leaf salad, parmesan shavings and balsamic dressing. It was stuffed with Prosciutto, mozzarella, pistachio pesto, and rocket. I chose the balsamic mushrooms and canallini beans with rocket, burrata and a slice of toasted sourdough 😋 both were absolutely delicious. The coffee and chai latte went down well too, especially our second cup which were accompanied by amaretto, pistachio and almond sweet treats. We would highly recommend visiting thus wonderful cafe should you find yourself in the area, we will definitely be returning on our next visit to West Sussex. Thank you La Follia

Best cafe I’ve been to in a while! Great food, great coffee, and great service! Everything was of quality and the place itself was very ambiant!

A true gem of an independent cafe, the attention to detail in the interior is second to none and the Italian inspired menu is utterly delicious. We had a very very delicious breakfast roll with the best coffee and can’t wait to return. Amazing decor, menu & staff. Plus the offering is accompanied by a beautiful interiors shop full of treasure and inspiration.

Had a lovely time at Meg's kitchen today. The staff were so kind and helpful to my two young children. They also loved the attention! Such a lovely experience. We had the smashed avocado bagel and two of the kids picnic boxes. Thank you

Went to Megs Kitchen for lunch earlier, staff are very friendly and a good selection of food choices. The cakes are delicious, would recommend. The only down side was there was not any baby changing facilities, however the toilet was very clean. Looking forward to returning.

Just been here today for lunch with my wife we ordered 2 ploughman's ...wow they came out on big tray each Quantity and Quality was amazing staff very friendly and polite .....even though they were short staffed they didn't fail to deliver. Looking forward to our next visit already big 👍👍👍to you all.

What a lovely little place!! One of the nicest toasties I've ever had. Staff were very friendly couldn't fault it..will definetly be back.

Fabulous tasting menu, each course kept getting better. The wine pairing with it was very nice. With notice they were able to adapt for my allergies and it was fabulous food. Staff were so helpful and charming. They obviously have a passion for their food. Lovely cosy setting in an old building. We will definitely be back.

What a lovely lovely place ! The atmosphere was 10/10 and cosy room and decor makes the place ! The service was beautiful and the girls working were very friendly! The food was outstanding. They made my birthday dinner beautifully ! Highly highly recommend! The scallops were incredible 👌🏼

This was our first time at Restaurant Six and it won't be our last. Menu options were terrific making it hard to choose and the food that arrived was top notch. My only negative is that we were seated in their small dining room upstairs and this is so dimly lit reading the menu and seeing what you were eating meant carefully positioning the table light.

We stopped by for Saturday lunch whilst we were in the area and the food and service were somewhat mixed. Between the two of us, we shared the scallops and cured monkfish for starters (both nice and well presented), the mushroom and spinach risotto (great flavour) and the lamb chops (these were dry and disappointing considering they cost £29 for two small chops) and tomato salad as a side (this was ok and probably wasn't necessary). The service was also not super attentive or warm.

Absolutely beautiful dinner this evening. Lovely blankets and hot water bottles to keep us warm. Large sun umbrella to keep us dry. Our 3 course meal was cooked to perfection and tasted delicious - beautifully complimented by wine. Lovely, friendly service and atmosphere. We really can't wait until the indoor Restaurant is permitted to open and are already planning our next visit. Huge thanks to Paul & Georgie for a lovely evening!

Love this little gem for breakfast, best coffee in Petersfield with quality breakfast ingredients used. Also had dinner there, excellent.

Our family visited last night based on a recommendation from a former colleague. I think the magic begins as soon as you walk through the door. The decor and atmosphere is refreshingly unique and makes you feel at home. Brilliant choices on the menu and it’s even better than you imagine, when it arrives on your plate. Will one hundred percent make this my go to place in Petersfield and will recommend far and wide.

Had an excellent Sunday breakfast here (Dec '22) - available before 11.55am. Really beautiful and cozy interior. Friendly service. Roasts also looked good. Large outdoor space for the warmer months.

I was on my way to the vet a couple of doors down when I first walked past this cantina. The smell of fresh, tasty food, when they'd not long been open, was so good that I decided to pop in after the vet, and I'm really glad I did 😀 I had the pan-fried mackerel with Latin rice and salsa Verde, and it was excellent 👌 I spoke to the chef, and she told me that everything is made on the premises, even the jam, that's made in small batches 😀 I don't live in Petersfield, so now I'm going to have to find more reasons to go there!

What a stunning and unique cafe this is. Thank you for a fabulous breakfast. I had the wonderful eggs on sourdough with what I think is a salsa verde style sauce (wow). My husband had the big breakfast and absolutely loved it! Wonderful freshly squeezed orange juice. Perfect. Fabulous staff who can’t do enough for you. 👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️

Such a friendly atmosphere and the food is always amazing, exciting new things to try on the menu regularly, dog friendly too

Wow what incredible food! It is so fresh, tastes incredible, and I want to go back already! Highly recommend, gluten free and vegan options are available too. Can’t wait to visit again!

Josie’s never fails to deliver delicious food, so whilst in Petersfield I stopped by and got my Josie’s fix! The Petersfield Josie’s is right in the centre and is very easy to find. It’s got a charming aesthetic and as always, has efficient and friendly service. As they have a lot of seating we were able to get a table without waiting which is quite unusual- but it’s definitely worth a wait if there is one! I had the Brunch Burrito and it was sublime - I genuinely don’t know how they make food so tasty. The service and food as you would expect from a Josie’s was great, and I’ll certainly be back in the future!

This is a modern cafe done right. In its popularity we had to wait for a seat to be available, but following the download of an app we could easily go away and shop and be notified when a table became available. At the end of our meal we were also able to use the QR code to view our table’s bill and select our own items to pay, saving us time and hassle. The food was equally as amazing, and the staff were lovely. Will absolutely be returning.

We went based on the reviews, as other reviews have stated there are no reservations offered but when we arrived and told it would be about 20 minutes wait, which we were happy with, they take your name and mobile number and add you to a wait list and you get a text when the table is ready, the system works well. We both had the American breakfast and it was nice, the pancake is very thick, the tater tots are mini hash browns but there are too many of them. We would return, there are other branches we'll try but will try something else on the menu. Staff here were excellent.

Very lovely brunch place we discovered on our roadtrip. The staff were all friendly and accommodating. We had the avocado on toast and fried chicken and pancakes and it was lovely and tasty - very good prices too. Highly recommended.

I stumbled upon the Grazing Rooms on Instagram and being a big foodie, couldn't resist booking a table after seeing they had lobster on their specials! My husband, son and I headed down for an earlier (5pm) dinner which was perfect timing. The restaurant was quieter than a usual 7pm dining service (it got really busy as we were leaving), ideal for us to enjoy the food before our son got too tired. We were greeted by the most attentive, kind and professional staff who gave us a bit of history about the restaurant, the farm shop on site and how it's recently been refurbished. The restaurant itself is beautiful and you can see a lot of time and effort has been put in. We also had the pleasure of meeting the Executive Chef Sean, who recommended a few of his favourite dishes, but also gave us a good overview of the whole menu. I couldn't believe how much was being offered gluten and dairy free! Food-wise, we had the honey mustard pigs in blankets (fighting over who go the last one!!), followed by the best scotch egg I think I’ve ever eaten. A light crispy coating (GF), tender venison meat inside, wrapped around a perfectly cooked egg with oozing yolk. The stars of the show though, came as our main course. As part of their Valentines Special (but hopefully making a permanent addition to the menu soon!) we shared a medium rare chateaubriand, and a whole lobster, both cooked in a garlic butter and served on crispy fries. The steak was juicy and tender with every slice, and the lobster was melt-in-the-mouth delicious. Sean and his team know exactly what they’re doing!! On the side we had tenderstem broccoli topped with sweet, crunchy almonds and a harissa mayo, plus a portion of Parmesan truffle fries. I’m not usually a fan of truffle but these were so well balanced we polished off the lot. Finally, and genuinely I have no idea how I managed it, I couldn’t help but order the chocolate brownie. It normally comes with chocolate sorbet but I switched out for vanilla ice cream. It had the gooiest middle with crispy, crunchy edges, unreal! AND GF too! Not that you’d ever know! The perfect meal, within a beautiful setting, I can’t fault a thing. I urge you to make a reservation and try this place out for yourselves, you will not regret it! We’ve already got our next 2 bookings made and can't wait to try out their roast dinners!!

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

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 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.

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

First time here, thought I'd pop in for some food between jobs. Really friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. And the best poached eggs I've ever eaten! Will return when I'm local 100%

I dropped in for a coffee and a cake today. I must say I was pleasantly surprised with everything. The decor is quirky, the food I had was just fantastic and the waitress Christina was funny, polite, personable and professional. The best carrot cake I have ever tasted. Keep it up.

Had a coffee and toasted Tea cake which was great. The scones were so good 😋 melt in the mouth and so fresh. Amazing 😍

My favorite cafe to go for lunch as it’s very relaxed. The menu changes throughout the year which is nice and keeps me going back. A good selection of cakes and the best coffee in town. Relaxed atmosphere and it’s nice to see all of the art by local artists. Staff are always polite and welcoming.
