Love Cake - Eastbourne

The food was wonderful and perfect for children! The staff were extremely friendly and my sons enjoyed playing with all the toys before their meal. Thank you so much!

I visited this restaurant for the first time while on holiday nearby and had a wonderful experience. They offered a lovely selection of homemade cakes and a varied menu at reasonable prices. The service was polite, prompt, and accompanied by smiles. I chose to have a fruit scone with jam (cream was also available) and a black americano coffee, while my partner opted for a love heart cupcake. Everything was served promptly and tasted delicious. This independent village cafe is definitely worth a visit, so give it a try when you're in the area - you won't be disappointed.

Called in here for the first time and got a very warm welcome. We sat at the front of the café which was both good and bad! Good because there were about 5 toddlers shrieking at the back but bad because we were close to the door opening and shutting and it was a very cold day. Coffee was very nice as was the cake and the service was excellent. It was reasonably priced, too. Not sure if kids are a regular feature here but I think we would probably avoid it in the future just in case. Shame as it could be a really enjoyable watering hole!!

Really bad service. Booked in for afternoon tea and we had to go up to the counter to order the tea even though we were the only party in there. Food wasn't good and absolutely rubbish for vegetarians and non existant for vegans. I thought Meads would know better! My friend and I were forgotten the week before! A hot cup of black coffee was passed over my friend's pram which made us really cringe. Luckily there was no spillage!

Had a fab afternoon tea here on my birthday last week with two friends. The prices were great (much cheaper than equivalent places in Brighton , and we were given very generous amounts of cake, the remainder of which we were able to take away with us. The milkshakes are fantastic thick and frothy, even the standard menu includes many different flavours (and that's without including the freakshakes that have to be seen to be believed!! . The atmosphere was relaxed even when it got busier, and the cafe feels like a fun but chilled place to spend some time. We were there on a weekday, during the summer holidays, and when we arrived at 1ish there was virtually no one around. Once we'd been there for half an hour or so it started to fill up, but it didn't feel too crowded as the tables aren't too close together. I noticed there are lots of childrens' toys and menu options, so it's definitely a family friendly place. All the staff were lovely, accommodating and helpful. All the cakes look yummy tempting (I had some of the best carrot cake I've ever tasted!! , the scones tasted fresh not excessively heavy, and the sandwiches were generously filled and tasty. There is on street parking outside, as well as in the surrounding streets, but keep an eye on your watch as it's mostly restricted to 2 hours. Also, note that the afternoon tea option has to be booked in advance, but staff are very responsive on Facebook Messenger so this wasn't a problem at all. Afternoon tea was only £12.50 each, which is incredible value when you consider that most places will charge you at least £20 a head, and you'd get considerably less for your money than at Love Cake. The milkshakes weren't included in that price, but we were happy to add that to the bill for an extra £3 each. All in all a fantastic afternoon in a quirky, refreshingly different cafe we'll be back soon!! 5*
