Bella's Café — Restaurant in Eastbourne

Dropped in last minute before hopping my train, as a couple of the bigger local cafés nearby had already finished up doing savery snacks.

• five stars for great service, and a really bloody good sandwich.

I went to Eastbourne for a day trip with some friends a couple of weeks ago and when arrived at the station we had breakfast at Bella’s Café. We had coffee, tea, strawberry milkshake and croissants. Food and service were both impeccable. The two young guys serving us behind the counter were polite and welcoming. Shoutout to Bella’s!

Also, I happened to forget my IPhone charger at their place, I called the day after and Bella - the manager - kindly offered to send it back to me in London at her expenses. Thank you so much Bella, I won’t forget your kindness and manners. Hope to see you again when I will come back...
