We visited the Forest Edge Roasting Company for my husbands birthday today. We decided to visit from a recommendation from a friend, and it did not disappoint.

Whether you want to eat in, with a range of delicious cake or pastry, or takeaway, there is an option for everyone. I cannot wait to go back and...

Having recently lost our dog of 16 years and feeling somewhat down, my wife and I decided to take a short break to Lyndhurst. Without any word of a lie, our visits to this cafe completely made our trip. The owner, Robyn, really knows her coffee and roasts a wicked brew. Helen made us so very welcome and made every cup of coffee with love and as for the regulars, Mark, Graham and Heidi et al….. thank you for the wonderful chats that we all shared. You all raised the spirits of a right couple of miseries! Thank you again and we wish you all the very best with your future dreams and endeavours....
