I popped in to get out of the cold as I was early for a appointment nearby and ordered a cappuccino. Staff were really friendly and there was a nice selection of cakes and pastries available. Wish I had more time as the breakfast menu looked good. My coffee was too.

I recently visited Ralphs cafe and, unfortunately, had an incredibly disappointing experience that compelled me to share my thoughts. From the outset, the front-of-house staff, particularly a lady who I assume is the owner, displayed an alarming level of rudeness and arrogance.Upon entering the cafe, I was met with an unwelcoming atmosphere, but nothing prepared me for the encounter with the lady at the front. Being told to go outside to use my phone to make an quick important call to my daughter, Not only was she dismissive and rude while taking my order getting it wrong, but when a fellow patron queried the exorbitant prices, her response was shockingly unprofessional. She not only defended the overpriced menu but went so far as to tell the patron not to come back if he had a problem with it.The poor taste and quality of the food only added to the disappointment. Each dish seemed to lack the care and attention that one would expect, especially given the steep prices. It was evident that corners were cut, and the flavors were lacking any depth or creativity.What shocked me even more was the lady's behavior after a pricing dispute. She proceeded to gossip and badmouth the questioning patron to anyone who would listen in the cafe. Such unprofessionalism is not only unpleasant for customers but also creates a toxic environment that is unacceptable in any establishment.I believe in providing constructive feedback, but my attempts to express my concerns were met with further arrogance and dismissiveness. It's disheartening to see an establishment with such potential marred by the disrespectful attitude of its front-of-house staff.In summary, I cannot recommend Ralph's based on my experience. The combination of poor food quality, exorbitant prices, and unprofessional behavior from the owner made for a regrettable visit. I hope this feedback encourages the management to reevaluate their practices and foster a more welcoming and customer-oriented environment.

An example of how to make a breakfast memorable. Great produce and friendly service. Beats all the competition. Keep it up Carol and Graham ? Loved the sausages!

What a lovely lovely spot in Forest Row! Cosy and comfortable. Friendly service. Tasty breakfast (with homemade white bread - delish) Love that there are hand written signs and notices, makes it more personal. Coffee is great. The couple who own it are warm and friendly. Overall it?s one of the best spots to have a breakfast/meal and I highly recommend it!

We were just passing through Forest Row and were looking for somewhere to have breakfast and came across Ralph?s. It might look like any other breakfast café from the outside but the food and service was exceptional. We enjoyed an extremely well cooked full English breakfast with good quality ingredients, even the toast bread was really tasty, not your run of the mill bread. Staff were friendly and chatty. I was irritated reading some of the reviews criticising the owners for not allowing customers to watch streamed media or take phone calls in the café. It?s their shop and they can set their own rules, if it doesn?t suit you just eat somewhere else. Why should other customers be subjected to your noise when we?re eating? Stop acting so entitled. They also do lunches and home-made cakes. We would definitely come here again and highly recommend it.

Every time we visit Forest Row from London we have to make time for brunch at Ralph?s. It has quite a varied menu. This time our group had amazing fry ups, omelettes loaded with green vegetables, Goan chicken curry and the most wonderful flatbreads and french fries. Great coffees ,cakes and delightful service too. What?s not to like !

Shocking! Coronation chicken sandwich tasted like it had a pot of salt in it, the 2 staff were bickering in customer earshot. Asked for a glass of water and given a paper cup! A note is placed on the table basically requesting tips? up the game and they might start earning these!

Popped in for a late lunch after a delightful cycle from Tunbridge Wells with my youngest son. We were warmly Welcomed by the couple who run the cafe even thought they were 1/2 from closing time. We drank really delicious lattes and ate very tasty bowls of soup. All very reasonably priced and a friendly atmosphere. Would recommend unreservedly.
