I went here a few years back and it was great. But no more. I found two huge human hairs in my chilli with no apology or concern for hygiene from the waitress, and was accompanied by the backdrop of staff swearing their heads off. The food was really bad and low quality. Never again.

Enjoyed the lovely food. Good position in sq with relaxed views. It was one of the best cappuccinos I had for a very long time.

Great little cafe in the heart of Petersfield. They do full cooked breakfasts, bacon butties, etc. till 11.30 am, then sandwiches, paninis, jacket potatoes, soup, burger, etc. from 12 pm. Usual selection of hot and cold drinks, including milkshakes and even beer and wine! There are about 25 seats inside and similar outside where you can watch the world of Petersfield go by...

We ordered the Vegetarian Breakfast which was cooked to order, plentiful and delicious and the breakfast bap and sausage sandwich which both contained quality ingredients and were cooked fresh to order too. We can?t fault the Chef or staff here as they are always polite and very efficient.

Nice location in the corner of the central square so lots to see. Stopped off on one our walks for a huge bacon sandwich with fresh springy bread and hot mugs of tea. There were 10 of us. The lady quickly brought the tables together for us to sit together. She could not have been more helpful.

We stopped at Petersfield for a bite to eat around 1.55, went to The Cloisters and I asked for a menu, member of staff was so rude and said what do you want a menu for we are not doing hot food now, I was very taken aback and explained to my partner what had been said so we asked if they were doing sandwiches we were very sharply told drinks and cakes only, not what was said but HOW it was said, member of staff very rude. Had lunch at a Lovett place across the road with pink chairs, staff and food amazing, our advice avoid The Cloisters.

Visited July 10th 2022 on our way to the lavender fields. The staff said they were not making any lunches. We never did find out why so had to settle for teacake and a scone.

Excellent cafe just by the market in Petersfield. Friendly service. Great Flat White.

We tried to have lunch in this cafe today, about 1.30pm, I asked the waitress if we could sit outside, with that she said ?yes?, I then went inside to ask for a menu, to which, I think ! She Was about to say they were not serving food any longer, but wanted to check first, not that she had chance, because the chef was shouting at her demanding her to take food out, he was so rude to her, and she looked quite embarrassed. Very disappointed that one they were not serving food at this time, and that the male chef would treat a young employee this way. Shame because it was in a lovely location and the last food served that day looked good.

I visited this cafe today with a friend. We haven?t been to Petersfield before so popped into the first cafe we came across. As we were walking inside, a man was telling one of the young girls working there that there were some tables outside that were dirty so she needed to go and clean them, but the way he spoke to her was so rude and disgusting. We were then served and the girls were lovely. We sat down and a few minutes later the man came and sat down with some women on a table next to us. They spent the whole 30 minutes we were there talking about his staff, saying things like ?this is the problem with young girls who have nothing in their heads? and saying how ?stupid? they were and how much they lacked any initiative. To speak about your staff in such a way is so awful but to do it in front of customers was even worse. The manager/owner is a bully and I am disgusted with the way the staff were treated by him.

I wanted an alternative to chain coffee shops (I?m new to the area). Approached this shop, was unsure if open as looked closed, door was closed and dark inside. Tried the door and found it was open - told the lady behind the counter it looks shut - she didn?t comment. Had coffee and fruit cake outdoors (both okay!). Several people approached and then left saying ?oh, they?re shut?. 2 couples questioned if they were shut or not, tried the door and then bought something. A group of 4 then sat down outside, a waitress came out and said we?ve closed as we aren?t busy enough to stay open, so they left. I pointed out to her that people think you are closed and are leaving as the door is shut and it?s dark inside. She replied ?no, it?s not, the lights are on?. Then a second group of 4 arrived and got turned away, and then another couple, then a single lady? in the time I was writing this review. How on earth are they making money?
