This is the newest café in town! The owners are both lovely and kind. Their food is home-made, mostly cooked and done by Adriana and to quench my thirst during this hot summer, I loved their iced coffee! But my favorite of all is their cream caramel, reminds me of the dessert back home. Overall, loved everything here.

At the Stop, Eastbourne everything is great. Personal service, so attentive, greetings when coming in & out. Food is excellent, & Adrianna, makes such lovely cakes, cookies & just everything is just right for us. My husband likes, his sausages, and Luis does it just right for him. If you have not tried it, you must. Somewhere you will just love coming back to, again & again.

Adriana and her husband were some of the most beautiful people we’ve met in Eastbourne. Not only the food was nice and well cooked, but the best part was the hospitality. Adriana is an amazing human being, very empathetic and kind and that gives so much personality to her cafe/restaurant. I miss visiting places like that one and I’m happy I’ve been there, it made our experience in Eastbourne so much better. Please go and support small businesses like that, starting from The Stop! P.S they have the most delicious and aromatic teas, honestly.

Adriana was so welcoming and nice! She served us well and created a warm environment for us! The food and price was worth for it! You guys should try this restaurant whenever you are visiting Eastbourne! And it is just a 2 minutes walking distance from the station, buses to East Dean (for visiting seven siisters cliff & Birling Gap) was also in front of the restaurant as well!

Adriana and Luis are the kindest souls and the happiest people you want to see at 7am. My partner and I have been going in for almost a year now and they have been so welcoming. They know our order and almost every morning have it ready to go before we have even stepped foot in the shop. The coffee is delightful and the customer service is amazing. Cant wait to be back (tomorrow)!
