Had a private party for my mums 60th and it was fantastic. Jimmi was so accommodating and we had the most fantastic time. The venue is beautiful and the coffee is delicious. Highly recommend if you're looking for a venue for around 30 people. Very reasonable pricing too. Thanks jimmi!
Cycling on the 1066 walk/cycle path from Crowhurst it was time for a short rest and a coffee. We chose Courteney’s after seeing most tables occupied and where we could watch our bikes through a window. It has a long interesting food menu of classic cafe dishes. Virus protocol was followed correctly. As it wasn’t lunchtime we shared a cheese scone and we both agreed it was out of this world... light, delicate buttery flavour and a cheese crust. Do try it, it’s worth making an effort.
We stopped by for breakfast which was absolutely delicious. Loved the homemade baked beans on the full English (which didn’t feel heavy at all). We tried Dubai pistachio cake as well, which was very special. Made fresh daily, with generous amount of pistachios. You can tell the food is prepared with great care and love. This place is a little hidden gem.
Great place to eat. Very friendly staff. I had the lentil soup with a squeeze of lime. My 2 friends had a Persian vegetarian salad followed by delicious pistachio ice cream with saffron or rose water. Very reasonably priced.
The best cafe in Bexhill. One of the best I've ever been to. Only downside was no poached eggs, but they do those now!!! 100% The cakes are DELICIOUS
My mum introduced us to Jimmie's and I'm so glad she did. Not only do they take extremely good care of my mum, who is in her early 80's,but they also take extremely good care of all their customers. They just ow the regulars and what they want and the atmosphere is so calm and friendly. The food is delicious and cooked beautifully. Thank you all.
What a super little café. The staff were so friendly and helpful when 12 of us turned up at short notice. We had great café style food and they even do some fantastic Persian specials. I would highly recommend it.
