A classic greasy spoon - good breakfasts at a good price. The lighting is quite low for some reason, but the welcome is warm.
The cafe is also licenced, but we just had soft drinks this time.
A really good local tea shop, cafe, and restaurant of long standing in the town centre. Run by a local area Turkish Cypriot family who have together given many decades of dedicated service to the people and town center of East Grinstead with their various food, ice cream and other businesses. Helpful and friendly family run business service.
In past years it is somewhere I liked to sit with friends and enjoy a coffee. Or enjoy a small meal in company here. Years ago I attended evening dinner meetings here too with the local church Alpha group dinner talks.
(This is also notably apparently a business mentioned in the memoirs of an early noughties foreign service intelligence agent of the Zimbabwean government. At the time President Mugabe was still in power, around time our Prime Minister was Tony Blair, or around/just after perhaps that time period. Listed in his book of his life story as somewhere he had once met with a contact. Travelling down to East Grinstead by train from London specifically to collect information of intetest supplied to him by a source contact. I'm trying to remember the name of that chap's book that I read this in, at a second hand bookshop in my travels. It has slipped my mind. Kicking myself I didn’t buy that book now really! Wouldn't have to try then to go by memory alone. But it can only mean this cafe in that book and nowhere else. There is only one cafe on the corner of Railway Approach in East Grinstead in West Sussex, opposite the Railway pub. Bluebells Cafe. Has to be this one. )

They've got perfect breakfast food here! I have to say that I've been here 5 times, but it's only ever been for breakfast. I've been happy every time. The eggs are well cooked, the beans are delicious, the tomatoes were perfectly scorched.
The service has been excellent every time we've been there.
Really delicious food with good portions, good coffee, great friendly service.
We ordered porridge, the American and the Cumberland. All were very delicious and served with a smile.
Popped in for some breakfast and were really pleased by the great service, how quick the food was served and how good it tasted! Wish we one if these on our high st. Highly recommend.
Went in the the family, who are a bit more fussy about there breakfast and ask if they could swap things on there breakfasts. Nothing was too much trouble and the food is excellent. Will definitely return
Fantastic food & staff are friendly.

All I need to say is a great vibe, very friendly with the adults and children. Food is great, and so, too, are the milkshakes 👊💥

Great service and great food ❤️
Tasty food, quick service, lovely coffee. A great selection on the menu, something for everyone. Staff are very friendly too.
Excellent food. Friendly atmosphere.
Great liver and bacon. But be sure to tell them n9t to chop and mix it up
Banoffee smoothie has very good flavour but not sickeningly sweet, bubble tea is good quality and yummy and the sandwich I had was also really delicious. Super nice atmosphere and people. I hope to come again before I leave the area
Best service. Awesome food. I love their coffee and burger. I eat everyday from Bluebells Cafe
Had the all day breakfast...of course...its nice to have a lot of different combos of breakfast that you get here, so easy to get what you want without ordering individual pieces, although you can do that too. Glad to say that I had to stuff the last few mouthfuls in so good on quantity and a fair price too. Loads of different sarnie fillings on display so I will be returning soon to try those out
