Having a real taste for quality food and coffee I thought I would give this coffee shop a go and what a instant surprise it was. Firstly when you arrive your first impressions are of a warm reception in relaxed and a quality atmosphere however the proof is in the tasting. The coffee was prepared on a very unusual coffee machine no electrical pumps anywhere insight just created by pressure and pulling down of a lever similar to that found in a pub when your perhaps ordering a local brew. Mind you this was not like a local brew I must say the coffee was very good indeed. Furthermore good music too just to add to what is a really good atmosphere. Now on to the food which has a varied menu but surprising not expensive and the quality was very good most interesting was the quantiles huge amount and boy it tasted so good. So in a nutshell great music, atmosphere,coffee and food! High praise indeed but then they deserve it well done I'll be back!
We love having this gem of a café just around the corner to us. The staff are all so friendly and personable. My husband and I are both vegan and they have some delicious options for us, from vegan breakfast, to sandwiches, a burger and even cake! Thank you for being awesome �!
My second visit. I am so pleased and amazed that this little gem of a cafe is in walking distance of my home..... and I am talking, very short walk. Breakfast today was a chai latte and avacado, wilted spinach and poached egg on sourdough toast with homemade pesto. Beautifully presented and tasted wonderful. I bought a raw chocolate slice to take home for later which was really good too. Vegetarian and vegan options. Friendly and efficient service. Well impressed.
Been here many times now as its just down the road from us. Treated ourselves this morning to a Full English and it was the best breakfast i have ever tasted, still haven't eaten since as it has filled us both up! Their cakes are to die for too!
First visit today, loved it! Tasty breakfast, decent tea and coffee, friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. Planning a return visit to try the big selection of cake on offer!
Amazing place. Always great service lovely staff.... We had ciabattas to eat in and all lovely and fresh tasting.
We got some sticky ginger cake to take away and it was the best cake we have ever had... Please say it's one you make regularly :) X
Magnificent breakfast with the best poached eggs. Extensive selection of freshly cooked to order meals and interesting specials.
Staff are friendly and give very good service.
Food Heaven in Liss.
How can you not love Turtle Bean? This place is amazing!
This place has a buzz of loveliness.
Found for the first time by us on Friday afternoon, blissful visit, back again Saturday!
OH MY, if we lived in Liss, I would stop supermarket shopping and take up daily residence here.
The place, is spotless (even a trip to the loo is delightful) , the staff faultless and the food most yummy around. Knocks spots of most places we know.
We said to each other on Friday afternoon, on our first visit(see Trip Advisor) , bet they do a wonderful breakfast. And do you know what, they do!
R is a breakfast expert, and he declares this is the BEST he has tasted in the region, and we breakfast out a lot! To become his number 1 above his long held favourite is testimony enough for me.
People here are welcoming, and the owner sure loves to feed people, you can tell how important good food is to the team. If you look on Trip Advisor you will see my review from Friday night, do leave your own review on there if you can as this place deserves to be applauded in as many ways as possible.
I recommend before you leave to take away some homemade delights. We took home slices of Rocky Road on Friday, it is SO amazing, tasty, rich and heaven on a plate that it makes you really rethink any other RR you have eaten before (I had mine over two nights!).
This place is not just for the weekend, it is for life. Words alone cannot testify how wonderful this place is. You need to visit and fall in love yourself. You will not be sorry.
We wish you EVERY success, may you continue to delight visitors forever.
It's doesn't get much better this !!!
One Saturday morning I was a hour early for my train to London so I thought I'd go for breakfast at the turtle bean cafe.
I hadn't been there before and it alway looked busy.I walked In and was greeted with a friendly smile and the aroma of freshly ground coffee and delicious food.
That morning I had a full English with black pudding and a perfect latte. I returned on Sunday to my new found love and had pancakes with maple syrup, bacon and a poached egg on top it was magical.
Truly great coffee and food ��������
Do a great breakfast, have travelled from Horndean just to have breakfast.
Simply lovely. Great coffee, great food and lovely owners. Our regular.
Full English, the sausage and bacon sarnies, the breakfast stack, all highly recommended. The pop up restaurant nights are superb as well!
Outstanding. Simple as that . Visiting from Cornwall to see my nan is Petersfield. Dominique had full English and a coffee. I had Eggs Benedict . Great staff, great setting. 1st class food, delicious
Incredible looking and wonderful tasting food. The full English breakfast and the strawberry and white chocolate pancakes were perfection. Thank you to the lovely staff for interacting so nicely with our daughter. ❤️💐
A Sunday morning breakfast jaunt to this popular and friendly local cafe… We arrived just before official opening time, but the place was already keeping the locals fed and watered. I had the Eggs Benedict which was fresh and tasty, accompanied by a nice cappuccino. The scrambled eggs and toast offered a good option too. By the time we left just after 1100, the place was take-away only, as it was full to capacity. It’s great to see a local cafe so full. The cake display was also very tempting, so if you visit, make sure you check this out. With free parking nearby, this is definitely a good spot for a relaxed meal and in our case, a good catch up with friends.
I had an absolutely delicious lunch. The avocado special. Was full of flavor and not too expensive either. Wish I lived nearer to get this more often
I went here with my girlfriend for breakfast. It was fairly busy with just a couple of tables available.
The young woman who met us took our order within a few minutes and our coffees were brought to the table very quickly, the coffee was fantastic. I had the full English which was great and my girlfriend had scrambled eggs with soda bread which she says was very tasty and she loved the bread. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Liss with great food and drink, friendly staff and a pleasant place.
Delicious breakfast always, and during our last visit they offered to take our unsettled 11-month-old off our hands for cuddles and entertainment so we could enjoy our breakfast. If that's not 5* service, I don't know what is!
Really loved this visit! Liss is fairly small and we were just passing through and needed a bite to eat. Googled to find a nice place and the good reviews for here were certainly not wrong.
It's quirky... the good kind. The staff are all friendly and helpful. The menu was perfectly sufficient for a nice lunch and from what I could see it was all fresh home made food.
I had the burger with home made chilli sauce. The beef pate was delicious and a nice small portion of chips.
The coffee was rich and the cake (all homemade) was moist and topped with a very tasty gnash. What a treat!
Had a chat with the business owner who was a smashing guy. Clearly cares about his customers and what they think. If you are in the area please do stop in. 😊 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Excellent breakfast and lovely staff thank you 10/10 🙂
An hour in this cafe restored my faith in the notion of a cafe as a community centre. The service was warm, chatty and inviting. Customers talked to me and to each other and the back yard was a perfect sun and shade location to enjoy a brilliant full English. Great work Turtle Bean team!
Absolutely delicious food! Gluten free options available. The vegan milkshakes are delicious!!
