Meadows Cafe & Store
In the heart of Thakeham lies Meadows Cafe & Store, a delightful spot that goes beyond the typical cafe experience. It’s not merely a place to grab a bite, but a community hub where warmth and camaraderie radiate through every interaction. Located at 3 Abingworth Cres, Pulborough RH20 3GW, this cafe is a hidden gem that draws both locals and visitors alike.
Upon entering, you're greeted by a bright and inviting atmosphere that perfectly complements the friendly staff who seem genuinely invested in making your visit memorable. Many reviews echo this sentiment, with one customer, AMANDA BROWN, noting how “lovely” the staff are and how “clean and bright” the cafe feels. The spacious seating arrangements inside and out make it a comfortable place to relax, whether you're enjoying a quiet moment alone or catching up with friends.
The menu at Meadows reflects a thoughtful selection catering to various dietary needs, including numerous vegan and gluten-free options. Customer Rachel Metcalfe appreciates the extensive choices available for gluten intolerant vegans, including a delightful array of cakes that entice anyone with a sweet tooth. One of the highlights, praised by David Earley, is their generously filled sandwiches served with fresh salads and crisps, making lunchtime here a truly satisfying experience. Not to mention, their bacon rolls have earned rave reviews — David describes them as “out of this world.” If you're a fan of sweet indulgences, the signature doughnuts are a must-try, ensuring that nobody leaves in search of more food!
Furthermore, the cafe is adjacent to a charming store stocked with local produce, fresh bread, and unique gifts, creating a holistic experience for visitors. Denis Parker highlights the “good food” and the convenience of having a store right next door, which includes local ice cream — a delightful treat for any occasion!
If you're in search of comfort food, join G Hartland in celebrating the bacon and sausage breakfast bap, which is both “cooked well and delicious.” Each bite is accompanied by frothy coffee that not only looks inviting but also has “structural integrity,” creating a perfect pairing for the morning meal.
Whether you're a local or passing through, Meadows Cafe & Store is a destination that embodies the spirit of community, quality, and great taste. It’s a place to linger, sip on your coffee, and savor the flavors of thoughtful, fresh cooking.
