What Speigal doesn't like about Apple Cafe:
My main issue with this cafe and the book store is the general poor state of repair of the shop with holes in the roof and appalling loos. Walking to the loo you pass through crumbling walls, very dirty doors and a a neglected toilet which at the time was in a mess with loo paper everywhere. Cafe itself is table service, we just had tea but there is a selection of nice cakes and light bites. Good to browse in the boo... View all feedback. What haylingseagoon likes about Apple Cafe:
Sadly the view has gone downhill with the Cathedral being wrapped in plastic sheeting while the roof timbers and lead roof are installed. Some 5 years, I believe. That said the cheese scones and lentil soup are as wonderful as ever. Hayling Seagoon View all feedback.

Nestled within Waterstones, this café offers a charming atmosphere complemented by a varied menu featuring excellent coffee, delicious scones, and tempting cakes. While the service is friendly and responsive, some customers noted discrepancies in pricing and the need for clearer communication regarding menu costs. Despite its inviting offerings, the café's ambiance suffers from signs of neglect, including worn furniture and poorly maintained restrooms, which detracts from the overall experience. Accessibility concerns were raised due to stair access and confusing signage. Nonetheless, the café remains a cozy escape for book lovers, even amidst ongoing renovations of the Cathedral views.
