Runaway Cafe - Lewes

The service at the restaurant was good, but I have never tasted such disgusting coffee. It had almost no flavor until after I finished it, and it took me 3 hours and a whole pack of mints to get rid of the taste! However, on a positive note, it was at least warm and wet.

Lovely, such a refreshing change from the standard pumpkin offer at most stations, wonderful at the end of a long walk or run for quick refuelling while waiting for a train home (my husband especially really appreciated you still being open and a lovely sandwich from you on his way home from the South Downs Way 50 yesterday)

Popped in for breakfast to take on the train, my bacon sandwich was tasty, the bacon crisp but I was disappointed it was pre-cooked and packaged with no opportunity to add sauce. My coffee was again OK, just a bit ordinary. I still love that this place is on the platform and independent though.

I love The Runaway the coffee is good and reasonably priced. There's a great selection of homemade cakes, sandwiches, and pastries and the staff are friendly and efficient. There's no waiting around if you need to hop on the next train (I always wonder if their clock is deliberately a few minutes fast to make sure! . A truly refreshing change from all the usual station chain cafes. A local treasure.

Simply superb! I was delighted to see tea made from real tea leaves. Good tasting brew and gorgeous cake. This is how you do it.
