Welcome to Teise & Coffee Cafe, a charming oasis nestled in the heart of Lamberhurst, Tunbridge Wells. This delightful café, situated in the picturesque Forge House on The Broadway, is not just a place to grab a bite to eat—it's an experience that tantalizes all the senses.
As you step through the inviting doors, you're greeted by a warm atmosphere filled with the delightful aromas of freshly brewed coffee and baked goods.

The menu at Teise & Coffee Cafe is a delightful tapestry of flavors, catering to both sweet cravings and savory appetites. Start with a freshly baked cake, the star of which could very well be the renowned hummingbird cake, praised as the best cake by patrons who consider themselves aficionados. Cakes and Sweet Treats include enticing options such as a delightful almond croissant (£2.50) that has made quite the impression on visitors, as well as traditional Cream Tea for 1 (£7.75) that transports you straight to the heart of British baking tradition.
For those gravitating toward heartier options, the selection of Sandwiches features delicious combinations like the Bacon, Avocado & Tomato, and classic Cheese & Ham, perfect for refueling after a scenic walk around the nearby Scotney Castle. Complement your meal with a refreshing Cold Drink, such as an Iced Coffee (£2.95) or a soothing Iced Tea (£2.50), both ideal for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up.
