The recent refit has opened up the space, inviting soft natural light to mingle with the warm hum of friendly conversations. It’s the kind of place where the pace slows comfortably—where locals settle in over a cup, and the day’s worries gently recede.

Whether you’re drawn by the inviting aroma of freshly brewed espresso or the promise of a thoughtfully prepared breakfast, Flinders Coffee feels like a gentle nod to mornings that deserve a little more care.

There’s a quiet joy in the way the food arrives—each dish thoughtfully balanced and fresh. Seasonal ingredients, generous portions, and an awareness of varied tastes make it simple to find something that feels just right, from well-executed classics to options crafted with plant-based palettes in mind.

Reviewing Kenneth 28 Dec 2025

The re-fit has done wonders for this place. Before it felt far too cramped. Now the dining area feels more spacious, comfortable and light. I had the English breakfast. While I usually prefer larger format full englishes, I have to give credit where credits due: every element of this breakfast tasted exceptionally fresh and high quality. The coffee was also delicious. The service was cheerful and friendly. Our visit was a great treat all round.

Such a nice breakfast, bacon cooked to perfection, sausages are super tasty, spot on poached egg, even the mushrooms and tomatoes were just right. Great service and a warm and inviting atmosphere too. I was near the till and while eating my breakfast at least 3 or more customers/pairs decided to have their order in rather than taking it away as originally ordered, so they obviously picked up on the inviting atmosphere too.

The atmosphere was great and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The coffee was great and really hit the spot, I ended up ordering a second! The food was equally good. There were lots of vegetarian and vegan options on the menu and every dish looked great when it came out. The portion size was just right too. Would definitely recommend!

Been a regular here since after COVID, delicious food, lovely staff and very relaxed atmosphere! Always good portions and top quality ingredients (the good egg breakfast and the poached eggs salmon are firm favourites!) The chairs and decor could be a bit comfier but also lovely to find a dog friendly chilled place!

Lovely independent cafe, it’s the place I bring my friends when I want to convince them that Haywards Heath has character and fun things to do. Staff are friendly and the food is decent. There’s a very small step down to get inside.
