In my opinion the Mercantile Adventurers is without doubt the best place in Burgess Hill. Well worth a visit for the wonderful welcome, great food and the variety of small businesses. There is a fab hairdressers, clothes and accessories, cards and unusual gifts for sale, upholstery and curtain making, coffee, cake and delicious vegan food. Everyone is so friendly and you'll be surprised what you'll find there!

I popped in for a coffee with a friend and was sorely tempted by the delicious gluten-free chocolate cakes sold by the Simply Angelic coffee shop. The coffee shop area itself was cosy and there was a nice buzzy atmosphere from the other stalls. The coffee shop owner (Sharon) was really friendly and was particulary helpful to some elderly customers which was nice to see. I had a quick look around the other stalls and saw some beautiful things. Its good to know there are more options in Burgess Hill to buy presents. I can't wait to pop in again for a proper look (and for a cuppa)!

The diamond of West Sussex! Fantastic independent cafe and retail shop, the best plant-based options from any cafe I've been to. Plus MUST SEE saxophone performances!

Love love love this place! The food and cakes are exceptional and all totally vegan. The teas are wonderful and the staff so friendly and lovely. It's such a nice place to be. Really like the shop that goes with it and all the local products you can purchase. Love it here a lot!

Lovely place! So amazing it's all vegan and the food was delicious! They were so lovely and accommodating to me and my little boy today ❤️ thank you xx

Lovely vegan coffee house. We have a gluten free cake and oat milk coffee. The lunches look divine as well. I will try a lunch on my next visit.

Myself and my friend stopped in here for some light lunch, we had the superfood salad with falafel and it was amazing! Even got tiny dressing bowls so we could try each one as we couldn’t make our minds up! So welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable about their food and ingredients. We will most certainly be back!

This place is great for lunch! Definitely a hidden gem for burgess hill- we need more GOOD cafes like this ✨ (I got a falafel salad, mocha with oat milk and a slice of vegan lemon drizzle cake 😋).
