Food is absolutely amazing, really recommend. Like spectacular awesome. Waiting for takeaway is quite long but frustrating when you can see you food is ready but is sitting on the counter - literally five minutes of waiting for someone to bring the bag that last few metres (especially when you're on your way to catch a train!). Staff are friendly and it's nice to be able to watch the food being prepared

I’ve never had a sub-par bagel from Sleeper. I’m a diehard vegan slaw fan . Sleeper never skimps out on toppings or flavour. I would equate watching them make bagels to watching Michelangelo paint the Creation of Adam but that would be doing them a disservice for the art they created

Couldn’t resist the hype and recommendations that came with this bagel place and it did not disappoint at all. Ordered coffees as standard (all were great) but the star of the show was the egg and salmon (went seeded) bagel that was full and to die for! Everything that you would like in a bagel. Our party also had a cinnamon and Nutella bagel which was very sweet but as expected. As a super nice treat the worker gave our 2 year old a free custard ice cream which she devoured and loved! 5 stars doesn’t do it justice! Must go here

Don't miss out on these lovely delicious bagels that'll have you coming back for more! I want to try some of the other flavours, but I can't not order the salted beef every time, especially now it's got melted Monterey Jack cheese on it 😂😋

Really lovely place to visit for bagels and coffee. There's not a huge menu, but everything on it is well sourced and really tasty. Always a queue because it's so popular. Can take some time to get your order because everything's freshly made to order, but well worth it for the quality of food and drink you get.

Just like the previous reviewer, I came back 2 days running as the bagels were the most delicious I have eaten - and I have been a bagel devotee for many years. Starting with the bagels: home baked, light but with bagel density at the same time. A range of savoury and sweet. I opted for seeded 'Everything' and everything it was. Day one, I had the smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel. High quality fish and no average cream cheese. It was topped with what I think are fried capers, so it hit a salty flavour filled bite. Excellent. Day two, I went for Italian sausage with fried onions (crispy, light, nothing greasy here) on an Everything bagel. Excellent. I spent a happy couple of mornings here, working, eating bagels and drinking Sleeper's very good coffee. The staff are charming and the atmosphere is the best of St. Len's. Every single customer who I saw come and go exclaimed about how tasty the food is - do you need more encouragement to try a Sleeper bagel experience? I leave today but will be back for more next time I am sea-siding here.

The best bagels not just in Sussex, but in the UK! I am someone who is a little hard to please when it comes to food so trust me when I say The Sleeper is where you have to go for your bagels. Topnotch Salt Beef - perfect match with the Monterrey Jack Cheese and the gherkins and mustard complete the magic. Great stuff!

Visited whilst on holiday in St Leonards last week. The bagels were so delicious we had to go back again the next day! The smoked salmon & cream cheese with crispy capers & red onion is honestly one of the best bagels I have ever tasted (and I've lived in North London in the past). Absolutely delicious and overflowing with filling! The coffee was really good too. Will definitely be back next time we are in the area.
