Inside Bluebells Deli Kitchen & Cakerie with catering
Bluebells Deli Kitchen & Cakerie on Upper Green Lane in Hove Edge offers a cozy, unhurried café experience that’s deeply rooted in its local community. This spot balances the warmth of a traditional English tearoom with a slightly eclectic menu that hints at Mediterranean influences—think Greek salad alongside classic Bakewell cake and chocolate brownies.
Locals seem to gravitate here for moments when a casual coffee break or a relaxed weekend outing calls for something a little more thoughtful than the usual chain offering. The café’s atmosphere has a quietly comforting feel, where people come to enjoy fresh-baked comfort cakes paired with quality English leaf tea or a well-made coffee. It's not surprising that visitors often linger after a quick coffee when tempted by the selection of homemade treats, especially the bakehouse staples like streusel or their selection of cakes, including wedding and birthday specialties.
This is a place where you might drop by on a slow weekday afternoon or during weekends when families come in for a wander and end up trying one of the best brownies around, according to several local accounts. It’s popular enough that waiting a few minutes can be part of the routine, especially when the kitchen is busy prepping for catering orders or local events.
Bluebells also has a reputation within the community for catering—whether for significant family occasions like funerals or large gatherings—serving generous, well-received smörgåsbords and buffets where homemade touches like raspberry jam on scones don’t go unnoticed.
One practical note: the café’s opening hours may be somewhat unpredictable at times, so planning visits with a quick call ahead might save a wasted trip. But when open, Bluebells rewards visitors with quality and care that reflect a genuine neighborhood café rather than a formulaic chain.
Who will appreciate Bluebells most? Anyone looking to combine a quiet café vibe with freshly prepared cakes and a touch of local flavor—perfect for families, casual catch-ups, or those seeking a thoughtful catering partner nearby. Best times to visit are likely mid-mornings or early afternoons when the kitchen is freshest and the staff have time to engage.
