The Mercantile Adventurers

Came across this independent gem whilst waiting in Burgess Hill. The staff (and customers) were absolutely delightful, and it felt like being with family. So fab to support local businesses, and everyone should pop in here. Great coffee, wonderful shop selling a variety of items and a little hair salon to boot!

Chanced upon this great place with lovely owner and all-vegan menu. It was such a treat to be able to choose anything I wanted from the excellent menu. My toasted sandwich was superb. I hope today was the first of many visits.

Great little spot to visit, nice atmosphere, very nice staff, great drinks and snacks, well worth a visit. Highly recommended and will definitely be going again.

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!

Very friendly service and absolutely amazing cake! What more could you ask for?

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!

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.

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

Exceptional service, and food was lovely. Definitely recommend!

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 😋).

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)!

Great atmosphere. Great coffee. Great unusual gifts and furniture.

Lovely vegan food and drinks on offer. Staff are friendly and chatting and definitely cheer me up on a dull grey Friday.
