Tunbridge Wells Town Centre wholefoods cafe and coffee shop
Welcome to Basil Tunbridge Wells, Town Centre
We are an award-winning, local independent wholefoods cafe committed to offering our customers fresh, nourishing, wholesome food in a visually appealing, welcoming environment.
We serve a unique daily offering of freshly prepared quiches, imaginative salads, great coffee, fabulous cakes, and so much more!
Each item is created, especially for you, from scratch at our Tunbridge Wells production kitchen by our in-house chefs, using seasonal ingredients sourced from trusted Kent suppliers.
Please find yourself a table at our cafe and coffee shop, right in the heart of Tunbridge Wells town centre. You can expect a warm welcome. We operate on a first come, first served basis. We do, however, offer bookings at our Tunbridge Wells St John’s Rd café.
Order at the counter, sit back, and enjoy something ‘basilicious’ – straight from our kitchen to your table…
