Did you know bees love coffee? Bees love coffee plants and are attracted to the caffeine in the coffee flower's nectar. It's not just coffee beans that contain caffeine, their flowers also contain caffeinated nectar. So come on down to The Bumblebee Cafe and try a cup of our delicious coffee for yourself! #TheBumblebeeCafeRC #RowlandsCastle #VillageCafe #BumblebeeCafeRC #coffee #coffeelover

☀️ We can all agree this recent weather has been amazing but with such sunny and hot temperatures, our kitchen area regularly exceeds safe working temperatures. For the health of staff working in the kitchen 🥵, certain days when temperatures are not bearable, the only hot food that we will be served after breakfast will be bacon or sausage sandwiches. We hope you can understand why we can only provide a limited menu and appreciate your understanding. 🐝 #TheBumblebeeCafeRC #RowlandsCastle #VillageCafe #BumblebeeCafeRC #ItsHotInTheKitchen

🐝 Opening Times Update 🐝 The Bumblebee Cafe have had to make a difficult decision and after much deliberation between all involved in our success including staff and customers we have decided to change our opening hours during the period from 1st November 2022 to the 1st March 2023 to Wednesday to Sunday (now closing Monday and Tuesday). The decision has not been taken lightly but with increased costs from suppliers, utilities, etc., and a natural decreased footfall in our autumnal and winter period, the decision although probably frustrating for our dedicated caffeine lovers is a practical one and ensures that The Bumblebee Cafe can continue serving our customers with freshly brewed coffee, delicious cakes and freshly prepared food for the considerable future. Thank you for your understanding. Mark and Kate 🐝

🐝 NOTICE 🐝 Please be aware that this Friday 28th October due to an afternoon event, last food orders are at midday (the kitchen will close at 12.30). The cafe will close promptly at 1.30pm. Thank you 🐝 #TheBumblebeeCafe #Notice #CafeNearMe
