Having never visited Jo.Co in Handcross, once I’d heard about their coming to Balcombe, I decided to drop in instead of visiting the cafe at Nymans, which was heaving at the time! And once you’ve tried their coffee you’ll be hooked. They do a tasty and reasonably priced food menu. I’m reliably informed by a good friend that their full English breakfast is on the generous side. Lighter meals are available, with a number of different salad offerings, ideal for the weather at the time of publishing (30th June 2025). Their cakes, including Pastéis De Nata, a Portuguese custard tart, were so tempting I simply had to order another coffee to accompany one.
If you’re visiting to pick up your prescription (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 2pm to 3pm), why not sit down with a great cup of coffee and a tasty cake, guaranteed to make you feel better.
A big thank-you to the customers outside and the team at Jo.Co for agreeing to be photographed.
