La Petite France is something of a community hub. Coffees are average price, but wide ranging and even include Dirty Chai. A good cafe in the area with reliable staff. They serve coffee and a range of pastries, and cheeses.

There are 2 cafes of La Petite ???????? ???????? France in Wadhurst High Street. One is on corner of St James's Square, and other quite near to the community hall (or Commeration Hall), on opposite side of High Street. We visited both cafes this week. The one with outdoor tables is a lovely place for a coffee and a chat, tending to be quieter. Today we also popped in to the corner cafe for a couple of cappuccinos and a dirty latte. They were all delicious . There is some comfortable seating both indoors, and outside in the newer cafe, which is roughly opposite the delicatessen in Wadhurst High Street.
