Food Quality and Menu Options
Pros:
"One of the best breakfasts I've ever had, and I love a breakfast! Free range eggs and meat, well cooked and beautifully put together."
"We tried the Reuben Muffin, Salt beef hash (with extra cheddar) and poached eggs on toast... 4 empty plates later, job done, very tasty."
"My partner is not a coeliac but had a tasty burger and chips."
"The avocado and salmon is very fresh and well cooked and the burger is just outstanding."
"The coffees are really tasty and the personnel very nice."
"Food was really good with quality ingredients."
"The sweetcorn hash is the greatest... and the staff always super friendly."
"The best breakfast in town! Would have been 5 stars but the coffee lets it down, too bitter for my taste."
Cons:
"Unfortunately, we found a long brown hair in our scrambled eggs... Upon receiving the new plate we found another hair."
"Unfortunately the mushrooms tasted like they had a pot of garlic salt emptied over them."
"50 min wait for food, 3 tiny pancakes, raw watery poached eggs no sense that they know what they are doing."
"My sons meal was returned 3 times, fried egg rock hard, hash brown almost incinerated."
"It's a busy BTP. Food took a very long time to arrive and was disappointing. The bacon was overdone to the point of being burnt."
"My boss breakfast ranks alongside a Wetherspoons effort, really poor."
"Naomi was very friendly host and explained the ordering system to us before allowing us to choose our own table. A server called Phoebe then took our order and helped me make modifications to my breakfast as I do not like eggs."
"My milkshake was cool but not cold enough and the salad we ordered was devoid of avocado."
Service and Staff Attitude
Pros:
"Most wonderful and kind staff! Big thank you to Abi who was so lovely when my my lost her phone too."
"Abi, was the perfect host extremely attentive! Service with a smile every time!!"
"Our server was friendly and very welcoming. He took the time to seat us in an area that worked with my needs as a wheelchair user - without making me feel awkward."
"Food was lovely as always. Was seated very quickly by Abi who was very friendly and had great customer service skills."
"Great food, amazing coffee, one of my favourite places for lunch. A little on the higher price end but you get what you pay for. I recommend the chips! Yummy! Bobby was a wonderful server."
"A group of me and my mum friends came here they were extremely accommodating for 9 of us and our prams with our young babies."
"Friendly, helpful staff. We had a breakfast and at last someone who knows how to make scrambled eggs."
"Such a lovely place to go for brunch or a coffee, Ellie was amazing, so friendly and lovely!! the service was impeccable and we had the best time!! Would 100% go back!"
Cons:
"NOT DISABILITY FRIENDLY - Went here yesterday with my two children, one of whom is disabled... I explained that he couldn't stand for long as he is disabled and was tired so asked if we could sit down and wait. The lady said unfortunately not and he'd just have to stand and wait."
"Shockingly bad. Don't bother. Waited 10 minutes to be seated after 3 different members of staff just stared at us and walked on by, (it wasn't busy)."
"Limited gluten-free options which was a bit of a disappointment."
"Staff are really nice but, toilets were dirty, the app does not work on Samsung phones."
"The location is great but the staff are so slow. Our food was sitting waiting to picked up for over 10 minutes."
"Managed to make eating out during a pandemic feel comfortable. Ordering is contactless, quick, and easy."
"Service...if you have time to wait..sorry guys something really not working...45 minutes from order to service... Lots of staff, doing nothing..clearly!"
"Went this Saturday and waited 45 minutes for food then it came out luke warm and with one egg raw inside."
Ambiance and Accessibility
Pros:
"Great cafe/restaurant just off the main shopping street in Chichester town centre. Tones of tables available and really great for family’s or group with children."
"The space is light and airy, with plenty of room between the tables and booths."
"Accessibility: fantastic from the moment I rolled through the door! I use an electric wheelchair and am always nervous about trying new restaurants. But they've clearly thought about access when designing this space."
"The cafe is clean and has a nice relaxed contemporary vibe which feels special and not cookie cutter."
"Amazing for meet ups with mum friends, the space is great for prams even if there’s more than one of you with one! The tables are really well spaced out so there’s plenty of room for babies and toddlers and all the paraphernalia that comes with them."
"This is a place I can see myself coming back to for a post shopping-spree lunch, to meet friends or to grab a drink and disappear into a book on a rainy afternoon."
"They are also dog friendly. The exposed beams and wooden flooring make for a warm cosy vibe, and the windows around the perimeter give lots of natural light."
"It's always busy, noisy, bustling, a veritable collection of Chichester's cosmopolitan outlook. Really great coffee, pleasant staff and easily the best bacon in town."
Cons:
"It can take up to 35 mins to get just a coffee and people frequently bring incorrect items to your table (perhaps this could be fixed by going back to having waiters rather than table numbers)."
"If you see yourself to a table you can expect to be kicked off of it as apparently they have already given it to someone else who has only just walked in through the door and happen to have randomly been greeted even though you have been there for 5 mins not having seen anyone."
"It is genrally very poorly cleaned which made me feel a little nervous during covid easing."
"Once inside the food and drinks are sky high and there are kids screaming so loudly that I cannot even talk to who I'm with."
"Sad to see the place I will not go to again, dirty floors and dirty stained sofas. That combined with barking dogs so conversation with my family was hard....very expensive...😕"
"The atmosphere is so welcoming and homely. They have sofas for casual seating, they're family friendly, and they're also dog friendly!"
"Large cafe of East St. You wait to be seated on arrival and can order from the counter or on line. Seating is nicely spaced. Coffee was very good and not too expensive."
"Very busy and took a while for food to arrive but when it did (boston burger) very tasty."
