Bumbles Cafe in Chichester

Disappointed cold breakfast. Overcharged. Definitely not worth the money. Because we asked for the breakfast to rewarmed and said we were disappointed owner said she took money off of bill but actually overcharged us ! Disgraceful attitude !

Amazing food lovely staff good value for money enjoyed the atmosphere highly recommend look forward to coming back soon

We knew it was going to be good as was very popular, managed to get a table and the staff were attentive and polite. The selection of cakes and treats was epic. Would recommend

Visit to Chichester came across the Bumbles Cafe and Bistro a family run business a warm welcome from the owner I had a lovely pot of Peppermint tea and my wife had a late and I was tempted by a generous piece of bread pudding with custard some more treats on offer so next time we are Chichester we be calling in. Well worth a visit.

Great food fabulous service worth every penny go see, the great atmosphere, if you are a local or visitor. Upstairs seating as well

Cheap low budget food, it really wasn’t great. Would not recommend and would not go back, quite an old and dusty place with lots of clutter

This cozy cafe was the perfect spot for a quick bite for me and my husband. The staff was wonderful and friendly. We felt very welcomed and the cafe was beautifully decorated. We will be coming back!

Lovely homemade soup, attention to detail, the butter comes in an individual pot and is easy to spread as not straight from the fridge. Friendly welcoming staff. An all round pleasant visit. We will return.

Somehow we have not come across this delightful cafe before. A real oversight as it is excellent. We were only there for quick coffee/tea & cake, but service was quick & friendly & the cakes were outstanding. A real find.

Lovely cafe, friendly staff. Very quick service. Teacake and croissants were delicious. Very interesting and quirky rooms upstairs. Definitely worth a visit.

Parked in Avenue de Chartres car park and then on our walk into the city centre stumbled upon Bumbles and so glad we did. An independent cafe serving excellent good value coffee with table service! No waiting in a queue! Homemade cakes looked scrumptious but alas the diet and Christmas approaching stopped us sampling. Interesting interior with upstairs seating. Toilet was first class albeit could be an issue for those with restricted mobility. Breakfast and lunch menu looked good. Thoroughly recommend.

Enjoyed a lovely light breakfast for two in this cafe. Friendly staff in a relaxed and quirky environment. A reasonably priced menu plus various craft items on sale. There are lots of cafes to chose from in Chichester - this is definitely one of the best!

Had been waiting to try this little cafe unfortunately disappointed. My husband and I both had toasted sandwhiches which were cold and the fillings were sparse to say the least. I asked for cheese and tomato and the cheese was so thin you could see the bread and was filled with cherry tomatoes straight from the fridge. Staff were very accommodating but real lack of choice especially vegetarian.

I've been here several times now and will continue to return. It's a quirky little place that I nearly walked past on my first return visit. The decor is so wonderful and unusual, and each of the three upstairs rooms are different. There's plenty to look at while enjoying a drink or having a spot of lunch. The front two rooms face out onto the street, so you can watch people rushing here & there while you relax.

What a joy. Went for lunch with my wife. I had a delicious homemade steak pie and my wife had the all day breakfast. This place is just great..a proper traditional cafe with friendly staff. Oh and the homemade cakes look amazing so will definitely be leaving room for one of those on our next visit.

If you want a good quality nicely cooked breakfast then this is the place for you I had the full English with extra bubble and squeak which was lush I could quite easily eat a plate of that on its own chuck in the usual suspects and your on to a winner wife had a croissant and a flat white I had a large latte very nice coffe all round superb lovely people nice decor clean and tidy 20 quid well worth it thanks guys see you soon

It was all a little bit ruined by the fact that I ordered 2 all day breakfasts at £8.95 each which was fine and a pot of tea for two which was fine. The surprise came when I went to pay the bill and which came to £26.30. When I asked why it was more than as per the menu the lady said the bubble and squeak was extra which when the order was placed there was no mention of paying extra for it she simply asked would you like bubble and squeak or white or brown toast. Cheeky little way to squeeze an extr Four or five quid out if someone which in my mind is naughty. Would never go back as a result which is their loss as I eat out a lot. Meal was quite small anyway.

Very poor service and attitude towards adults with needs, shouted at one. Didn't talk to this person but looked at carers for his choices When putting our food in front of us just plonked our food down heavily, staff leaning across customers

Fast friendly service. Lovely food, especially the ginger sponge and ice cream. Nice venue. Our first visit but will return next time we are in Chichester.

This cafe is excellent, lovely friendly staff who look after their customers every need. Full of interesting and fun things. The oat latte and peach cake were delicious.

This place is a little gem. We absolutely love it! We have to have the wonderful home made cakes and coffee whenever we go to chichester. The staff here are wonderful. Always so friendly and can't do enough for you. I would highly recommend this lovely place. I do recommend it to all my friends.

What a lovely afternoon tea! Not too sure the staff here could do much more to make it anymore enjoyable, they regularly checked in with us. We had a selection of sandwiches which included salmon and cream cheese, cheese and pickle and ham and cheese. Lush! Perfect amount of cakes and scones... we couldn't actually finish it all. What makes this place, other than the staff, is the decor. Each room has it's own theme and interesting nic-nacs including Ethel 😂 Can't wait to return, hope to see you soon - thank you!

Four of us had booked afternoon tea for a friends birthday. We had never seen an afternoon tea like it. The sandwiches were made with thick bread with crusts left on and cut with no finesse, with them falling apart. The tea was served in...

Delicious traditional English food. And a warm welcome - the owner recognised me and my guitar from my previoue visit 7 months ago! I am gping back tomorrow for Sunday lunch.

My wife and I were on our way to Halnaker to stay. On arrived in Chichester at 3pm we decided we needed a late lunch. Found Bumbles and made the choice to give it a go. We were the only people there. I guess that...

We were gladly welcomed by the lovely owners. The place is cozy and got a homey feels. We were the 1st customers of the day, so we were served with warm food. Homemade soup of the day was delish and the all-day breakfast was impressive...

Made welcome on entry,seated quickly order taken.Ordered steak pie with mash peas carrots seen on menu in window.Apple pie to follow with a pot of tea. My friend ordered sausage mash peas and carrots followed by rhubarb tart with ice cream with a pot of...

This place is so small I managed to walk past it many times without noticing it. I was quite excited when I walked in, I thought it was charming and possibly a hidden gem. Unfortunately we were both really disappointed with the food which was...

Unfortunately the sandwich I ordered was inedible. This is the second time I have had a bad experience here with the food so I will not be returning.

Avoid!! Owner VERY Rude, not a way to run a business. Stopped by to have a bite to eat. Sat down and put my coat on the back of the chair next to me. A café worker reached behind me to get some cakes; Suddenly...

We wanted something small to eat (snack?) and passed this cafe by accident on the way to our B&B. We always like to support small independent business so went in. We were welcomed by the friendly proprietors and looked at the menu. We both chose...

Having read a good review in a local paper about Bumbles Cafe on South Street in Chichester, we decided to visit the cafe for afternoon tea, a service they have recently started offering. We were warmly welcomed by both the owner Lesley and other members...

Lovely atmosphere, lovely staff, lovely food (with really good portions), what more could you want. Highly recommended.

A fabulous vegetarian cafe. Great service and great home cooked food. Well worth a visit- and can recommend their scones!

Definitely recommend this little cafe. The staff were very friendly, it was clean and our breakfast was very tasty!

A lovely family run cafe that caters for all needs. Superb range of hot food or if u want just cake they have so much choice.

I highly recommend this charming little eatery, 4 delightful quirky little rooms spread over 2 floors. I had the roast belly lunch with creamy mash, peas,gravy and apple sauce followed by rhubarb pie and custard. It was delicious, the ladies who run the establishment are...

We have dined with you before and really looked forward to doing so yesterday July 23 but when we arrived just before 3pm you were shut - no reason given. Such a shame!

Went for lunch today, Really friendly welcome.charming cafe through out. food was outstanding and well presented. Prices amazing for what we had. Will certainly be back.

We called in for lunch, and although the staff were ok, the service wasn't great. Young girl spilt drinks bringing them to table. Had to ask her for a serviette to mop up, she seemed surprised (didn't want drinks dripping on table or our clothing)...

Because I am just encouraging other people to fill it up so when I next want tea & cake in Chichester I will end up in N*ros or something instead of this comfy friendly cafe/restaurant. The team from the cafe by the Harbour in Bosham...

Terrible experience, do not go here. I've never felt so unwelcome before. I walked in to the (empty) cafe and politely inquired whether they had plug sockets and was immediately told in a rude and patronising tone by a member of staff "only if you...

This place is great, I have been a few times and I have loved it. Welcoming staff and very polite, not sure what the last review is about… this place is 5 stars. Will be back again.

Such friendly staff. Great decor. Every table has a unusual salt & pepper set. The stairs are quite steep . Cakes are very reasonably priced. Nice quality coffee.

I never normally write a bad review for any where but today had an awful experience. Went in by myself for a treat before a midwife appointment as I am 6 months pregnant, and when my plate came out after about three minutes of being...

Had a coffee before lunch, super friendly efficient service nice hot drinks. Disappointed at our lunch venue so returned for coffee and cake as desert super coffee and walnut cake.

Visited today for lunch and found all the staff to be friendly and helpful as I had to be careful due to a Gluten free diet, nothing was too much trouble. I opted for a Tuna Jacket Jacket potato with a very tasty side salad...

We came in for lunch and as soon as we sat down before we had even picked up a menu, the lady who I believe is the manager / owner stood over us and repeatedly asked for our drinks order, even though I asked for...

Came in for lunch and it was terrible. Hair in food, management weren’t interested in resolving this. Won’t be going there again. I’ve Had better food in Wetherspoons and a lot cheaper too.

Amazing little gem found in the back streets of Chichester on the way to Chichester railway station. Nested just outside of the high street this family run business is not to be missed. We had bacon roll each which was tasty and fresh and home...

Portion size was good, served with a tastey salad. Was very satisfied with the friendliness & service

It was just what I needed this morning after shopping in Chichester. A welcoming smile and tasty lunch with pot of tea. This small fronted cafe can easily be missed but worth a visit.

The most charming and clearly loved cafe I have been to in the entirety of Chichester… and anywhere surrounding for that matter! My sandwich was perhaps the best sandwich I can remember tasting in a long time, so generously filled, so tasty with clear quality...

On the outskirts of the town centre it is easy to miss, but we clocked it as we walked in to Chichester and made a beeline (!) to it at lunchtime. Upstairs is lovely, 3 rooms to choose from, with lovely decorative touches to each...

We just wouldn't think of going anywhere else now. From our first visit shortly after opening, Bumbles has been a delight. Friendly staff, good service and, above all, extremely good and fresh food. Nothing fancy about the place, just really nice food prepared and served...

Lovely cafe… the owners are very friendly … if your looking for homemade taste and get sick of all the big chain restaurants then come here… supporting local is better anyway. The food is just gorgeous I had the homemade steak pie mash and it...

First takeaway coffee after the lock down. Nothing complicated just a black americano. I had to tip it away. it was undrinkable.

My family visited this cafe last week, it’s gorgeous inside and the staff couldn’t be friendlier! The only thing lacking is vegetarian/vegan options

Nice little cafe, friendly couple that runs it. Cake was good and the coffee was too, I would recommend a visit.

The poor family must have opened only days before having to close due to the dreaded virus. What a relief they have survived. A really nice and relaxed interior coupled with friendly service. The food is clearly produced fresh and is delicious. A wonderful looking...
