Caffe Verdi in Chichester

Dropped by for a coffee last week. The service was okay though the coffee was nothing to write home about. The first time I tapped my bank card the assistant said it hadn't worked, so I inserted the card and tried again. Checking my statement a few days later I found I'd been charged twice. So instead of £2.50, the coffee cost me £5.00. I've been in touch with the café several times, but had no response. I hope this isn't happening to everyone!

Deep fried sausage with a very poor breakfast. Cheap food. Cheap sauces. Waste oil man walking thru people whilst they are eating. Just not good.

We had lunch right now. Was fine. Nice seating. Wanted breakfast but they said they don’t serve after 12 pm. But everything went well with lunch

Not what it was. Having initially found this place 2 years ago when I thought it was excellent. The tables were cleaned the moment someone left. The food was excellent. The coffee tasted really good. Now it’s just average. Cheaper basic ingredients being used. Basic white bread and fatty bacon. Combined with wholesalers jacks brand brown sauce. Coffee tastes like it’s instant gold blend. No excuse not to have ground coffee in a coffee shop. Tables on the pavement dirty and could do with replacing. Needs better quality products.

It was nice to see Midhurst open so decided to have a coffee at Verdi. Table was not cleared but that seems to be more common nowadays. Have just got back on a lovely three day trip from Scotland, great people, fantastic food, Here's the rub tried to pay with a Scottish £5.00 note Royal Bank of Scotland which we all know is legal UK currency. Was advised the owner does not take Uk/Scottish Currency.

We cycled from Portsmouth. Nice coffee and cake stop. Generous sized cup of coffee and I was pleased with my slice of Victoria Sponge. Lovely sunny patio at the back.

I came with my daughter at 9:45 am it took 40 mins and I had to remind them about my eggs on toast which is only a 5 min dish to make. Extreme lack of any control. Feel sorry for the young staff left to run the place. The toilet was absolutely shocking, there was thick dust/cobwebs and wait for it pubic hairs all over the actual toilet seat which had obviously been left for a long time considering the time of day we visited, there was also medical caps all over the floor and looked like it had not been swept/mopped or even cleaned for at least a week. Very dated and I really struggle to come to terms with how they could forget eggs on toast when the place was almost empty. I don’t want to swear or be rude but I’d rather eat grass at the castle….enjoy

Popped in for a coffee, diet Coke and sandwich. The sandwiches we had were pretty average and I had a cappuccino with it which was very good and enjoyable. However, the place needs a good clean as it is pretty filthy! The waitress, when she brought the food didn't think about cleaning the table as it was covered in crumbs, we did that! There was a dirty old piece of cardboard on the floor and coffee stains on the walls and skirting boards. A couple left shortly after we arrived on a neighbouring table, it took the staff a good 15 mins to clear it and that was because someone sat down at the table. On the table were half used bottles of ketchup etc, is that really necessary....looks a mess. I came here several years ago and enjoyed what we had, but not this time! Looking at the state of the restaurant what are the kitchens like. The website is well out of date, still talking about Covid. We won't be back.

I loved this place. Staff could not have been friendlier. Chips were excellent. Cut above the usual. Good sausages too. Would definitely go back.

Absolutely dreadful service Staff seem more happy to laugh and joke with other rather than serve customers Will not be returning

I dont understand how people can rate this below even 4 stars, the service here was so fast as we ordered 2 milkshakes and 2 full english breakfasts. The staff were so lovely and the food. Was. So good! The milkshakes were probably the best milkshakes we had ever had and everything was so fresh! They have a fish tank with some really lovely fish we watched as we ate. Planning to come here again with the rest of the family!

Incredibly slow service. Staff would rather chat to one another than serve you. Disorganised and chaotic. Rear the other reviews. Disappointed that an independent cafe could get basics so wrong.

Ok, its nice to just watch the world pass by on the tables outside. So long as you're not beside 'mr smoking like a chimney' of course. Please, sad ass smokers, b*gger off when other people are eating. Don't expect value for money. A bacon sandwich (literally two slices of bread and two rashers) was a rather steep £4.50 that gave me a surprise.

Stopped off for coffee and cake. Not a lot of choice but what we were given was fine. Service was quick and efficient and the seating area in the back was pleasant enough. A little disappointed about the 'No stealing toilet roll's sign on the lavatory door as this had been the main purpose of our visit. Joking apart it provided entertainment as patrons came and went and you wondered if they were the offender. Some dodgy looking people in Midhurst.

On our way back from Devon to Eastbourne and desperately in need of a cup of tea and a bite to eat. We were asked ‘you’re not coming for lunch are you?’ which I took to mean we’d be unlucky anyway. We would have liked a cheese roll or something like that. No, they had nothing like that just a selection of cakes and some scones. (This was 1250, so lunchtime). We ordered a scone each and two teas. There were only 3 other people in the cafe sitting down at the time, and one of these was a member of staff. The fruit scone was tough but the cheese scone was a lot better. The worst thing was the lack of any cheerfulness from the lady who served us and we also (as someone else said) noticed pthe rather rude message to customers on the toilet door about not stealing the loo paper etc. Not a welcoming place and it was obvious why it was empty at that time of the day.

Tried to order a breakfast - not serving breakfasts Ordered a coronation chicken baguette - run out of baguettes Ordered a coronation chicken sandwich - sat down, still nothing had arrived 35min later. Got a refund and left. Utter crap. Utterly hopeless. Just don’t bother....

Visited with family on bank holiday weekend. Cafe was quiet, we were surprised to get a table at 12:30., there were lots available. Table dirty but was outside. Ordered 2 ploughman’s, 2 sausage chips and beans and 2 falafel wraps. When ploughman’s delivered waitress advised...

Poor service, long long food wait, incomplete meal, expensive, waitress with sour attitude Ok surroundings, food tasted ok. No offer of explanation or interest whether it was satisfactory which overall it wasnt. Shame, days off are precious and that was a negative

I came here on a Wednesday afternoon to sit down outside with a cup of coffee to finish work off for the day. With Covid restrictions in mind, and only outside tables available, I sat down in the sunshine. However, after 25 minutes of waiting...

Popped in for a spot of breakfast. Very happy with my food - freshly cooked - arrived about 10 minutes after ordering. Good portion size - nice bacon and proper meat sausage. Yes - I will be back!

Sat in the garden. Table had takeaway boxes and cans on with loads of wasps around. After 10 minutes a girl asks what we would like but makes no attempt to clear the table. I reply ‘perhaps get rid of the wasps’, she then clears...

Staff were polite but service was slow. It was table service but took a long time for the food to arrive considering the place wasn't exactly busy. Food was ok, not the best but filled a hole however expensive given quality.

A post covid-19 trip out. Cowdray Ruins and one of the few cafes still open at 4.00pm with outdoor seating. Tea, Lemon Drizzle and an excellent Macciato, a challenge to so many establishments. Tables at the front in full sun, but the gardens at the...

We always eat here when we visit Midhurst. The cafe offers a simple menu and we like the food and drinks on offer here.

Bacon was still raw... And the toast was crunchy. Eggs had way too much yolk but the beans was really really hot.

Visited today. The place is absolutely filthy didnt actually realise how bad it was until sitting waiting for 45 mins for a sandwich and a panini. My partners panini was served with "coleslaw" which consisted of red cabbage and nothing else. Never will I eat...

The most disappointing chocolate twist I ever had it was literally inedible the banana loaf wasn’t much better very dry with little bananas in it and generally place has no ambiance which is the shame as it has good location

This place is very average, having been quite chic and atmospheric. Food is ok but toast and butter means spread not real butter. Lost its charm for me sadly

We visited over a year ago and I thought perhaps things may have improved although after reading some of the reviews I'm not holding out much hope! First of all, it wasn't busy but the food took around 45 minutes to arrive after ordering. The...

It really does depend on who is serving/on duty/which day/time of day as to whether you’ll have a good experience here. The latest saga involves the minimum accepted payment on the card machine - it’s £2.50. However if you want a relaxing latte to drink...

Relaxed, friendly service. Simple menu if tasty, healthy well prepared food. The garden ticjed round the back really a little oasis. Bikes and cyclists welcomed. I'll look forward to returning.

Bakewell tart and walnut cake both scrummy. Comfy seating. Pleasant staff.Table had not been wiped down . There is a slippy step inside ( if you have wet shoes from rain) which I would advocate some antislip matting being used as both I and a much older oap both slipped on ; there are signs but owners should take preventive action .

Called in for quick coffee and tempted by snacks on display. Coffee was very good, cakes were a real treat. Service with a smile. Will go again.

Felt really ripped off here, ordered a ‘skinny’ hot chocolate as it was on the menu to be told they didn’t have skinny milk, I’m really allergic to any other milk, to went across the road to Tesco to buy my own milk, then took it back to them, the proceeded to charge me the full price even though I’d bought 90% of the drink AND didn’t give me my milk back! Rude staff and no customer service at all.

Lovely food friendly staff I going there regularly everey week and I always choose them ... The place it's quite and very welcome and the guys working there really kind

Visit this cafe regularly, lovely atmosphere, good food, great service. Very friendly staff ,owner really nice has a really good relationship with all his staff, lots of laughing and joking.

AVOID! I witnessed the most brutal attack against a young lady who workes there and it was her hiddious boss who treated her with so much disrespect. I have never seen such an aggressive tone. I think a member of her family came in just when needed and he was also up in her face. How he treats people like that is beyond me and how he is the boss of this place is a shock. I hope the young lady quit as no one should work with such an up tight nasty piece of work.

Witnessed today the most awful treatment of a young lady member of staff by the manager. The language targeted at her was truly appalling, when a member of her family entered the premises she too was subject to his rage, wagging his finger in her face and swearing. Avoid this place at all cost. Cockburn around the corner is recommended.

After always diving past and the coffee shop always looking busy. We went in for a coffee, coffee was boiling and service was slow considering cafe was not that busy. Perhaps we picked a bad day.

Food and service was perfectly nice ; quick friendly and tasty. Had I gone to the toilet prior to eating I couldn't have eaten there.

Cafe mostly empty at lunchtime. After we visited we know why.

Having tried and failed to get lunch at Cowdray went here. Not the best ambiance with tables on the pavement or limited inside seating. However the sandwiches were excellent and freshly prepared together with a good cup of tea. Service also quick and friendly. If you just want a quick snack worth a visit.

Disappointed. The cakes looked uninteresting and staff looked uninterested. There was half an hour at least before closing time but they were sweeping the floor in the dining area which is open to where we were still sitting and eating. Appreciate it needs to be done but not while there are customers, that should be done when closed!

We have been here twice in two weeks now with our 5-year-old niece. We had paninis and my husband and niece sampled the cakes which I'm told were very good! The staff were friendly and the toilet was clean although the handle is hanginf off! We will definitely be back.

I was pleased to stop in Midhurst midway on a long walk and popped in to Cafe Verdi. After a Tuna sandwich, a pot of tea and Coffee Gateaux I left suitably refreshed. There was a great cake collection and it was a difficult choice.

My wife and I went for a stroll around the antique shops in Midhurst. We decided to stop for some lunch and spotted “Cafe Verdi”.

we ve been many times for coffee and chat and friends and business. very nice friendly place.the coffee is very good , nice relax service and atmosphere.lovely cakes on display too .

We have visited the cafe a number of times over the past few years when popping out for a Sunday drive and a cooked brekkie. It has been good in the past, if basic surroundings popular with bikers, cyclists and walkers, but gradually been less enjoyable on recent visits since December. Tables and menus have been getting stickier and the quality not so good and today’s service was so disappointing we will not be returning. Arrived just before 12, about to order a big Super Stack brekkie, hubby let a lady go in front as her coffees were cold. Ordered Super Stacks at 12 only for the chef to call out “No more Super Stacks” as it was now 12... So he asked if we could have an All Day Breakfast (seems bizarre that hash browns and mushrooms would be a problem as the only addition to the All Day Breakfast!) instead but perhaps with a few mushrooms on one which we would happily pay extra for as we travel 40 miles to get there when we visit... Waitress said it was unlikely but she would try. Breakfast came...no mushrooms despite missing 12pm due to being gentlemanly to the lady needing her coffees reheating, it was average quality bacon, solid poached eggs, frozen sausages with bony bits and the clincher was a hair on the toast and after finding another one in my beans I gave up eating altogether. Not worth the drive any more - could understand if the menu changed from 12 but they still sell the Breakfast just without mushrooms and hash browns! And as for the poor hygiene, this needs addressing. We won’t be back again, will try one of the others on the high street.

Rude staff, slow service. We got stared at as soon as we walked in, the spoken to like if we were not welcome for one second. Left after 10 min and breakfast at the 7 Fish instead.

Popped in for breakfast before a long journey home, full English was good, wife had a sausage sandwich. No complaints.

since this café has changed hands it is a very poorly run business the service is slow and the food sub standard. we have been going there for 5 or 6 years we live about 15 miles away and made a point of going there most sundays for breakfast. the staff are untrained and not people friendly, everywhere is dirty the floors are sticky as are the tables it needs a deep clean and a spruce up. a bit of staff training wouldn't go amiss but having said that the owners could do with a bit of customer relationship training as they are not very friendly either. needless to say we wont be using it again.

We popped in for a lunchtime snack after a few hours travelling. The menu is quite extensive and offers a selection of sandwiches, paninis, jacket potatoes etc. There is also a wide range of cakes. The staff were friendly and orders are taken at the till not at the table. I've tried to be constructive in my review and have marked down to 3 stars due to the lack of attention to detail. The tables need to be cleaned better and ideally need replacing as they are quite tatty. The floor was also sticky but I appreciate that is harder to keep clean when customers are present. It's a shame because it could have so much more potential with some sprucing up. Food was okay but not fantastic. Prawns were the smallest I've ever seen and looked more like shrimps!

Lovely cafe lots on the menu brilliant food good staff, go there twice a week Paul the man that owns it is nice good price

We decided to sit outside as we'd been here before, but not on a weekeday when North Street is heavily laden with traffic, so we probably wouldn't do that again.

Stopped off for a quick tea and scone and couldn't be more impressed - service good, tea really tasty and scone was soft and crumbly and the jam made it really scrummy

Arrived on route to Cass Sculpture Foundation, found a table, ordered food at the counter, staff pleasant, reasonably priced. Ordered two Full English breakfasts, Latte and bottled drinks. Breakfast came in 10/15mins, freshly cooked, delicious food, Latte, ok, but nothing to write home about. If we are in this direction again, would be happy to re-visit.

We stopped here for hot drinks on our way home from a weekend away.The lady serving gave us one of the warmest welcomes we have ever received at a café. She seemed genuinely interested in where we were from and why we were visiting Midhurst.We had a coffee and a tea and had time to see the lovely garden at the back of the café - probably a nice spot if the sun is shining.

Stopped here for lunch and sat in gardens at back. .good sun spot if you can find it in august! Good coffee. .good sized flat whites.. good tuna melt panini and tuna mayo sandwich

Called in en route to the South Coast. Wonderful Full English in spacious and relaxed surroundings in a delighful little town.

May be would have but the young staff did not seem to know what was happening. "Have you still got the soup?" "I'll find out" with no follow-through. Why we didn't stay for lunch was the sight of a uniformed staff member with her feet up on another chair talking to another equally uniformed staff member seemingly oblivious to customers looking to sit down. Who owns this place and what investment return to they expect?

We had a light lunch, but found the young female staff rather offhand. The food was acceptable but nothing special.

Arrived around 3.00pm, sat next to people eating on other tables. As we studied the menus, a couple next to us were served, and two minutes later we went to order. We were told the kitchen was closed. I pointed out that they advertise all-day dining, that the same girl had just served a couple next to us, and could they not have perhaps mentioned that they were closing the kitchen (for whatever reason). Staff couldn't have cared less. We were told that yes, they're an all-day diner, but they "didn't know" why the kitchen was now closed. It's a shame, a few years ago Cafe Verdi was good, but it's been on a relentlessly downwards trajectory since then. Don't bother with it - there are many other options in Midhurst that are FAR better.

Lovely staff, really good food (particularly the homemade cakes)Service very good, coffee was excellentAlso a very nice fish tank All in all worth a visit. Would recommend 10/10

I visited today with my husband. We were on our way back from Goodwood and thought we would stop off in Midhurst for breakfast on our way back home. I ordered the vegetarian breakfast and my husband the full stack. My vegetarian breakfast was awful. I had ordered fried eggs and white slice, and got poached eggs with granary bread instead. My breakfast was predominately beans and mushrooms, and if you looked closely there were 2 tomato halves on a rather greasy plate. I have had better breakfasts else where. I think they need to be more creative in their vegetarian option as it was disappointing.

My husband and I visited this café with our two children. We were just looking for a couple of coffees, mini hot chocolates and a little sweet treat for our girls. So nothing complicated. The counter where they display all the cakes and pastries was filthy. We should have really walked straight out then - but I felt that was rude and didn't. In hindsight it's far ruder that they open a disgusting unhygienic café everyday.So we ordered and found a table, as soon as we sat down we noticed that the whole café was unclean. The coffee table was sticky, the floor around the coffee table was sticky and the chairs were sticky. I'm not sure if this place has EVER been cleaned. Our pastries and drinks arrived quickly, my girls asked for teaspoon each to eat their marshmallows with. On the table in a foul jam jar were three teaspoons that were dirty and used - just the thing you want to give your child to eat her marshmallows with. The pastries were old and dry.I will never return to this café, I can't believe places like this manage to stay open. It is no wonder that large chains do so well when small independents let you down so badly.

The mushrooms in my breakfast were the most delicious I have ever had in a cafe breakfast. Properly done not left to stew. My whole breakfast was cooked like 'my mum might make it'. Poached Eggs excellent too. Well worth stopping off when travelling through on the A272

Tasty,fresh sandwiches, fast and friendly service, simple menu great value for money,will definitely return.

This tired café was not very clean, we had to ask for our table to be cleaned. There were only about 8 customers but we had to wait 30 minutes for a very average toasted sandwich. By the time this arrived our pot of tea was luke warm. I will definitely give this a miss next time I am in Midhurst.

Worth popping in good value cosy setting. Lovely staff, great cup of tea.Just what was needed! Nice range od sandwiches and fillings. Seating outdoors as well as indoors.

Decided to go with the family for a walk around Cowdrey then visit the new Cafe Fitzcanes which we heard had opened recently, to my surprise it was closed. How a new venture can close at one of the busiest times of the year is beyond me, thank god for good old Verdi although they where full they found us a table after a few minutes wait and as usual the staff were great and the food excellent. We won't be bothering with the other place, will be sticking with good old reliable Caffe Verdi.

Weary and hungry, we were delighted to find this spotless Cafe open so early.There was a wide choice of food both hot and cold, and an interesting array of goodies to purchase, jams etc:The staff were friendly and helpful and we would definitely go again and thoroughly recommend it.

We arrived just after school to find the kitchen closed. The staff were rude when we pointed out that we had started our order in time and had exceeded the allotted time by 3 minutes. We still ordered drinks and ice creams, but had to ask for a refund when they closed all the tables! They were incredibly hostile and rude. Informing us "good luck finding anywhere else after they had flung our refund at us.

I visit Cafe Verdi on a regular basis - about once a month and absolutely enjoy their full English breakfasts.

Excellent choice of sandwiches and cakes. Main menu good with fairly large portions. Great customer service. Bit bland in atmosphere and when we visited the day was quite warm so door yo garden open, normally not a problem but outside was a heavy smoker and the smoke came into the main dining area. Not nice when you do not smoke! Otherwise good prices and helpful staff.

We took three children in for tea at 3.55 chose drinks from the menu and picked ice creams. Then got told at 4:03pm that we couldn't order food as the kitchen closed at 4pm. They then informed us that most of the place was cleaned for closing and we could sit outside the front by a main road. We asked for our money back. The staff practically threw the money at us and said "good luck finding anywhere else to go"! This wasn't our first bad experience there, the food is over priced and poor quality. The place has changed hands and service has declined. It's not clean either. I'd suggest trying somewhere else.

There are several excellent Cafe/restaurants in Midhurst so i wouldn't want to pick above the other.Caffe Verdi is very good with seating outside to the front and rear.

We were recommended this café by a waitress in another restaurant, so thought it worth a try. The teaspoons were in a container on all the tables and we found them all to be rather soiled (in need of putting in the dishwasher for a thorough clean). The bacon was not cooked enough and had white streaks on top of it (probably high water content). The bread had only just been shown the toaster and wasn't toasted at all. The scrambled eggs were dry and unappetising. Not cheap and definitely one we will give a miss in future.

We come here nearly every week and its going downhill. During the week the tables are not kept clean and food is often served on unwiped tables. The food is usually good but went in today and noticed there are different staff at the weekend. Young lad kept tables clean but food was terrible. Two of us had jacket potatoes which were solid and undercooked and the beans were tepid. I told the lad why I had left it and he apologized and disappeared. A girl later poked her head round the corner and then the lad came back and said he would take my plate and get me another. By this time the others had all finished and we had to leave, which I told him. I had already paid so that was that, we left and there was no further mention of the food and no apology from any senior member of staff, we didn't even see any other member of staff. The place needs a good clean, the floors are dirty, the toilet floor and door are filthy and the cushioned seats have rips and have dried food on them. The place is reasonably priced and the food used to be good but it needs a good shake up and some enthusiastic staff. As I say we go there regularly but I think we may start going somewhere else unless it picks up and is cleaned up.

Went in for a couple of takeaway sandwiches which normally isn't a problem but when I asked for a cucumber sandwich I ended up with some cucumber and some bread on a bag as per the photo.

Came for lunch with a friend visiting from America. I ordered the super stack (with extra bacon and super super crispy) and she ordered poached eggs with a side of crispy bacon, and two iced coffees. Coffee took almost half an hour to get to us. Really tasty coffee but definitely not worth the wait. My bacon was very undercooked, no attempt to make it crispy had been made whatsoever. It was also missing the extra bacon I had paid for. I was also missing the mushrooms, to then be told they had ran out, but I wasn't allowed another sausage I would have to pay extra. When the bacon came back it was almost burnt, (probably a F u from the chef, but jokes on him I like it that way) My friends meal was just awful. She was basically given hard boiled eggs on sloppy toast with a side of half grilled bacon. Also. It took a good 40/45 mins to get to us when the restaurant was not busy. I've worked in hospo for 10 years now, and if a chef can't handle a quiet lunchtime order, he probably shouldn't be a chef. Oh! Also, hearing the chef shout loudly at the staff because he hadn't been given a drink yet created a lovely atmosphere...I felt sorry for the wait staff, they were very apologetic for the mistakes and I know it wasn't their fault. So props to them for having to deal with him on a daily basis!!

Popped in o the our way through Midhurst on the A272. Tables outside at the back are a real sun trap and much quiter than the seating outside at the front (Midhurst being on the popular A272 motorbike route). Mind you moving the wobbly table for one tucked away in the corner and not being used was beyond the initiative of the young person serving in this garden area. Still another customer helped. The tuna melt panini and the strawberry milkshake were excellent. All round I would highly recommend this cafe. The staff are just a little young and inexperienced but they make up for this with enthusiasm and politeness.

Visit very often and since new management have always been very pleased. Today however was let down as the place needed a good clean, food order was wrong twice and we had to ask for cutlery 3 times. Very unfortunate as usually love it here

I do love a good afternoon tea and the home made cakes are second to none. Got a lovely outdoor seating area.The other half had a beautiful Pannini and salad.Staff were very friendly and its just a very pleasant place to spend an hour.Would definitely recommend & will go back again.

Popped into Midhurst on the way to Chichester and decided to have lunch at cafe verdi at the top of the high street. The coffee and food were excellent with staff that obviously enjoyed their work very happy and chattyWill visit here again when I come to midhurst.

I asked for 2 sausages and 2 rashers of bacon, and I was told we can't do that breakfast is finished!! So I said "you're doing sausage sandwiches and bacon rolls.....", but if we did it for then everyone would want to choose their own. I said surely that was good for business but I just got a patronising smile.So I had a sausage sandwich which was very nice- although it had a large salad with it which wasn't on the menu and which I didn't want, so I left it!Good food but a crazy way to run a business - don't give customers what they want and give them something they don't!!!

Can't believe the review disrespectful, we were there when the person was oiling the tables out side the smell of teak oil was to my taste quite pleasant but it may not be every body cup of tea. What I can't understand is why when there are at least 4 areas to sit and eat your food would you pick an area you find offensive. As far as the food was concerned the prawn and avocado salad was excellent and the steak banquette was one of the best I've had. And the staff could not have been more helpful. Will definitely be going back

The food is good, but it doesn't taste too good with the smell of furniture oil in the air. Went to have lunch with my husband today and the owner is completely oblivious (or doesn't care) about the very strong smell of furniture oil as he paints the tables just a few feet away. Should have walked out but we had paid at the till. Full DIY with paintbrush going on amidst people eating...you couldn't make it up. Gave this place the benefit of the doubt when it had new ownership but not taking the chance of a fence being painted next time. Far more respectful owners in Midhurst....walk a little further and you will find them.

Wow, the millionaires shortbread has to be the best I have ever tasted. All the cakes looked fresh, of generous size and a good selection. Just what was needed after a bike ride.

It's a cafe not a michelin restaurant, very friendly staff nice panini's and baguettes with nice salad garnish , decent prices with lots of choices, all you'd expect of a cafe

I come to Verdi several times a week, I always have curly fries and a strawberry milkshake!!! They are just the best by far!!!I also tried the Smith & Western special!!! I'm not a big eater but was delicious!!

Day trip with 2 friends to explore Midhurst. Popped in for tea and cake around 4pm. Tables in room at the back were covered with dirty dishes from lunchtime which we cleared ourselves and waitress didn't even wipe table when she bought our order. Drinks and scones were OK but very disappointed with service and cleanliness :( Dined later at Olive and Vine just down the road which was fabulous

Ordered two vegetarian breakfasts. The scrambled eggs were revolting. I don't know how they cooked them but it must have involved a lot of water, as there was a lot of it sloshing about in the bottom of the plate. The mushrooms were also disgusting. They looked like they were a couple of days old and drenched in a horrible mixture of butter and water. The two teas that came with it (costing extra) were simply a tea bag floating in a mug. They couldn't even be bothered to bring us a pot of tea. I glanced into the kitchen and saw the slovenly-looking cook, whose trousers were covered in food debris, I should have walked out there and then. £13.50 for two meals that weren't even worth half of that. I couldn't be bothered to complain as there was so much wrong with the meals and I just wasn't in the mood to have a row. A horrible experience that left me miserable for the rest of the morning.

If you're looking for a light lunch in relaxed surroundings, the cafe Verdi offers a good selection of paninis, toasties, baked potatoes and light meals. Well prepared and friendly service, and very reasonably priced. Excellent home made cakes available and a good selection of delicatessen goods available. An informal place conveniently located on the High Street.

Good service and menu.Poached eggs were excellant.But why can't restaurants and cafe's serve food on warm plates?This is not just caffe verdi but most places we have visited.

A modern looking bistro style cafe with pleasing décor and comfortable chairs. Good selection of cakes and drinks. Breakfasts offered from 0800 -1200. Light lunches, sandwiches, paninis, toasties, etc. I thought the prices seemed very fair. Loads better than any coffee shop chain.

we went twice on our visit to midhurst and had lovely coffee service a bit slow but worth the wait cheers

My friend and I visit Midhurst every week and have been to most of the coffee shops. We tried the Caffe Verdi a few weeks ago and both commented how slow the service was. We tried it again today and the service was even worse. We gave our order at the counter and then the waitress took seven other customers orders before making our coffee. She did apologise but they really need to get someone making the coffee and another taking the orders especially when it is busy.We won't be going back

lots of places to eat in Midhurst but not many serving simple cafe food. Food was good but all staff we came into contact with miserable and uninviting. Whilst there 4 people walked out commenting that staff were rude. lots of dirty tables which had been cleared and needed a good wipe down. Improve your customer service and you could be a fab cafe. There at 13.50 and the middle aged lady serving did not smile once and looked very put out at having to serve customers As a cafe you obviously dont need to make money

Food OK, no garnish, crisps or anything was served with our sandwiches. Tables dirty, floor dirty, tables not being cleared. Try Garton's up the road instead!

I recently stopped in Midhurst to charge my electric car (EV) and fancied a coffee whilst the rapid charger did its job. Although the usual suspects were there in terms of high street brands with their somewhat bland and overheated coffee I thought I'd try Caffe Verdi. The service was friendly and helpful. I bought cappuccino to go, which was competitively priced and was also tempted to buy a slice of Millionaire's Shortbread (the caramel and chocolate slice thingy) plus a couple of interesting almond pastry twists to share at the end of my journey. I was delighted to find that the coffee had good flavour and was well balanced. The Milionaire's was stick, sweet, crumbly and delicious and the pastry twists were well received by my host when I arrived at the door of my journey.Top marks for great coffee and great service! Much appreciated on a long journey.
