Crispins in Chichester

Just had very disappointing breakfast , mushrooms on toast ( old frozen or cheap packaged mushrooms) tasted disgusting , if you are charging £30 .00 for one vegan breakfast, mushrooms on toast , one tea and one coffee at least make sure the food is fresh , coffee wasn’t nice and vegan breakfast sub standard . However cup of tea was nice and lovely staff . Disappointed customers .

Such a lovely cafe in Chichester, if you’re looking for good food with a nice ambience , good service and prices ,then head here.

I visited crispins while I was staying in Chichester. The food is always delicious and fresh . The service is great. Owner is always there to give a warm welcome 😊😊. My son still goes there as it is his favourite place .

Very friendly staff and owner, welcomed us (2 adults and 2 children) with open arms - glad we popped in - fantastic food and decent coffee. Bent over backwards to accommodate our children's bizarre food choices. (bacon and chips?!?) Lovely all day breakfast - we ere genuinely delighted - now that doesn't happen often these days!

Love this cafe! My friend and I come here every Monday and we are always greeted with a big smile and made to feel comfortable and welcome. The service is excellent as is the food and drinks. There are 3 seating areas, all decorated with a natural plant theme. My favourite area is the conservatory which is light and is a happy place to while away the hours, chatting to friends over cuppas and a nibble.

Lovely friendly cafe. Bright & cheerfully decorated & spotlessly clean. Much bigger than it appears from outside. Really enjoyed our pot of tea & toasted tea cakes.

Decent food and atmosphere, can't find a fault.

Great cafe with a warm and friendly welcome. The lunch options were varied, and I opted for a toastie. The bread was of excellent quality, and the toastie itself was fantastic. Service was quick, attentive, and very friendly. Highly recommend!

We picked this place out instinctively, great vibe. Un-prepossessing store front, very welcoming. The staff were friendly, approachable, good humoured and clearly like their work. The food was v good and the portions generous. And they accept CASH!!!!

We had a very nice lunch when visiting Chichester. Lots of seating, a pleasant atmosphere and excellent service - the staff were very welcoming and friendly.

The food is always top quality. You can tell that the ingredients are local. The owner always greets you when you arrive and the staff are very polite and efficient. Would recommend Crispins to anyone as it is good value for money

Great way to start a day with a freshly cooked breakfast containing quality sausages, bacon, hash browns, eggs, beans, tomato, and mushroom. Left really satisfied. Among all of the eateries in Chichester, Crispins is by far our favourite, especially for breakfast.

We always have great experience at Crispin's. From start to finish we had enjoyed our experience. Quality food and drink with equally clean place. Highly recommend and will definitely come back.

Excellent food friendly and helpful possibly the best breakfast in chichester well done love it

We had really good experience at Crispin's from stat to finish. Staff were really friendly and accommodating with our food requests. They have got everything on the menu from all day breakfast to home cooked food with homemade desserts too. I highly recommend Crispin's and definitely would visit again.

Went here for breakfast, included in the breakfast was 2 hash browns. My husband doesn't like them, so I arranged an exchange. He could have extra beans instead of the hash browns. When our food arrived, my husband had 2 hash browns and no beans at all on his plate, also in the menu it stated that there should of been 2 eggs. We both only had 1 each. So what with the hash browns that my husband hates, the missing beans, and only one egg. My husband left hungry

Had breakfast here yesterday, was really not very impressed. I stated that my husband didn't like hash browns. It was agreed that he would have exta beans instead. When our breakfast arrived, my husband had hash browns on his plate ( which he doesn't like) but no beans at all. Also there should of been 2 eggs on both of our plates, but we both only had one. My husband left still hungry.

I just really loved everything we had. The eggs benedict were just fantastic and cooked perfectly ! The White mocha with coconut milk was perfect too!

Researched on Tripadvisor before visiting Chichester for the day & was very pleased that I chose this cafe for lunch. Extremely friendly and helpful staff, lots of lovely areas to eat & very nice food. Would definitely recommend

We were looking for an independent cafe and this one seemed to fit the bill. It wasn't very clear you needed to find a table first with the number before ordering, but once that was explained (as we were dithering) we headed towards the tables. One of the staff kindly suggested the courtyard and pulled the canopy out as it was a bit drizzly. We ordered at the counter and our drinks came quickly and our sandwiches shortly after. The staff were very helpful and friendly. For two of us for tea and sandwiches with upgrade to chips for one, our bill was £21 more or less which we thought was good value.

Poor service and slightly overpriced for what it is

burger was way overcooked, it was dry and definitely not value for money, I will never order from here for nearly £20 with delivery I would have expected a nice tender burger, not a overcooked dry bit of beef. you definitely need to check before you send out.

Fabulous breakfast outstanding service courteous staff excellent food

Staff very accommodating and friendly, nothing was too much for them. Food was excellent , I’d certainly return when visiting again.

Fabulous food fabulous service will definitely be back!

The food was not cooked properly and cold I requested scrambled egg instead of fried eggs and received fried eggs it's not worth the money. Will not be eating their food again

the food was cold and not cooked properly, I asked for scrambled egg instead of fried and received fried egg. it is not worth £14.95. will not order from them again

Lush food and come nice and hot

food is tasty and full of flavour, it did take a long time to start preparing from ordering to delivery around 50 minutes but was worth the wait.

Bought 2 99 ice creams, couldn’t believe the cost, £6.20 including 20p for chocolate sauce! The owner said to the cashier, don’t forget to charge for the chocolate sauce. 🤣

This was the second time we tried this venue as it looked good from the outside and we like to support independent companies. The first time we left after 20 minutes as no one was able to serve us after asking a number of staff members. Today was even worse as again the service was poor even though we stayed this time and paid the bill, we felt we had been robbed and would suggest you avoid. This place is poorly run and food is overpriced for what is provided. In reply on our first visit we went to the counter at the front where the coffees are made and tried to order but were told to go back to our table and we would be served there, so we tried but your staff would not allow us to order at the counter which appears a communication issue!

Popped in for a light lunch. Pleasantly surprised by the large interior. Service was friendly, food tasty and good value.

Amazing food, friendly staff and excellent service, will definitely be returning. Also their proper Mr Whippy ice cream machine is unmatched on a hot day!

Had late breakfast today, even at 3pm you can get a superb English breakfast, the so called small plate is very generous & the toasted brie cranberry sandwich was delicious. Expresso Coffee exceptionally good as reminded us of those we had in Italy,rarely got this outside Italy!

This place was great! The only downside was that there were so many things on the menu that I wanted to try (such as the pesto mayo chicken pasta with wedges). I ended up going for a classic - the full English (pictured) and it was the best I’ve had since moving to the UK. I also want to apologise for my blunt mother, with whom we were dining. She was a bit curt in requesting that our table be wiped down. For context, we had sat down without giving the staff a chance to clean up after the people before us and I moved all the cups away so the staff didn’t know the table wasn’t clean. Thanks again - great food, great vibes.

A really delicious lunch. The jacket potatoes are a generous size with a good amount of filling. Coffee very good. The staff are always really friendly and welcoming.

Had a lovely early lunch on Monday with my sister we both had eggs benidick, they were delicious, our server Emily was brilliant very friendly all in all a great lunch

My favourite cafe in Chichester!

Had lovely toasted sandwiches and hot chocolate. Had Chicken pesto and chesse, with salad and crisps. Hubby had bacon,cheese,cranberry with chips, looked so good had to swop one sandwich with hubby. Best toasted sandwiches ever had. Best cafe/restaurant in chichester.

Lovely friendly cafe. We went for breakfast and didn’t need to eat again until dinner! Loved the grilled halloumi and sour dough toast on the veggie breakfast. Thanks for making the dog comfortable too.

Had a great breakfast here while on a weekend break. Wonderful friendly staff and excellent food. Surprisingly large inside

Lovely cafe.....Great choice of snacks and mains. Hadn't been for a few years but nice to be back.....:)

Excellent for either a breakfast, full lunch or just coffee and cake. Very friendly staff make you feel welcome. The service is super and they are situated in a really good central location.

We have visited Crispin’s Cafe in Chichester on several occasions. We are always greeted when we enter by a happy smiling face , who also remembers that you have visited previously and thanks you for returning. The menu has Gluten Free , Vegan and Vegetarian options which is important for us. The food is always prepared and cooked to order and is extremely good quality and very tasty. The menu has a range of breakfasts , snacks , lunches , afternoon teas , sandwiches , jacket potatoes and salads and a variety of drinks hot and cold. The service is polite and helpful and the whole experience at Crispin’s Cafe couldn’t be better.

Lovely cafe with great choice of good value and tasty food. So nice to get a pot of tea with a pot of hot water too, this is rare these days….. I had a homemade tomato and Basil soup and later sticky toffee pudding both very yummy! Friendly atmosphere, definitely be going again :)

We had a lovely lunch I had the all day breakfast which was a well cooked and freshly cooked. Very friendly staff and great service. All in the party enjoyed their food highly recommended.

Really lovely atmosphere, friendly welcoming staff, informative. Food was delicious and great sized portions. Had vegetarian and gluten free options too. So much to choose from. Will definitely be going again.

First visit and will definitively return. Very friendly welcome. Prompt service, generous small breakfast. A minor mix up on the order which didn’t take from my enjoyment.

Arrived to meet a work colleague on a rainy (oh shocker), dull, Monday morning. Was greeted with a smile and presented with a smile inducing, good tasting, flat white coffee. Will be back!

This cafe is a hidden gem in Chichester offering wide choice of food at reasonable prices …something hard to find in the city now. The decor is bright and cheerful with different areas to sit. We love it here!

Excellent place for coffees, lunch, breakfast! Food is superb! Staff are fantastic!!!

If you want a lovely breakfast then this is the place to eat. My husband is very fussy and he was well impressed and said he would be back for a return visit!!! One last thing...most important.....the plate was heated!!! Well done

Best breakfast in Chichester. All local quality produce and coffee is first class. We have tried other establishments, but nothing comes close.

This cafe/resturant was a delightful find. Everyone very friendly and nothing too much trouble. Very relaxing and friendly place . Can’t wait to go back to Chichester and will seek out for coffee as soon as arrive . All food home cooked with a varied menus and specials too . Don’t miss the experience…

A fab cafe great service a good varied menu food always fresh & hot friendly staff super clean The best in Chichester # Hash browns

Went into Chichester for a bit of shopping Sunday morning and popped in here with my wife and two boys for breakfast for the first time. Me and my eldest had the big breakfast and wife and youngest had the smaller version. Was honestly one of the best I've had (and I've had a few 😉), looked and tasted great and the family were impressed too. Great friendly service as well. A real gem of a place and we will definitely return

Outstanding food and the service was excellent too! Only had a short wait from time if ordering to receiving food! Loved the coffee…..was a bit stronger than a lot of cafe offerings! From the outside of the cafe it was difficult to appreciate how large it was inside!

We waited nearly half an hour for a slice of quiche and chips. When I ordered I asked if I could have a baked potato instead of chips and as I paid on my credit card, I saw that I was charged £3 extra. When...

This is a lovely cafe. We are always warmly welcomed by the owner, and the staff are always friendly and helpful. The food is good quality and plentiful. We had the full English breakfast this time, which included good quality sausages and bacon.Previously we have enjoyed sandwiches and wraps, every time we have found the food delicious and good value. Coffee is of a high standard too. Highly recommended.

Excellent cafe! Warm welcome always from owner and staff. The food is very good and plentiful. We had the full English breakfast which included good quality sausages and bacon.Coffee is very good too. Eaten here many times and never disappointed. There is a relaxed and...

The cafe was highly recommended to me by family members and it certainly didn't disappoint. The staff were very friendly when ordering and serving/taking away plates. The menu has something for everyone and I decided to have one of the specials which was spaghetti carbonara...

A regular Sunday brunch haunt for us as their scrambled eggs are amazing!!!! Today blew our minds though, as your standard De-Caff coffee is usually a little dull in comparison to fully leaded, but today’s Cappuccino was the very best I have ever had! Great...

This place has become a must for me and my daughter when we shop in Chichester . We may only have a cake or a sandwich with drink , but all the food is served quickly , well presented and fresh . Love the effort...

Great food, friendly service and I would highly recommend a visit.

Had jacket potato each Coronation chicken which was well cooked and good size. Noticed different areas of the cafe have different noise levels which we liked. Will go there again for sure.

Been using Crispins now for well over a year, always warmly greeted by owner or a staff member. A good menu choice, freshly cooked meals and normally served quickly (at busy times expect a little wait). Do a great breakfast, all other meals are presented...

From the minute we stepped through the door …… fantastic service, charming man to welcome us, nothing was a problem, so friendly, immaculate, lovely ambience…… can’t believe had never been before but will definitely be back. Thankyou x

I had poached eggs on rye done to perfection, & the Mocha was good. Crispins has a lovely atmosphere.

Really enjoyed my sausage and chutney sandwich with chunky chips. Husband had the coronation chicken with crisps and salad. Both good choices but everything coming out of the kitchen looked good.

Exactly what I needed! Took a colleague here for lunch and it was perfect. Ham eggs and chips, and a Vegetarian breakfast. Very friendly staff, plenty of space (it's bigger than you think) and I'll be going there again 100%.

Had an amazing meal. Fresh cooked and plentiful. Cafe was clean and tidy. Service was v good. Look forward to going back

Fantastic breakfast with fresh produce and first class coffee. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Chichester and looking for great food and service. 10/10

The food is excellent the service is excellent such friendly staff and the ambience is lovely only positive statements

This is one of our favourite places for lunch/brunch, especially as they are dog-friendly. We have always found the service friendly and quick, and the food always very good.

I always went to Crispins where the staff were so helpful, and happy to serve me with a child’s sandwich as I can’t eat much. Under the new owners the service and attitude is poor. I can no long have a child’s sandwich, no explanation...

Average cafe fayre, never knew it had seating.

Good food friendly staff nice independent cafe 👍

Lovely cafe, great food lovely staff, a must visit when in Chichester

Very friendly staff,good food,and an experience to be had.

What a nice place with lovely people front of house and looking after the tables/people. The chap who welcomes you in is genuine and caring. The menu was expansive and even had friendly options for my vegan wife. The food portion size was very generous...

What a nice place with lovely people front of house and looking after the tables/people. The chap who welcomes you in is genuine and caring. The menu was expansive and even had friendly options for my vegan wife. The food portion size was very generous in all cases. Vegan all-day breakfast was the best I've had. It all worked. Brilliant!

Ready for breakfasts when others hadn’t bothered opening their doors. Had 5* breakfast friendly welcome speedy service spot on cooked breakfast. Couldn’t fault.

A little slow with the service, however if you want great food you have to wait for it. Very clean and well prepared , presented fair. You can always judge a breakfast from the quality of the sausage and bacon. Top class. Thank you.

The breakfast was superb my wife and I had the same two cheese on toast with two fried eggs . Delicious, service first class . And lovely coffee. Asked for a large tea big teapot and a jug of hot water. Owner and staff very...

Just had an excellent breakfast. Very good portion sizes. Great quality sausages and ingredients. Ideal for large groups .highly recommended. Jean and jay

I was here this morning whilst listening to a French language lesson... as the French would say "le petit-dejeuner anglais c'est tres bien ici" I really recommend the full english, really well made, kneatly presented and locally sourced produce used.. everything on the plate was cooked to perfection.. don't know about anything sold here but the full english is top score.

Such a welcoming café! So clean, fabulous service with amazing food. Beef stew & mash was just perfect 😋 Wouldn't hesitate to go back again

Very friendly, welcoming accommodating

Lovely hidden cafe, which is actually a good size and loads of seating, it's so hard to find somewhere that does a variety of food cafe style in this day and age! Nice atmosphere, very clean, very friendly staff, been here twice now first time had a chicken wrap which was lovely, second time had a breakfast which was average so I think it depends what you have, will definitely be back though.

We used to love coming to this cafe we’ve given it a try on a few occasions since new ownership. I felt very pressured when ordering as the new owner made me order extras and sides. I have a feeling this was because the cafes never busy anymore which is a shame. I never normally write reviews but something isn’t right as no staff seem to stay anymore. It’s such a shame to see my favourite waitress leave as she really made it for us. Luckily a few girls that used to work at the front are still there but they seem to be pushed to the side. However the food and drinks are still good, however we won’t be regulars anymore due to the changed atmosphere.

What a gem, beautiful inside, vast menu & a wonderful welcome. Popped in with friends for coffee & cake, the coffee milkshake was delicious as was the cake. Definitely no scrimping on portions. Will visit for lunch next time.

Really helpful and friendly staff, nothing was too much trouble as always. The full English was also great. Will return again.

Lovely wee spot for lunch. Food wad great and the service was top class!

Always a favourite café, with a varied menu, reasonable prices and friendly service. Attractive decor and a nice outdoor seating area too

For a warm welcome and first rate coffee - oat cappuccino in our case - look no further than this friendly, relaxed and good value independent café in the heart of Chichester.

Lovely place to eat. It looks great after a refit with new owners. My son who was visiting from Australia & I had delicious jacket potatoes. There were clean plates afterwards. Great friendly service. Would definitely be returning.

Lovely cafe! Lots of seating area and a garden space too which is enclosed so just the right temperature most of the time. Service was friendly and quick and the food was amazing! Delicious and hot. Wide variety of dishes from full English, pancakes and eggs benedict. Highly recommend!

Good not as good as it was with previous owners

I was greeted by very friendly staff and made very welcome also my dog. The food was delicious and served quickly with a relaxed personal touch. I will definitely go again and also recommend Crispin's to all of my friends Monica

My pregnant daughter and myself had brunch here and the staff could not have been more welcoming or helpful. Her "picky" needs were catered for and the seati g area and toilets were absolutely spotless. Very pretty decor too. Food was lovely and we shall now refer to Crispins" as "our place".
