Design Vintage in Chichester

This is a wonderful place to meet up with friends and enjoy a coffee, or to visit for lunch. The staff are welcoming and the food is delicious. The cakes are difficult to resist, too!

Outstanding location, a great lunch of cajun chicken followed by lovely homemade cake. Cushions available for the metal seats and in the winter it is worth seeking out one of the warmer areas to sit, but a great spot just West of Chichester.

Did not go to have food or drink--only to view shop goods On FACE BOOK they advertise 1mile from Chichester but according to my milometer in my car it is in excess of 3.5 miles and with poor directions. Arriving at the ex farm building the Design Vintage signage was in BLAND Signwriting NOT at all clear and no direction on road to the site. Obviously ex farm building now given over to a variety of small businesses. One needs deep pockets to ship here e.g Three turned pieces of wood with glasses in them £56!!! Tumblers of basic glass quality £15 Lovely country setting well off the beaten track!!

Really pretty tea room and shop and an excellent service. Cakes looked amazing but we didnt have any. Savoury was lovely though, simple but tasty. Only comment is that i found it really odd that a sardine board turned out to be a tin of sardines served up with a slice of bread- o had expected a hot fish - very peculiar being served a tin!

Had the best tea and cake here on several occasions plus several lunches but I so wish they would invest in some decent chairs. Perched on a stool again today. The other choice was a narrow driftwood bench. Trendy I’m sure but so uncomfortable. Please buy something to replace them.

Popped in here for lunch and had 2 delicious sandwiches. Excellent value for money, really comfortable welcoming space, very friendly and warm staff and the chocolate brownie is to die for. We'll be back now we've discovered this cafe and it's just around the corner from us.

This has now become our regular coffee stop on our Sunday bike ride. Very friendly staff, very decent coffee and cake and a great place to stop.

When we arrived with my friend, we sat in the back room and it was freezing. The staff told us that two of the radiators didnt work ! The food was vey good but we were so disappointed by the staff who seemed very unfriendly and not very helpful or smiley. For that reason, we will not go back or recommend it.

The staff who served myself and my fellow cyclists was polite and pleasant. When I entered the shop the choices of cake looked amazing and as every cyclist knows we like riding and like having cake. When I asked if there were any gluten free cakes I was told that several were low in gluten. As a coeliac I cannot have gluten and was really upset to find that I couldn't have any cake. What's the point of having items with low gluten? Would you say to a vegetarian it has only a little bit of animal fat? I did have a gluten free bacon sandwich which was nice, but it wasn't cake. As for the coffee that was served in a mug with no handle? I will not be returning.

Such a lovely shop and beautiful surroundings but the staff are just so unwelcoming. No smiles. This is my third visit and i noticed it from day one. It has such potential if only the staff acted as if they wanted to be there!

Decent lunch selection with plenty of healthy options and lots of gorgeous unhealthy cakes! Very good coffee and friendly service. The Quinoa bowl was excellent. A pleasant courtyard to sit outside in if it’s a sunny day.

I had seen the interiors shop on Instagram and when I saw they had a cafe as well with a lovely menu I was more intrigued to visit. The shop did not disappoint with lots of lovely interior items, pricey but worth it if looking for that special item. The cafe surroundings was lovely, staff super friendly but we were let down by some of the food. I ordered a toasted ciabatta with melted mozzarella, fiery pesto, baby tomatoes and spinach for £7.50, the ciabatta was tiny, in the description above the mozzarella was described as fresh buffalo mozzarello but it was the plastic yellow grated mozzarella you buy in supermarkets and was not melted! The fiery pesto was barely a scrap on the bread, I don't mind paying £7.50 for a sandwich but would expect more Artsian than what was served. Saying that my partner had the pancakes and they were good and we shared a rocky road which was very tasty. Such a lovely place just hoping they have only got it wrong with this one choice!

In a Cycling Group and we often stop here. Safe area to leave bikes. Great menu Great Service always helpful. Took the wife to visit with a friend they where very impressed Sure we will keep it on our list of favourite stops

Very nice setting in a beautiful rural conversion and very well organised in these Covid times. Great place to meet, whatever the weather. The shop was a little disappointing but good tea and great coffee. Victoria sponge was average at best - if you can’t get fresh cream filling in the countryside ?? Choice of snack food was uninspiring. But clean and friendly.

Been a regular here and always been good. Today, as two hungry cyclists we checked the website and it said they closed at 5pm. We raced there and turned up at 430 and they wouldn’t serve us because they said they closed at 430 ... they wouldn’t even sell us a slice of cake or a cuppa.

Such a lovely place to have coffee/snack/brunch. Some great design interior items on sale too. Most of the accoutrements in the restaurant are on sale also.

The goldfish were being fed in the large courtyard pond as we sat in the sun enjoying a delicious quinoa salad bowl togther with great pancakes, natural yoghurt, red fruits and granola together with a green (healthy) smoothie. The staff are delightful and we really enjoyed our stop for a quick lunch here. Plenty of household goods are also on show here

This is definitely a hidden gem of a cafe situated in a gorgeous barn with lots of seating inside and out. Wonderful coffee, great home made cakes and my favourite, breakfast granola. Reasonable prices and a lovely calm setting.

This place is a hidden gem, beautiful coffee, great surroundings. We visited on a Tuesday afternoon, great service from the lady and so good to look at all the fabulous things!

Popped in here today for a coffee and ended up eating a rather tasty stack of pancakes! Lovely space full of lovely things! Staff were helpful and friendly, in and outdoor seating available.

Be warned - despite the website advertising that the shop/cafe is open until 5pm, if you arrive after 4:30pm you won't be served, as bluntly informed by the rude woman serving behind the counter!! Apparently the last half an hour is for cleaning up!!The opening times should be adjusted to reflect this. Also, cleaning up and closing down around seated guests is pretty unprofessional.

Food was delicious and tasted very fresh. A good choice on the menu. Nice setting- cute interior. Would definitely recommend!

Lentil or pean and ham seem to be the winter offerings at the moment and I can recommend both! They come with two slices of delicious toasted bread and real butter (in a ramekin not a plastic disposable pot!). The counter is laden with all kinds of wicked looking cakes and cookies!The seating area is comfortable and clean although perhaps a little bit dark.The coffee is OK and served in nice big mugs.

I called into this lovely place to view the lovely items that were on sale. Also has a lovely rustic, rural coffee and light food area.The location is in a converted farm building in the Kingley centre, West Stoke Farm, West Stoke...at the foot of the South downs, just north of the cathedral city of Chichester.The service and food are excellent which is served with a friendly smile.

My friend and I went for a lunch snack here. Lovely courtyard, menu was limited. We ordered a Cajan chicken ciabatta. It sounded great. We asked the friendly staff member if it would be very spicy. Average was the reply and it’s cooked with chillis. We decided to go for it anyway. Tasted no chilli, bread over baked, and it was dry. The chicken pieces were unchewable. I chomped on a bit and decided to take the rest from my mouth and return the plate. I analysed the chicken, it was threads of dense, dry matter, no succulence at all. Overcooked and reheated. My friend ate hers, just about. She didn’t want it to spoil our lunch date. She did tell the staff. The staff said they had never had anyone complain about this meal before. By saying this, the staff member alluded that it was me, and not the meal, that was at fault. Not good service. I said it’s probably because people generally don’t like to complain and that includes me. Did I want anything else? No way. A bit of staff training here wouldn’t go amiss. I won’t be back. Trendy, perhaps, but it doesn’t get my vote nor that of my friend. Cakes looked nice, and sitting outside was very nice. Good tea and coffee.

This is both an interesting structure and building as well as well run coffee stop and home furnishing store. Cafe is super friendly with attentive service and attitude. Could have spent considerably longer but had time pressures as cyclists ofter do.

We are here two or three times a week and is a delightful stopover on our way to other parts of West Sussex. Always welcoming the food, drinks and service is excellent.

Called into Design Vintage at West Stoke for a snack on the way to the Cass Sculpture Park.We both had the Mexican Lemon Quinoa with a couple of Coffee's. The Quinoa was great with a good mix of flavours.It also has a wide choice of Paninis, Ciabatta, Soups, Homemade Cakes & Biscuits, fresh ground Red Roaster Coffee, Tea etc with seating inside and out in the old barn courtyard.We will go back again and try something else next time.
