Dukes Coffee Shop in Worthing

won’t be going back here 3/10 the coffee was cold the breakfast egg under cooked very cheap sausage Luke warm food 🥘:(no thank you the bloke who works in there watt a prick

Lovely local cafe, great food, worth a visit.

Lovely welcoming staff, good food at great value. We lunch there often and feel almost as if we're part of the family

Great place for a high quality breakfast, friendly helpful staff and quiet in the early hours.

Not very good. Had a fried chicken and coleslaw roll, after eating half of it still hadn’t found any chicken. Opened it up and had a few small bits that added up to the size of my thumb. All in a 5 inch bap

Just picked up sandwiches to take away but they were delicious and generous. Thank you.

I love a sneaky lunch here, nsit outside and people watch pick from an extensive but real homemade menu. The shortbread is to die for.

Very disappointed, had coronation chicken baguette couldn’t eat as was way to spicy not how coronation chicken should taste at all . Friend had breakfast baguette which he had to throw away as was completely plastered in ketchup . Very overpriced too . Have photos but no option to post

Best cheese scones in Sussex!Have been tried by friends and family all the way to the New Forest. They all agree.staff are friendly and work very hard to provide an amazing service.

Ok coffee. Shortbread was soft and not particularly nice.

Very friendly, comfortable cafe! Excellent cheese scones. Background music and a good accessible toilet. Lovely service too.. will definitely visit again.

Lovely coffee, and very friendly. Thank you.

Good food. Nice and friendly staff. Highly recommend

Independent Cafe in Tarring village. We visit about once a week - the food is good and the service always friendly. 2022 ... and still good! Burgers and chips followed by delicious Bakewell and Chocolate & Cherry fruity tarts today :)

Best hot chocolate around. Always clean and staff are very friendly.

Very nice experience, lovely fresh Panini for a beef and stilton melt, good coffee and mum enjoyed her latte and cake!

Excellent food, drink and service.

Great selection of food at different times. Just read the chalk board to see. Lovely food here, sit down tables sectioned off a bit from the take away counter, but very close together (ie less than 2 metres). No WiFi - a great shame they are not able to sort out their user name & password. [Why not write the network name on the chalkboard?] Grumpy bloke (manager?) assured me it was the correct password (and refused to check it) and he didn't have the time to check what network is theirs (lots of similar available with passwords). Despite trying 4 times the password was wrong. So, no WiFi.

Warm and friendly service from all staff. Will visit again.

I used to love this coffee shop but every time I go in there now the staff are bickering with each other, and just outright rude to their customers. Running their business into the ground with a negative attitude!

Great cafe , excellent food , best coffee in tarring

.always friendly coffee exceptionally good.

Lovely family owned and run coffee shop. The coffee was served piping hot (very rare elsewhere these days), cakes were to die for. Nice seating area outside with polite, friendly and efficient staff. What else could we have asked for on a lovely sunny morning on Tarring! My wife and myself will certainly be returning there, just a shame we hadn't visited before now.

If you want to wait 25 minutes to be told that they are just about to start making your takeaway sandwich then this is the place to go. Rude and unbalanced SOB is the son who presumably is a partner in this place. Staff run round like headless chickens even when the place is 2/3 empty. Go across the road to the Bakehouse.

Lovely family run coffee shop. Really friendly staff and the best jacket potatoes ever!

It's a shame the staff there are so rude and selfish. The location is lovely and the shop would have more potential if owners were friendlier. Thumbs down, I will definitely not be coming back.

Really lovely in Dukes, huge portion sizes, and a steaming hot latte which I was grateful for (other places they're lukewarm to cold). Friendly staff and all very reasonably priced.

I am absolutely appalled by the customer service that I received from the owner. I ordered a sandwich to eat in, when he took the order he was standoffish with me. The food turned up and I found a hair in my sandwich. I told him I didn’t want the food, he then told me to go and get F....! I have never encountered such a horrible service

Great coffe, good service and strict social distance protocols

Lots of choice. All sandwiched made to order very fresh ingredients and staff great

Absolutely appalled from the “service” my mum received! The man refused to serve her just because she works in the area. We wanted to support local businesses as we are all in this hardship together. However the man proceeded to verbally bully her and even squared up to her! Even threatened to call the police just because she wanted a portion of chips!! What has the world come to?! She came back rather upset as felt like it could have been something to do with her colour. Can’t believe we still have to put up with racism and outright discrimination nowadays! Absolutely disgusted, will never visit again while that awful man still works there

Really friendly owner, lovely coffee and toastie (always check a new place with a toastie, if they use tasty tomatoes and flavoursome cheese, you can proceed with the rest of the menu haha!) looking forward to going back to try all the veggie and vegan things available (many!)

Have been eating from here, since I was a child; everything has always been beautiful - eat in or takeaway, it's amazing!!!

A really excellent cup of coffee! Hot, good flavour and very reasonable price. 👍

Friendly staff and a lovely breakfast.

Friendly staff and owners.Food cooked to order and plenty on the menu for all tastes.

Outstanding foods with fresh bakeries and mouthwatering coffee's. Comfortable seating area inside and out. Excellent service from all staff. Would highly recommend.

Great bacon sarnie and nice cafe

Always helpful. Coffee nice flavour. Food is good freshly prepared and hot. Prices are affordable. I would cheerfully recommend.

The opening hours are quite random and the food is pricey but good service and yummy food.

Lovely place for breakfast, lunch or just a coffee. Very friendly

Welcoming good value coffee shop

Excellent selection of food and drinks. Very good quality meals on heated plates. As good as it get. Very friendly and helpful staff. Well worth a visit.

Always 5 star excellent food and very friendly staff

Excellent food and tea. Very friendly people. Almost level access with just a slight step at the door. Easy access loo with alarm but no handrails.

Very friendly, good food, good prices

Such a fantastic little coffee shop with a good selection of good quality food. Very friendly staff.

Always a pleasure to go there good food and service with a friendly atmosphere.

Always fantastic sandwiches. Sunflower rolls are the best!

Had the best Welsh rarebit I’ve ever had here! It’s such a friendly, family run, service with a smile place. Can’t fault it. Sandwiches and rolls are top notch and they can’t do enough for you. They are great with my children, providing them with fun crockery and cutlery sized appropriately! They don’t bat an eyelid if the children make a little more noise than supposed to or if the children have questions. Great cakes too! Cannot recommend this place highly enough. My go to lunch place.

As I said. Good food but a bit expensive, clean and tidy, good service, few seats outside good for dog owners.

Great place for coffee or lunch with friends. Fabulous family run cafe, always a warm welcome with the best coffee in town to brighten anyone's January! Thank you!!

Best flat white in Worthing! Coffee and food excellent quality, prices reasonable. Lovely warm atmosphere and attentive staff.

Situated in the centre of Tarring Village this is a lovely place to have a morning coffee. There are also decent breakfasts to be sampled and other tempting snacks. Well worth a visit.

My husband and I popped in with our son for lunch and were greeted like long lost friends as we crossed the threshold! We ordered our drinks and sausage, egg and chips for all three of us. The drinks appeared within one minute of leaving the counter and the meals arrived about five minutes after that. Hot, tasty and exactly what the doctor ordered on a chilly day! My husband remarked quietly (or so he thought!) that more than one sausage would have been nice and I pointed out that the menu (on the wall) clearly stated "Sausage, egg and chips", i.e. sausage in the singular! Unbelievably, a couple of minutes later, an extra sausage was brought to the table for each of us, and we were told they were 'on the house'!! A remarkably generous gesture which made my not so quiet husband feel a little embarrassed for all of two minutes! Please don't all rush in expecting free sausages - we have been in quite a few times and we now feel as if we are almost members of the family! Clearly this gem of a café/restaurant has a very loyal following and it's not hard to see why. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Ok but as caterers they open to suit themselves not their clientele. Shame because nice coffee shop with good food and bakery product's

We are in Worthing staying with friends who live there. The need for a cooked breakfast was overwhelming, so the four of us decided to go to Dukes Coffee shop, a place that Lynne and Peter had visited before. We were shown to our clean window table by the friendly couple behind the counter. Our tea and coffee were quickly delivered, and having taken our food order, the lady made enquiries regarding how we had all met (on the First of January 1969 !) When the breakfasts arrived the presentation on the plate was almost a work of art, and it all tasted delicious. When we had finished, we sent our compliments to the Chef, and Gordon came out to thank us. The premises were clean and nicely decorated, and the cost was reasonable. As my old boss used to say ' quality is remembered long after price is forgotten'. Well done Dukes.

Such a friendly staff who are willing to accommodate for all your needs. We place an order each week and are always more than satisfied with our sandwiches. The sunflower roll is a favourite for us.

Food was good but over priced had to pay for tea and toast extra on top of breakfast. Won't see me again

Love this place. Lots of choice for lunches, VERY reasonably priced. Good service, very friendly owners. Great coffee. It's also a bakery with a choice of fresh bread, rolls and cakes

Agradable para un café y desayuno trankilo

This really is a treasure tucked away in Tarring village, on the outskirts of Worthing. This is the second time I've been here with my husband, who really fancied (of all things) a bacon sandwich...how exotic! But I have to say, it was well worth going as I somehow managed to force down an egg and bacon sandwich myself! We shared a bowl of chips and it was all freshly cooked and delicious. Despite being called a coffee shop, it is so much more...the menu is extensive and, basically, whatever you want they'll do their best to provide it. They also cater for 'take away' customers (which, judging from the queue, is also a popular service). There is even a 'customers only' loo at ground floor level which is quite a feat, considering the size of the place! (I think I counted seating for 20). The whole place is spotlessly clean...you can even see into the kitchen area, which looks equally spotless. Service is fast and friendly and prices are very reasonable...I cannot fault Dukes Coffee Shop!

Not dog friendly, missing a large revenue opportunity.

Do not recommend. Surprisingly expensive for Worthing. Large cappuccino was £2.95, as was a slice of the only cake on offer. (Other baked goods and savouries were available). Pleasant enough, but nothing special as a cafe. 12/04/16 Went to go back today but they wouldn't allow me to bring my folding bicycle in (folded) and just generally gave an attitude of everything being too much trouble. Discovered a new teashop across the road, The Old Bakehouse which was very friendly. Review to follow!

Wow 5 star service from the lovely people at Dukes your Eccles cakes are amazing from the folks Down Under in N Z a great place to eat with personal service a very pleasant experience indeed

We love this cafe, the proprietors are lovely and welcoming.Although there is a substantial menu I usually have the breakfast burger as it's my favourite and my wife enjoys a jacket potato or the macaroni cheese! A nice selection of cakes are available and the coffee is really nice. In case you wondered, I highly recommend this cafe in Tarring village.

We saw this pretty little place & decided to stop for lunch.

Very gd coffee and food it's just a shame it doesn't open at the weekend.

Been meaning to try this place for a very long time. Very busy staff. They also deliver food, by van, to offices etc. Whilst sitting and having coffee with a delicious moist cake a number of workmen went in to get their lunch and drink to take away. I would happily recommend Dukes.

Huge range of cafe grub from full english breakfast to jacket potato to sandwiches made to order. Brilliant coffee. Staff always friendly and helpful.

If you are visiting Tarring, you may come across Dukes Coffee shop which is situated in the historic part of town. A good choice of snacks and meals are served, and takeaways are available too. Yes, this place is OK, but is not as cheap as it might be. However, I like the delicious cakes, pastries etc and will continue to eat there.

We have driven past this little restaurant several times saying we would give it a try 'some time' and today was the day! It is situated in Tarring village on the bend of the road so is easy to spot. It's surprisingly busy for a 'village' but it's really on the outskirts of Worthing so don't expect it to be a traditional, quiet village out in the countryside - it's not! Considering the volume of traffic passing by, though, it's surprisingly quiet inside...perhaps not quite so peaceful at the two tables positioned close to the road itself! I think this place probably started out as a simple coffee shop but it has certainly developed into a delightful restaurant offering a wide choice of cooked meals and hot snacks and a good selection of hot and cold drinks. There is also a children's menu available. We received a lovely welcome on entering and service at the counter was fast and friendly. Our paninis were absolutely delicious (freshly made to order, not pre-packed) and the chips (served separately in a bowl) were really hot and tasty...I suspect they may have been frozen, not fresh, but they were lovely! The pot of tea was HOT (hallelujah!!) and the coffee was good too. The whole area was clean as was the single loo for customers' use. All in all an excellent visit which we'll repeat soon, I'm sure! Only one minor criticism - there did not appear to be much choice if you're popping in for coffee and cake - if that's what you're particularly looking for rather than a meal or savoury snack, there's a great little café over the road where you can try out a cream tea or reasonable selection of home made cakes! Well done, Tarring - all options are covered!
