Ginger & Dobbs in Adur

Straight off the bat, for me this place is a gem. Very few places like this in Sussex thus far. My review is based on the welcome, the atmosphere, friendliness and my visit overall. I mainly wanted to point out that I never knew scrambled egg on toast could be this nice !! Didn’t know what to expect so I asked the missus if we should come back tomorrow (Tuesday) 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Excellent coffee. Like, really excellent. Like go out of your way to get it excellent. Lovely and generous brunch and a warm farm shop type vibe with AMAZING fresh pesto, fruit and veggies. Highly recommended and book ahead if dining in.

Thank you for my morning coffee wonderful Keith! Where would we be without you. Legendary service!

Really nice Coffee, shame about the shambolic service! Waited 20 minutes for coffee, having been at the counter before any of those who were served prior. Rude Male server!

Just had lunch at this lovely place. Had yummy scrambled egg on a massive piece of well buttered sourdough. Will definitely be back to try other dishes. Update in our second visit. On our first visit it was when there was a market in so was very busy so we accepted the long wait. But we visited last Fri when there were a few people in but still had to wait 40 mins for scrambled egg. The food was great when it came but our tea was then finished and the wait was too long as car park time was ramping up. We were not the only ones that were exasperated with the timing. So unfortunately we won’t be back.

The coffee and croissant were exceptionally delightful. I must say, it was one of the best coffees I've ever had. The atmosphere and breakfast were also truly enjoyable.

Called here with friends and dog on the 2nd Monday in August. Had flat whites, americanos a tea and raspberry bakewell slice .All very good quality ad ,tasty and with friendly service

Such a delicious brunch. Started with a long overdue coffee and moved on to food...... A simple choice, basically advocado and tomato on toast. However, the bread was chewy brown, the avo was extremely creamy and the tomatoes were powerful. They had been roasted I think, with all sorts of loveliness sprinkled over the top.( at a guess zatar perhaps? ) A further coffee to end with. I like that this place is tolerant of everyone and everything, and the food is good value and yummy!

A really friendly place which offers a great range of snacks and produce.Local fruit and vegetables are available to buy. Food service is slow but that is because it is prepared freshly for you.

Cozy place with welcoming people and good food. Always love the scrambled eggs. I also find the cheese selection lovely and the veggies and fruits tasty. Recommend a 100%.

Regular coffee and breakfast/cake stop over with our little dog in situ. I love the herby scrambled egg on sour dough toast. Lovely cosy place with homemade goodsies.

Lovely shop, serving good local coffee and produce. "Farm Shop Style" selection of local fruit, vegetables and other produce - including wines. Worth a visit!

It is always a treat to go to G&D. The home made soups with crusty bread are lovely and very tasty. The little cakes are delicious. The staff always have a smile for everyone. The atmosphere is pleasant and not as manic as in many other places. It is also nice to have a look at the delicatessen on offer while being there.

I am a regular visitor to this charming place. The food is terrific. A small carefully curated offering with daily specials and including the BEST SCRAMBLED EGGS anywhere. Decided to tear myself away from the eggs today and had a delicious cauliflower leek and bacon soup with warm bread. As ever the staff were friendly and accommodating. For something a bit unique and exceptionally good quality give G and Ds a try!

A feast for the eye and the soul. A quality old style greengrocer and deli with a sit in/out cafe.

Virkelig hyggelig Deli, med lækre småretter. Vi fik en skøn morgenmad, med frisk lavet kaffe. Vi kan anbefale deres omeletter, som er deres signatur ret. Blev serveret på frisk ristet surdejs brød.

Not expensive but very basic Italian food. Wine by the glass was pretty good, and reasonably priced, especially when they forget to charge you for the second glass! There was nothing to complain about and, in the current situation, their hygiene was fairly good. However, would I go there again? Probably not.

Coffee as pretty good, quite a mild blend but it was well made, hot chocolate was delicious. The service was not as good as others talk about so maybe we caught them on a bad day? The stress behind the counter between the team was felt on the other side. This made for a far from relaxing experience which is a shame when they have clearly gone to a lot of trouble to get many other things right.

Sunday lunch in Brighton with the family - decent food, really friendly service and sitting in glass bubbles outside made the experience fun, and encouraged us to talk to the other table in there. Recommended

Just had a lovely lunch here - delicious, good sized portions, cute little place

Loads of lovely eggs (on toast) Excellent expresso Recommend

Such a nice coffee shop. You can find fresh fruits and vegetables, variety of food , nice snacks... I enjoyed carrot cake 🍰 served with coulis and blueberries 🫐 Thank you so much for the team work 🙏

Nice coffee, very delicious fresh juice, nice atmosphere. But we got coffee in dirty cup from someones lipstick.

My partner and I visited today for lunch and we’re so impressed! The café has a lovely, relaxed and peaceful atmosphere, the staff were really friendly, the food and drinks were absolutely lovely. This is the perfect place to spend time on a Sunday afternoon in Shoreham, we are already planning to come back next week.

A lovely place for a snack and hot drink. The staff are always delightful, and welcoming.

It's delightfully quirky inside and it's one of our favourite places to grab a bite to eat if we are in the area. The BLTM was magnificent.

Sandwiches to go for the beach! Top quality bread and superb ingredients - try the Pastrami! Yummy!

Thought this place looked the best in the area so ordered a coffee and a toasted sandwich. The coffee was made straight away and I thought the sandwich would follow fairly soon. I let them know I would wait outside as I need to be careful of Covid. Waited for 15 mins and still no sandwich so went inside to check, wasn't ready yet and I think they'd forgotten about my sandwich order. Another 15 mins after that I went back again to check (so I had now been waiting 30 mins outside and had finished my coffee) when I asked about my sandwich she said it was in the toaster and then I heard the girl in the back where the toaster was say "Its not Subway" which I thought was Really rude as I had been polite when I enquired about my sandwich and had been waiting 30 mins by now, she didn't know that I had heard her, so I mentioned I had heard her comment. The mature lady in the shop was very apologetic and kind, but the 2 younger ladies seemed like they couldn't cope and were lashing out by being rude, the funny thing is it wasn't even busy and there were 3 staff members. Such a shame as I would have come here every time I come to Shoreham as I care about good quality food, but the staff upset me (except for the lovely lady I mentioned, who should be in charge). I would like to tell you about the food, but because I'd had a bad experience it left a bad taste in my mouth, it was probably good judging by the shops appearance, but I couldn't taste the goodness this time.

Best herby scrambled eggs ever :-)

We went here on two occasions; once for lunch and once for coffee and cake. All the staff are friendly and helpful. Food is fresh and tasty. Coffee is v good. Nice beer too!

Always fresh vegetables, very friendly and helpful staff.

The best Challah bread to order ever! We know where to come now. And good to support local business to boot.

The fresh fruit and veg outside was very inviting. Unfortunately there were no seats available in the tiny interior, so we couldn't stay and try the food. It would be helpful to have a menu on show, and some prices. If their salads are as fresh as their produce, they should be delicious.

Owner is so great and helpful with the children.

Great local shop, lovely products and a great cup of coffee

Lovely shop and i had great light lunch with a proper good coffee.

Stumbled upon this charming establishment on a Sunday lunchtime whist taking a walk around Shoreham. It was their outside display of fruit and veg that caught my eye, and I am so glad it did. Not only does it sell a wonderful array of fresh and local produce, but it also does a great coffee and cake selection - so at this shop, you really can have your cake and eat it.

Such a lovely cafe with great food and even greater variety of fresh vegetables and food products! All staff are always so friendly and attentive! It really one of the best in shoreham!! Definetely worth a visit!

Very good ☺️ lovely coffee ☕ and a good selection of fresh and packaged food. Friendly staff 👍

Great staff. Lovely coffee and tea. Best pittas and bread ever. And the pickled onions are the best you can buy.

Great shop. Went to get cheese and wine and so much nice veg went back the next day to stock up. Great quality.

Although the cafe is currently closed due to Covid, Gingers has managed to keep us all fed with their range of fresh groceries, cheeses, quiches, bread and cakes. I rarely shop anywhere else. This is Shoreham at its best, and is a real asset to our little town.

Regular coffee and breakfast/cake stop over with our little dog in situ. I love the herby scrambled egg on sour dough toast. Lovely cosy place with homemade goodsies.

Love this place and looking forward to trying one of their evening meals. Breakfast always perfect, coffee is delicious and the eggs scrambled and bread are perfect! Always nice to get some local produce on the way out too.

I popped in with my family, having won a voucher for tea and cake, in a raffle. This is a lovely, cosy cafe, that we were lucky to find a space in, as it was quite busy. The cakes were nice and it looked like there was a good selection of other foods available to order. I'd be happy to call in again.

We stopped in Shoreham for a coffee stop and a walk, hoping to find somewhere open just after Christmas. So glad we came across this cafe at the top of the pedestrianised shopping street, only noticed it as there were tables outside! A lovely rustic cafe, with friendly and welcoming staff, whether you're a regular or not. Coffee was delicious as was the homemade biscotti and my hubby's hot chocolate was very much enjoyed. If we find ourselves in the are again will definitely return.

Tasty freshly cooked snacks. Fine coffee. Limited but good wine, beer and soft drinks choices. Tasty cakes. Don't forget to buy your your veg on the way out.

fantastic welsh rarebit and ginger and cinnamon muffin, excellent service and very personable staff. look forward to returning, it isn't noticeable as an eating place.

Lovely scrambled eggs and friendly owner! Although not very much room to manoeuvre, it didn’t stop us having an amazing time. Will definitely return!

Popped in for late breakfast, and so happy we did. What a little gem this place is. We ordered the scrambled egg on toast. Wow! Absolutely delish and the portion size was ample. A very homey coffee shop like atmosphere with the service exceptionally friendly. They cater to V, VG and GF. Everything is made fresh and the produce is fresh from local farms. Just goes to show you what can be made from a tiny kitchen with just a couple of staff. The cakes are baked by local bakers. The cappuccino was lovely and the ambience makes you feel immediately comfortable, wanting to stay for a while and watch the world outside rush by. In fact, in the evening they become a wine bar with a limited evening menu, We really like that! This is Definitely on our go-to list! (Reservations for Thursday, Friday, Saturday evenings)

This is the second time i have been for Spanish tapas night . And again not disappointed . There is a good selection off dishes and wine . The food was amazing ,service great , ladies friendly and so helpful. Thankyou we will be back again .

Good coffee, good food and terrific staff. Now open of an evening!! What more could you ask for?? No wonder this place is always busy.

Popped in for coffee and a snack we chose the cheese scone which was delicious served with cream cheese and red onion chutney. Then go tempted to have a slice of a yummy moist orange cake served with cream. We will definitely be coming back again for more.

Really lovely brunch - dog friendly - entertaining staff - unique venue that also has a great evening menu. And evening pop ups. !

Pleasant rustic ambience and organic shop next door. They will thankfully do HALF PORTIONS of sourdough toast with scrambled eggs. Only comment is that it is the wrong bread for toasting, consequently the edge is crispy but the rest is SOGGY! Would have something else next time! Coffee looked good. My friend uses the place on a regular basis and sings it’s praises.

We popped in for coffee and a delicious almond croissant that was so big we shared it! Sat outside in the sunshine and had a really pleasant visit, staff were so pleasant. We will be returning when we are in Shoreham, the best we have been to there.

Lovely gem of a café/restaurant. Do not walk on by. Rustic and cosy surroundings and delicious food made with care. Friendly staff.

Popped in for a coffee and light lunch,staff friendly. It’s a bit of a squeeze to find somewhere to site, we ordered food and were advised of a 30 minute wait which was fine. The food arrived and was very tasty, I had Welsh rarebit which was tasty. Large selection of cakes available although I didn’t try them. Good location, worth a try.

More of a cafe than a restaurant as attached to a green grape roll but we went in the evening rather than grabbing a take away, and so glad we did. We ordered a sharing platter (meat and cheese) other options available. We also had asparagus wrapped in Parma ham. The food was excellent quality very fresh with excellent choices and good variety of cheese and meats

A relaxing lunch with friends. We all chose different meals from the menu board (including one from the breakfast list). All were very good sized portions, tasty, fresh and well presented. It was busy and all the tables were full, but the service was good and we didn't wait long. We also enjoyed the view of the ancient St Mary's church opposite as we ate. Would definitely recommend.

A really friendly place which offers a great range of snacks and produce.Local fruit and vegetables are available to buy. Food service is slow but that is because it is prepared freshly for you.

This is half cafe, half grocer, on a quiet back street. We sat outside due to it being stifling hot inside with no fans. The menu was only written on a blackboard inside (I did ask for a printed copy). Due to injury, I asked hubby to photograph the board so I didn't have to manoeuvre inside with a leg brace. Unfortunately, the large board was directly behind other patrons. Not only did they obscure the bottom of the board, but to photograph the menu was impossible without also taking their photos! I understand the paper & waste issue with printed menus, but surely having at least one for disabled patrons could be accommodated.

Having never ventured to Shoreham for a casual amble it was a friends suggestion that we take a stroll . We then came across this little gem . Having found seating outside we were looked after by very friendly helpful staff , in particular Brigitte but all took time out to chat and demonstrated a genuine caring approach to customer service we Both Ordered the sausage sandwich which were yummy with coffee. All the offerings look very tempting though with a variety of cakes and savoury’s with breakfast and brunch menus on offer, certainly we will be back .

On our way to the Ropetackle Theatre yesterday, evening we stumbled upon this place. The welcome was so warm and the atmosphere so convivial we decided to have a meal. The food was delicious, Freshly cooked and generous portions. But what impressed us most was the service. Bridgette made us feel so welcomed! And she had the same friendly and warm welcome to every customer, including a young boy to whom she did not hesitate to go down to his level and explain the different dishes on offer. I think she is Ginger and Dobbs's greatest asset!

We cycled from Brighton to Shoreham and stopped for lunch. Lunch (Mezze plate) was delicious and beautifully presented. We continued to Worthing and on our way back, we stopped for coffee and cake. Orange and almond cake is recommended.

Nice cafe with a grocery section on one side a small indoor cafe and some outdoor seating too. It was quite warm inside so we sat outside tables and chairs just cafe style but overlooks the beautiful church and it’s grounds. They specialise in teas and there were some lovely ones it was very slow getting our teas though even though we did go to the counter to order. The cakes were divine the Bakewell tart and the carrot and pistachio muffin and orange and polenta too. Really lovely cakes and nice options for tea too.

I've been enjoying coffees and breakfasts at Gingers for years but now they have finally decided to open in the evenings for dinner. I think we were one of the first people to realise they had started this service s we took the kids in for a bite and were not disappointed.

Ginger and Dobbs is in the centre of Shoreham, if offers a great cup of coffee, great bakewell tart and a pleasant environmnent

Such a delicious brunch. Started with a long overdue coffee and moved on to food...... A simple choice, basically advocado and tomato on toast. However, the bread was chewy brown, the avo was extremely creamy and the tomatoes were powerful. They had been roasted I think, with all sorts of loveliness sprinkled over the top.( at a guess zatar perhaps? ) A further coffee to end with. I like that this place is tolerant of everyone and everything, and the food is good value and yummy!

Lovely staff, friendly and helpful. My mum uses a walker as she is elderly and one of the staff made room for this (as it's quite a small place). They also made sure my mum had a comfortable chair.

I had taken a friend for brunch on Wednesday 13/03/19 where we received amazing service by two young women and great food.

Stopped in whilst in the area and found this place for a quick bite. Amazing scrambled eggs and Welsh Rarebit. Really good coffee and atmosphere.

After many visits to Shoreham found this little gem today. Lots of choice incluiding a great vegetarian and vegan selection. Food was very well presented. Not a lot of space to eat, but well worth a visit. Definitely popping back. We shared vegetarian and vegan sausage rolls, both delightful also shared a raspberry and almond cake and lemon scicillian cake. Both delicious.

This cafe is my favourite of all in Shoreham, great food, friendly staff, relaxing ambience.

Lovely breakfast tea and delicious Welsh rarebit. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere and pleasant staff. Highly recommend 👍🏻

Great central location opposite St. Mary's Church. Lovely place for a coffee and snack. Nice friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. They also sell wonderful fresh fruit and veg.

OMG definitely worth a visit. Amazing atmosphere, friendly staff and the best scrambled eggs I've ever eaten. I had the tricalore scrambled eggs,my husband had the eggs with chorizo & my daughter had them with smoked salmon. Each one was as delicious as the other. Will definitely be revisiting. They also have a lovely grocery too

Part 1.Friendly staff serve either quality, seasonal, often local veg and assorted local delicacies. Part 2 The same staff serve delicious light snacks with quality coffee, cakes etc. Few tables outside are a great spot, weather permiting.

This cafe looks cosy from the outside. However if you need to use the toilet facilities you will have to squeeze through a tiny kitchen where staff are preparing food, then through a door in the middle of the kitchen to a tiny ante room and toilet. Exiting the toilet I read a notice by the wash basin saying no number twos in the toilet please.

Dropped in for coffee. Very tempted by the delicious cakes and savouries. Very comfortable for a light lunch or tea break. I hear the brunch is popular top.

I was recommended this place by my son. He said that the scrambled eggs were as good as mine.. So I had to try for myself and I had it with chorizo and peppers on sourdough toast and I must say they were almost as good as mine lol.. Staff very friendly and helpful. A bonus being they are dog friendly as well.. Will definitely be going back very soon.

5 of us had lunch at the Ginger pig on Sunday. We had mixed starters to share, gorgeous green Sicilian olives, baguette, roasted miso & seaweed butter was delicious! Hazelnut tarator, mushroom oil, lemon, focaccia - was a little bland for my liking but the focaccia was superb. For mains I had roast lamb, which was tender, gorgeous, with plenty roast potatoes and veg. Our daughters both had roast beef with the hugest yorkshire puddings, and we asked for extra gravy. My husband and our friend had the roast Hake, braised Coco Beans, mussel kiev, garlic aioli, roast baby carrots & chervil, which they both said tasted amazing, but sadly the hake pieces were tiny, the only reason I did not give a 5 rating.

What a find! Popped in for tea and cake and wanted to stay and eat some of the meals that were being served, they looked delicious! Very friendly staff and the cakes we had were seriously good. Coffee great as was the green tea. Worth looking at the green grocery they have, some really good fruit and vegetables for sale. Definitely on the list to come back to!

Very friendly, fresh produce with the smallest kitchen I have ever seen - had to go through it on the way to the loo. How they manage to produce meals from there is amazing. Service was a little slow, I had the goat's cheese salad which was good and my partner the Welsh rarebit with ham which was ok. Worth visiting for an inexpensive meal at an individual restaurant.

I love this little cafe, took my daughter who’s a vegetarian, usually on a menu there’s one veg choice, here she was spoilt and eventually decided on a goats cheese salad, once finished she asked ‘when can we come here again!’ Definitely soon!!

Went for a coffee and cake with my friend, I had lemon drizzle and she had a coffee and walnut. Both agreed the service was friendly, cosy and welcoming. However, the cake was a little dry. But would definitely go again:)

We had their famous scrambled eggs today! They were absolutely delicious, scrumptious, amazing! I had tricoloure and hubby had herby. They were so tasty and so filling. We had them for lunch - they will serve you anything at anytime. Served on the most delicious sourdough bread. Honestly - you have to try it. As always, service was impeccable.

Un sitio estupendo, con comida excelente y un servicio muy bueno.

Quaint Little cafe at the end and away from bigger restaurants in a gorgeous pedestrianised street. This little gem brews their own tea that puts the classic English breakfast 2nd place. They make the yummiest scrambled eggs and are highly accommodating. Lovely customer service, lovey people who completely turned our morning around :))

Two reasons to visit: Shopping- a selection of fresh and unusual veg and unbeatable sourdough bread. Whilst there, grab a breakfast or coffee and cake. Sit outside if weather good. A minature version of Bill's.

Since the “beach house” closed I thought there might be a gap in the market. Not at all. Ginger & Dobbs offer great salads and plates of healthy food for lunch or brunch and service with a smile.

Lovely rustic atmosphere with a small food choice on the blackboard. Ham salads were fresh and plentiful, cakes absolutely delicious, coffee okay but a little bitter, service friendly if a little slow. Comfortable seating both inside and outside and a produce selection next door.

You have to try the Tricolour Scrambled Eggs. Life changing. Always a lovely atmosphere. Great staff and attached to a great little veg shop. A gem of Shoreham

We were visiting friends so we called in here which I think is our second time We had a combination of tea, americano & flat whites and to eat a bakewell tart. Lovely place and friendly staff. Flat whites really good and the bakewell tart 5 star! Wish I had bought another as so good!

We were looking for a quick bite to eat gluten free and I happened to notice somene tucking into a very delicious looking salad so in we went. We ordered a salad each, one goats cheese and the other ham & pickle, both made to order and really tasty. Very fresh ingredients and beautifully presented. Staff were really helpful. They have a good menu and serve a wide range of gluten free options. A great find for us in Shoreham, we'll be back.

We had a really delicious lunch, friendly and efficient service. Catered for special requests. Something different and very tasty. The shop is a bit more expensive but you pay for very good quality.

My husband and I have just moved to Shoreham and went to Ginger and Dobbs with my family when they came to visit. We were all really pleased with our food, which we made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The tricolour salad, quinoa salad and goats cheese salad are all delicious. Friendly and down to earth staff. Will definitely go back!

Went for a late Sunday lunch. Sat down, no service at all. Asked for a menu and the waitress barked that it’s all on the blackboard. Chose and waited but no service. Left. Sorry to say it’s a bit musty inside. Might have been an off day but not impressed.

Visited here just mid mooring coffee time! Lovely little place, very welcoming, attention to detail on food presentation great! We just had scone and coffee but gorgeous warm scones! All food coming out looked excellent! Lovely staff! Dog friendly! Nice area to buy good quality fresh produce! Will definitely return!

G&D; have started opening some evenings. Had a lovely cheese and charcuterie board Friday night with an excellent bottle of rose. Service with a smile as always. Good for a night with the girls x
