Kingsley Coffee Shop in Arun

I had cheese and tomato sandwich bread was hard cheese didn't taste nice thank you to Nathan to give refund back bit over priced best thing is children department slide

Great coffee! Lovely food! and very helpful staff all very warm and welcoming. Speaking with the owners seems they have some great plans for the place will definitely be returning! Thank you!

A pleasant cheery spot for a coffee and catch up with friends. However the price of a takeaway sandwich at £6.50 was rather an unpleasant surprise! Average bread with a bit of tuna and salad. Poor quality and value.

We went on the website and it wasnt very specific on whether they were doing pottery painting or not. So me and my family showed up after a half an hour drive, little did we know they weren't doing it anymore. I just wish they were more specific on the website:(, what a waste of fuel. But over all the food was amazing.

We didn’t visit today to eat something. I was on a mission to make a bauble with my new baby’s footprints on for Christmas. However, as soon as you walk in the staff are friendly and welcoming. All of the customers seemed happy chatting away. The staff were so helpful and great with my baby when we were taking the prints too. The man in charge of the pottery was lovely and helpful. I would definitely visit again to get a coffee and some lunch. Thank you all. What a great little place!

My wife and I hav stopped for a coffee or a quick lunch on more than one occaision. We found the staff to be delightful, the managers interested in our feedback & appreciative of our custom and the food to be tasty & well priced.

If you want to have a coffee and a snack then this pet friendly child friendly cafe is the place for you. The staff are very friendly and the service is 10 times faster than the coastal cafes

Such a lovely friendly & welcoming cafe for break, coffee, afternoon tea, lunch. We had the Kingsley breakfast yesterday and tea/cake today. Service is always excellent and quality food. Pottery painting fun too. So luck to have this on our doorstep.

We visit every Saturday and are never disappointed. Friendly, attentive staff. Fresh , delicious food and the opportunity to paint pottery and purchase unique gifts; what’s not to like? In the current climate , tables are well spaced and you ‘feel safe’ Would highly recommend to anybody wishing to enjoy breakfast, lunch, cake or just a drink. Well done all at Kingsley

Fantastic service. The staff are very welcoming and friendly- it makes all the difference, especially in the difficult circumstances. Lunch was great, and had a large range of different cakes and drinks too. All at a reasonable price. Had great fun painting pottery, and could easily spend a whole day here because of the atmosphere. Definitely will be returning here again!!

I pre ordered afternoon tea which we had for lunch. Lovely large table for 2 plus a high chair. Fresh fingers sandwiches, mini cakes were delicious and a huge scone with cream and jam. All in all .... yum 😋 Excellent service too.

I could have stood the very overpriced menu but the lectures and aggression of the female owner/manager will ensure that I never enter this place again.

Pre arranged to meet some friends for afternoon tea, at Kingsley Coffee and Crafts We were given a afternoon tea menu in advance for any fussy sandwich eaters (namely me!!) Everything was baked fresh this morning! It was all so fresh & tasty, the sones were unbelievable! It came with unlimited tea! ... there was ample there but also eating through it didn’t feel like a mission! I had told my husband I would bring him a doggy bag! Fat chance 😊🐷 The afternoon tea is £14.95 - eat out scheme has been great for them & us, but we still need to support the local businesses now it’s coming to an end 👏👏 The cafe is in ferring, there’s parking & ample room, they have a pottery cafe & have utilised the space upstairs for more tables to ensure Social distancing, if you don’t want to paint in they also have a great home service Kingsley Creations — at Kingsley Coffee and Crafts

Shared a fabulous afternoon tea with friends, all distancing regs taken care of by a wonderful team who looked after and fed us so brilliantly. I’d share the images of the amazing food but it all went too soon .. lovely and cant wait to do it again. Thank you Kingsley!

Visited with my mum and little sister and puppy to take advantage of the eotho scheme. Lovely friendly staff, great food and vast choice of pottery painting :) was a lovely day out.

Visited after lockdown , social distancing and hygiene were great. Tea and cake were fabulous, friendly staff can’t wait to visit again.

Fast service. Friendly staff. Parking outside and in kingsleys car park to the right of the cafe. Good menu and freshly cooked to order. Home made cakes too

Perfectly placed on the cycle route along the coast, I was cycling along there on a cold day and it looked so inviting. Very glad I popped in – excellent coffee and a lovely piece of cake. Just enough of a boost to make the rest of the ride even more pleasurable despite the cold and greyness of the late afternoon. So – if you are out for a ride, do drop in and have a chat with Adam – he’s a cyclist too and you can waste an enjoyable few minutes talking about bikes. Cakes, coffee, bikes, chat. What could be better?

we live in ferring and its local easy to get to good food nice people comfortable and gifts to .beats going into town or the garden centres....thumbs up

This is my second visit here for pottery painting and lunch. It’s a delightful place with a good range of things to eat, buy and paint. You can while away an afternoon being creative and park right in front too. Oh and your dog can come in.

Popped in for coffee and sandwich as always seems busy when passing so thought we would give it try. We were going to stay for cake but I was not impressed to see one of the staff (man) bring food to another table, pet their dog then return to the counter. Enough said.

Popped in with my daughter and chose a delicious "special" veggie wrap sweet chili cheese with onion and nice garnish.My daughter had a kids lunch box with a ham sandwich on granary with a good amount of ham inside.Afterwards we had a home made almond and cherry loaf which was freshly baked and still warm..very,very nice!My daughter painted a lovely mug which a staff member then wrote "happy birthday" onto, with beautiful writing.Wonderful staff good value for money will go back.

Visited with a friend for morning coffee and a cake. I would rate it as 'just ok' - not special, not awful. Small size coffees were really tiny, we both felt. Choc tiffins were nice. Would we visit again? Possibly not.

The coffee is amazing I pop in just for a latte. Great gifts as well especially baby and christening ideas, lovely cards and cakes 😊

I visit here frequently for a breakfast or just coffee and have always found it a very pleasant experience. Good choice of freshly prepared food and friendly staff. Their cakes are divine too! Along with a small gift shop this place is a real gem and always packedToday I was slightly saddened to see sitting at the next table a couple with a dog on their lap. Whilst I don’t object to dogs big or small I found it wrong to see this dog licking the tablecloth and virtually eating off the plate If dogs are allowed in there ( which they are) surely it should have been pointed out that dogs remain on the floor under the table as was another well behaved pooch. I shall be returning however as hopefully this was just a one off!!

My husband and I visited this lovely coffee shop. It has a warm and friendly atmosphere. I am a wheelchair user and it was easy to park nearby and get into. The staff were lovely and the service efficient. We had a lovely, tasty breakfast which was a very reasonable price and tea/coffee which set us up for the day. Highly recommended! The cakes looked delicious but I am afraid it was a little too early even for me!

Great coffee. Delicious, fresh salads. Friendly service. Outside space. I eat at the Kingsley Coffee Shop on a regular basis, and never have a cause to complain.

Best Latte ever and tea cake was lovely and fresh and hot with butter, plus dog friendly. Great coffee house 😀

stopped off while out walking the dog, we usually go to a different cafe but this one had been recommended, we weren't disappointed, a fresh pot of tea with a triple layer cake nice staff and full of nik naks and things to buy, we purchased sone local honey

The small coffee shop is great for pottery painting as it was quick, fun and family friendly but is very over priced. Just for two got chocolates and a slice of cake it was almost £10. Shame as such a wonderful atmosphere and staff are incredible.

Excellent meeting place with wonderful staff, friendly visitors and good value coffee - a big plus for me is that Doggies are very welcome too ☺️🐾

I come here often to have lunch or do pottery and it has always been a lovely experience. The food is delicious and the staff are extremely nice and welcoming.

I visited here with my daughter and two granddaughters. They both had a baby chino, which I thought was very cheap at 50p each!

We came for the first time to this cafe with 2 granddaughters aged 6 and 10. We had heard that there was craft painting here. There was a huge variety of pottery to paint and lots of wonderful paints. The children really enjoyed their time painting and were engrossed for 2 hours. The staff were wonderful and very helpful with excellent advice on how to paint their chosen objects. There is also a good supply of coffee, cakes and other goodies. The cafe was full - mostly older people just having coffee and a chat, but 4 tables were full of children their parents and carers. So do go here if you want some good and creative entertainment for your children or just want a coffee and food inn a relaxed atmosphere.

This is a vibrant cafe that was busy if ht when we visited. The quality of the food and drinks was high and the prices are reasonable. There are plenty of tables inside and the cafe is both child and dog friendly, with activities available if you have children with you such as painting. Worth a visit

Well where do you go when your granddaughter visits and having spent an eternity in the children’s playground nearby, freezing to death in the process, she decides it is time for an energy boost? This cafe seems quite lively at the weekend and offers drinks, snacks and light lunches that seem to a good standard. We had teas, coffees and bacon sandwiches - a generous portion of thick bacon in each sandwich. The cafe has an array of arts and crafts items on display - very tempting for children of most ages. Our granddaughter decided to do pottery painting and chose a plain clay muffin shaped pot with a separate lid. There is a choice of around 30 paint colours to choose from and a wide array of paintbrushes. Needless to say, her enthusiasm waned along the way so parents and grandparents all joined in to provide a degree of quality control! Since all the pots are fired in the kiln once a week, you will need someone to come back and pick up the completed item although, I believe, it can be posted to you at extra cost. On Saturdays, you can do painting until 4:30 pm, not sure about the times on other days. Where else can you while away 3 hours on a cold and wet day and still feel you have achieved something? It will be interesting to see how the pot looks once it has been fired - probably not a work of art but maybe a cherished memento of a rare visit to see her grandparents.

Our granddaughter was visiting so we had a trip to the playground opposite and then popped into Kingsley Coffee Shop to warm up and have a bite to eat. It’s situated on the corner and there is allocated parking outside, or alternatively find somewhere to park locally. There are plenty of tables inside and gifts displayed around the walls. Order food and drink at the counter and it will be brought to the table. All four of us chose a bacon sandwich and I can tell you it went down a treat with plenty of bacon inside. Delicious. Our granddaughter then did a bit of pottery painting...well she started and the grownups finished. In fact my husband and I are considering doing some for ourselves one day as we found it very relaxing. There is a nice friendly relaxed atmosphere and well behaved dogs are welcome.

There usually seem to be several families with small children working away at different crafts - especially painting ceramics. This isn't the usual sort of coffee shop - its a cut above! The coffee and light meals are very good and the atmosphere very pleasant.

My husband and I had a lovely lunch of jacket potatoes with prawn and Marie Rose sauce. The jackets were cooked beautifully and tasted just as jacket spuds should! Really fresh salad, delicious dressing and coleslaw. Excellent value. A really friendly atmosphere and such warm, friendly and efficient service. Definitely 5 stars!

always lovely staff, lovely scones and dogs welcome. Very friendly coffee place. Good coffee and nothing is too much trouble

Been here a few times and it is a bit hit and miss on food quality. Had some great cakes and freshly made pannini but on the other hand a very old baked potato and flat coke.

This cafe is a mixture of cafe, gift shop and pottery painting so take your pick or as some people were doing, letting their children paint some Christmas gifts. The menu is limited but the food looks fresh although perhaps slightly pricey. You can sit outside among the cars but it is not a very edifying view.

Ok coffee shop , bit pricey for their food considering it is a coffee shop . Staff are friendly and venue is comfortable

Nothing better on a Sunday after a long walk with the dogs, to stop at Kinsley's on the way home. Excellent coffee, delicious homemade cakes and best ever tea cakes. Lovely staff and a good selection for lunch.

I visited this tea room the other week with my two daughters and was not impressed at all. I ordered some sandwiches and some drinks. Whilst waiting for our food I could hear what I presumed to be the lady owner being extremely rude and nasty to one of her staff which wasn't very nice to hear. I found this very upsetting to hear as the staff member being reprimanded looked really upset. When my food finally arrived I found it very average and nothing special at all with very poorly made sandwiches and very basic poor ingredients and poor presentation. I certainly would not recommend this tea room and certainly will not be going back. I hope the staff member who worked there has the sense to go somewhere where they will get more respect from their employer.

A great place for a light lunch or snack with friendly and efficient staff. The menu is compact but with sufficient choice for most.

Nice tea room to stop and meet friends, lots of gifts and cards for sale. Area for children to decorate pottery. Cakes really tasty. Staff friendly and helpful.

Nice friendly atmosphere here and cheerful, helpful staff. The jacket potato and salad was tasty indeed as was the delicious large chunk of cake which filled me up nicely when washed down with the ample sized latte. I have done pottery painting with the grandchildren here in the past which is an excellent fun attraction and I don't hesitate to recommend this bright, airy restaurant/pottery cafe/gift shop.

Buen sitio para un tipo sándwich en el almuerzo o el café y la tarta, pero lamentablemente lo que ha sucedido a la 'solía ser sabroso queso scones ahora sólo sabor de mostaza así potenciamos más repugnante. El personal acogedor y una buena selección de regalos para comprar pero un poco caro, lo cual es una pena. Gran lugar para reunirse con amigos siempre algo en el Kingsley.

Pagamos £6. 50 cada uno por una fuente griega - bien lo tome. Íbamos a compartir un plato entre nosotros - buen trabajo no como nos hubiera sido hambrientos por la hora de la cena. El plato consistía en un pan de mantequilla pan pitta pat un poco de lechuga y taramasalata seco antiguo hummus algunos y unas aceitunas. Descaradamente caro bogotá comida estándar. No sólo eso, el hombre detrás del mostrador de cera Grosero y brusco deberíamos haber caminado! No es adecuado para niños, lo cual es una lástima ya que hubiera vuelto por la cerámica y la pintura. La camarera que nos trajo la comida era adorable sugiero, ella encuentra un lugar más agradable para trabajar.

Este lugar es inusual ya que tiene un café a un precio razonable, que vende deliciosos pasteles caseros, hay una tienda de regalos, junto con una buena variedad de productos, un centro de artesanías donde uno puede decorar cerámica, decoupage y deja varios objetos artísticos de flujo completamente los jugos. También hay una tienda de flores en el mismo edificio. El personal es muy servicial y amable. El edificio es apto para sillas de ruedas, ya que es todo llano.

Basically a tea and coffee shop with an interesting collection of gifts and even a painting and pottery table for the kids.

Utilice esta cafetería regularmente su gran. Personal encantador, amable y el servicio.

Realmente como esta cafetería. Gran café con leche y tortas caseras aún mayor! ! !

Me encontré con esta cafetería tranquila hace unos años por pura casualidad y pensé que me tome un amigo allí hoy.

Went here so that my four year old granddaughter could paint a present for her papa as a birthday gift . The young staff, Zoe, I think, was so lovely with her. She helped her with an apron and chatted to her about her finished creation. Great selection of items for choice. She couldn't wait to get her finished gift. Thank you all...

Did not enjoy our visit to Kingsley, the young staff were very polite and friendly, but the more mature member of staff could learn a lot from her team, as she was quite standoffish and not very polite. We would not return as it did not feel welcoming due to the cold flooring and lack of ambience suited to a tea rooms/cafe. It was also quite expensive so overall not a very good experience.

Very helpful friendly staff, excellent service, good throughout the year at various times when I have visited with my daughter and sister. Good with food allergies. Cozy warm fire in winter. There are always many people visiting of all ages. Food and coffee, drinks always excellent. Offers pottery fun factory, decoupage, build a bear activities with help from assistants if needed. We generally visit and do one of these activities as well as having a light meal. There are also lovely gifts to buy. We are regular visitors and will continue.

Rude staff, disgusting food, bad service, bad atmosphere. Really wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Avoid!

Visited today for the first time while waiting for the bus. Excellent food and drinks available on the menu. Friendly staff too.

A group of us did some pottery painting here for an activity. It was a great idea and the craft area/cafe is lovely looking. It has a nice atmosphere and decorated really well. The art area is a little cramped with tables very close together. The instructions weren't given to us particularly clearly but we muddled through. Had a nice crafty afternoon here and would recommend it.

This cafe has become very popular, mainly (I'm guessing) due to the exceptional level of service.Unlike many establishments the staff here are actually pleased to welcome customers and go that extra mile to deliver what the customer wants, all served with a smile.Definitely recommend a visit if in the area.

This is a large cafe with lots of seating inside.They sell cards and gifts and crafty type items which are lovely and nice to browse whilst there. There is also a florist and some China etc that you can paint youself. The staff are nice and friendly and the cakes which look home made are delicious. They put some in a box for me to take home for hubby also. Just one thing lets it down and thats the outside are for sitting. There is a bench and sometimes one table with no umbrella and it doesn't look very inviting when your passing. I have rarely seen anyone sit outside and I think it is because of the uninviting seating area. There have been a few times when friends have wanted to sit outside so we have gone to another cafe. I really like this cafe but sitting outside is such a popular thing now so it could be something to improve on.

Went here on the spur of the moment for lunch with some dog walking friends. It was very busy but staff were really helpful and moved tables so we couldSit together. Ordered our drinks and food came quite quickly and was good. Lovely little spot for lunch or tea. Has a pottery too so you can paint pottery etc.

Love it here, go in at least once a week, great filter coffee which is all I drink, obviously do other coffees and big selection tea's. Sandwiches and cakes good selection. Lovely old fashioned cafe.

Fantastic place,small menu,very accommodating can take away if busy,lovely staff, shop has loads of goodies to look and buy(bit pricey) we class this as our local stop now! Love it

Great coffee shop in Ferring, parking at the front. Delicious food, and good coffee.Dogs also welcome if well behaved. They also sell flowers, gifts and have a pottery area which is great for families. Good place to relax and eat cake!

Lovely surroundings - very bright and busy. Pottery area, flower shop, gift/crafts area and cafe area. Lovely fresh food and an assortment of wonderful home cooked cakes and goodies.

I work with people who have learning disabilities or autism, so finding cafes which are friendly, welcoming and respectful can be quite a challenge. However, Kingsley cafe makes meeting in a cafe a breeze! The staff are friendly and so polite and encouraging of my client- they are patient and talk to them like they would any customer. We only ever have soft drinks here, but we are always warmly greeted and made to feel welcome. Thank you so much Kingsley- you're a model for others to aspire to.

A great little place to visit whether it be for breakfast, brunch, dinner or snack! The cakes are delicious ...... and can also be purchased as a whole for an amazing price if you are holding a family event at home - ask for further details. Friendly staff although the owner can be a bit starchy on occasions (wear that frown upside down).Sells also cards, gifts and pottery painting etc. There is a florist area on the premises too! Enjoy!!

You can buy small models of animals and other things and pottery and paint them whilst you eat. the food is plain but the idea is good

My Mum lives just down the road from here and it a lovely place for quality time to spend with my mum.Food is excellent especially the Cranberry and Brie Panini is delicious very well presented coffee and selection of drinks is very good.Great variety of cake large portions so great to share.Staff are welcoming and lovely atmosphere we always have a browse of the gifts after nice florist at the back of shop, Very resonable !!

Cute coffee shop also offering lunch. Quirky shopping hand made items toys and furniture and small gifts and cards. Pottery painting for children and adults one end so can get a little noisy in holidays. Very friendly service

Reasonable little place for a snack and drink, some off street parking and other attractions nearby and on site. The building is of some historical note as it was the Cooper garage of Mini Cooper fame.

While working in Ferring I called in for coffee and cake. It's a lovely combination of coffee shop, gift shop, pottery and florist - plenty to keep me interested while waiting for my coffee! My latte was very good and my coffee cake was lovely - and a very generous portion. Parking was a bit of a problem but I eventually managed to find a space about five minutes away. There were only a couple of other people when I visited but the atmosphere was very relaxed. I'd happily visit again when I'm next in Ferring.

A cute place to enjoy a coffee/cake/light lunch, in a vibrant and bustling atmosphere. Service helpful and the product fresh and well-presented. The on-site pottery painting adds some charm and character, without impinging on the other customers.The prices, however, are a little inconsistent. Coffee/tea/cakes are prices as expected, but sandwiches seem to be disproportionately expensive (nearly £5) when compared to more substantial meals (jacket potatoes, quiche etc), which are a similar price.Would highly recommend poached eggs on toast/muffin and the other breakfast options, which the staff are happy to serve all day if you ask and good value and taste very fresh.

If you are ever in Ferring add on some extra time for a visit to Kingsley Coffee. Far more is offered here than your standard latte! You can paint pottery, do découpage, browse the lovely gifts and craft section, as well as enjoy the lovely food and drinks on offer. My kids love going to paint here. Even my husband enjoyed himself and is now very proud of his special mug :-)Fiona and her team make sure nothing is too much trouble and take care to explain how to do each activity or suggest gifts. Its also a fantastic florist too so you can treat yourself to a bouquet after your coffee. Worth going just for the people watching really. So much to see over a coffee!

I enjoy Kingsley's coffee shop in Ferring. A busy friendly establishment with onsite florist, gift shop and pottery painting. Very friendly staff, with a .good range of hot and cold food and yummy cakes. Best thing for me is that meeting friends here means a relaxed chat over a cup of tea with no one making you feel you have outstayed your welcome.

Interesting cafe, gift shop and pottery workshop. And well behaved dogs welcome! Definitely will go back.

I wanted a quick lunchtime snack so visited here earlier this week - never again! The queue just didn't seem to be going down at all as each client seemed to cause the young, unsmiling lady behind the counter a problem of some sort. Then she got to the exceedingly grumpy looking and even more grumpy sounding gent in front of me who questioned her about various items on the menu in a way which would have been more appropriate from an enemy officer in a prison camp! No wonder the poor girl had a face like a fiddle!I studied the menu on arrival finally in front of the young lady and asked for a large panini with chicken and bacon - oh woe, unwittingly I too had caused a problem, so once again she had to ask advice from her colleague behind the food preparation counter alongside, if to place an order for bacon was OK. The answer came back along the lines of yes, fine, I'll have enough!So, I took my drink and my order number and waited..........................Twenty minutes later, a plate with three fairly hefty slices of grilled panini arrived, with a paltry salad garnish and seven tortilla chips! The panini contained grilled bacon and chicken sure enough, but no mayo, or butter or anything else to make it interesting or anything other than very very dry and boring. I had been listening to two old dears gossiping at the table alongside me - they too had moaned about the service and selection of available food. The menu is very limited I have to agree - although if done well, that's more than acceptable. Regrettably, the food on this occasion was neither well executed nor served.

This is a super coffee shop which serves delicious snacks and cakes. I love taking my daughter here as she can paint some pottery or do some decoupage while we enjoy a coffee and maybe a delicious cake. Very friendly staff.

An excellent coffee shop----the staff are friendly and attentive. Don't like the parking situation as I feel it's unsafe.

Very friendly service in this large multipurpose cafe.The coffee was ok and the cakes better. A good 'stop off ' if you're cycling by but need to chain your bike to the railings opposite.Parking outside but no bicycle racks!

Kingsleys is a lovely place for coffee, cake and a chat with friends. The atmosphere is cosy and 'cottagey' but still modern. The coffee is very good, the cakes delicious (lots of choice) and the staff very welcoming and friendly. There's also a gift section (some lovely things for your home), a florists in at the back and a place where children can make and paint ceramic items such as plates, mugs or their initials.You can linger here and not feel rushed. It's a busy little place but still manages to remain calm. I met a friend there recently and will definitely go again. It's a great asset to Ferring!
