Disappointing. Cold food and one plate late. Crab sticks are not crab! Service not bad but the food needs improvement. Reheating is a safety issue

Arrived to the cafe to a really warm greeting. Was given a complimentary biscuit whilst I waited (which was delicious), I ordered a cappuccino and a chocolate cannoli. Great coffee and really tasty cannoli! Will definitely be back. The people behind the counter were all so friendly and chatted to everyone who arrived.

We are always served by the lovely Elizabeth who we have never seen without a smile on her face. She is extremely friendly and always brings a kind and familiar face to our weekend trips at panino’s. She needs more recognition for the service she provides! Despite there being many coffee shops in horsham, we will always come back to paninos simply because, you can get a coffee anywhere but you CANNOT get an Elizabeth everywhere.

We were in Horsham for some shopping and wanted to lunch out. We'd seen Paninos here on TripAdvisor so checked it out. My wife and I had a coffee each and a lunch (one had a baked potato and the other a panini). Paninos delivered! We enjoyed the coffee, the lunch was just what we wanted and we really liked the staff. The lady who served us was lovely. We don't go to Horsham often but when we do we will be visiting again, thankyou!

Unfortunately I was very disappointed with the food served to me I’d asked jacket potato with butter and no salad but it came with a salad okay I won’t eat the salad not a problem, unfortunately without checking for allergies they had sprinkled balsamic vinegar over the salad which seeped under the jacket potato so I couldn’t finish my meal and didn’t have the time to order again so I just left definitely not a good experience

I am a frequent visitor to this café coffee house Gelateria and have even been known to accept a shopping trip to Horsham just to get a coffee Simply said, the coffee here has the best flavour and consistency in the area What other reason do you need to choose a coffee stop???

I have been to Panino cafe twice. Each time I experienced a long wait to be served. It is completely chaotic. There is usually about 5 people behind the counter but only serving, generally in a slow and indifferent manner. On my last visit, as I queued the guy in front turned to me with a completely exasperated look on his face, whilst the two women behind me gave up and left; I wish I had as well. I definitely won't be going back again, and have warned off others from going there too.

Panino’s is a sweet delight - with such a wide range of sandwiches, snacks, amazing cakes - there is something for everyone My partner and I were served by Antonio who was so helpful , kind , and willing to go the extra mile - thank you The sponge cakes were delightful - light, fluffy yummy and sickly sweet which is perfect for me ( the Victoria sponge ) My partner had the coffee - which I had to have a taster of - again delicious , light & perfect amount of coffee Perfect location and atmosphere here as well Sarah - Storrington

The set-up is inefficient as the staff are not connected on the orders they have. For instance, despite ordering a tuna mayo with cheese baguette, we received a Mexican Tuna sandwich, This happened after having to repeat our order several times during a 15 minute waiting period. The venue might want to consider placing the cashier at the front to ensure clarity on orders received or follow the Subway model where orders progress only once each stage of a work station is complete. If the restaurant can change how they process orders, it will be much better.

We visited on a Sunday so maybe not the best time. Only two girls serving one of whom was more intent on covering the cakes than helping serve the queue of customers, I asked for a white coffee and was asked which white coffee I wanted ? Just a white coffee, please . The girl then proceeded to list all the coffees they made. I then had to utter the dreaded phrase that all baristas hate, can I have a white americano please. We were given our coffee in paper cups. Outside we sat at one of the tables after about 5 minutes the mat from the cafe was brought out and beaten against the curb showering us with dirt etc. Could have been a better experience as the coffee was first class.

We went into the store with my wife and our little boy. He is 4 y.o. He took his time to decide what he wanted. At the end he changed his mind and asked to go somewhere else. Few minutes later asked to go back into Panino cafe where my wife heard the girl at the till commenting that this European people came in and went out without shopping. There is nothing wrong being European and our baby boy was born in U.K. Not to mention that the other girl who was making coffees, was munching the bacon which was baked for another customer’s panini.

I took my elderly mother for coffee here today. It was extremely busy but we were happy sitting and watching the world go by whilst we waited. After 35 minutes, and having seen two groups who arrived after us having their orders delivered, I wanted to check that our order hadn’t been forgotten. I had just confirmed with the waitress on checkout that our coffees were still in the pipeline, when the lady making the coffees began shouting at me, accusing me of lying about when I’d ordered the coffees and claiming that I “was trying it on!” I’m not sure what I was trying on. She was clearly stressed and very angry. She was also extremely rude. This was completely unacceptable and also unnecessary as I wasn’t complaining ; simply checking. I won’t be bringing my mother for coffee here again.

My husband had a lovely tuna baguette and bacon puff. I had a jacket potato which was very disappointing. Half was soft and the rest hard. Tasted of melted margarine and the cheese was small pieces of processed cheese that was meant to be melted but wasn’t. A shame that a simple meal can be so disappointing. Nice location for sitting out people watching.

Stopped here en-route to the station for breakfast. Great pastries on display but asked for a bacon sandwich and ended up with the best one I've ever had. It was on a wholemeal baguette and was simply perfect. Had a great black coffee with it. In fact, they were so good I ordered another round of both. So much better than the Premier Inn where I was originally planning to have breakfast

The new inside seats are perfect and even though the space is small , allowance has been made for social distancing. When the weather is OK, an outside seat works well particularly on market day to check out whats going on. Love it here. One of our favourite coffee spots - Ciao ciao !!

Two others in the very tired pub with unfriendly staff who as we were sat in the empty forecourt asked us if we were going to use the pub very much to try and move us on.

Fabulous meal using quality ingredients, an inventive menu, outstanding staff and service. We have eaten at many Michelin* restaurants over the years, but this is one of the best! We particularly liked that we were seated at a table with a good view of the kitchen, so were able to watch our meal being prepared and plated. Each course was then brought to the table by either Ben Wilkinson, or one of the team who explained what everything was. Each course on the tasting menu was very different so the totality of the meal was well balanced. The flavours within every plate were complex, sometimes surprising, but always a delight. We loved the way the flavours in a single mouthful changed as it was chewed and swallowed. Staff achieved the perfect balance of efficiency and friendliness. The wine flight was on the expensive side, but we are not big drinkers so shared one between us - which the sommelier was happy to accommodate. My biggest regret is that this restaurant is not closer to where we live. Thank you to everyone who helped create and serve this meal - you are a credit to your profession and well deserving of your accolades.
