Real Patisserie in Adur

Wow, popped in when passing by, what a lovely place and the cakes, quiche, tartlets, filled baguettes etc are absolutely delicious. We had the sunny lemon and pear and dark chocolate tartlet, both amazing, the pastry was perfection

Great service, great coffee, wonderful patisseries, wonderful bread and savoured. A really great place to go for a coffee and snack

This place has the best desserts in the area. If you want something that can compete with them it’s probably going to be just a handful of bakeries in Brighton. Definitely the best in Adur. Also, the owner Helen is the loveliest lady and always so helpful.

Great spot overlooking the river, great coffee and the temptations behind the glass are on another level! Helene and her family/team work so hard with long opening hours. We are so lucky having this on our doorstep

Our favourite cafe in town. Great coffee and food. Love Liza, she’s the epitome of service with a smile. Watching her dancing and singing along to the music whilst she works is a tonic. Also love this place because it’s one of the few places that doesn’t allow dogs inside. Animals shouldn’t be in cafes/restaurants where food is served. Big plus for those of us who want to eat senza cani.

My wife and I have been to this cafe several times. We always find the service very friendly and the coffee and pastries excellent. The prices also are very reasonable given the quality of the service and products. In one way, this place is a victim of its own success in as much as, because it is quite small it gets very crowded sometimes because it is so popular. Never mind! I forgive it anyway. Let's hope it remains so.

I came here once with a friend for the first time now I return weekly. I couldn’t recommend it more. The food is lovely and very reasonably priced.. service is amazing always super friendly staff and very efficient. The staff member who usually has bright coloured hair (I’m still yet to get their name) always puts a smile on my face. I love the croissants!

Lovely selection of cakes and pastry’s. Nice location to sit outside the cafe in the sun whether hot or wrapped up warm. Reasonably priced.

The best croissants and flat whites are to be found here, at La Pâtisserie in Shoreham! The staff are delightful, the service is efficient and friendly, the baguettes are very fresh. Very difficult to choose a sandwich as they are all so good! Also saw some beautiful galettes on offer today! Congratulations for offering such good, genuine French food! 😋

I live in California and every time I visit my daughter, I make sure I go to the patisserie at least once or twice. I love this place. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. I am looking forward to another trip this December and will celebrate my 76th birthday with another one of their delicious desserts.

Excellent venue and excellent service. I do not agree with the comments that criticise management and/or members of staff as they have always been very quick and attentive. I do not know where some people get these negative ideas from. I am willing to travel 1 and a half hour to get there, because it is the best place to meet up friends.

We love La Patisserie! The cakes are amazing and the hot chocolate is the best in Sussex. Hélène and team melt a mix of real dark and milk chocolate drops and then add steamed hot milk for a rich and creamy and perfectly balanced result.

I travel to get croissants here twice a week plus. Simply the best quality croissants BAR NONE. Beats all the other local chains. And at better prices too. A little taste of authentic France

I always go to La Patisserie, the food and coffee is always first class. Very friendly staff and fantastic atmosphere.

We come here very frequently for brunch, take away bread, snacks, light lunch or just for coffee, tea or hot chocolate. We find it to be the best shop in Sussex for enjoying and relax with family and friends. The staff are always very courteous and efficient. We live in Lancing a couple of miles away and family members always come here from Goring-by-sea about six miles away. I am Italian, love very good coffee and La Patisserie serves the best coffee in Sussex by far. I read a review on Trip Adviser from a person called Charmaine and I must say that I can’t understand why she is not at all complimentary about the Patisserie. All I can say is thank you La Patisserie for having looked after us so well for so many years and hopefully for many more to come.

My mother likes going here as the cakes are nice however 9 times out of 10 we are over charged so i now add everything up before I even order and always have to correct the staff when they charge me as there have been various occasions I have had to que up again to get money back from being over charged. I am Italian so I know good coffee, it is not nice coffee here. Most of the time they miss something off our order, today it was one of the coffees. The other day we got 2 takeaway coffees and the takeaway cups were only 2/3 coffee the rest froth. There is always a problem at this place so I will not be visiting again. Other nicer places in Shoreham with competent staff who don’t over charge you and get your order right

The filled baguettes are delicious. The array of cakes and pastries is authentically French. Service is prompt. Go early or late if you want a table as La Patisserie is justifiably popular, but get a takeaway at any time to eat in the nearby churchyard or on the beach.

Found this cute little place whilst visiting Shoreham. The full tables gave a great indication of how popular they are, and with good reason! A warm welcome by friendly staff, followed by a tasty croissant and the finest coffee. Wish I lived closer!

I love this place & would go there every day if I lived in Shoreham. The flat whites are perfection, the choice & quality of pastries, bread & savouries are amazing & makes it difficult to choose & friendly staff 🥰

Couldn’t decide between the tarte aux pommes or pear and chocolocate. Luckily neither could my friend so we got one of each and shared. Gorgeous.

Delicious lunch choices made on the premises - tastiest pork and apple sausage roll ever! Served warm - perfect for a rainy mid-week lunch stop.

Love this little cafe, great coffee and amazing patisserie and savouries. A real gem for brekfast, brunch,lunch or afternoon tea..

As usual dreadful, slow service from mostly teenagers and early 20’s staff. And when you gently ask them why it’s taking so long the attitude is indifferent to surly. Really disappointing as the quality of the products is good. They really need an experienced supervisor...

We often go the La patisserie, the food is exceptional and the service is outstanding. They remained open throughout the lockdown and were a small but very significant oasis against the COVID in Shoreham. A great service to the community and really great coffee, food...

fab coffee reasonable prices/ Owner is so passionate about the shop Cannot fault her and staff Wouldn't use anywhere else)

I came for a coffee and bacon sandwich with my mum on Mother’s Day and The young man that served us was so attentive and polite I couldn’t fault anything food and coffee was lovely and his service was exemplary!!!!

I could hardly believe the negative reviews I read about this excellent patisserie. Sometimes, I think one can place people in paradise and they would complain about the view. As a not very accomplished cook, I ordered a cake to serve as a dessert for...

Wow! What a find. Tremendous service and outstanding. Delicious coffee and tasty sweets. The savouries looked amazing. We will be back definitely next time we visit. Thank you for being so kind and accommodating! My brother who is disabled needed the loo and they were...

We visited this morning, first time since the Pandemic started, it was even better than we remembered, the staff are all first class and Helen was as welcoming as always, the coffee was out of this world as was the food too. It has been...

Having parked near the beach, walked along the boardwalk, we headed over Adur Ferry Bridge and stopped at La Patisserie to get takeaway drinks, they have a special window especially for this purpose. Ordered a latte, coke & asked if they had any biscuits as...

My wife and I visit very regularly and the coffee, cakes and particularly the almond croissants are amazing. The service is second to none and we believe it is the best patisserie we know of

Love Patisserie. Great selection of cakes, sandwiches, ice creams, and drinks. Good seating area outside in the summer, and heaters for the cooler days.

Stopped here one morning, bacon rolls, the bread was probably the best I’ve ever tasted. Raspberry danish crown was as delicious and coffee fantastic. Staff super friendly. Will definitely stop here again and have recommended this place to friends.

My friend and I go here regularly for coffee and are so pleased lockdown has allowed outside coffee and cake eating again. Highly recommended.

There’s a reason there are always queues outside this little Patisserie in Shoreham - the great combination of excellent staff, coffee and food. The staff are lovely and friendly, the chocolate & almond croissants are top tier and their bread is worth a 7am queue...

Among the food I've had, the aubergine croque is perfectlyt marvellous, as the saying goes, and the flat white coffee is spot on.

My wife and I have had coffees and pastries here on several occasions. First the coffee;always excellent. Great flavour and right temperature - if you want it extra hot - just ask. We have had croissants, sausage rolls, fruity pastries and financiers (NOT all on...

We bought this Raspberry Mousse, Gluten free pistachio sponge, raspberry mousse & raspberry cake, for a colleague on her special birthday. It was beautiful and so light, this is very dangerous as it meant we may need to have a second helping! ;)Lovely friendly staff, esp. at 7.30 am in the morning when I picked it up and we also bought pain au chocolats and plain and almond croissants. They are so amazing. I am so impressed with this place. Wish I lived closer!!! :(

It was late on Bank Holiday Sunday when we call in. We had 2 lovely gingerbread lattes, a Bostock which had an almond topping and the young lady had such a lovely accent and such a pleasant and enthusiastic demeanour that when she described all the ingredients it went straight over my head and I just smiled and said ‘it sounds delicious’, and a Krumeny which had chocolate, hazelnuts and caramel. The service was excellent and we had a brilliant time.

I’ve both eaten in and taken out here a few times and can say that the food and coffees are excellent, the staff are helpful and friendly, one of the best places for breakfasts/lunch/snacks in Shoreham-by-Sea.

Very social distance aware. Baguettes are amazing. Staff wear shields all the time. Collect to take away or sit outside area.

Excellent coffee, and pastries to die for! All the staff are very helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend.

Breakfast. Out Worthing Hotel was not offering breakfasts due to Covid - 19. We therefore remembered this gem, and drove via Shoreham on our way to Hove. Great coffees, and a lovely croissant and bacon roll were very much welcomed and enjoyed! The bread was so good we picked up a stick before leaving. We enjoyed our breakfast sitting outside and people watching under the beautiful blue skies. We will return!

Wonderful local shop. The baguette tastes like authentic French bread, far superior to what you find in the supermarkets here. They even sell ficelles. Cakes are also delicious, as is the coffee. The staff are friendly and helpful. This is the best baker’s/cake shop I’ve ever come across this side of the Channel.

Hands down, the best chocolate and almond croissant I’ve ever had! I want to keep this place a secret (because I’m scared the croissants will go) but small businesses like these deserve recognition!

This is definitely one of the best coffee shops I ever been! The customer service is great, they very friendly and professional, always keeping the shop tidy, and clean, always with a smile, never rushing you, and the food tastes amazing! Fresh pastries, bread, pies, made in-store, it's amazing! I thought was another English coffee shop with just a french name, when to my surprise, even the staff were french! Was love at the first sight, Proper coffee, propper french pastries, I'm converted, now I go out of my way to, at least, go once a week, it's my little treat! They have a few vegan options, and when is good weather you can sit outside and appreciate the view of the lake/bridge. I feel so french when I go there

Great vegan food, choices, lovely staff and cheap. Veg tart on puff pastry with roasted veg & vegan cheese, perfectly balanced flavours. Side salad with seeds on, orange & date flapjack and oatley cappuccino. All for £9.50Staff were sensitive and attentive, and list of vegan options clearly listed in the window. Great harbour views too. 5 star hygiene rating. A lovely experience all in all.

This place is the perfect setting for a relaxing drink and snack. The cakes are amazing and they have gluten free ones which is great for my coeliac 11yo. The service is fab and the staff are always really friendly.

Lovely atmosphere and lovely coffee at a reasonable price. Staff are always really friendly and cakes are great too.

This year or my wife's birthday my sons and I decided to have one made for us. We chose the chocolate and pistachio which came complete with macarons they do so well. When I came collect it was Saturday and the sun was out and at midday they were madly busy. Queuing virtually into the street. Somehow they managed to keep it together. The girl who served me knew immediately what I had come for, had the cake boxed up in no time but just hesitated about my change because I had added in a ficelle (similar to a baguette but thinner and smaller). Unsurprising because they must have been under so much stress that day.The cake was absolutely delish. Light and just gorgeous. It just went down well after our Turkish meal and I'm glad we chose a mousse and not sponge perhaps.If you want to have a cake for your special occasion, head to their website where you have all the choices and sizes. We chose 20 cms but we are getting a good deal more slices than we thought. Those serving indications are really correct!Now the next occasion is a milestone birthday for my brother so we have some deciding to do....

Great selection of cakes and coffees on offer, excellent service and reasonably priced too, I'm a regular customer and will continue to be.

We come here at least once a week for a bacon roll and a coffee. It is the best cup of coffee in the county (and we have tried most of them) the bacon rolls are perfection on a plate and the staff are the friendliest and most helpful team ever.We can highly recommend La Patisserie to everyone who enjoy good eating and drinking

Lovely little patisserie, the food is incredible and the drinks are delicious. The staff are very friendly and welcoming too. My only complaint would be the paper plates, I understand it's easier to clear up. I just feel like it's a lot of unnecessary waste what with all the climate problems we're facing, also it's not that nice eating off of a paper plate.

Best sausage roll and apple tart with a lovely cup of coffee served by a very nice and smiling waitress.also very nice French bread. Keep the good work and see you very soon. Merci!

The best coffee place in Shoreham that we have experienced. We've tried most in the town and this one was the best experience. Friendly staff - good tea and coffee - great cakes.

What else but a little oasis of France...it’s my respite to switch off and relax when I’m down in the area...I’ve been here too often now, if that’s possible? I only wish there was a sister shop/Patisserie where I live.

La Patisserie is my guilty pleasure! I can't say guilty secret because I'm always telling people how good it is! This week the place has been buzzing with happy customers. And even though the owners are away on a well earned break, the front of house team have more than maintained standards. Everyone is well trained and that translates into efficient service with a smile. All of the staff are a credit to this wonderful patisserie and it's no surprise that the customers are often queuing out of the door. The chewy brown bread is out of this world and this week I discovered a rustic French baguette. There is also a mouthwatering range of pastries and macaroons, not to mention hot bakes and lovely coffee. When somewhere is doing such a great job, and you feel welcomed as a regular customer, it's a pleasure to let Shoreham and the world know! Congratulations to a place that really offers something different and keep up the good work.

Love this place, great selection of cakes, pastries and savouries, excellent quality. Small seating area with more outside on the pavement with river views. Coffee perfect. Friendly and efficient staff. Clean. Only wish they had China plates to help the environment.

I love this place, in my opinion it has the best coffee in Shoreham. There is a huge variety of breads and the cakes are truly works of art. It could rival a French Patisserie easily!

We visited this patisserie in Shoreham for the first time last saturday and I was amazed at the quality and variety of the cakes and savouries on display. I could imagine myself in any French city at any patisserie worth its salt. Truly magnificent. The bread is just as good especially the Rye sour. Ice cream and coffee also very good quality. If only we had one in my city I would be there every day. We are going back to Shoreham just to buy more cakes and it ouside with ice cream and coffee. Sublime.

I can't begin to describe the delicacies here, they are all mouthwateringly good. Just watch your eyes aren't bigger than your stomach! Great coffee too.

I have been back here several times because the cakes are just irresistible. The reviewer who said the cakes are pricey - well I don't know what or where they are buying from but here it's quality and I think the prices are reasonable. In fact I know of a comparable Pâtisserie we go to in Boulogne and the prices are pretty much the same.

The bread and selection is second to none locally. The pastries are luminous. There's really not much more to be said except that the few tables for coffee are always busy.

Tried this place again after giving up a couple of times due to somewhat chaotic service. Still disorganised, seating pretty uncomfortable and cakes and pastries very over priced. Several better places for coffee in Shoreham.

This establishment is popular because the food is so good, and the staff are always welcoming. There's often a queue but it is worth the wait! You can order food in advance, which is handy if you are entertaining. I thoroughly recommend this café /patisserie.

Excellent quality patisserie and fresh bread. Tasty sandwiches, baguettes etc. Good selection of savoury snacks. Quite a few tables inside and out, can be a queue...but it's worth the wait.

When in town and after a coffee I visit here,unfortunatly the display of cakes wrecks my will power and I have to indulge.The coffee is top class and is one of the few places in the town that will provide cream to go in it....to me coffee without the cream does not taste the same and having semi skimmed milk with it is an abomination ! One down side is that being so popular its not easy to get the seating that one would prefer.

While visiting Shoreham we decided to stop at this lovely place to eat. It looked so inviting and we weren't disappointed. The staff were friendly and the food was delicious. It does have a small outside seating area but it was raining so we ate inside. So nice to receive a coffee hot! Many big chains seem to serve coffee luke warm. Nice atmosphere, will visit again when in the area.

Visiting Shoreham with friends we stopped at "La Patisserie - Bakery & Coffee Shop" for morning coffee.

I've visited this cafe several times over the last few months and have never been disappointed. Coffee is always good and cakes are wonderful. Would recommend for light snacks also. Cafe is small so not always easy to get inside but if weather is fine you can usually get a seat outside.

This cafe appears to have changed hands and unfortunately not for the better, well not yet anyway. Really disappointed with the fruit tart as there was so little fruit content I won’t rush back anymore as we can get a decent coffee elsewhere. Hope it comes back up to it’s former days.

I used this patisserie a lot over the summer. Mostly for takeaway excellent baguettes and almond crossiants or lemon and poppy seed cake they made my flat white just how I like them with an extra shot.. Is a little bit pricy but you get what you pay for.. Can get busy but staff very helpful and friendly.. Could do with an extra Barrista machine for when it's very busy..

Fresh baked bread and the pastries are to die for! Coffee is excellent. Seating is limited but on a fine day tables are set outside in the precinct. They also sell ice cream and cold drinks. The staff are very helpful and cheerful, a very popular place to buy daily bread.

I ordered a birthday cake for my wife's party. I picked it up and was delighted by the presentation of the cake. It looked delicious, and tasted just as good. The French lady (owner?) who served me was extremely pleasant. Everyone loved the cake and I would totally recommend this patisserie. Merci x

What a lovely patisserie, I went in initially for a loaf of bread and ended up coming out with extra. I purchased a couple of individual quiches for dinner they were delicious and I will definitely return. I must recommend their almond cakes as they are the best I’ve had for ages.

Tremendous choice of everything, well prepared and presented and exceedingly good to eat add that to friendly helpful staff and what more could you want 👍

Lovely service, lovely food, lovely coffee! Sometimes its a bit tricky getting a seat in this cafe, however, you can understand why. It always has a nice buzz......lovely atmosphere so, its natural that a lot of people like to visit this little cafe.

A regular stop and always busy. Not much space so usually take something away. Baguettes, croissants and cakes are great and their ice cream. Everything served with a cheery smile..

A great shop, nice staff and yummy food. My daughter had the quiche today and reckoned it was the best ever.

Just thre best, most authentic french bread and pastries.

We love this place and will always use it.. great cakes and coffee and lovely staff..

This is a lovely little shop - perfect for a morning break after the school run ;-) The hot chocolate is very tasty and always got enough chocolate.

Perfectly cooked bacon and warm fresh baguette. Clean, nice staff too. Regular cappuccino was great. Good location.

Called in to this delightful coffee shop/bakery 3 times over a couple of days visit to the area. Really good coffee, served by smiley staff, great bread and a beautiful selection of cakes. A gem.

it is with real regret that i feel i have to write this review. We have been coming here for ages and always had a great experience, however me and my daughter came in for lunch today as a treat. she had Tuna sandwich, i had a prawn baguette. Neither of us could eat them!...mine had a very strong taste, and the prawns tasted a little stronger than they should and my daughters sandwich was not nice either..the tuna tasted cheap and strong and really wasn't pleasant!..considering she always has a tuna sandwich whenever we lunch out, so for us both to not be able to eat them is rare...

Una auténtica pastelería francesa en un pueblecito costero.

My partner and I just had our French themed engagement party over the weekend, and we had a large order of food ready for the occasion. The food was utter perfection and the choice of food available was absolutely amazing. We ordered from the Shoreham branch and was greeted with a queue out the door in a food business (Which is never a bad sign!) the atmosphere was incredible and the food was presented front and centre looking fresh and bursting with colour and decadence.

very good cakes and bread on the premises and coffee also good, but only criticism is not enough seats

I am a local and have always found the food and service excellent. The “Chewy Brown” is to die for, just beautiful!!

The baking is absolutely first class, the coffee is great, and the service is very good, even when they are really busy. Helene, the French owner, is always absolutely charming and leads by example.

Chewy brown yum. French sticks yum. Almond bites yum. Soup fab. Fab coffee. Fantastic position. We love it.

All of the food is excellent, and is always busy because it all tastes loverly, prices ok, good position to eat and drink outside we can't ever walk past without going in.

I popped in yesterday after a gap of several months. It was as good as I remember. Great coffee and pastry, which is enhanced to another level by the service and smile of the hostess Helene.

Lovely food at a reasonable cost. Staff very welcoming and efficient. Cakes are fabulous with a great selection. We had a nice lunch of quiche and sausage roll. All extremely tasty with a lovely coffee. We will definitely be back.

We came here after walking past several times and were really glad we did! We only had tea and cake but it was excellent. The cakes are clearly freshly made and the mango and lime slice was divine. It's a busy little place and the freshly baked breads and quiches also looked very tasty- will have to try those next time!

Very tasty sausage rolls, hand made and delicious. The cakes are amazing it’s like being in a French patisserie. Oh it is a French patisserie, what a fantastic asset for Shoreham by sea. Very friendly staff and very busy.

I’m a big fan of the Real Patisserie Company’s chewy brown loaf and they serve a good coffee and pain au chocolat here, but we had to sit out in the cold today because of their no dogs policy. I’ve since found out that nearby cafes Hector’s Shed and Tom Foolery are dog friendly,so we know where to go next time.

This is a real French Patisserie and the owner is a genuine French Patissier. And does it show. A lovely modern setting overlooking .the Adur and cakes just as you would find in France beautifully displayed and all explained. There is just so much to choose from even at 5pm on a rainy Friday afternoon.

Really yummy pastries and cakes! A fab selection - LOVE the pistachio and berry cakes! Nice location too overlooking Adur river whilst having a coffee! Can say I will definitely be returning and always look forward to a yummy cake in here!

We dropped in for morning coffee, lots of cakes to chose from so had to false a chocolate eclair down, and take a selection home with us.
