The Flour Pot Bakery- Brighton Road in Worthing

Closing time on a Sunday is 1600, two of us popped in at 9 mins to for a quick cup of tea and any cake/biscuit they had available to see staff clearing up and was advised by the guy to "try somewhere else", so we did and won't return in future. I suggest going to G-Lite further along the road in Warwick Street; there we had a lovely cup of tea and an Italian biscuit. Suggest maybe you put "no service 15 mins before closing time" or similar outside in future.

The Flour Pot Bakery in Worthing is a wonderful experience. Great coffee, food and very friendly staff. I am a regular visitor and am never disappointed.

Despite a notice on the door saying dogs are welcome but paws must remain on the floor, I was told head office allow small dogs on their owner's laps to sit up to the table when I pointed out the dogs on laps and lack of food hygiene to a member of staff. Tables are not always cleaned or cleaned thoroughly between customers. Staff also stroke dogs and then carry on serving without washing their hands. Dogs are allowed off lead to wander freely around the tables whilst owners order at the counter. Very poor hygiene for a bakery with loaves of bread on open shelving.

We witnessed the worst service ever. A wobbly table caused a drink to spill. The waitress came with a toasted sandwich ordered by the customer. The customer indicated the accident and was subjected to a very unpleasant exchange. The customer was told that she shouldn’t have kicked the table, had caused the accident and so wasn’t eligible for a refill. Eventually the manager appeared who insisted the customer went outside to discuss the event in heavy rain. We understand a refund was finally given. The waitress reappeared with a cloth to wipe the table and angrily almost threw a chair out of the way. We were very upset for the customer and felt very ill at ease. We will not return.

Flatters to deceive, and not just this branch of the FPB. All looks good and presented in vogue with the bakery/coffee theme that is so prevalent right now. The marketing is very good. However, the food and drink did not live up to the billing. The coffee was not memorable and the roll fillings were poor. We go over the road every time now.

Lovely, friendly place, vibey, great choice of cafe eats, to eat in or take away. Coffee simply superb...Good strength and hot!! Love the experience.

Visited around 12 noon. Good coffee. Good selection of sandwiches & cakes. But! Tables not cleaned after previous customers. Floor was full of old crumbs. Dust & cobwebs around benches, window, walls & ceiling. Could put off customers returning. Staff member told me they cleaned before closing???

You know what didn't expect much from this place but I was extremely impressed with the service from the staff, especially Leanne who was the one who made my wonderful chai latte with a pretty little pattern, its the small things like that, that make my day. Would definitely recommend to others and will be back again!

We are regulars at our local flour pot, so much so that the staff know our order before we have to ask! The coffee and treats are great and the staff are all beautiful, lovely, friendly people. Never underestimate the importance of good staff! A decent range of Vegan options too, which is always very much appreciated.

The perfect brunch Such a lovely welcome from the staff. Excellent food ( I recommend the breakfast roll), lovely pastry (cinnamon & orange bun) and the best coffee I’ve had in ages

First visit to this branch of Flour Pot and it did not disappoint. A wonderful Apricot Danish and excellent coffee. Good service too - the girl who served me (I think I heard someone call her Evie) was really friendly and answered a question I had. Great to see it busy, with people inside and out. A nice place to sit and watch the world go by.

The food in here is 6 stars if that is possible. A great selection and really really nice. My one and only gripe was the price. When you go into a bakery, you expect change out of a tenner for a sandwich and a cookie. But to be fair, that seems to be the way most are going now. Great food tho.

Greeted with a welcoming smile. Top service from genuinely friendly staff, fabulous food and superb coffee. I highly recommend the capresse toastie , breakfast roll, almond croissant & the cinnamon roll. It’s basically all delicious. 😋

I've been to Flour Pot a bunch of times since it opened in Worthing and it is my favourite local coffee shop now. From delicious snacks like the little cookies often on the counter to the breads too, it might be my go-to coffee place but I cant ever pass up the opportunity for one of their baked goods. They make mynflat white perfectly and i also love their ice coffees. Super lovely staff, helpful and they enjoy a chatter which I really quite like. Best coffee shop in Worthing.

This is mine and my partners favourite place to see in the weekends! Without a doubt, the nicest coffee in town and the best sourdough toasties we've ever had. Their new chilli cheese grilled toastie has become my new favourite. However, their caprese grilled toastie is a close second! We love that there are so many vegetarian and vegan options, including a wide variety of pastries - vegan coconut pain au chocolat is my favourite! It's a lovely atmosphere, the staff are super friendly, remember us and they've got our usual order cracked already! We always see familiar faces there and lovely dogs, too. It's become a real hub for the local community 😋

It would have been nice to see a smile. Not once did I see a happy face. . I was visiting the town and fancied a coffee & something to eat
