The Orchard Cafe in Worthing

Amazing food! Would highly recommend

Two friends for lunch, one vegan and one omni - we were very impressed by the great selection of Vegan, Vegetarian and omni options on the menu, great choices for both of us. The food was fresh, plentiful, well cooked and well presented. Service was friendly and professional. I wish the new owners a very successful future. (my apologies, I am long overdue with this review, we had lunch in September)

We visited based on the reviews however the building is falling down from the outside it’s on a tilt, inside is basic, this may be the look they are going for, the loo is a shed out in the back yard with a make do starboard door that doesn’t really fit that well. 2 of us had a good lunch of pancakes but the other one had a sausage sandwich, too much margarine and only one sausage cut in half which was a bit rubbery, there were no cakes like the pics on the reviews showed. The staff were lovely but we won’t be going back.

Always delicious tasty food. Never had anything but a positive experience.

Went with a friend this morning for breakfast, and wow what a breakfast it was . Really good size portions and cooked really well . We’re very accommodating when we wanted to swap baked beans for tomatoes. Nothing too much trouble and really friendly staff . A really enjoyable visit, will definitely return and maybe try lunch next 😊

Lovely food and big portions. Coffee is average but lovely ambiance and customer service. I would like to try other food options in the future

Best Pancakes ever!!!! And the cheesy, pesto dirty fries did not disappoint. Great service and lovely atmosphere too 10/10.

Pancake is super Yummy! Especially, “The American” is cheesy, plus the bacons and sausage are fried in perfect. Couldn’t be happy more for a big portion with fair price. We did enjoy our breakfast and coffee. Thanks for the friendly service.

Most amazing brekkie/lunch!!! The atmosphere was so welcoming and all staff were delightful. Got our food within minutes and nothing was too much trouble. Dogs were also treated like V.I.Ps! A fantastic new family run business - couldn’t recommend more!!! What a perfect start to my weekend :)

This place is a real hidden gem. I had brunch with my friend and our two babies yesterday. We are dairy-free so it was great to finally find a nice place that serves delicious vegan pancakes and other breakfast options. Good baby change area and highchairs avaliable. Great relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Visited with my two sons this morning, we had pancakes and cooked breakfasts, delicious fresh food and fantastic friendly service from Lara :) Will be back!!

Absolutely excellent vegan options, highly recommend. Lovely staff

Great cafe. Delicious food, excellent staff as well as a comfortable and cosy atmosphere. A tucked away gem.

Lovely food my daughter is vegan and they have lots of choice, great service

We went to this cafe a couple of weeks ago and omg I've been craving it since... Recommendation the American pancakes, omelettes were filled to the brim. I came wait to go back!!

Such a lovely cafe. Dog friendly and several options for gluten / dairy intolerance. The GF pancakes are also made from soya milk so it’s a win win! They tasted so good 😊

Super vegan pancakes and large choice of delicious vegan milkshakes with a choice of milks. Also savoury items but I needed a sugar hit and this did the trick!

I stopped in for a cappuccino which was delicious! I didn’t get any food but it all looked and smelled delicious. The service was excellent it was really welcoming. I don’t live in Worthing but I’d definitely come back!

What a lovely find. Delicious food. Warm welcome. Family run. We will be back to try other delicious sounding options..

Stopped in for a good old fashioned full English having read the previous good reviews and I wasn’t disappointed. Staff pleasant, friendly and efficient, food excellent. Next time I’m in need of the same I’ll be back. Many thanks.

Fantastic cozy cafe. Great food and service. Pancakes are a must have!

Popped in at lunch time today for the first time. The food was spot on and staff were lovely. I had the smashed avocado on toast with mushrooms and spinach. Very generous amount of food, delicious and piping hot. My grandparents really enjoyed their toasted sandwiches and said they'd definitely return.

Short menu Food was amazing. Decent pot of tea too. 👏

OK The menu was limited. But the food was fantastic. Myself and team was very happy

Came here for brunch with my friend and it was lovely. The food was quick and tasted amazing. We both loved the hot chocolates and all the staff were lovely and welcoming. Would definitely recommend coming here with a wide range of options on the menu.

Supper good pancakes. Excellent value for money. Great location. The coffee was very good and we really liked the teapot with tea leaves. Quite unusual but so much better than a teabag. Will definitely come back.

Stopped in for a meeting and we were blown away by the pancakes!! Wow. Super good quality and value. Coffee was exceptionally good as well. Thank you

It was our first visit and certainly won't be our last! We were glad we booked. It got very busy but the staff took it in their stride and everyone was happy. The family-run cafe has a modern but homely vibe. Lara and the team made us feel welcome and were super patient while we deliberated on the menu. And we made the right decision - the pancakes and flat whites were absolutely gorgeous. The perfect way to celebrate a long-awaited catch up. We'll definitely be back.

Anscombe place. Would recommend !

A fantastic cafe! Great for gluten free as well as veggie. Very tasty breakfast. And an absolutely lovely team working, all very friendly and helpful!

The service was very poor waited to place order no really direction within the waiting staff maybe the management should direct there roles for smoother running, food was nicely presented but chips were over powered by the flavouring they are coated in, sausages bland and egg under cooked, pancakes could do with a better pouring jug for the syrup not a shot glass, the manageress or co owner was too enthusiastic and spoke to you like a toddler, furniture needs a bit more attention

Absolutely lovely little cafe Fab staff Doggie friendly Amazing food Just perfect settingv

Chose this cafe as they advertise GF. We have a 5 year old who is GF. Most places have only an adult GF menu but there was plenty of choice here. We all went for pancakes, bacon & maple syrup. Absolutely amazing and so inclusive for the little one. We asked them would you want to come back the answer a very loud YES!

Lovely cafe dog friendly. Food was great and service with a smile. Would definitely recommend.

What a little gem of a cafe. The breakfasts are phenomenal particularly the pancakes. Big bonus it's dog friendly and the staff are lovely too. I think this is going to to be a regular stop when visiting the town

best 👏 pancakes 👏 in 👏 town 👏 The pancakes are SO good! Always fresh + fluffy I really love visiting Orchard it’s always friendly and clean. no baby changing though ❌ (but great kid options on the menu)

Could not stay and eat as nothing gluten free when menu and boards outside say gluten free available Asked for gluten free breakfast was told by a women no gluten free bread, for toast etc was told we could not help you this is not fabricated its the truth,

Absolutely fantastic cafe. The breakfasts are amazing and the service is top notch. Also lots of options for veggie and vegans. Will definitely be going back!

This was our fourth visit in as many weeks, party of 4, this time 2 of of us went for the American Brekkie which came with the most amazing pancakes drizzled in maple syrup. This has quickly become one of our favourite cafes and will be recommending others to visit this little gem.

Great atmosphere and love food, always try to visit when in Worthing.

All round the best cafe I've visited in quite some time. The food is fantastic and cannot be faulted. Staff are so lovely and i can recommend for anyone.

Was my first time in the cafe and it was amazing. Greeted by the most friendly family the interior is amazing and the most was INCREDIBLE best pancakes I’ve ever had. Xx

Had the highly acclaimed pancakes and was not disappointed. Cracking food and good service

Me encantó el sitio. Tanto las tostas como los pankakes estaban muy buenos, aunque este último plato quizá un poco seco para mi gusto. No recomiendo el café pero si el té.

Lovely food but very pricey, and they added a service charge for a table of 4 which bumped the price per person from £13 to £18! Total bill for 1 breakfast and 3 pancakes was £74! Literally airport prices!

Well above average breakfast, if not a little expensive. Nearly £32 for 2 x English Breakfasts and two teas. The food was stunning though.

We had lunch here, a hot dog was very tasty and my salad was colourful, varied and original. Loved it!

The best pancakes in the UK! Amazing fresh food and the most helpful and friendly staff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My nan says the best bacon sandwich she’s ever eaten she had here, if she loves it you will too 🫵😁

Fantastic food and brilliant service, wonderful team of staff and food selection is amazing. I would definitely recommend to all my friends and family.

Haven’t even visited here. Tried to book a table online. Which if your try is impossible as can’t see what your typing. The payment process is difficult - so please review this it makes booking impossible. No telephone number to call. And I saw that for the 2 of us to go it’s £40 reservation charge!! What!! Not recommended

Staff friendly and helpful, food fair to middling. Atmosphere pleasant. Paid parking is in the multistorey across the road. Otherwise, pedestrian access.

I have just had the most upsetting experience experience without even visiting this place for the first time. I booked the cafe on the recommendation of some friends who go regularly. So first of all I cannot comment on the food at all. I will be honest and say that this mistake was mine but the way it has been dealt with is heartbreaking. I booked a table for what I thought was for tomorrow, In error It appeared I had booked it for today. I had a call from a lady (not the warmest person to speak with) saying I was half an hour late. I apologised and said that I was extremely sorry and I had meant to book it for tomorrow. Her response quite bluntly said ‘well im very sorry but we will now have to charge you £40 for a no show’. She said that she had to turn customers away and for that I am very sorry, I wouldn’t have done this intentionally. I did ask if we could still come tomorrow and suggested that £40 came off of our bill. The answer was NO. I believe that if customers were turned away then customers more than likely will have filled our table today as she explained they were extremely busy. I am just in total disbelief that the business wouldn’t try to understand this was an honest mistake and allow us to visit tomorrow, still take the £40 and take this off of our bill. Money is so tight at the moment, I’m visiting the area (my old home town) and I was so looking forward to visiting this cafe with friends. The result of this has left me teary and has completely ruined my day. Gutted by the whole experience and as a result I won’t see foot in the door now which is such a shame. I’m sorry that this is how you chose to treat people (honest people) during such difficult times who wanted to come and spend money at your business.

I always come here if I'm in worthing on my own and need some lunch! Today I had an incredible satay salad bowl, I don't think I've ever had blueberries and raspberries with salad and rice before, it was delicious! Staff are always super friendly and responsive, I never feel weird about being on my own there!

Best vegan pancakes and amazing vegan choices in general!

I came here with my sister recently, I have been before with my children. Service was fantastic 👏 the lady couldn't have been more nicer. I had a chai latte and the spiced biscuit pancakes, I was a little disappointed with my drink as all it tasted like was milk, such a shame as I was really looking forward to it, and to have paid £3 for it also was a little disappointing. The pancakes were absolutely amazing, although I would like to suggest maybe not put the spread inside each pancake, it was very sickly after. But overall I had a lovely morning and would definitely come again. Thank you.

Only popped in for a drink but would definitely go back

Generous serving of pancakes! But syrup was not enough for 2 big pancakes, so it will be bit dry after. Might be good to have some option for a cream or ice cream to make it bit moist on it if syrup will not be enough. Dunno not a food expert tho, haha We love the milkshakes. We did book in advance to make sure we got a table. They also offer vegan/ vegetarian foods here

What a great place to enjoy Ur bday with a lovely breakfast & popular hot chocolate. A random decision based on Google search. You can walk in or reserve your seats. A beautifully decorated place, very polite and courteous staff, quick service and great food with lovely ambience. Come solo, or with your partner or a colleague and enjoy the food. Great breakfast variety, must go for hot chocolate.

Only popped in for a drink between shops and so glad I did. The hot chocolate was made with real chocolate and the marshmallows were roasted! Amazing! I want to go back to try the food now!

Best place I've had a breakfast in. Amazing choice from full English, American, vegetarian and vegan. Outstanding!!

If you like pancakes, this is the place for you. However, they do nice omelettes as well.

Had a really lovely brunch at The Orchard Cafe yesterday. The staff were pleasant & polite. The food came out fairly quickly, very generous portions, lovely presentation & food was delicious & fresh. It's slightly more expensive than other cafes, but thought it was good value for the portion sizes & fresh, good quality ingredients. Something to be aware of is that all the chairs & benches are really hard, but thankfully there are a few cushions & so I used one to sit on. I have chronic pain & numerous spinal problems, so unfortunately if they didn't have cushions I wouldn't of been able to stay there, so something for others to be aware of if they wouldn't be comfortable on hard seats too

Honestly smashing. Had some really nice coffee, options of both sugar free and regular syrups and loads of alternative milks. Also had some water brought to us without asking. My partner and I ordered pancakes and a full english and they arrived in good time and STILL got a “sorry for the wait”! Food was gorgeous, and the ingredients obviously had some care when being picked and cooked. Lots of options available too. Payment was easy too and staff were very friendly! Everyone should try here at least once. Definitely a find!

Great food, especially for Vegan and Gluten Free. Staff are excellent, friendly and knowledgeable. The pancakes are amazing.

First time I've visited this cafe, definitely won't be the last. Pancakes are the best I've ever had. I had the elvis, which was amazing. Friendly and attentive service.

Amazing food, friendly service, will definitely go back. Recommend the elvis pancakes.

Always great for a quick casual breakfast in the town centre, always fresh and tasty and not greasy! Friendly service too!

A bit on the pricey side but one of the best pancakes in Worthing👍

We came for brunch today with my 1 year old son and the service was amazing! The staff were super friendly and even when my son was making a bit of a fuss they came over with a fun toy to distract him! The food was so lovely and great value for money. Would definitely recommend :)

After recently discovering this has now become our favourite treat location to eat. Amazing tasting, and presented food. Went for my usual of spiced biscuits pancakes which as per usual are mind blowing good. My partner had the new breakfast burger which he has now ranked as his favourite burger of all time ! Highly recommended!!

Our favourite cafe! Delicious food and plenty of vegan choices❤️

Was amazing everything was so lovely 😍

Absolutely love The Orchard they have the best breakfasts made by lovely staff! Always such a pleasure!

Great food, great atmosphere and lovely staff. I highly recommend this place, one of the best in town and has been for a number of years.

Very nice and cozy place to come to eat food. All ingredients are good quality. Have homemade cakes and savouries on the day.Offer gf and vegan options. Staff are very friendly. I would recommend book ahead as it's quite popular and get full easily

Delicious and you can book tables too!!!

Amazing breakfast and staff what a find the best

Excellent food and coffee. Booked on the reviews and was definitely as described. Food Excellent quality and service with a genuine smile and intention. Definitely book as it was very busy with bookings and only 1 table free when we were there. Highly recommended

Our first visit today after being recommended by family. Excellent breakfast,the food was cooked superbly, excellent produce. The pancakes were very popular and looked delicious. Very attentive and friendly staff. Will definitely return,and highly recommend.

I've been coming here on and off for many a year now visiting for lunch with my elderly mum. My mum complains about everything, all the time, but has never said anything negative about The Orchard Cafe, so that says something in itself. I opted for the Orchard potatoes with added bacon, whilst mum mum went for fresh pancakes. Mum said they were delicious, and enjoyed her Americano. As always, my potatoes were spot on. I had a mocha, and they are slightly on the bitter side, but I like them like that sometimes. Service is always friendly and polite, whilst it is always really clean. Food is always very good with pricing reasonable.

We had a lovely experience on such a hot day. Despite the heat, all the staff were very attentive and we had icy water given to us as soon as we sat down. Really impressed by the service and the food was lovely too.

Good selection of breakfasts at reasonable prices. The food was very tasty, plentiful and we'll presented. Staff are very friendly, helpful and efficient. Although a small cafe, it's always full, with a happy, buzzing atmosphere and welcoming decor. We park in Waitrose car park and walk down as parking is an issue.

Great cafe. Food was tasty with generous portions. Fast and efficient service. Really nice vibe to the place too. Will definitely return! Thanks 👍

Great cafe, lovely service and brilliant food . Can never seem to veer away from the omelettes as they’re so good but everything coming out of the kitchen looks equally good. Love it here!

We had a lovely breakfast this morning here, thoroughly enjoyed it. This 5 star is for service, food, standard, atmosphere, and the Americano!

Delightful eatery with super lovely staff. We all had a great breakfast with so much choice to suit all tastes. Great milkshakes!!! Can highly recommend.

Such a nice vibe! Staff were lovely, good music and good space. Food was amazing! Would recommend highly!

I would first like to start out by saying that this is a gorgeous little cafe, with very friendly staff and great options for everyone. I have been eating at The Orchard for a couple of years, and have loved it. I am plant-based, and have always found their vegan options to be brilliant! However, last week I accidentally ate meat for the first time in 6 years due to fault of the chef. Twice in a row, I have visited and ordered a (vegan) seitan Reuben sandwich, and have been served the real-meat version instead, which I believe contains corned beef traditionally. Luckily for me, the first time this happened, the waitress noticed before I could even eat any, and they replaced it quickly. I understand these things do happen, and am a big believer in second chances, so I went back recently. I ordered the same sandwich, and took 3 mouthfuls before realising something tasted unfamiliar, so I checked inside and found real meat. I was devastated when I realised, and so was the waitress and manager. The manager refunded our total bill, and was incredibly apologetic and mortified that it had happened. I know this wasn't any fault of the front-of-house staff - they listened carefully. I feel like I can't go back, unfortunately, as I can't risk eating meat again. And I'm really sad that's the case, because this was one of my favourite spots to eat and I'll miss it so, so much!! I hate to rate a small business poorly, but I really felt I needed to warn any non-meat eaters, as I can only imagine how much more devastating it would be if this happened to someone that gave up meat for religious or allergy-reasons. If you eat meat then there's no need to worry, as this place is fantastic otherwise. If the cafe replaces their chef then I would love to come back one day... :-(

Went twice during a short stay. I normally like to check out different places in a town I don't know, but The Orchard was so good on the first day that we took more people there the day after.

We have been here previously on a Sunday morning without booking. Realised we were lucky last time so booked for today! Hard to find somewhere open on a Sunday and at 0900. Ordered the regular breakfast with no beans and extra mushrooms. MASSIVE pile of...

Amazing food, best pancakes ever, and the regular English brekkie was nice too (I wanted both!) Good service too. Fully recommend

Amazing breakfast! We had the chocolate brownie milkshake, Lotus milkshake, Fruity Pancakes and Smashed Avocado with Salmon and Scrambled egg. Perfect! So delicious. Thank you for excellent service!

Fabulous welcome, lovely environment and food outstanding. Will return

We had a brilliant hangover breakfast here. Our servers were so welcoming and friendly and I had a hard time choosing what to have because there were so many vegan options! In the end I had the vegan fry up style breakfast and my partner had American style pancakes. The food was delicious (I could eat an entire bucket of those mushrooms!) and so was the coffee. It definitely lived up to all the positive reviews and eased our hangovers considerably! Next time we’re in town we’ll definitely pop in again. Keep up the great work!

Went with family including a toddler, great attentive and friendly service and good choice of dishes - especially great that the breakfast options are available all day. Saw the salad bowls on the next table and it did look amazing but I was glad I...

Amazing, absolutely amazing. The whole experience from walking in the door to leaving was a throughly enjoyable. I ordered the orchard breakfast and my partner had the banana pancake (swapped the banana out for strawberries). The wait time for food was minimal and the quality of food was excellent! The wait staff were unbelievably friendly and explained the menu very well. There was pretty much a replacement option for vegan on almost every meal. Also all the menu options are all available all day. All round a very pleasant experience. I would highly recommend the orchard for any time of the day. It can be quite busy so a booking is recommended, we managed to squeeze in without one but we quickly noticed many people had pre-booked.

Very cozy inside. Friendly staff and really good food. Worth a visit

Always friendly, good service. Fairly priced and quick, with great vegan and veggie options, just wish it was open more often!
