Trading Post Coffee Roasters in Chichester

The coffee here is lovely.. We were going to buy some chocolate tarts but there were many tiny black flies on them. We told the barista who said that the managers knew this was happening, kept the goods on sale and the flies were worse in the summer. This has dampened our enthusiasm for a previously favourite place.

2 sausages, mushrooms and beans - £15 nothing else no drink I love to support the independent business, but that is too much, I left without breakfast

Came here on my own! Lots of choices on the menu! The team were very friendly and the food was great. Highly recommend if your in Chichester.

Parece el lugar para ir desde el exterior para una experiencia de café. El café al que renunciaron era horrible y sabía amargo y servía caliente. Hay abundancia, de hecho demasiadas cafeterías en Chichester y yo hemos tomado mucho mejor café en Greggs y Weatherspoons!

Servicio muy lento: mi café estaba frío para cuando llegó el bocadillo tostado. El jugo de naranja no se mantiene refrigerado y estaba apagado. Me dieron un segundo vaso, el mismo problema. El café es promedio en el mejor de los casos. Y el pan tostado de jamón y queso era muy suave. Un montón de personal, todos charlando entre sí en lugar de prestar atención a los clientes. No volveré aquí de nuevo.

Unacceptable delay in coffee, I suspect they had forgotten! Have been regulars, but this experience is probably going to make us try one of the many other options in town.

My favourite coffee shop to visit when in Chichester. The coffee is always how i like it and the staff are more then happy to accommodate to your needs. The food is great with choices for everyone. The staff are super friendly and always serve with a smile, even on busy days. I would totally recommend if you are passing by on a day visit or looking to try something new.

Lovely outdoor dining space upstairs, great food and really lovely coffee. We enjoyed it all and would definitely recommend this place

Sadly we will never go again Ordered our coffees and toasts It was not busy well under half full. Our toasts came they were poor 2/10. 35 minutes later still no coffee. When we asked about our coffee the girl behind till said They are done in order to which I said 7 people after us have had theirs. She said we always serve take away first. But take a ways pay less. We pay more to sit done At this point a waitress was totally rude. She took being rude to a whole new level We have told all our friend of our experience. And they will not go either and I when asked about a nice coffee shop in Chichester I will say avoid this coffee shop

I recently met a close friend at this café in Chichester and wow, what a little gem! It seems to be very popular with the locals, and I can see why. The interior is visually pleasing, and the staff are incredibly welcoming. We came for breakfast, and the coffee exceeded my expectations! Typically, you have to visit an artisan coffee shop to get coffee of this quality. The pastries were also delicious. I wish I could have stayed all day. I will definitely come back!

Love this place, excellent staff - very friendly and welcoming, couldn’t do enough for us Great coffee and nice vibe Definitely recommend

Came here for coffee and a pastry, both of which were lovely. The whole atmosphere is nice and especially liked the terrace which was peaceful in the morning. Staff were lovely too

The coffee is always great and the coffee art is amazing. The team are so friendly as well. I come in everyday for a Flat White, on a hot day I get an iced Matcha Latte. I haven't tried the food, however all the food on the counter always looks so good.

Nicely decorated and clean. Came very early as staff were setting up. Prices on the high side but food was nice and coffee was hot

Sunday morning breakfast , early so wasn’t too busy. Food took ages to come out and my bacon sandwich (£9.95) was freezing cold , bacon was frazzled and snapped into pieces butter didn’t melt it was that cold Bread hard too was like eating a flip flop , so dry! Coffee was nice hence the 3* Would not return

Popped in on spec and was enormously impressed by the great range of coffees on offer. It actually took me a while to choose my brew but the flat white I ordered was one of the best I’ve ever had.

Slow service, the girl who took our order was sweet but seemed slightly overwhelmed in spite of the fact that the place wasn’t full. The food (Caesar salad and avocado and bacon Benedict, and millionaires shortbread) was actually pretty good, but it took a while to arrive. Nice tea, too, but one dirty cup (had it even been washed??) and the cutlery wasn’t great, either, both were replaced with good grace. And, what’s really annoying, the place is ‘cashless’. There are at least four banks within moments from the place. By refusing to take cash, you are contributing to its disappearance. I’m sure your customers can deal with handling the occasional twenty pound note.

This is one of the very few cafés that has remained dog-free. I am so glad I can have a drink without being bothered by dogs and their owners who seem to be intent on taking over the world.

Early lunch on a Saturday is very busy time with a long queue. However, in the café style of service, find yourself a table, look at the menus and select your choices, go to the order station and pay before receiving food. A numbered paper coffee cup given to you after payment and placed on your table assists the serving staff to locate you. The rooms are bare of sound proofing, with faux greenery and tables are not dressed. Cutlery is in wooden holders on the table but had to request black pepper shaker. The food is not your run of the mill greasy spoon café. The website has details of various menus, including for children. A variety of coffees are available being roasted on the premises by a Giesen coffee roaster thus having freshest roasted coffee. The crockery is heavy, clunky and noisy when moved adding to confusion of noise. A very pleasant and helpful service. Recommend it, but will visit it during the quieter period. Avoid tables near the entrance as on a cold day it is cooler there.

The trading post was the perfect venue for our private birthday party, the staff were so accommodating and made the place look beautiful for the evening. The service was amazing and the drinks were delicious. Love coming here!

I last came for breakfast with a friend and a lovely lady called Rosie made me one of the best coffees I've had! Delicious sausage sandwich, will come back to try the rest of the menu

This is a lovely cafe with really nice staff. The interior design is so warm and lovely. I'll come back again definitely.

Trading Post boasts an impressive variety of unique blends of coffee, delicious pastries and cakes..

Trading Post Coffee Roasters in Chichester became my go to place for breakfast over four days at the end of October. My first attempts to find a place for breakfast in town were foiled before I found Trading Post. One big plus was that this café opened at 7:30am. Great I didn't have to wait so late into the morning to get breakfast. First day I tried their English Breakfast and was pleased. The other three mornings was buttered toast and jam with Cumberland sausage. Again also very nice. Tried my first halloumi, a cheese new to me. Cappuccino was always good. The staff was tops, very pleasant to talk to over these four days. Orders were always correct and arrived quickly.

Zach makes an amazing coffee with beautiful latte art. Cozy vibes and very clean place, plenty of seating and options to chose from

My favourite coffee shop in Chi, staff are so friendly and lovely, coffee is so good (and a lot of great blends you can chose from so makes your cup personal to you) and great food. Love coming in here to read my book or take friends. Rosie served us our coffee with a welcoming smile and was very helpful! Will definitely come back here again!

Every time I come to trading post the service always matches the beautiful coffee. Coffee always served piping hot and beautifully crafted no matter what you go for!

Poor coffee. Ordered extra hot coffee for my wife and was assured by the person who served us that this was possible. It arrived luke warm. Took it back and when second cup arrived still luke warm. Pathetic excuse from manager that this was all he could do. Refused refund even though his staff had not delivered what I ordered. Had intended to lunch there too but prices ludicrously high. Two men came in whilst we were there and sat at table next to us. The scanned the menu and walked out. There is an abundance of coffee houses in Chichester so why use this place ?

Despite this establishment having its trials and tribulations in the past few months, with what appeared to be a management changeover and a change in staff, it seems the coffee shop is getting back to its lively self with the buzz that’s been lacking the...

I’m really sad to write this as I have loved this place since it opened and I hope you sort out your issues. For the second week in a row I had scrambled eggs on toast and for the second week you had no tomatoes...

Met a colleague for lunch and discovered that there’s a trading post in Chichester! I love their coffee and can’t get enough of their chilli bowl. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Chichester

Unfortunately, not a good visit again. The tea served was like water. I had to ask a waitress to put more tea in the tea pot. The banana bread was very stale and had a strange metallic taste. We didn't eat it. The coffee was...

Best coffee shop in town: excellent coffee, great music, very friendly and always helpful staff, nothing is too much trouble for them, and nice decor. Toilets are always mega clean which is a plus. It'd be great if there was free internet but I believe...

Absolutely disgraceful visit. Took 25 minutes to get a coffee and tea! We didn’t know why and there was no explanation as to a possible wait when we placed the order. Spoke to the supervisor about how dreadful the service was. She said she would...

Six staff and the pace was empty waited 20 minutes for coffee chased twice . Told me they forgot . Coffee cold unbelievable. Was has happened to this place . Won’t return

Daisy our waitress was very knowledgeable and passionate about us having a great coffee experience. She took the time to find out our preferences and delivered our coffee spot on! A credit to the company! We will definitely be returning, not just for the coffee...

We all enjoyed our lunch, food was lovely as was the coffee. Daisy who served us was super efficient & friendly made us all feel really welcome. We will definitely return. 😀

I was looking to sit down for a coffee in Chichester, so popped into Trading Post and it was a great choice. My server, Daisy, was so welcoming, super friendly and helped me chose a coffee blend (and took the time to explain them to...

Cool place with good decor and a cool vibe. Greeted with a friendly smile and a warm welcome. Service was quick considering my order was freshly made and the waitress, Daisy, was lovely. She even checked on me later and had a quick chat as...

Very poor quality of food was served this time around, which was very disappointing. The portions were very small, actually tiny and not value for money (not a cheap menu), especially the egg smash avocado on toast! The poached eggs served were under cooked and...

Fantastic spot in Chi. Coffee and hot chocolate were great. Mary, on the till was amazing and the food looked great. Heading back to eat soon.

Great experience :) fast service and the server Max made a banging Strawberry and banana Smoothie. Will definitely be back again!

I came down here for my mates birthday after hearing great reviews about the brunch! I must say, I wasn’t disappointed. The poached eggs were perfect and my friend who’s birthday it was had the full English and really enjoyed it. The server Daisy was...

My husband and I do childfree ‘date morning’ here every Saturday. Up until recently, staff have been brilliant and excellent coffee and food. However, suddenly, all staff changed - and food with it. We’ve returned several items for the first time ever but stuck with...

I would not recommend this place.three attempts at making coffee.they also tried to overcharge my husband.awful

Lovely brunch today with friends. Really glad we found a nice independent cafe. My scrambled eggs on sourdough was perfect and I was sooo tempted by the cakes and pastries. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff.

This was a place I liked to eat but my last visit two weekends ago has completely put me off returning. We were told our food would take 15-20 mins which is normal waiting time whenever we visit. However, when you’ve been waiting 30mins and...

breakfast not as good as before chief keep running his hands though his hair not washing his hand before touching food really put me off

My son offered to take us all for breakfast this weekend. They were very busy and did apologise in advance for the wait we were likely to experience. We didn’t mind waiting as my son was so complimentary after a previous visit we thought worth...

We ‘discovered’ Trading Post today, by accident.(we rarely venture into South Street.) We’re glad we did. The food is superb, my wife waxed lyrical about the Smashed Avocado and Egg on Sourdough. My Classic Rarebit was a step beyond. The service was very friendly. The...

Came here for a reunion with a friend, really enjoyed the coffee. We were there on a weekend, I recommend coming in earlier than the big lunch rush as it was super busy and they had to stop serving food at one point! My poached...

We thought we’d try a new coffee house to us, the outside looked inviting and it raised our expectations of a really good coffee. Inside was fairly chaotic and I waited in line for 10 minutes before ordering our drinks. The young lady serving was...

Cafe/Coffee shop located in South Street in centre of Chichester ..lots of local car parks. There a high number of cafes in Chichester but this is one of the best in terms of food quality and coffee, breakfast menu is really good but much sure...

Lovely decor and coffee is good slight mix up with the order but it was sorted out quickly. It’s always busy which is a good sign

We have been here several times for breakfast and the food has always been delicious. The food is well presented and comes quickly and hot. The cafe is beautifully decorated and it is a firm favourite. A great place to come for a relaxed breakfast...

I absolutely LOVE trading post! It is my go-to place for breakfast, brunch, coffee & lunch while in Chichester! Food is always 10/10, service 10/10 and value for money 10/10. Always a lovely atmosphere, smiley staff and beautiful decor. I had a great chat with...

I've been in for food and coffee a couple of times now and both have always been delicious. The staff are friendly and helpful and the space is beautiful and cosy. I'll definitely be back to try their Christmas espresso!

We often go here for breakfast and today we went and it was not the same and will think again before revisiting . Ordered our usual breakfast and coffee and was asked whether we were upstairs or downstairs and we replied downstairs even though air...

Best coffee of our travels- came everyday we were here. Food and staff are great too, but after 2 weeks of terrible coffee across France and UK - this was an amazing find!

My wife ordered whilst I located a table. It had not been cleared and we had to request for someone to do so. My bacon and Brie bagel was stale to the point that it was almost impossible to chew. I witnessed people on the...

Bitter luke warm coffee. Asked for hot water and wasn’t much better. I know water for coffee not supposed to be boiling but really. Plenty of other places around

We did not enjoy our time with friends in the Trading Post unfortunately due to the very loud music which resulted in it being hard to converse with one another. We felt relieved once we had left the premises. Sadly probably won’t return as it...

Popped in for a coffee whilst the wife was shopping for shoes and clothes, let’s just say my wife had finished shopping before my coffee even appeared on my table. Over 10mins for a coffee takes the mick! Not busy a few customers, probably more...

We can't remember the last time we had croque monsieur's this great. Hot, tasty and very big portion sizes. We visited the previous day for coffee and had a good experience and returned the next day for these tasty croque monsieur's. The staff were friendly...

I visited with my mum recently and the whole experience was absolutely appalling! Mainly the staff. We were invited back for a breakfast and so we went today - I wasn’t expecting much to be honest. However, the second we walked through the door it...

This would have been a 5 star review had the staff dealt with my issue competently. I visited with my daughter yesterday for breakfast after being recommended here. Everything was lovely when we arrived. We ordered one vegetarian breakfast and one full English on with...

Don’t bother £5 for a piece of cake! Add to that being over charged and then met with rude staff when I questioned this. Do yourself a favour and go elsewhere as this will be a total disappointment on all levels. One star is too...

My daughter and I take brunch here at least once every month. The food is always excellent, fantastic fresh coffee and very friendly staff. Highly recommend a visit, you won’t be disappointed !

Excellent Coffee served in a very nicely designed and fitted out building. Really keen informative helpful friendly staff offering a selection of quality coffees and sensible prices. A very well thought environment, comfortable and different without being kitch or over the top.

Amazing breakfast 😋 and fab staff, popped in whilst car being serviced. Hubby had full English and I had bacon and avocado 🥑 breakfast.

Coffee was great Order breakfast with out eggs as can't eat them chief put eggs on waitress had told him no eggs he tried just to take off eggs ( scrambled) and give it to me I said no thanks left as had already wait...

Consistently good - great service and fab food, and the coffee is excellent. I love that you can choose the blend. My husband & I visit often, and both our teen daughters really enjoy the food and atmosphere here, too. A big thank you to...

Tasted nice but total rip off. I couldn’t find the rainbow all I could find was green and some Almonds - definitely no pot at the end of it. Not the same place. Won’t be back

Came here for breakfast whilst on a minibreak with friends. Good choice of breakfasts, freshly cooked. Delicious coffee too. Welcoming, cheerful staff who were helpful and efficient. Responded to any requests. Would highly recommend. Many thanks.

This is not my first experience with this coffee shop. I must express this only applies to the front of house staff, who repeatedly provide appalling customer service. for someone who only has 30 minutes lunch break, to have it wasted on multiple occasions is...

Had breakfast with my daughter. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. They were helpful in their knowledge and advice of the coffees. Had a bacon sandwich the portion was a good size and kept me going most of the day. Plenty of bacon in the...

Great food, quick service, friendly staff, nice environment. Gf vegan options, which I find a lot of places struggle with, so very happy with this little find! All reasonably priced, lots of choice... will definitely be back!

I had the Ethiopian coffee that was on the Specials Board. Simply the best cup of coffee I have had in the UK for many a long year.

Great place for coffee, they know their stuff. Plus they roast their own coffee in store! Got to meet their coffee roaster Willow who seriously knows his stuff. Gave us some great advice and we even bought some to us at home & are thoroughly...

We visited coffee roasters whilst shopping in chichester, i was impressed with the decor and menu, the selection of coffee was really good and all the staff were helpful and all smiling, i ordered eggs benedict with a coffee, the food was really well presented,...

I do not often write reviews, however we have visited several times now and every time the food and coffee have been to die for! The cafe itself is inviting with great decor and there are plenty of tables with upstairs and downstairs seating areas....

This proved a cosy pitstop for a late afternoon tea before a journey back to London. Although judging from the iconic roasting machine exhibited just inside the entrance and the impressive espresso machines at the counter this is a something of a temple to coffee,...

Wow! What an amazing find this was. We visit Chichester every few months and now and again stay for lunch. This is no ordinary coffee shop. The choice of blends was outstanding. So much more than you find at the generic shops. We sat downstairs...

Came here with my husband and 2 daughters (2 & 3 years old) and had a wonderful breakfast! The kids loved the Nutella pancakes and the adult menu is great with lots of delicious options. Will definitely be back!

Absolutely rate this cafe stopped by a couple of times for coffee (highly rate the options of blends and their milk alternative range) but today tried their food. Delightful stuff and lots of veggie/ vegan options which is a necessity for me and my friend....

Such excellent fresh coffee and choice of milks. Although downstairs is small there is a wonderful upstairs area with plenty of space. I love having a choice of blends too so depends on time of day what I choose. The staff are really friendly and...

Really nice coffee shop with a relaxed atmosphere. Staff were very knowledgeable and talked us through the different types of coffees. I will definitely revisit.

Visited Wednesday evening! Completely empty inside and I know why! I feel completely robbed how can anywhere charge £18 for 1 hot chocolate, bottle of coke and 2 traybakes to takeaway. To make matters worst I drunk my hot chocolate before I even got past...

Coffee shop/restaurant located in centre of Chichester a few minutes walk from the cathedral. Coffee roaster actually set up and working as you enter the place with own brand/roasted coffee. Green Monkey variety was particularly good. Really nice menu of snacks and seriously substantial sandwich’s...
