Victoria's Sponge in Horsham

Pleasant surroundings and food. The best service I have come across for a long time - very polite, helpful and more. Many establishments have much to learn from the two young ladies who were serving today - even much more upmarket places. Recommended.

Had a delicious cream tea here. Super friendly and attentive staff and a lovely environment!

Visited 1:30 Saturday. Lucy ( I think that was her name ) had a busy cafe and all by herself. Food and drinks were all superb and she worked very hard with a smile and even made time somehow to chat and make people welcome. She was faultless.

We came here as a family. It was lovely. The food is fantastic and comes really fast.

The cake is amazing, staff are great and I love the decorations. A must-go for café lovers!

Excellent coffee and many wonderful cakes. Highly recommend.

Lovely little gem of a coffee shop, cannot rate it high enough. My visits are always a pleasure, great staff and atmosphere. The food is fresh and tasty especially the delicious cakes. We'll done Victoria Sponge!!

Red velvet cake and the pineapple smoothie still has a frozen mango chunk in it also the red velvet cake was the worst red velvet cake I’ve ever had in my life to be honest I’d rather go to a costa then here. However the flowers in the shop are lovely and so are the staff x

Absolutely lovely in every way! I took my Mum here for a birthday treat - we've never been to this cafe before, but I mentioned to them on booking a table that it was my Mum's birthday. The table was decorated, plus above the table from the ceiling! The service was exceptional, both waitresses were so kind and gave Mum a couple of little treats as well, which really made her day and was such a lovely and kind surprise. The food was delicious too. Thank you so much! Can only recommend to all :)

Lovely friendly staff. Disappointed there was only one piece of vegan cake after reading great reviews of the place. The cake was tasty albeit a little heavy being chocolate cake. Hot chocolate was very good. Great atmosphere and lovely setting.

The lemon and elderberry cake is amazing 👏

Both fabulous and amazing. Recommended. Good coffee and cakes.

We discovered this lovely little tea house on Sunday, it's absolutely smashing, the young lady could not of been more helpful and charming. We had a lovely welcome and there was a wide range of cakes etc. Blue badge parking right outside. We WILL be back !

Lovely warm and friendly staff. Decent coffee and amazing cakes. Dog friendly as well

What a wonderful staff member. She was superb! The Sunday girl.

My friend and I had a lovely lunch at Victoria’s Sponge. The lady who served us (I didn’t catch her name, but she had purple hair!) was amazing. The cafe was so busy but our drinks, food and cake were amazing and her service remained fantastic despite being the only member of staff working. Lots of vegan options including almost all sandwiches available as vegan and a vegan cake too! Would definitely recommend.

A lovely spot for a pot of tea and toast. Delicious oat milk cappuccino! Thank you to Lucy, who made us feel ever so welcome. We will be back the next time we pass through Steyning

A super cafe! The staff are absolutely lovely and very efficient, and the coffee is perfect. Dog friendly and a nice atmosphere. We will definitely come here again!

Had the Rose and pistachio cake. It was sublime 😍

Traditional tea room privately run which caters for vegans - plant based milks and cakes Good, friendly service

Best coffee I've ever had. Cake lovely sandwiches looked nice but not tried yet. And kids hot chocolate came out at the perfect temp for them to drink

Very friendly staff, and very nicely presented food that tasted great too.

Great Cafe, vegan cake friendly staff

Pretty cafe, delicious cakes and lovely owner. Love the different choices of cakes and the pretty decor!

What a pleasant surprise. Popped in for refreshments during a bike ride and happened to mention my friends birthday. Lovely touch bringing out shortbread with a candle. Thank you so much it was greatly appreciated.

Warm welcome 15 mins to closing time to help us get a quick cake fix. Delicious coffee cake. Lovely spot!

We discovered Victoria's today at the bottom of Steyning High Street and will definitely be returning on a regular basis to try more of the delicious cakes and sandwiches. The cappuccino and hot chocolate were excellent too and we were made so welcome. The whole place had a lovely warm and friendly atmosphere. Thank you! (Chris and Jan, from Ashington)

Friendly and pleasant staff and lovely cakes.

Such friendly service! A great little tea room with lovely food and vegan and GF options.

Always a friendly welcome and the freshly baked cake is fantastic.

Visited here on Saturday afternoon for tea and scones. What a find! First thing is how amazing the place looks, even the light shades have been carefully considered. Very welcoming and quick service even though the place was busy/full. The cups for tea are really nice, and then the scones were so good and also a very decent size. More than enough accompanying jam and clotted cream to go with them. I wanted to get a slice of cake too, however, I knew my limits! Will definitely be back though as others around were enjoying cake and other bits from the menu so feel like we need to try them too. Great that dogs are welcome too. So pleased we found this place.

Enjoyable scrummy birthday lunch today at Victoria's sponge of grilled Chicken salad and slice of gluten free Chocolate and raspberry cake ( so light and tasty) in the pretty surrounds. Great customer service too. Would highly recommend the cafe to anyone wanting a snack or lunch .

Fantastic cakes and wonderful lady who runs the shop.Recently had a Birthday cake made and it was fantastic. Highly recommend this establishment

I love this place, the cakes are amazing and the service of great, Victoria is always very nice and friendly.

Fabulous food and great customer service, highly recommended. Will definitely return!

I recently went to Victorias for lunch and it was delicious! The sandwiches were yummy with a great selection on offer. I was so pleased with my lunch I decided to have some cake for pudding. I had the cappucino cake and it was really delicious. The coffee was also very tasty. Victoria herself was so friendly, warm and welcoming to my family, including my two children. We will be back very soon.

Delicious gluten free, dairy free cake and coffee, very friendly, lovely place

Please don’t go here and have sandwiches - all ingredients are cheap and come from the coop up the road. Tasteless and horrible. And then they charge you £7.50 which is incredibly over priced. Been to so many places that charge less than that but have good produce. Can’t express how bad this was. Really not happy with my experience there

Cozy friendly place with good coffee and delicious cakes. Dog friendly as well

Came across this small cafe in Steyning by chance. Really enjoyed the simple toasted sandwiches of, chicken with avocado and tuna with avocado, both in wholemeal bread and came a small small salad serving. Choice was off menu and was no problem at the set price. We didn't look at the salad choice, but when we saw the generous bowl served to another customer, we were envious. The coffee was the most delicious we had tasted in an age. Just had to have a second cup. There was a regular queue for takeaway. The delicious homemade cakes we have left until the next time. Thanks for the all round hospitality x

Visited Victoria's Sponge a few times. Victoria (yes that is her name!) always has time for a smile and a chat. The drinks beautifully served in a range of eclectic crockery. The sponges and cakes are out of this world. Also good range of light meals.

Coffee ok plenty of cakes to choose from

So friendly. Great coffee, tasty cake. Thoroughly recommended.

Not one for reviews normally, but after popping in for some breakfast passing through the village, me and my partner were not disappointed. Coffe was perfect, scrambled egg on toast was lovely and the cake went down very well too, such a lovely little place and super polite. hopefully will be back soon!!

The most wonderful cake creations; favourites plus delightfully new creations each time. It's so hard to choose, many a time you have on slice to eat there and one slice to take home.

Fantastic tea room. And the best variety of home made vegan etc cakes

Always lovely service, coffee and cakes.

We go here every weekend. The cake is the best I've had in the area and possibly anywhere. Even the gluten-free cakes are super good. The owner, Victoria, is the best - so friendly and skilled at running her lovely little business!

Gorgeous food. Cakes are really moist and beautifully made. The owner is super friendly and can't do enough for you. My husband is disabled but he was able to get his powered wheelchair in with our small portable ramp which was no problem for her. Can definitely recommend.

Delicious cakes and sandwiches, great atmosphere.

Lovely place with the most amazing home made cake

Good coffee great cakes and helpful & polite staff.

Really nice cake and a good range of coffee including decaf options.

Great soya cappuccino and 3 choices of delicious Vegan cake. Dog friendly too. So good we returned the next morning.

Great selection of cakes when we visited on a Sunday afternoon. The banana and custard cake was really good. Nice to support a small independent business.

Made very welcome by the owner. Fabulous range of cakes and shakes, many gluten free. Will definitely be going back!

An amazing little gem of a cafe. I am always in awe of people who manage to run little cafes well. I stopped there as a stop on a cycle and the lady running it couldn't of been more friendly and helpful. I had a great flat white and some incredible teacakes with marmalade. If you are in Steyning and they have a space for you, pop in!

Had a lovely chickpea salad and rose lemonade, and they are dog friendly so didn't have to sit outside in the heat.

This is a lovely and incredible place with a fantastic selection of delicious cakes. An equally lovely feel to it. Victoria and her staff make you very welcome and create a really nice atmosphere. A diamond of a place. Thank you Victoria for all the time and effort you put into it.

The food was fresh and tasty, very friendly customer service.

Lovely owner and delightful food and service. Thank you Victoria.

Brilliant cakes very friendly atmosphere

Hands down the best place to eat in Steyning, if not West Sussex. Delicious salads and sandwiches and beautiful, sumptuous cakes. Very generous portions. But the thing that made our visit to Victoria's Sponge so outstanding is the service. We arrived on a busy, rainy Sunday with several grumpy children (never the most welcome guests!) and we were treated with such care and thought. Really wonderful personal touches such as the children's food being healthy and arriving before the adults, and extra free babycinnos. Can't recommend highly enough. Will be top on our list to visit when we come to Steyning again.

Fantastic coffee & cake with really friendly service. Spot on!

A very welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. So many amazing cake flavours to choose from. A large choice of vegan option and gluten free available. Along with other things on the menu of course but today we had tea and cake. Victoria is one of the loviest kindest lady's I've met, so patient, friendly and warm to everyone. A beautiful setting too. An absolute must visit if your in steyning time and time again. A very special lady with a very special place.

Lovely food and drink and excellent service. Brightened up a rainy day

The most delicious vegan orange and lavender cake ever!! Highly recommend.

Delicious coffee and cakes. Victoria is always lovely!

Such a lovely welcoming coffee/tea house. I had a beautiful cup of coffee with Apple cake, sat outside and watched the world go by. When I next visit Steyning I will definitely be stopping again for coffee and cake.

Great food. Lovely idea for kids menu of building their own sandwiches etc. Shakes and smoothies look good

Very good.It is good to see you are doing Ok Victoria.

Such a gorgeous little cafe. The owner is so friendly. Highly recommend this place ☺️

Nice takeaway coffee and cake. Heaving with bloody bikers on the day we visited, and I was one of them 😀 It will be nice to visit again and sit inside for the full experience next time

Stopped off here for a caffeinboost during a long cycle ride. Excellent coffee and had a slice of orange and lavender cake which was both unusual and very tasty. Great selection of homemade cakes as well as food and drink all of which looked delicious. Was able to sit outside in the sun. Great place to visit and would highly recommend.

Amazing sandwich, coffee and cake. A must visit if in Steyning.

Delicious coffee and cake and very friendly, helpful service Gluten free food available

Amazing cakes and Victoria is lovely. Definitely worth a visit

Stopped on a cycle. Lemon and blueberry cake is great fuel!

Absolutely the BEST CAKE EVER!!!!!

Fantastic place. Can't wait to go back!!!

The best coffee, great sausage rolls and a very friendly host.

Victoria’s Sponge is a delightful independent cafe in Steyning High Street. For me, it is the best cup of coffee in the area; consistently creamy, delicious and the perfect strength. The cake selection is always a joy, but it’s the coffee and Victoria’s friendly smile that keeps me going back!

The cakes are just the best and all because the owner bakes them herself. Most are either GF,DF, VG or a combination. The owner is very friendly and welcoming.

Discovered this amazing little cafe while on a walk in the South Downs - lovely owner, giant slices of delicious cake and great customer service. Would highly recommend!!

Best coffee in the area , lovely cakes, delightful owner

Fab little cafe in Steyning run by Victoria. Food excellent and Covington protocols observed

Very relaxed, lovely place for a nice lunch or just coffee and of course cake! Sandwiches toasted or not, wonderful tasty filling salads and more. Highly recommended.

Very nice cake. Polite Covid safe service. Coffee was superb and it was busy with locals which is always a good sign. Cycle friendly, room outside to park watch your bikes. Many Thanks.

We have visited this place a few times because of the lovely lady who owns it and the service she provides. The cakes are amazing and everytime we visit its a tough choice which of the delicious cakes to try. This is our favourite place to get a latte and coffee or even tea. If you don't visit here you're missing out.

Lovely little tea rooms, beautiful crockery, best coffee we have both had in a very long time, amazing selection of cakes including gluten free & vegan. Nice selection of salads, simple cooked food & sandwiches with take away option. Victoria herself couldn't have done more for us or been more helpful, lovely lady & doing it all alone. Toilet not suitable for disabled though as such a tiny space. Cushions I could sit on though so 9 out of 10 from us. Really lifted our trip to Steyning on a wet & windy day, Thank you we will definitely be back & will be recommend you to all our family & friends. We always prefer to support independent places whenever we can & this was is top of the list so far!

We were greeted with a smile,and the service was wonderful as was the cake!! Don't miss out.

Great cakes and hot beverages plus lovely staff

Nice staff, love the Oreo milkshake. Panini was lovely as was the salad on the side.

The cupcakes are awesome. Definitely worth a visit or order some cakes in if you cant get to the cafe

Beautiful little tea room, Victoria is a very friendly welcoming lady. Definitely will visit again, even treats for the dog. Peter & Julia

Good tea and very friendly café.

Amazing. Delicious cakes, absolutely lovely and charming owner/cake magician and cozy atmosphere. Also the most incredible Victoria sponge I've ever tasted.

Superb! FIVE different gluten free cake options, also dairy free. I had the gf Toffee Cake which was delicious! So impressed as always get fobbed off with gf flapjacks in other places. We will be back! ❤❤

Such a lovely cafe, perfect place to stop after walking the South Downs Way. Amazing cake selection, great gluten free and vegan options and very good value. Very friendly service too!

Such a delight. We stopped in on a bike ride and had a really tasty sandwich. The lady (Victoria?) was so lovely and offered to refill our water bottles. Would 💯 recommend.
