Vintage Tea Room in Worthing

Good friendly service and everything in place for Covid (test and trace and hand santiser). Tables spread well apart. Three of us had toasted tea cakes and they were a good size and lovely spiced flavour. Love the quirkiness off the cafe. We all enjoyed our afternoon tea and will definitely be coming back.

What a quaint tea room. Popped along on off chance to treat my mum with tea and cake. Menu said high tea with scone cream and jam from 2-5pm... We got there just before 12. I asked if they do a similar deal and the lady said they could do this one for us. So pleased. Proper tea with strainer (which fascinated my 16 year old haha). Mum was over the moon. Menu prices very reasonable and would definitely return.

Enjoyed a MOST delicious Goat Cheese salad . Then ice cream. The silver teapots and crockery are my grandparents era so it was lovely. Good value

Been three times in short order: first for breakfast, then for lunch and then for coffee and cake.Unfortunately I haven’t got pictures of the breakfast, or cakes, but do have a couple for the lunch.Vintage English and Vintage Vegetarian breakfasts were excellent and we were impressed with the speed of service. Coffee is good and tea is leaf tea and you get the strainer and the cups are china: all very good.Went for lunch and I opted for fish fingers in a bun, with chips and my daughter had the Heritage Rarebit with Roasted Vegetables. The fish fingers numbered five, yes five! And it all came in an enamel tray with a good portion of chips.Coffee and cake was also good. Choice of four lovely cakes and generous portions of: chocolate, carrot, Victoria and one other that escapes me!The decor is retro, with old wood tables and chairs and the dresser and shelves are filled with vintage memorabilia. Good location on the seafront and there is seating outside as well.Definitely going back!

We went for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised as I'll be honest the outside doesn't do the place any justice. The inside is full of vintage pieces which bought back lots of memories for lots of us, it is really quirky. The menu was very extensive and flexible if you wanted to change your eggs etc to what was stated. Staff were friendly. A very decent hot yummy brekki and would definitely return and recommend. The only thing I would say it would be nice if there was some vintage bunting around the room to finish it off.

We had a high tea here thanks to some vouchers given as a pressie. The table was cleaned down before they allowed us to sit and the other tables were well spaced apart. There was sanitiser should you want some and the toilet was clean and tidy.There was a gluten free option which was great for my son and they offered a gluten free scone too. Our food came within a reasonable time and everything was served with a smile. Nothing was too much trouble so extra milk was no problem.The food itself was tasty and fresh (v important with scones!)All in all a lovely lunch, would recommend.

Just had a quick coffee here yesterday lunchtime - and was most disappointed with the levels of hygiene. The table still had the previous customer’s cups and saucers. When the waitress arrived - she wore no mask or gloves - and I thought was just a little too close for comfort. She removed the used crockery, took our coffee order and that was the last we saw until our coffee arrived. I had hoped she would arrive with a clean cloth and spray to clean the table which is happening in every single establishment I have been to. So, I myself cleaned the table with 2 anti bacteria wipes - and they were filthy when I finished which meant the table was dirty to start with. I am sorry to say that your observance of the regulations in the outside area of your Tea Room Left a lot to be desired and did not fill me with any confidence at all as a consumer. You have to improve this.

Wonderful little vintage tea room serving a very good selection of teas, coffees, alcoholic & soft beverages and freshly made cakes all served on vintage plates & cups. We ordered some cakes & scones with jam and cream, coffee, tea & vintage lemonade which went down well with everyone. Prices were very reasonable.

Thought we'd surprise my nan and do something special for her birthday. We booked a table online and had confirmation that evening.When we entered the tearoom, we went to the counter and said to the waitress we had a table booking (she had dark hair and was wearing a scarf) to which she replied 'what for here' with a abrupt tone and then said to just go and sit anywhere. Luckily there were two tables close by that we could pull together. If we came in 15 minutes later there would have been nowhere to sit - it got busy very quickly.The majority of us chose the afternoon tea - it was lovely. Came with a choice of hot drink, a scone which was nice and warm and a choice of sandwich. It was presented well and very nice. There was a bit of a wait but that was understandable with the time. The vegan sandwich options were very limited and over priced for what it is. However the cake - no idea what it's called but it had blueberries was really nice.My sister is a picky eater (I could've written this is the booking email but they wouldn't of taken note anyway) so she was asking to swap a few items. The waitress who took our order was getting very frustrated and you could clearly tell. It is also not nice to see when safe are clearly talking about you, talking facing the other way then turning to look at your table. Unfortunately my nan's meal was over done and she did mention this to the waitress when clearing up and she didn't apologise.All in all the decor and food were nice, but the service let it down. Also upsetting that our booking wasn't acknowledged. We would've gone to the pier café as we have never had problems and there is a greater choice of food however it was closed.

Called in today by chance after a brisk walk along the front. The decor is vintage and full of old bric a brac. The coffee, lemon drizzle cake, scone and tea were all delicious.

Brilliant place to meet with friends cheating while eating delicious cakes before an afternoon in the cinema attached to the same building.

Friendly staff, nice cafe style food. Customers and staff had to close the door over 20 times while we had our coffee and snack lunch. Why there is not a handle on the outside, so overtime someone leaves the door is left open for customers and staff to close..

Not bad, but not good either. I should say I did not try the food, so perhaps, it would have earned a higher rating had I done so. I arrived shortly after opening, so I was the first one in and had a solid half hour as the only customer. In spite of this, the two baristas/servers chatted to each other for a solid 2 minutes while I stared directly at them with my menu open...several glances in my direction made it very obvious they knew they were keeping me waiting. Loud rock music in the background was not conducive to a quiet morning read. Even with my headphones in and softer tunes turned up, I could also not tune out the baristas loud conversation. Granted, once the place started to fill up, they did calm down. That being said...the decor and seating was vintage and fun and the tea was pretty good, though once again, merely average.

Went for breakfast with my wife, we had scrambled eggs on toast & eggs Benedict. Excellent fresh food served quickly with a smile. Great little cafe with quaint surroundings right next door to the historical cinema. Definitely worth a visit.

Part of the Dome Cinema on the front at Worthing, this cafe evokes a vintage atmosphere worthy of its 1911 history with movie and jazz hits but it is the coffee you will return for! The excellent latte is served in a half pint beer mug! The americano has a serious kick, necessary after a bracing coastal walk. The entrance is accessible and there is a disabled loo. Brill!

Popped in for some breakfast and ordered a coffee and scrambled eggs on toast. I ask for the eggs to be softly done, and they were great. The only problem was they forgot about my coffee, so had to remind them. They did give me a discount because of the coffee, so I forgave them. All in all not bad.

We love this place and are usually waited on by one of two friendly lovely ladies. Sadly today we went there and asked the man serving if a spare chair could be provided for a table with only one placed at it, and were told if you can find one move it yourself, which we begrudgingly did. We then waited 15 mins with no one coming to take our order so left. Up until today we would have rated 5*.

Occasionally visit and the food is always very good, and atmosphere lives up to its name. The decor reflects the time when the Dome cinema opened over 100 years ago.

Nice place to rest after a walk around the shops. Earl grey tea hot and tasty. Not the usual tea bag stuff. Real tea leaves, made the proper way. Partner had apple and cinnamon tea. Very tasty. Overall a very pleasant place to relax.

visited here on a hot afternoon for tea & cake - we were served at the table fairly quickly. We both had cake - huge slice of cake but slightly dry - and proper tea in a teapot with tea leaves and a strainer!! reasonable price but ideal location when sat outside

Lovely individual crockery, good service and delicious cakes make this a favourite place. They have gluten free options, even scones! I only wish they opened earlier, for breakfast.

Vibrant Vintage Tea rooms, a delight to visit . Ample portion sizes for the freshly made cakes- recommend salted caramel and the carrot cake . Decent real tea in China cups .Pleasant background upbeat music and friendly staff. Clean tables and facilities . We may return and combine with cinema trip at the dome .

Bad be cause of hygiene the two glasses I got were discusting I’m very discussed of the place it was horrible.

Pleasant tea room which makes a proper cup of tea.Also sells reasonably priced food,its Welsh Rarebit is to die for and its cakes are not bad either.

I called in for a snack and a drink following a windswept seafront walk. Relaxed atmosphere, pleasant attentive staff quirky vintage style.

Friendly, good sized snacks interesting ales and ciders. Smoked salmon a good choice and splendid home made cakes

This is right next to the Dome Cinema and close to the sea front. It’s decorated in vintage style as the name suggests and is in keeping with the age and history of the Dome building. Occasionally we pop in here for a coffe and snack. In the past we have had a lovely bacon sarnie but on this occasion tea for two, real leaf tea served in a proper teapot. I had crumpets with butter and jam (note to self to ask if they have Marmite next time) but the jam version was still good. My husband had a traditional cream tea. Price for both of us came in under a tenner which in my book is excellent value for money in comparison with other well known coffee places. Staff are always friendly. Next time it might be sunny enough to sit outside, who knows?

Super tea room. Had a superb lunch, freshly prepared. Excellent service. Reasonable prices. Thoroughly recommended. Will definitely visit again.

We pop in now and then and are always impressed by the helpful friendly staff, a short food menu (always a good sign in my eyes) a somewhat longer drinks menu and sensible pricing. We had a pot of tea for two (real leaf tea), crumpets with butter and jam and a cream tea all for under £10. Elsewhere this would have been far higher. The decor, tables and chairs are all representative of early 1900s which is in harmony with original building date of the Dome Cinema which it is connected to. We will return.

Having read the reviews on Tripadvisor we decided to pop in for a snack lunch on Saturday. It is a very quaint, rather old fashioned tea room from the past. Bags of atmosphere. We were impressed to start with because the tea was hot (really hot) which is a change these days. The food that followed was excellent. I had the Tuna Melt Baguette. Delicious and with plenty of filling. My wife had the BLT Baguette, which also had plenty of bacon filling. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will return when we are next in Worthing.

Macaris my usual watering hole was closed and this place was almost next door. Friendly welcome. Excellent sandwich of smoked salmon, generously filled and reasonable in cost. Introduced to a nice craft beer Shoreditch blonde. Liked it so much I went twice!

The food was cold the kitchen is ten feet away this is basically not good enough ! Eggs benedict is hard ! But when it turns up cold and late it exposes the experience of the staff ... which is ..low

We stopped in here last weekend. I had the royal afternoon tea (sandwich, scone, tea), my partner had the cheese board. You get a lot for the money and we were able to sit here for a good hour or so with nobody rushing us. It has a really nice atosphere, would definitely recommend.

Having not been here for a while we visited on Monday 1 October for breakfast and weren’t disappointed. We went for our usual full breakfast - all elements were cooked beautifully and very flavoursome. The sausages here are amazing. The breakfast is excellent value at £7.95 and comes with toast. The coffee here is fabulous too. A special mention for our waitress on duty today who was very chatty and helpful and to the chef that served our breakfasts too - we believe that she’s a new edition and her food is amazing. The tearoom offers a great range of breakfasts, lunches and afternoon teas with a superb range of hot, cold and alcoholic drinks. The cakes look fabulous too - they get eyed up every time we visit for breakfast so we’re looking forward to dropping in for tea sometime too. Keep up the good work!

Took my mother for a light meal and sat outside to enjoy the September sunshine. We both chose the lemon and thyme mushrooms with sourdough toast and a mug of tea. PG tips in a half pint mug was quirky and fine we thought. The mushrooms were delicious. A generous serving, piping hot. Toast quite thin for sourdough but three slices. Butter in a little pot was not really enough though. Pleasant service and excellent value at less than £6 per person.

3 of us had a late breakfast here on a Saturday morning. It was pretty busy (always a good sign), but there's plenty of seating inside and out. The vibe is definitely English tea room from many years ago, with china cups and leaf tea poured through strainers, with fresh cakes on display on the counter.

I was meeting friends here for a cup of tea. I was sitting outside with a lovely pot of leaf tea. Service was attentive without being obtrusive.

What a lovely quaint place to have coffee before watching your favourite film in Done Cinema. Service is friendly. Atmosphere is easy and relaxing.

I had Welsh Rarebit and my husband had a BLT. All very good and tasty. I ordered a pot of tea and it was nice to have leaf tea.

We enjoyed the fish plater and the veggie all day breakast (at 4.30 pm!). Nicely presented and perfectly cooked breakfast and yummy fish terrine. Worth a visit when you look for a place to enjoy the sun and the view! Waiting staff was quick, friendly, smiling and helpful

This is a great place to have a nice cuppa, piece of cake in the ☀️ & watch people (and busses) 🚌☕️🍰

I've always found this a lovely place to stop for a cup of tea or indeed a glass of wine. The staff are lovely and they have an outdoor seating area as well (although the road is very busy and next to a bus garage.)

Popped in here and we could have been in 1920. Quirky tables/seating, but, real tea and real teacups/saucers. Lovely service. It would be a shame to see this disappear as it is part of the Dome Cinema.

Stopped here for lunch and enjoyed the all day breakfast menu having Eggs Benedict with ham and lovely hollandaise sauce on muffins my wife enjoyed mushroomswith toast. Tea and coffee to round it off.

Attended an afternoon family tea on

Perfect place for afternoon tea. Great ambience. Interesting decor and lovely music. Real tea leaves, vintage bone China and scrumptious cakes. Attentive staff. What more could you ask for. Our residents love it

It is a traditional tea room aytached to th cinema and is authentically decorated like it eas back in the 1920s or 30s The food was good and reasonably priced with friendly service.

The food is good apart from the bread on the Welsh rarebit being soggy. But why can’t they put a handle on the front door!!!! It’s not rocket science and stops the person inside having to shut the door 50 times while trying to enjoy their tea etc.

This is quite a charming little tea room in a lovely seafront location. It shares one side of the impressive Dome Cinema building

Lovely tea room in good location. Catered for a family of 6 including a toddler with no issues even with us being a bit indecisive! Waitress very patient and friendly. Food was excellent. Seafood platter looked great. Drinks very quaint in nice glasses. Very relaxing to sit outside in the sun. Thank you.

The Worthing Dome Cinema was rescued over 20 years ago and it now has a 'vintage tea room' alongside in the foyer area of the cinema.

Popped in here for a quick bite to eat after visiting the cinema and was not disappointed. We ordered a couple of sandwiches, portion of chips and drinks, it all arrived in good time and was delicious. Good sized sandwiches and well cooked chips. And all at a reasonable cost.

We have visited this tea room quite a few times and it is always consistently good. Nice friendly staff and lovely ambience with music that complements the decor etc. Reasonably priced.

We visited the Vintage Tea Rooms last week and sat outside for coffee...yes in January because its a sun trap outside! Perused the menu and after a walkncame back for a great lunch at extremely good prices. they sell Craft Beer/lager and wine as well.

Three of us went to the Vintage tea room for coffee and a snack. The coffee, the food and the service was very good. Handy to the Dome cinema.

Situated at the Dome cinema this quirky café is a little gem on the shabby chic style so full of vintage items and furniture it has a great setting in Worthing.

Nice little place for a coffee and lunch. Outside area is nice when the sun it out. Friendly staff and good service.

A visit to the beautifully restored Dome cinema would not be complete without a visit to the Vintage Tea Rooms.

I took two elderly residents out as a treat to this lovely vintage jewell. Good access for wheel chair and lovely generous portions of cake and tea went down well with all. Lovely china cups and you can order hot meals too. Nice venue.

Popped in whilst in the area as had no idea what other places had to offer & time was an issue.Visited with my Sister In Law as she thought it looked quaint from the distance.

We popped in to avoid the worst of the lovely English summer weather and realised that we had done the same a few years back when we were last in Worthing. We had a lovely experience the first time so we happy we stumbled in. It didn't disappoint and next time we visit the area we will search it out rather than stumble in.

Well-run cafe with friendly service, good coffee and delicious cakes. Good location opposite the pier and next to the lovely Dome independent cinema.

It was a few weeks ago that we visited this seafront establishment so I've had plenty of time to consider our visit. Last Christmas we were given two gift vouchers for a Vintage Afternoon Tea and due to various reasons only just made use of them.

The food is wonderful, the staff are lovely and service is fantastic. One problem - the cleanliness. There is a saying, if you want to see if you should eat somewhere, check how clean the toilets are. There are really no excuses, it was 9:30 in the morning, and these haven't been cleaned for weeks/months. Such a shame - I loved eating here!

This is, admittedly, a nice-looking tea rooms, in the same building as Worthing's lovely Dome cinema. But mis-matched tables, cutesy crockery and quirky decor do not make up for shonky food, hap-hazardly served.

Light lunch on a hot summers day. Service impeccable, scrambled eggs perfect, big pot of tea which never seemed to empty. My partner had the nicest pork pie he'd ever eaten. I would well recommend this tea room, its quaint decor, good music, though quiet, lovely staff. I would definitely visit again when in town.

Nice little dusty tea room if you like your gin and tonic served in a jam jar with a straw. Tea and scones were ok but scone a little dry.

A lovely tearoom on the seafront next to the Dome cinema, although you do have to look at the 700 bus every 10 minutes as this stretch of the seafront is also adjacent to Worthing bus station and is the main interchange in town.

We have been a few times now, for lunch and as a group function. It's a delightful place right by the old Dome cinema and close to Worthing Pier, so it has that 'Good old Sussex by the sea' Vintage feel to it, as the name would suggest. The food is pleasant, as are the staff and decor so whats not to like !

Nice tea room by the seafront, indoor and outdoor seating, a variety of teas to choose from as well as cakes and cream tea.

Nice little oldie worldy place, nice food menu.. A great treat before or after the cinema. Wheel chair accessible and cakes portions generous. Been here quite a few times now, nice staff, a great place to take elderly , young or anyone really.

Love my weekend breakfast here! Always freshly cooked with friendly service and a proper cup of tea. Good value

Popped in here for lunch after a long walk from Brighton. Had pork pie and piccalilli; humus, carrot and caraway sticks and a portion of yummy home made chips plus freshly made apple crumble cake, a glass of wine and two fizzy drinks. The pie was a bit under seasoned and the pastry could have been crispier, but otherwise everything was excellent. Came to £22 excluding service, so really good value for three of us. Staff couldn't have been more friendly and efficient. Attractive retro decor and lots of musicals playing in the background. Recommended.

I can't give a bad review because when I visited for breakfast I was served one of the nicest sausage sandwiches I have ever eaten in a cafe. My request to have it served with an English mustard and marmalade combination did not even raise an eyebrow. The service from out waitress was confusingly bad though. When she first came to the table my husband had gone to the loo so, I ordered 2 lattes and asked if she would mind coming back for the food order when he returned. He was back within seconds but even though the cafe was not very busy it was impossible to get her attention. While we were trying another table sat down, ordered and were halfway through the meal before we gave up and told the manager what we wanted as he passed by. When it came to ask for the bill, I managed to catch our waitresses eye and request it. For ten minutes while we waited, she fiddled around doing other tasks, had a dance, chatted to her mate and went to the loo, despite me trying to wave every time she glanced in our general direction. Luckily were weren't in a rush, it was kind of entertaining. Eventually we gave up and asked another girl behind the counter for the bill and she bought it to us immediately. So, be prepared to fight for some service if you want to eat in here.

What a beautiful experience. Took mum and daughter here for high tea upstairs in the function rooms. We were greated curteously and shown to our seats, offered Prosecco or elderflower with sparkling water. The food was of a high standard and more than plenty for 3. Tea was served more than once. A fantastic singer sang songs fitting of the theme of the tea room and era. We were sat by the window which was lovely for the view but it was blisteringly hot so i think a blind would have been of benefit. Overall a fantastic afternoon and definately going back.

We came here for Mother's Day which was ruined for us by unhelpful staff. We were placed at the table by the doors leading to the loos. The front door was open and we were sitting in draught.

situated inside the building that houses the cinema, this is a nice tea room and generally not so well known as the eateries on the pier just opposite (it overlooks the beach). Good tea and cake. Friendly staff. Average prices.

This little place has a great atmosphere, with friendly helpful staff and a great selection of food and drinks on offer.The decoration is great with a fascinating collection of vintage paraphernalia.The knives and forks come served in an old metal teapot and the bill even came up inside an old copy of a Collins French phrase book.I was very impressed with the way the staff opened the door for clients when entering or leaving and it's the way they deal with visitors that makes this place stand out

Stopped in here for brunch as it looked nice from the outside, were not disappointed! Very unique and quirky atmosphere with all it's vintage wares, mis-matched furniture and cutlery. Highlight was when my mug of tea came in a half-pint glass tankard!

We stopped off here for tea and cake and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We were made very welcome and we were served promptly. Cake portions generous and tasty...all homemade and very moorish. Loved the faded gentility of the decor with the mix and match china crockery. Although we did not have a lot to eat we were not rushed and it was a relaxing stop between exploring the seafront and the shops.

A Sunday afternoon stroll into Worthing from Lancing ended up in us visiting this adorable little tea room for afternoon tea and it was definitely worth the walk!

Went in after our cinema visit and had a great meal. Food well cooked with very friendly, professional service. Definitely coming back for high tea.

Friday lunch for two. We had the goats cheese salad and the vegetarian mezzo sharing platter. Both really nice and well presented. We were there for several hours and didn't feel pressured to give up our seats at any point. The cream/afternoon teas looked great and we will definitely be back!

Wonderful place for afternoon tea. My daughter and I visited here just before Christmas. The food was extremely good, the young girls serving were very pleasant and welcoming. We booked earlier in the day, but you can usually have a table without booking. Very retro, with 60s music being played. Will definitely visit again. Most impressed.

having read the other reviews I wondered if I was at the same place ?? sadly I was.

My wife and I went into the Vintage Tea Room on Worthing's Marine Parade for a snack

Had a lovely brunch with friends. Really enjoyed a vege breakfast. Service was friendly and very good and there was a very nice atmosphere. Enjoyed the quirky decor, would like to return to sample other dishes.

Excellent cafe. My daughter and I had afternoon tea here. The staff were so cheerful and happy. The food was wonderful, we had sandwiches, scones with jam and cream, Earl Grey Tea, and a big glass of mulled cider. A lovely experience and we will most definitely be having tea here at another time (not too long) We both highly recommend this lovely traditional cafe. Don't miss this when you are in Worthing. Angela and daughter Alison.

Very quaint tea shop. Staff very helpful, attentive and all served with lots of smiles. Excellent selection of cakes and loose leaf tea. Very clean and pleasant vintage decor.

Popped into the tearooms before the cinema. Nice little food and drinks menu. Well priced, good service. Lovely decor and music. Nice atmosphere. Will visit again.

Delighted to be back again - I had a few questions for my musical friend, re my project.

Good coffee, tempting cakes, great breakfast and lunches - interesting vegetarian options as well. Quaint mixed crockery gives a lovely old fashioned tea room feel to the place. All served by warm friendly staff.

Fantastic food and fast efficient service great waitresses feels like old school dining with all the old furniture and bits and bobs bought back some memories

I caught up with my friend today and having to be careful where I eat, I was delighted to have the option of sandwich and cake as well as other options.

We went there on a week day and it was a shambles from start to finish, with rude staff, who couldn't care less.

We sat outside in the sunshine this weekend and it was wonderful. We were shown a table straight away and ordered a pot of tea and a milk shake. The crockery and teapots are in keeping with the vintage tea rooms... so quaint. Real tea with a tea strainer too. My milk shake was lovely, tasty and refreshing. The staff are helpful and freindly and it was quite busy. The decor is interesting and so too the array of furniture.

Fantastic tearooms that have a varied menu and great homemade cakes. Whether its an all day breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea or just a drink this place is great. The lattes come in the old dimpled half pint mug so you feel like you have had a coffee. You can sit in or outside, can book a table and it has an alcohol license.

Stopped here for a welcome cup of tea and was overjoyed by the fact that I was presented with a pot of tea made with loose tea!! Of course this was accompanied by a tea strainer - for those of us who remember not enjoying the experience of having tea leaves in ones mouth! Quite a delightful assortment of pretty china crockery is the norm here along with memorabilia from previous decades dotted around the little cafe. The staff are extremely pleasant and helpful. All together a very happy experience.

When i asked how long roughly my breakfast would take to took the girls working said rudly "well how long do you think it takes to make a breakfast" then went off giggling together. The food however was great but the customer service let it down.

Une excellente adresse de salon de thé à l'ancienne, en plein centre de Worthing.
