Best Coffee in West Sussex

After a blustery beach walk or a early morning swim with community swim group, the Bracklesham Blue Tits, warm up at Goat with a coffee and a cruffin. They serve Caravan coffee which you know is going to make a good cup. Dogs are welcome too, and they even serve puppacinos—happy dog, happy owner!

The ultimate spot for coffee lovers, Cast Iron treats coffee as an art form—and they’ve perfected it. Sit back, savour your cup and pick up beans to take home (ground to your preference). They also offer a convenient subscription service for coffee delivered straight to your door.

An Italian spot is always a safe bet for good coffee, and La Follia is no exception. This glorious spot in the heart of South Harting is an oasis where every cup should be paired with a cornetti. 

After a long walk, coffee is a must. Stop at The T Box for a hot drink and toastie to take in the incredible views of Chichester and beyond. On sunny weekends, they also serve pizza - result! 

You know it’s going to be a good latte when you can hear the cows mooing behind you. The Coffee Hut uses Host Coffee which is a Sussex favourite and donates a percentage of its sales to Charity: Water. You can also pick up fresh milk from the vending machine whilst you’re there, add a pump of your favourite flavour (chocolate for me every time), and enjoy! The Coffee Hut is only open on the weekends. 

Choose between the Hungry Guest Deli (Middle Street) and the Hungry Guest Café (behind Newlands House Gallery) both stocked with delicious treats to pair with your coffee. Petworth is a beautiful, quaint town to explore on foot, so definitely get a takeaway (with a brownie) and go for an explore. 

Cycling and great coffee go hand in hand. Dotted along the South Downs, Cadence Coffee is the perfect stop for caffeine and some fuel (the toastie kind), whether you’re cycling or walking. Plan your route to go via Cadence, you won’t be disappointed. Cadence Coffee operates seasonally. 

Coffee among the flowers is a dreamy affair. Spring Gardens Nursery use Cast Iron Coffee which explains why it’s such a good cup! Order a delicious brunch, then explore Bramble Studios—a shop packed with gorgeous homeware, flowers and local goods.

This is the ultimate farm shop. After browsing and taking your pick from all of the best local produce, get a take out coffee from the café and enjoy the amazing scenery - walk around the polo field and past the Cowdray Ruins. It’s a perfect stroll if you’ve got a dog in tow.

Tucked away in Little London, this tiny spot serves one of the best cups in the city centre. Common Grounds coffee, made with Clifton Coffee Roasters beans, is crafted with love and skill.
