Tomfoolery Coffee Company - Adur

I am a local to Shoreham so Tom Foolery is a place I have been to a lot of time previously and have always been happy to come to. Generally they have good food which is made with fresh ingredients. However, I have not been here probably for a year now and to say I am shocked by the prices is an understatement. £13 for a small breakfast, £9.25 for a sandwich, £4 for chips! If you want a Buddha bowl, that’ll set you back a tenner, if you then want falafel, that’ll be an extra £3.75, so £14 total for the privilege. If you are dining here for two, expect a £40+ bill, for breakfast. It’s outrageous. I will not be returning.

I went with my children for coffee and cake, stuff were not very friendly made you feel like an inconvenience, when we finally ordered everything come at different times, we didn't have anything fancy just 3 regularly drink and 2 bits of cake and it come to £25. Never going there again, I'd had a bad experience there about a year ago but thought I'd give it another try,wish I hadn't bothered.

I have been a regular at this cafe for the past few weeks and I really enjoy their food. They have a wide variety of options and can accommodate dietary needs. I have tried the eggs on sourdough toast and the salmon and cream cheese bagel, which, while a bit pricey, was incredibly filling and loaded with salmon. The cafe uses local butcher's meats, which justifies the higher prices. The customer service can be inconsistent, with some days receiving a warm welcome and others having to wait for staff to finish their conversations before being served. This may be due to different managers on different shifts. Overall, I enjoy working in the welcoming atmosphere of this cafe and will continue to return.

This restaurant is a wonderful, peaceful spot with an outstanding menu. The service was exceptionally friendly and professional. I appreciated the variety of teas served in pots, which is always my preferred way to enjoy tea. The bacon and pancakes were delicious - I will definitely be coming back to dine here again.

We went to Tom 's today and came away irritated and feeling ripped off. It took 40 mins for 2 sausage sandwiches and a poached eggs on toast to come out. When the order finally arrived, we were presented with vegan sausages (not what we ordered) and when I queried it I was cheerfully told 'oh sorry I put them through as vegan, they taste the same though '. Offered a replacement which in theory would have been fine but I couldn 't wait another 30-40 mins for food. So pressed on and ate the vegan sausage sandwiches...well...they most definitely don 't taste the same (quelle surprise) and when I opened the ciabtta there were two thin sausages cut in half. £9.25 for two sausages, onion chutney and a ciabatta...are you kidding me. Nothing else on the plate apart from some peas shoots, and seeds. Moving on to the poached egg...they were like boiled eggs, luckily my young daughter was happy, no one else would have been. The chips were like those that you 'd have in a cheap cafe, all air and no flavour. Now I do have to say that because of the mix up, they funded the sandwiches and by this point I couldn 't face talking to them about the eggs and chips. However if I had received either the correct order or indeed had in fact ordered vegan sausages it would not have been good. It was a good reminder of why not to eat anything substantial here, maybe an overpriced coffee/tea and a croissant/cake but there are plenty of better places to eat.
