Apple Cafe - Chichester

We love this cafe for hot drinks and treats. We haven't tried their food menu but it always looks good. We like their hot chocolate menu, today drinking classic hot and Terry's orange both lovely. Our other favourite is the milkshakes. Small so does get busy.

I was shocked by the disrespectful behavior of the young female staff member towards me and my elderly mother. The bathrooms and their accessibility were in poor condition.

This cafe, located inside Waterstones bookshop, offers a pleasant atmosphere. The service was good and the coffee and scones were excellent. However, there was a discrepancy in pricing as the menu only listed one price for coffee, but we were charged 20% more. It would be helpful if the staff informed customers of the actual price when ordering. The food looked and smelled delicious, and we would have considered returning for lunch if not for the unexpected price increase on the coffee. The cafe is dog-friendly, but it is situated up a flight of stairs in the shop, making it less accessible for those with mobility issues.

The coffee was good and the ambience pleasant and we were surrounded by the tempting variety of new books to read whilst we sat there naturally once we started we had to finish! So we both bought the books we were reading! A risk but a good one!

Sadly the view has gone downhill with the Cathedral being wrapped in plastic sheeting while the roof timbers and lead roof are installed. Some 5 years, I believe. That said the cheese scones and lentil soup are as wonderful as ever. Hayling Seagoon
