What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Crispins Cafe is consistently praised for its friendly service, cozy atmosphere, and delicious homemade food, especially full English breakfasts and cakes. While many love the welcoming vibe and generous portions, some recent reviews have noted a decline in food quality, with one customer experiencing very poor ingredients.
"Crispins Cafe is a great find in Chichester. The freshly cooked is always really good - highly recommend their all day veggie breakfast, their amazing omelettes, their yummy cakes....and beautifully presented coffees.....look at these cappuccinos!
Staff are always lovely, place is spotless, prices good. Go next time you're in Chi !"

"Fantastic full cooked breakfast today (27/12/24).
Great owner and staff, but best of all great quality locally sourced produce. I would highly recommend the full breakfast!
10/10"

"This place was great! The only downside was that there were so many things on the menu that I wanted to try (such as the pesto mayo chicken pasta with wedges). I ended up going for a classic - the full English (pictured) and it was the best I’ve had since moving to the UK.
I also want to apologise for my blunt mother, with whom we were dining. She was a bit curt in requesting that our table be wiped down. For context, we had sat down without giving the staff a chance to clean up after the people before us and I moved all the cups away so the staff didn’t know the table wasn’t clean.
Thanks again - great food, great vibes."
