St Martin's Organic Coffee House

What an amazing find in the centre of Chichester, we were looking for somewhere different other than the main chains. This is a little gem, quintessential and English cottage coffee shop. Only had a tea and coffee plus a fruit scone, sorry no photo as it had just come out of the oven. Will definitely go back to taste some of their food.

This cafe is so beautiful. The interior is amazing, however it is vastly overpriced. Yes, it's organic and the coffee is very nice, but still, I feel like I was ripped-off and I don't think i'll be going back. I can buy an equally nice coffee for less in the pub next door.

My first time here. I only found it by following a sign on the main street. It really was worth looking for. The service was good. The soup and bread were absolutely delicious and very filling. The coffee was ok although the cup was quite small for £4.95. It made for an expensive lunch but as a treat it was definitely worth it. The open fire and the historic building really made it special. It was so peaceful with a lovely ambience. I liked the open kitchen idea. All in all a real find. I will look forward to returning. I'm thinking of moving to Chichester and St Martin's is a definite plus point!

We were looking forward to going here with our children but saw these signs outside saying that children and babies are not allowed in — frankly this is ageist and surely it’s not legal at all to refuse service to people based on their age?! I think the establishment need to change their ‘policy’ asap

Oh dear. This was appalling. Tiny portions dumped on a plate with no attempt to make it look inviting, eg with salad garnish. When we asked if the dishes came with salad, the proprietor said, 'No, there's salad stuff in the pie' Excuse me, what?? We ordered drinks before finding a table outside, only to be told by the 'chef/waiter' that we had to go back inside to get it. My tea consisted of a cheap mug of hot water with a teabag next to it and milk in a paper cup. £3.95. When my 'toastie' arrived, I couldn't believe my eyes, it was minuscule. I blurted out, 'Is that all?!', to which he replied ' it's only meant to be a snack, that's why it's less than the other items'. The proprietor then came out and said,' I see you've cleaned your plates, either that's a good thing or it wasn't enough', laughing as he said it. No, we said, it wasn't enough. What an absolute, insulting rip off. We were still hungry, obviously, so we went to M and S, bought delicious sandwiches and salad and ate them in the Cathedral gardens.

This place is such a cute little secret. Having our tea and cake while chatting to the owner really felt like we'd gone back in time. The food is all organic and healthy. The garden is really lovely, can't wait to come back in the spring! Would definitely recommend popping in for a relaxed coffee experience.

I have fallen in love with this coffee shop. A charming coffee shop in Chichester, especially in ambiance and décor. The staff were warm and friendly, and the food hearty and classic — homemade soups, toasties and cakes. Simplicity at its finest. I look forward to returning to my favourite coffee shop in Chichester!

Absolute rip off. Disgusted on my visit yesterday. £4.60 for tea in a paper cup dining in and 35p extra for milk. Soup served in paper cup and charged extra for bread and vegan butter. Cheese toastie, no garnish and very small slice bread. Total £27.70 for 2 teas, one soup and toastie. Reason given when I complained was it was to cover overheads! Place was almost empty and another customer also commented on price....we even had to dunk our own teabag. I appreciate it's economically difficult but ripping off customers won't help. Will never go again..
