Welcome to Bay Leaf Cafe, a delightful haven nestled in the heart of Worthing at 44b Goring Rd, where every visit feels like a warm embrace. This charming cafe offers not only a respite from the bustling streets but also a symphony of flavors that resonate with the community around it.

Upon entering, you're greeted by the tantalizing aroma of freshly ground coffee and baked goods, creating an inviting atmosphere that encourages you to linger just a little longer. The decor is cozy yet vibrant, making it an ideal spot for a casual meet-up with friends or a serene moment of solitude with a good book.

Bay Leaf Cafe excels in crafting superior coffee and artisanal bites that leave you craving more. Customer favorites include the utterly scrumptious bacon and egg sandwich—perfectly crispy bacon paired with two runny yolks nestled in fresh bread, which promises to tantalize your taste buds with each delicious bite. As one of our patrons, Tammy Hall, enthusiastically shared, "It was divine! The sandwich was made to order." And let's not overlook the array of luscious cakes on offer, each slice a little piece of heaven that speaks volumes of skill and passion evident in the baking.

The menu isn’t just about their standout sandwiches; you’ll find a variety of superb platters as well, which Ann Barwis raves about as "amazing" and always delivered on time. With a friendly and attentive team, particularly Leon and his crew, the service here is commendably efficient yet personable, ensuring you feel like a valued guest rather than just another order. Brian Payne reflects this experience beautifully, remarking on the “wonderful local, independent cafe” vibe that sets Bay Leaf apart from the more corporate chain across the street.

For those in need of a caffeine fix while staying connected, free Wi-Fi is available, letting you enjoy their excellent coffee alongside a brisk work session or a leisurely catch-up with friends. Hugh Scott’s mention of a "great Sausage Sandwich and Superb Coffee" highlights the cafe’s commitment to quality that beckons from the first sip to the last crumb.

So, whether you’re seeking a cozy spot to enjoy a slice of cake with your coffee, or a hearty meal that fills both belly and soul, Bay Leaf Cafe stands ready to welcome you with open arms and a menu crafted from the finest ingredients. Don't just take our word for it; step inside and experience the vibrant essence of this community gem for yourself!

I've been in a few times for takeaway coffee and cake, it's always busy and the staff are always friendly. And the cake is lush! Today I had more time on my hands, so ordered a bacon and egg sandwich, with my coffee. It was divine! The sandwich was made to order. The bacon was perfectly crisp, two eggs, one in each half and both yolks were deliciously runny! It filled a hole in my belly and a hole in my soul! I'll definitely come back for food next time I'm in Worthing.

Wonderful local, independent cafe - friendly, great service from Leon and his crew witth good coffee and food at a reasonble price. If you prefer the transactional, pricier, anonymous cafe there's a brand place just across the road.
