Bake Out

It's a pretty good bakery. Vast improvement over the Forfars that used to exist here many years ago. Pastries, desserts, toasties, coffee, bread loafs, etc etc, everything you would expect. All of a high quality, although a little pricey. There is some seating and the interior is pleasant enough, but I can easily imagine it filling up at lunch time.

Last Friday there was a lovely guy serving, however this Friday I left without even ordering!! Two female staff members were totally ignorant and extremely rude!!!! The whole shop had a completely unwelcoming feel, was colder inside than outside the shop, even in November 😬

But the sandwich shop across the road were more than helpful and friendly, they warmed up the girls sausage rolls and even took the time to speak to my daughters.

The cheese straws are the best I have ever tasted. Great range of sandwiches, pastries and fresh bread too. Always friendly and inviting.

Staff are amazing here feels proper local and they actually value your custom the food choices are very goood from hot and cold snacks to fresh baked products and the coffee is good and strong. Quality is alot better than you would get at the major high street retailer that does similar to a bakery

I don't like leaving bad reviews but to start the staff are lovely and this is no reflection on them at all.
So we popped down to New Lancing branch, only 2 sandwich options for the meal deal neither what I like... But the husband tried the coronation chicken bread lovely but filling awful he said it should be called coronation sauce no chicken at all.
Italian panini hardly any mozzarella or rocket just a heap load of pesto so was basically a soggy pesto panini not crispy after being heated either.
Bacon roll bacon fat hadn't even touched the fryer disgusting to be fair and the heating process made the roll like chewing old boots.
I also think it's really expensive I thought the other bakers in town was pricey but this goes way above that! And for the quality I wouldn't choose to return here over there.

Cheese scones to die for.
So good I ate a second 😋
Really lovely coffee shop in Southwick, well done chaps.
I'll definitely return.

I love this place. Stevie and the staff are wonderful always happy to help, especially chilled on a Sunday morning. Cheese straws to die for! Dog friendly - people friendly! Only lost one star because coffee is a little more expensive but otherwise perfect!!

Hours state open till 4, not the case, door was unlocked etc, nothing to suggest it's closed, eventually told its closed and I explained everywhere including your door says you're open. Looked at me like I was an inconvenience and like the error was my fault. Came out to Southwick specially to visit said bakery only to be treated poorly by staff who didn't even have the decency to apologise for the error in closing times. They even still had stock on the shelves so would not have even been a hassle to serve me (maybe they wanted the produce for themselves or didn't care it would be going into a bin).

I won't attempt to supply them with business again, no matter how great my friends say their stuff is. Certainly won't be reccomending them.
