Amazing to find this little gem. As a celiac it was great to find so many gluten free options and knowledgeable staff. Full English breakfast was great. Friendly welcome and nice atmosphere. Will be back.
As a gluten free vegan I am used to turning around and leaving cafés once I have established that there is literally nothing for me to eat. Here I was spoilt for choice and served by a knowledgeable and helpful member of staff. The only criticism is that there were only two members of staff and only one having to take orders, make drinks and take money. By the time we left the place was full, despite it being a Monday lunchtime, but I suppose that's not a bad problem to have!
Lovely staff, we arrived late after a long journey and they couldn’t have been more helpful. Great for my son who has a gluten intolerance and the meals were all delicious. Can’t wait to come back!
From our very first communication they were so helpful and listened to all of my ideas for my husband's 30th cake. He has coeliac disease so I need a gluten free cake and they were happy to do this! The cake looked absolutely amazing- the star of the show for a 'death to your twenties' theme. Thank you so much!
We enjoyed lunch and breakfast (separate days!) here, whilst staying locally for our silver wedding anniversary trip. Very friendly and welcoming team, excellent service and standard of food. Good range of gluten free options available. Highly recommended!
I booked the Toby Carvery for myself and two cousins from London. I was not disappointed. It was a lovely dining experience. My cousin is gluten intolerant and the duty manager did everything possible to make sure my cousin felt safe. The chef was also extremely knowledgeable and even prepared a portion of cauliflower without the cheese sauce. The staff were all excellent and I would highly recommend dining at Toby Carvery Downlands.
I highly recommend visiting this little cafe. Glutenfree options available, Vegan available and everything we ate and drank was delicious and prepared freshly with care and creativity.
Staff were really friendly and the atmosphere is very relaxed.
The food and coffee were top drawer with loads of gluten free options.
Highly recommend!
Superb choice of cakes. Big menu with a variety of hot and cold food. Lots of gluten free options. Friendly staff. It’s annoying they aren’t open on Sundays for a breakfast! We usually get a panini or sandwich, a bit of cake and a can each - roughly comes to around £20ish.
3rd time here. Warm, welcomkng, cosy and friendly. Came with old friends. Just love the home made tortillas and dips, and the salted fried sweet potato fries. Went for sweet potato gluten free tacos. The specials tequila sunrise for delicious, I just had to have two! I managed to just about squeeze in the vegan chocolate and berry desert!
Thank you
Really nice little spot with quirky and relaxed decor. We had the veggie el diablo with fake meat and peppers and then the green goddess with added prosciutto which was gluten free.
Pizza bases were nice and cooked well. Toppings were generous too. You get truffle and chilly oil to pour on too.
Id definitely recommend this place you won't be disappointed.
One thing I would recommend the chef change about the El Diablo is reconsider what veggie sausages to put on the pizza. The current ones, which I think are Linda McCartney sausages, didn't have much flavour and didn't suite the El Diablo style. Another brand does chorizo veggie sausages that would work much better. Or swap for veggie pepperoni.
This was our second visit and unfortunately we were disappointed with the food this time. We both ordered steak. I had to get a jacket potato as chips aren't gluten free but it was the smallest potato I have ever seen. Our food wasn't hot and the butter on the steak didn't melt at all. The staff are friendly and it's a nice pub, perhaps just a bad day for the food!!
We had a very enjoyable family lunch here. The menu is varied and fairly priced. Good that fish can optionally be grilled instead of fried and new potatoes or salad are an alternative to chips. We managed to compile a decent vegetarian gluten-free meal for one of us by ordering several side dishes. My only criticism is that the service, though pleasant, was slow and lacking a spark.
Always get my curry from le Spice! Amazing for dietary needs I am gluten free and vegan and I can have lovely food adapted. The bhajis are amazing as is the coconut rice. My extended family now also uses them!
Best cafe in Worthing. Brilliant coffee always well made. Really family friendly and a great selection of food and treats to buy. It's honestly one of the only cafes I will go in in Worthing. Love it! Brilliant for gluten free as they don't charge extra for the gluten free bread or alternative milks.
Very tasty breakfast. The poached eggs were just right - running beautifully over my bacon and (gluten free!) toast, without that awful vinegar flavour you sometimes get. The avocado smash with it gave a delightful lift to the flavour. Lovely.
Service was friendly without being overbearing, and remarkably chipper for 830am without being annoying.
Cost a couple of pounds more than if I'd got my Premier Inn breakfast. I think it was well worth the extra for lovely coffee and really fresh, tasty food
So good. I went back the next day for exactly the same thing and bright friends this time!
Gluten free beers and and 90 percent gluten free food menu makes me exceptionally happy. Great live music, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Great for dates and casual hangs
Excellent! Really good food and friendly, helpful service. Staff had a good knowledge of food intolerances and half the menu could be adapted to Gluten / Dairy free.
Found this following a review in Waitrose free paper. Lovely coffee and gluten free cake options. Service very good and friendly and reasonably priced. A wide spectrum of regular customers, they are lucky to have such a nice coffee shop in their town! Would recommend!
Absoulety amazing food and atomosphere, As I'm Gluten free Amy went over and above to produce the same dishes in a gluten free option.
The Chateaubriand was just perfect and we will be definitely come back for another meal very soon.
Ordered a takeaway to collect on NYD. I chose China Palace because they indicate which food is gluten free on their menu. Food was ready on time and piping hot. Everything we ordered was delicious and I will definitely be ordering from them again. Thank you China Palace!
Had a great meal here tonight. The pizzas are great and as a Gluten free diner I am able to enjoy a GF base. I love the options of choosing the toppings to make unique pizzas. Mark the host was so welcoming and hospitable, this will definitely be a regular dining spot for us. Really recommend.
Had a lovely family dinner recently and wanted to share how kind and accommodating the staff and chef were to some of our odd food intolerances. They managed to create a wonderful dinner and i noticed there were lots of options for Gluten Free too!
Best gluten free breakfast cafe in Worthing. Sausages and hash browns are gluten free, with toast also available. Staff are very friendly and accommodating
It’s rare for me to find anywhere which does gluten free Chinese food! As a coeliac I have to be super careful. The manager took my order and told me what noodles I could have. She used a clean wok. She was knowledgable about the ingredients too. There was only one sauce I could have but it was delicious. They were so friendly and I didn’t feel like a burden asking all the questions I have to. Will definitely be coming again.
So lovely to find a cafe that caters so well for allergies and intolerances. Being dairy and gluten free I often find I have limited options and it's not a case of what I would like but what I can have. They have an extensive menu, all the sandwiches/panini's came with an option of being made gluten-free, and they were very happy to check about dairy free possibilities.
I had a prawn sandwich, you couldn't have got more filling in it you tried! My daughter was able to choose what she wanted for a cooked breakfast (usually I end up with the bits she won't eat!) and everyone's food looked delicious.
Super friendly staff, awesome service, we'll definitely be back!

Thank you for a wonderful evening! We celebrated my nephew's 18th here last night and the staff went out of their way to make the evening special. All of the food was delicious and the portions huge and great value. Almost everything on the menu was gluten free. We'll definitely be back.
Great food and drinks, and amazing service, at a reasonable price. Plenty of vegan options, and gluten free options too. I'll definitely eat here again :)
We came for my brothers 21st birthday, was very disappointing. First of all took ages to order any drinks and when two of the drinks came the lemonade tested like fizzy water, when I said to the waiter the syrup had gone he seemed very confused and then checked and said the problem has been sorted but seemed hesitant to give us other drinks and never apologised. Took ages to then order our food and waited over an hour for our food, we were only a table of 8 and there was max about 4/5 tables in there, so god knows what it would be like if it was busy. They then forgot one of our pizzas and one of the sides and then for some reason put another pizza on a gluten free base when no one asked for that. So by the time the two pizzas came and the side everyone had finished their meal. The food was so bland and then took ages to order desserts and get them, which were all so bland and boring. No one checked up on us and asked about our food and no gesture for my brothers 21st which we didn’t expect but some restaurants do. Overall, service very poor, food also very poor but it’s nicely decorated in there.
Celiac friendly
