Reviews For Laughing Dog Worthing - Café & Shop

Not exclusively vegan, but there are many vegan options at this gorgeous cafe and shop, including amazing cakes. We had no trouble getting seats, and enjoyed a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. I opted for the vegan breakfast bagel which was filling and delicious. The LD vegan breakfast looked great and was thoroughly enjoyed by my partner. Whilst there I picked up some lovely eco friendly cards and gifts. It was a bonus that there was no extra charge for plant milk, and the coffee is very good. On a previous visit I had Peppy Mint tea and a slice of their vegan mango cake - it was sublime!

Stumbled in for breakfast and was blown away, it was well nice. Not a greasy spoon here, decent bread, a weird sprinkle of seeds over the top that was lovely, roasted vine tomatoes and that was just the sides. The streaky bacon and sausages were free range and you could really taste the difference. I was stuffed and happy to go bake again soon, would love to give something else ago but will just likely reorder the full English over and over. On the way out had to grab a brownie not that I was hungry but just couldn't leave without one

Reasonable prices (a bit more on the pricey side but still worth it!), healthy breakfasts and a bonus for the seed mixes that are automatically included. Love the fluffy pancakes here - this is my favourite place in Worthing for pancakes! :D

Fantastic breakfast. Probably my favourite in Worthing. Would love to know where they source their sausages from as I'd fill my fridge up with them. Service really good but as someone else has mentioned below popularity at the weekend means it can take a while for your food to arrive. They were happy to switch the eggs out for my more vegan leaning girlfriend. Breakfast tea was maybe a little fragrant for my personal taste but other than that a perfect brekkie and really well priced.

A really friendly and welcoming coffee shop/cafe. A great relaxed atmosphere with lovely staff who obviously enjoy working there and interacting with the staff. A nice selection of ever changing items for sale, from children's books, jewellery, seaside themed items and birthday and occasions cards. Delicious cakes and great coffee. Dog friendly, with a little treat for your 4 legged friends.

INCREDIBLE PANCAKES. that’s all i have to say. the pictures show it all! best pancakes i’ve ever had! portions are perfect and the toppings are insane! biscoff pancakes isn’t too sweet and taste like banoffee and the fruity one is perfectly balanced and isn’t too sour! ALSO coffee is great! service was so good when we came in today, the server was so sweet and service was speedy too! interior is also super cute! couldn’t recommend more 3

Went to celebrate my birthday at this establishment.. Really good food and the fact that pooches are welcomed indoors is a big bonus as this was our puppy's first dining experience. Really enjoyed the space and atmosphere. Staff are busy so don't expect overeager folk on your beck and call.. You order at the desk, drinks come out and your food gets served.. Saying this the staff were welcoming and friendly but some comments of unfriendly staff on the reviews was not the case here when I visited. People get treated how they want to be treated, so don't expect super high end service cos you in the wrong joint. Be nice to them and they're nice to you! Woof! They had clean surfaces, floors clean and decent menu, what else can you ask for? It is a lovely pooch friendly atmosphere, the staff are lovely and welcoming and I for one can't wait to return with my kids for their pancakes!
