Good coffee, but no options for coeliac's. The gluten free cake was stored right next to normal cake, no separation, so high risk of cross contamination. If you are going to offer GF please consider this.

Excellent coffee, food and service. We had a tuna n cheese toastie and a cracking sausage roll. There was a good spread of food options and hot n cold drinks. There's a couple of seats inside and plenty outside, in their own space. The gallery next door is also worth a visit.

Didn’t managed to try it today as there is only outdoor seating and it was a bit too hot at lunch time. The menu looks good. Would love to try to crab sandwich. It has a really good rating so bet the foods and drinks are nice. Car car is £1 / hour or park your car five minutes walk away free off street. Will try it before we leave Bosham.

As destinations or waypoints on a bike ride go, Bosham must rank up there as one of the quaintest, perfectly English seaside towns there is. Nestled just west of Chichester, in Chichester harbour, it’s a haven of tranquility and escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life. With a sailing club and a waterway that’s very tidal, the coastal scene can be very different every time you visit and changes hour to hour. And on a sunny, clear day you can spend hours just watching the world go by, albeit at a wonderful seductive relaxed and calm pace. Befitting the small and quaint nature of Bosham, Pop !n is nestled on the road as you arrive into Bosham, and is neighbours with the local art studio. It’s not the biggest cafe stop, with standing room only inside, but for what it lacks in internal space it certainly makes up for with its offering. There a small rack for 3-6 bikes, although there plenty of outside space for bikes so that wouldn’t be the deal-breaker of you were a larger group. Pop !n is owned by the locally critically acclaimed Millstream Hotel and their eco-credentials are also very visible with a very conscious effort to provide a sustainable service. The excellent coffee is supplied by Edgcumb near Ford in Sussex, whilst the cakes are supplied by the Millstream Hotel and restaurant situated about 100 meters away. It’s a perfect combination! We caught it on a perfect October morning with the sun having fought its way through the clouds that gave us the perfect opportunity to sit outside and enjoy the tranquility of life in the village along with some of the best coffee and cake money can buy. The coffee, as expected, was top notch, and I even got my preferred Oat Milk which was another welcome bonus, and the cakes and croissant were simply delicious. The 2 members of staff were warm and welcoming and seemed delighted by our visit. We were even told that we were “exactly the kind of visitors they wanted” which scores even more bonus points from us. It was music to our ears and we were very happy to be there. The biggest issue for us was leaving. It was quite a wrench and we could quite easily have stayed for more coffee and cake, although the grind back up to Farnham might have seemed a little tougher if we had. Whilst the weather undoudetedly helped, there’s not much more you can possibly say when you are welcomed and served in such a wonderful way, in such a wonderful spot, in such a wonderful archetypal English seaside village. Like a magnet I can definitely feel being drawn back for more, and we will be back, of that I am sure.

Been here a couple of times and always had excellent coffee and excellent customer service. I was here on Saturday at the same time as Jacquie Howell (posted below). I can safely say she was one of the most rude people I have met and her behaviour was totally unwarranted. Don't take any notice of her 1* review; it was 5* from me; and if you want a delicious coffee and cake in bosham, pop in to pop-in!

Popped into Bosham for a walk around & some fresh air when we came across Pop-In…& thank goodness we did! We were welcomed by a lovely lady who managed the place, she chatted through our coffee & food order & delivered the most amazing coffee…the temperature was perfect, the size was perfect, the coffee was out of this world (but we know where she was trained so no surprise there at all )…We also opted for a sausage roll to share because in all honesty it spoke to us in all of its porky, cheesy, pastry goodness & that didn’t disappoint either!! We have been back since & the coffee was as good as the first time…An amazing little coffee shop, wonderful staff & consistently delicious coffee! (PS: Thank you for your help, advice & recommendations )

What a little gem wonderful service from a lady who knows her coffee. Great sausage rolls and pasty first class. The lady has the patience of a Saint with a elderly gentleman who popped in, giving him time to ask every question possible, responding in a lovely manner and with a smile. Will definitely be back for great food coffee and service

I've been on holiday in the area for a week and have eaten many places including some well known and rather expensive establishments. I can say hand on heart that this was the best food I've eaten so far on this trip. The chicken, smoked bacon, leek and tarragon pastry was excellent with lots of filling, lots of flavour and the pastry was wonderfully light. The carrot and walnut cake was also perfect and I can't wait to eat the Gloucester Old Spot and apple sausage roll I bought to take away. On top of this, perfect service with a smile and excellent value.
