Coastal Coffee Co - Bognor — Restaurant in Arun

Been wanting to try this place for a while with its local foods and sea view. Managed it this week and I have zero regrets! Was a little warm inside but sat outside looking at the sea, they had not one but two gluten free cake options…so I ordered both! The brownie won my first place but the Bakewell was a close second.
