Cafe on the Park

chichester takes its coffee quietly. there's no dense concentration of specialty spots here, which means the good ones matter more, and cafe on the park, sitting at the festival theatre on oaklands way, is one you'd be glad to find. it functions within a proper arts venue, which gives it a rhythm that most standalone cafes don't have: pre-show crowds, mid-morning calm, the particular kind of focus that comes from people who are somewhere for a reason. the reviews back this up consistently and warmly. if you're spending a day around the oaklands way end of the city, it earns a proper stop, not just a convenient one. start with whatever's hot.
