Number 24

You're sitting on Worthing's main drag with a coffee that's been treated with actual respect, watching the promenade bustle past. Number 24 has the kind of casual confidence that comes from knowing exactly what it does well—seasonal brunch plates, solid espresso drinks, the sort of place where locals genuinely choose to spend their Saturday morning rather than just passing through. It's unpretentious without trying, the sort of café that works just as well for a solo coffee and the papers as it does when mates turn up and you end up lingering for hours.
