Price: Moderate•Italian•4.8(30)Welcome to La Follia Caffè, our small slice of Italy. Beautiful, seasonal ingredients and the best coffee - nestled at the foot of the rolling South Downs, amongst the mix-century world of antique and vintage shop, Lamb & Newt.
Our Cicchetti (small plates) are as big in flavour as they are small. Our hand made focaccia is sublime and the base for all our Sarnis and Toasties. If you come in time for breakfast the La Follia Brillante Breakfast Roll and freshly baked Cornetti will win your hearts.
All our food is made by us, with all the love you'd expect. Literally every piece in the cafe has had a previous life and if it's not tethered or human, is for sale. A take away might be a little more than you expected.
We'd love you to join us.

- EElyshiaLondon •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoQuite possibly the most delicious and beautiful afternoon tea I have ever had the pleasure of having! We came for my mums birthday and absolutely everything was perfect. The ladies that were serving us were so polite and nothing was too much to ask. All three of us had the sparkling wine afternoon tea and it was exquisite , lovely little trio of sandwiches, savoury sausage rolls and tarts and divine cakes. I had the gluten free afternoon tea and it was amazing. Thank you so much for a perfect afternoon and we cannot wait to come back!More infoTerra Restaurant at TottingtonPrice: Very Expensive• Farm-to-table• Henfield•4.6
