Foxwood Cakes and Confectionery

Foxwood Cakes and Confectionery is an independent cake shop and café on Southgate in Chichester, where dogs are welcome inside for coffee, cakes and a proper sit-down pause. The display runs to pastries, confectionery and made-here bakes and there's seating for a breakfast slice or an afternoon sugar stop with the dog at your feet. Water bowls are on hand and the café sits handily between the cathedral quarter and West Street, making it a useful mid-shopping pitstop when you've both had enough of the pavements.

It opens Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m.

to 3 p.m., closed Sundays. The format is straightforward: cake-shop retail with café tables, so it's the sort of place where you can grab a flat white and a Bakewell tart while your dog supervises proceedings from the floor. No fuss, just cake and a sit-down when you need one.
