The 43 best bakeries in Brighton

Popped in for breakfast while in Brighton and it was such a great find. The croissants are huge—really generous portions. I had the ham and cheese croissant with an oat cappuccino, and both were delicious. Lovely spot for a relaxed morning bite

Top class coffee and pastries, made on site. Very functional interior, with seating outside on the popular Sydney Street. Sadly no WiFi.

First saw this place on Instagram and really wanted the opportunity to try it. A few months after following them, I find myself in Brighton and happened to come across it, while walking past. I hadn’t originally planned to pop in but I remembered their Instagram and promptly entered the cafe. I was not disappointed! My slice of blackout cake was some of the nicest chocolate cake I’ve ever had! My hot chocolate was lovely too. Both tasted gorgeous and not sickly sweet either. They were just right! Not only was my cake amazing, but so was the service. The staff were ever so friendly and polite, which made me, as a visitor who doesn’t like to annoy locals, feel very warmly welcomed. It was the perfect way to start what turned out to be a truly wonderful day. Thank you so much! I’ll be coming back, when I’m next in town.

It's super cute and the food is great! I got a cheese and tomato croissant and it was delicious. There are also plenty of outlets inside if you need to charge your phone.

The flat white was good but unfortunately the carrot cake was just too sweet and the frosting was chantilly cream instead of regular cream cheese, I couldn’t finish it. Good location and professional service.

What a lovely cafe. I often pop in for a cuppa and pastry. The amazing staff are so friendly, food is great and the store is always clean and tidy. One of my favorite stops when shopping in the North Lanes. Keep up the amazing work and I will be back soon.

Amazing food- recommend the brie and beetroot chutney sandwich- and great coffee. Lovely!

This cafe has a charming vibe, but overall it was a bit underwhelming. The macarons are hit or miss – most were just okay, but the rose-flavored one stood out as something a little different and surprisingly nice. Unfortunately, the croissants didn’t impress – a bit dry and lacking that buttery flakiness you'd expect. The space itself is quite small and tends to get crowded, which makes it hard to relax or find a seat. It’s worth popping in if you're curious about their more unique flavors, but it might not become your go-to spot.

Lovely cafe, excellent table service and very dog friendly (bowl and treats appeared as soon as we entered). Cakes were very nice and fresh. Coffee under priced and over delivered in flavour. So absolutely 5*!

Every time we visit all the food is absolutely impeccable! Tasty, fresh and it also has the bonus of looking just picture perfect. Would highly recommend! Also, the staff is very nice, friendly and attentive. Always welcoming you with some sample to try!

Such a lovely café with the most delicious croissants, cakes, and macarons! The Brighton branch has a cozy and inviting atmosphere, and the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. Everything is beautifully presented and tastes amazing. Highly recommend for a delightful treat!

We tried several products in the cafe which were all well-made and tasty. We also brought some home and ate them the next day which still kept very good quality. Highly recommended!!!

I don’t usually go to dessert cafés, so take this with a pinch of salt — but I really enjoyed it here. The croissant was crispy, the chocolate macaron sweet but not too much, and the chocolate cake had a tasty biscuit base. Nice spot for a treat.

We took some desserts to go – the macarons were good, but the lemon tart had a very firm top layer, unlike the delicate texture you’d expect from a proper French pâtisserie. I’m also deducting a point for hygiene: when packing the cutlery, a staff member touched the spoon by the part that goes into the mouth. Could you please ensure better sanitary practices?

Good food but be very careful about the huge price difference between take away £4 and stay in for the exaggerated price of £8.20!! That's more than 200% really?

The baked goods here in Hove are excellent, but the place needs more attention to cleanliness. It’s a very old, tiny wooden café that feels stuck in the past, with outdated tools and equipment. The way the food is displayed, the look of the place, and even the staff’s clothing don’t give a good impression. At one point, I even saw the chef holding the dough against his chest, which was pretty off-putting. Tasty food, yes, but the hygiene is far below basic standards, which ruins the experience.

Nice food but when your paying £6.80 for a slice of cake and £6 for a pot of tea it became a problem, not value for money and service is not great, I was almost expecting to pay for the tap water. Avoid!

One thing I can’t handle myself is my love for bakery 😅. Passed by this place when grabbing fish & chips and enjoyed it at beach. Then had delicious ice cream but my mind was stuck for bakery. Any how been back, grab some stuff and move on. Service wasn’t that good but the bakery stuff was.

AVOID..miserable service without eye contact or a hint of warmth or welcoming. I paid just under a tenner for a stale biscuit that had been sat out all day (along with pretty much everything else) and a pot of mediocre tea. The place was in need of a serious clean and had an overall vibe of nobody really caring anymore. Spend your money elsewhere.

Fabulous selection of bakery items and drinks. Baker and his daughter both very happy to discuss my sourdough challenges. Will definitely visit again when in the area.

Came across by accident as we walked into Brighton from Hove and were enticed by the trolleys full of pastries in the window. Popped in for a coffee and spotted all the lovely cakes. Great range pastries, cakes and bread. Would definitely recommend. My only regret is that I had to choose!

There are lots of delicious looking sweet treats here. I ordered an almond croissant but the pastry was soggy and seemed like yesterday's leftovers unfortunately; definitely not what I'd expect from a patisserie. The coffee is not barista level coffee, it tasted more like a button pressing coffee machine. It was really busy though so perhaps it was an off day.

I ordered the vanilla and wild berry cake for inscribed for a birthday. It went down so well! A great alternative to a traditional sponge or fruit cake. Thank you. I highly recommend this

I was the biggest Real Patisserie fan over the pandemic, but it seems like the quality of their products/service really dropped over the last year or so. Nothing tastes fresh or looks as exquisite as before. Variety and seasonal desserts were one of my favourite things about them, but that not to be seen in any of their places anymore. Also croissants taste nothing like they used to.

Amazing frittata !! 😋😋😋 2 flavours, all good, full of vegetables , definitely special. Good pastry shop, I'll come back everytime I visited Brighton also recommend it to my friends : )

Customer service very poor the girl behind the counter she had blue eyes. She’s very rude. I was watching how she throw the food to the customer. It’s very very very bad. It’s a shame nice local place like that. I hope she get the message and she changed to the better with a customer many thanks

A delight for your eyes and tastebuds a must visit every time I come to Brighton. Thank you to you all at Real Patisserie ❤️

Please please keep the hazelnut pain au chocolat on permanently. It is the standout amongst the many exquisite treats at RP

Absolutely delicious pastries! There was quite the line in the morning (understandably so), so I had plenty of time to choose what I wanted. Went for an almond pastry with raspberries and it was divine. The coffee was also great and refreshing!

They bake everything on-site daily, with a huge range of breads and sweet treats. The aroma floods the street when they’re working late at night. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. It's a great place to grab a coffee and a pastry, or to stock up on fresh bread. Indoor seating is limited, but this is more of a grab-and-go kinda place. I love getting breakfast from here before going to uni. Also, prices are slightly above average, but the quality justifies the cost in my opinion. Overall, Open Bakery is a fantastic bakery in Kemptown. They offer delicious baked goods, a welcoming atmosphere, and a true taste of artisan baking. I’m so lucky to live next to this place, highly recommend!

Very busy in the early morning. Definitely the best neighbourhood bakery there. Coffee is also good👍.

The best bakery in Brighton. Absolutely wonderful! Gooseberry tart with pastry made in heaven! Focaccia with giant green olives and a dash of lemon sublime. Sweet or savoury all utterly delicious. Don't go when you're hungry! 😋

Delicious birthday cakes and tarts, staff are friendly, kind and helpful. I highly recommend this place

One of the best bakeries I've been too, seriously! The staff were very courteous and helpful. Food selection was lovely and there were quite a lot of vegetarian options. I only eat Halal meat so I got all the 3 kinds of vegetarian quiches. Absolutely loved them all! The pistachio raspberry cakes were worth the calories! Highly recommend when in Brighton 🙌

Whenever I stay Brighton, I visit Open Bakery in Kemptown on a daily basis. My breakfast of choice is a small tea (made nice and strong, with the teabag left in) and a cinnamon twirl. Like all the items I’ve tried, these are absolutely superb. If you like a cinnamon twirl, this is the ultimate - supermarket versions just don’t compare. While I’m being served I am often tempted by one of the cakes on display. On my latest visit I tried an almond bite (moist, buttery and delicious), a rum canele (absolutely divine) and a vegan tiramisu cake (rich and tasty). Everything looks so good, it’s hard to choose! The staff are always friendly and welcoming and make time to chat, even though the bakery is often busy. They never make you feel rushed and are helpful and polite. Open Bakery is one of my favourite things about Brighton. I highly recommend a visit and guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Massively overpriced bakery. £4.80 for a chocolate donut- when I asked £4:80 ?? She said with a bad attitude “ yes it comes from Greece “ what it was made there and was flown over ??!!!

Dry, tasteless, overpriced, mass produced cake. Mostly air. Tea given to me with bag half falling out and dripping on the counter. Distracted service, not taken to where to pay automatically without asking cause staff too busy chatting. Only good part was the seating outside, wish other cafes here had more seating instead.

Huge variety of delicious baked goods! I had a gozleme which was fantastic, as was the coffee. Reasonably priced and very friendly staff.

The two women serving were both very dismissive and rude. We wonder if it was because we were speaking Turkish – which would be especially disappointing, given that we also have Greek heritage. While we were simply trying to choose from the selection, they constantly bickered and pressured us, and it even felt like they were commenting about us between orders. When we ordered two desserts, two coffees, and a juice, they claimed they had no trays, placed loose spoons on the boxes, and when the spoons inevitably dropped on the way to the table, they refused to replace them.

Ignore any bad reviews! I’m fussy, and this is the best coffee you’ll have in Brighton. Coolest staff and so many options for Greek food and cakes. The absolute best :)

Just moved to the area and me and the wife decided to go and try a cake. Some of the cakes have names that I haven't heard of before. A young man with light hair and blue eyes was serving and i asked him what was inside one of cakes and he said does it say what the cake is at the front of glass with a bad attitide. I said yes but I have never heard of this cake and wanted to know what was inside. My partner said we should leave she also found this extremely rude. Seems to be a problem with attitude in this place luckily there are so many other cake and coffee places in seven dials. If I was the manager there I would seriously look into employing friendly staff who have a passion for food not just a pay check.

Cakes were good, but in a take away plastic container even when you're sitting down. For £4.50 I'd expect a plate!

I could not recommend this place enough if you’re treating yourself or a loved one to a fancy meal. I went last weekend for the first time in maybe 7 years (I’m not local to Brighton). All my past visits have been 10/10. I was hesitant that, like many things nowadays, the food would be lower quality and more expensive. I was absolutely wrong. We ordered the tapas for two people and then a few sharer bits, and literally stared at each other wide eyed with each bite we took. There is not one thing I could fault (as a Northener, I have to mentioned that their chips are possibly the best I’ve ever eaten). Staff were wonderful and friendly, and the decor has recently been updated so nothing but great vibes. I’ll definitely be back!

The food was INCREDIBLE. I don’t think I’ve eaten that well in a restaurant in years. The restaurant was nicely decorated with a nice ambiance. The servers were really kind, they did forget to send in our order, but when it did came it was well worth the wait and they gave us the entrees for free. All in all, it’s a spectacular restaurant, and I’m debating spending my vacations in Brighton only to go eat there :)

Chose to celebrate our anniversary here as my partner is vegetarian, and as a meat eater cannot recommend this place enough. We opted for the sharing tapas, with a couple of extra starters, amd all were delicious. Service was also top notch and we will definitely be eating here again. Highly recommended.

Superb food throughout and lovely service. We had the tapas. As omnivores we couldn’t believe just how tasty every course was. Y wife in particular wasn’t sure they’d be able to accommodate her dairy and gluten intolerances but it was clear they had no problem at all. Indeed, her slightly adjusted menu may have been even better (delicious sesame crisp). Great wine selection too!

This restaurant is a family favourite of ours. The staff are really friendly and make you feel so welcome. I am GF and there were loads of options for me too which is rare with vegetarian food. I was the only vegetarian out of 8 of us yet everyone commented on how tasty and different the menus is compared to other vegetarian food, so much variety. I recommend a visit.

Went for Octoberbest, blown away by the food and the service! Great with gluten free options and the food was some of the most exciting I’ve ever had - really punchy fish and chip flavours, lush aubergine and very impressive tofu

Went for a meal with a group of 7 friends. Had the set tapas menu and it was absolutely delicious! Perfect amount and selection - favourites were the harissa and hummus and the smoked tofu. Service was great too. Very friendly waiting staff, attentive and efficient. Would definitely recommend!

The cake was not the same as ordered. I am very disappointed. I have bought cakes from this shop 2 times already, this time I am not very impressed. The service is very bad. There is no message confirming the order until I ask. The after-sales service is also very bad. A person named Hannah You speak very badly. Irresponsible, doesn't communicate well with customers If anyone is looking for a cake, I recommend going to another shop.

Very disappointed with the appearance of the advertised cake versus the delivered cake. For reference, I have uploaded two photos. The first image is of the delivered cake upon arrival. The Coco-Cola cake image is from Angel Food Bakery's website. I ordered the Photo/Image Layer Cake. The design of the cake on the website would have been perfect, and, to an extent, what I was expecting. However, the delivered cake is a poor attempt of what's depicted on Angel Food Bakery's website - no drips, multicolored sprinkles, and plain buttercream used in spades versus the high degree of colour shown online. In addition, the colours in the printed icing have bled. It looks as if the cake has gotten wet. It has not been cut yet, so I cannot review the taste or texture. Angel Food Bakery, please either improve the descriptions of your products (including photos), or improve your execution. This order has made a rather disappointing birthday cake. Update: the birthday person enjoyed the taste of the cake itself and the rainbow colours were very bright.

Ordered a vegan red velvet Photo/Image Layer Cake to serve 20-30 and was absolutely pleased with it. Communication with the team was made via email, text, and call, and at no point were there any issues - the only problem was that the cake looked so delicious we never got a photo before finishing it! But I wouldn't hesitate to order from them again. They seem very accommodating and personable, the cake was gorgeously decorated, the photo image print was great quality, and the taste - my god! - totally scrumptious. Really, so tasty.

Hannah and the team at Angel food bakery did a fantastic job on our rustic wedding cake. The brief was absolutely met and tied in really nice with the theme of our wedding. The cake and icing were also delicious! Thank so much!

A big thank you to everyone and Angel Food Bakery for the wonderful photo image Birthday lemon drizzle cake. We had a great customer experience and everyone at our party commented on how lovely the cake was.. both to look at and to eat, which it was, completely.. 😊

Amazing cake, thank you! I ordered vegan birthday cake and it was divine. It was very easy to make an order, choose delivery date and simply pay. I did call few times to check if cake was coming, as it was my first ever cake order, and staff were always very friendly and helpful. I ordered lemon flavour, and although sponge could have been more lemony, it was still a very good sponge. We are still eating it after a day, delicious 😏

Ordered a mix of vegan and ' normal' cupcakes. They were absolutely delicious and so beautifully decorated. Fantastic customer service keeping me updated on approximate time of delivery. Cannot speak highly enough about this company! Highly recommend that you use them for any special occasion!

Popped into Cloud 9 today and the choice of cake and baked goods was just amazing, almost too hard to pick! Settled on the rainbow cake which was delicious and a lovely cup of tea. Beautiful little place and looking forward to my next visit.

Ordered the vegan unicorn birthday cake with rainbow sponge over the phone for collection. The guy who took the order was so helpful, polite and patient. On collection the lady who served me was very welcoming and thorough in preparing the cake for transportation. Also very helpful. The cake was AMAZING and my American niece absolutely loved the look and taste of the cake and so did all the adults. A massive THANK YOU to all the team at Cloud 9.

We were recommended Cloud 9 for our wedding cake. Being both D&D fans we had a very special cake in mind and what the team at Cloud 9 created was beyond our expectations. Cake was delicious and deligghted all our guests. Friendly and professional team, met beforehand and helped us choose flavours and make a great design.

The atmosphere, vibe all great.. Amazing place for ice creams, coffees, cakes, milk shakes... tried their Belgian shake and Belgian chocolate ice cream.. and I have to say its marvellous.. the service is also excellent

We ordered a beautiful vegan buttercream cake for our wedding and we were SO happy with it, and tasted amazing. Definitely recommend!

I call Cloud 9 to order a bespoke birthday cake. I’d left it very late giving them only two day to make it, they told me it would be ready Friday 3pm. I ordered a Victoria Sponge with a picture of my girlfriend’s little Mini Cooper on the top. It was ready as promised, the cake it was tasty and moist and everyone loved it. Thanks you cloud 9 team, I’ll happily recommend you to family and friends. 👍

Cloud 9 made our wedding cake and it was perfect! Knowing how good the regular cakes are from Cloud 9, we knew we wanted them to make our wedding cake too. The process was super simple, we went into store and chatted with one of the team who took us through all the options and discussed our preferences. We agreed there and then what we would go for and shared a few photos for inspo. The cake was delivered to the venue on the morning of the wedding and we couldn't have been happier. It looked exactly as we asked, and tasted even better! Thank you Cloud 9 team, it was amazing!

I am happy to give maximum points for this experience.

Thank you so much!! lovely experience and amazing taste ❤️‍🔥 stuff and a head barista are melted my heart 😇 will definitely come again xx

**Aka as middle class Greggs** Go to Puck around the corner as their coffee is aces and doesn’t cost £4. Gails is over priced, the service is rubbish and most of their food is stale & dry.

I usually enjoy the food and drinks at Gail’s, but the service at this branch is consistently poor. Staff often ignore customers and make you feel like an inconvenience for simply walking in. It’s an unwelcoming experience, and unfortunately not worth the visit. I’d recommend trying a different branch or another nearby coffee shop. Disappointing, would avoid this location.

Same style decoration as other Gail’s locations, clean, food well displayed, little coffee location ☕️ There are few little tables inside to enjoy your coffee and food. Quick service as normally in a Gail place. Good quality of bread. You can use their loyalty program, so you get a free coffee after 9 stamps.on the pricey side though.

I was excited when this came to Seven Dials. It is a a franchise and the staff have rather pushy sales tactics though "that is such a small sandwich you need another!" It's also set up in a way to make you feel corralled into purchasing. The prices are in very small print, I think they arrogantly think money is no object to customers. I was charged £19 for 2 sandwiches and a small salad at the checkout. Needless to say I did not buy said items and left. The store was also closing in 10 minutes and the food would have been thrown away! The fact they bake throughout the day means they bake more than they need and are discarding food, creating more waste and you as a customer are absorbing this cost. If you want to be looked down uppon as a consumer do come here.

Another new bakery is an addition to Seven Dials. A reliable chain bakery with delicious cakes and breads and good coffee. It can be hard to get a table. So not a place to linger long. Probably the best hot cross buns in Brighton!

Great ambience, beautiful place, coffee is good too, and the baristas might all stunning, just unfortunately totally unfriendly and impolite. Don't smile, don't say hello or goodbye and everytime you talk to them it seems like you're bothering them. What a shame, the place does look great. Also food is very sparse and you can't expect a lot of choice. Main issue is the bad vibes from the people working there though.

Nice space, nice coffee but disappointing service. The staff are happy and smiley when they're chatting amongst themselves but when they have to face a customer there's no 'hello', 'please', 'thankyous' just a dead eyed look - and today, service in silence. I assumed it was just a bad day on my first and second visit but having been again is clearly the norm here. Today was my last visit. There's plenty of better options nearby.

Cute café in central Brighton. Convenient location. Outdoor seating available when it’s nice weather. Ordered a Chai latte and it was lovely.

I don’t get why some places over ranked by some people. They’re so organic that they don’t care about hygiene you can experience that the very organic laminate cups used by several customers. If you try to order star doesn’t care customer over their personal conversation so they’re so organic too. There is only one thing that front of the shop receives good sunshine. I don’t recommend if you don’t have any other choice.

Went in for a quick coffee and greeted by Ellie who went on to make me the perfect iced coffee.. with the perfect friendly service.. and ran after me with my bag I left behind.. Ellie is definitely a credit you!!

Lovely little café. I often stop here for espresso and a pastry if I'm in this part of town. The staff have always been very friendly and attentive. I love to sit outside and people watch. Well recommended :)

Really nice coffee, and very helpful staff. Would definitely recommend! Very clean, excellent hygiene.

Had a chicken jalfrezi pie/pasty before driving back to London. Genuinely is the best pie I have ever had with massive chunks of chicken packed into soft pastry with a spicy, but not too hot, sauce. Delicious and great value for money.

Wow! Just picked up a Jalfrezi pasty from the bakery today. Can't believe I have lived in Patcham for 2 years and this is my first time. Couldn't reccomend more.

Best bakery there is, sausage rolls are to die for. those jam donuts too are just incredible.

Bought a Viennese whirl which was filled with a grainy sugar inedible buttercream, sandwiched between 2 under cooked foul tasting Viennese biscuits which we couldn’t eat. We also bought some pies which were below average. The standard of cooking is very outdated and the presentation is rather sloppy but bottom line it just didn’t taste nice at all and we ended up throwing in the bin 👎

If you have memories of what a bakery smells like, feels like and looks like from the time when it didn’t have to be trendy, expensive or modern then this is where you need to go. The bread is fantastic and the baked goods will make you dribble with anticipation. When these places are gone I just hope you took the time to seek them out and experienced the utter enjoyment of real life no nonsense unbelievably good baked goods and bread. My heart sings every time I visit.

This is a lovely small old fashioned bakery - a real little gem that I discovered on my walk. The sausage rolls were absolutely superb, and the two crusty bread rolls were delicious too.

The rudest women Iv come across along with the worst customer service skills known to man. They have made comments such as “can you be bothered to make this” and god forbid if you ask them a question you will get nothing but bad manners and rudeness in return. It’s quite unbelievable. You wouldn’t ever think we are paying customers. It’s clear they do not want to be there so it’s probably time to pack it in ladies. Also a word of advice: Treat people how you want to be treated yourself. It must be exhausting being so miserable all day.

Attended a bread-making course this evening which was fantastic. Learned a ton about baking in general and where I was going wrong before, just needed to trust the process 😅 brilliant evening and now I have plenty of tasty bread to keep me going for the week 🙌 thanks so much

I attended a workshop led by Paula.We baked Simits.They were delicious and the whole experience was wonderful.Paula is a great and patient teacher!

Just went to a superb workshop making bagels and pretzels, would highly recommend!

Second purchase at the Stoneham Bakehouse - how can I buy from the supermarket again, this place has completely spoiled me! And thank you to the lovely ladies in-store today; makes this place even more special 💗

I attended a wonderful cinnamon and cardamom bun workshop here for a work away day. It was so much fun and Simon made the whole experience really enjoyable and engaging for everyone. This is a fantastic, community-minded organisation and, most importantly, their baked goods are delicious!

There's a broad range of bread to choose from and the cardamon buns are a treat I'm always happy to have indulged in. Their bagels would be a breakfast sensation, if I could resist finishing them by then. Arrive early to avoid disappointment; this is a rightfully popular bakery.

As a first time customer I was warmly greeted - friendly staff, knowledgable of their produce. Delicious bread, and cinnamon pastry. Choice of bagels looked good too. Will return!

Ordered a birthday cake, Tiramisu flavour...so good!! Everyone loved it and would definitely order again.

I am so happy I have found this bakery! Your Gluten Free products are simply amazing, the seeded bread and rolls are the best ever. The chocolate cake is of very high quality, you wouldn’t know it was GF. Thank you so much for your local delivery service and your outstanding customer service. From now on you are my No1 bakery!

Very disappointed!, given 2 stars only because the sourdough bread was good but the Chocolate Raspberry Ganache is big let down. Very dry crumbly not moist at all.. Not enough raspberry. The other items had no end of date or storage details. Had to send emails to get information as no one answers the phone. Will not be ordering again.

This company markets some of their bread as sourdough but it’s fake sourdough. Similar to supermarkets, they add in a small amount of sourdough starter (so they can justify calling it sourdough) but rely mainly on adding yeast for a fast rise. Real sourdough need proofing for 24-48 hours which gives it the distinctive tangy taste and makes it more digestible for people with gut issues. Sadly local business lap up the ‘artisan bread’ branding and market it on as sourdough themselves for their £15 brunches (It’s likely sold cheaper than real sourdough). Unfortunately it’s an unregulated industry, but I won’t be returning to the two local cafes that use this brand. I encourage ethical local businesses to buy from real bakers like flour pot and real patisserie.

Been ordering from here commercially for a couple of years. Wonderful selection of breads including gluten free. Our delivery driver Patrick is always happy, very friendly, boost you up early in the morning

I ended up with 3 occasion cakes for my birthday from Coburn and Baker, they were all amazing...looked so professional and the taste and quality was something else. All my friends and family loved them too. Highly recommend.

Great bakery, will buy again. Currently using delivery service. Also, our children love the breads.

I was looking for some special sweet treats to have with colleagues in the office, so placed an order for vegan tiffin and choc chip / hazelnut blondie. They were both absolutely delicious and thoroughly enjoyed. The fact they were gluten free and vegan was a real bonus. Definitely recommend :)

Just bought a Berkson brownie in passing. A revelation, such quality and flavour! I can only imagine it's like encountering Michelin star food for the first time.

Ordered my husbands 40th Birthday cake here after buying some Brownies and Bakewell which were amazing. Couldn't have been happier. Husband loved the Star Wars decoration and the whole lot was gobbled up that night. Would definitely recommend and order from here again.

Sarah baked a vegan chocolate cake for my partners 40th....it was amazing! Everyone loved it and she delivered it to my door that morning personally which was a great touch....honestly the best cake I have ever had and I am not a vegan but my misses is! Would 10000% recommend Sarah for your next celebration. Thanks Sarah and I am sure we will be back for more!

AMAZING!! The cake was delicious and the texture was perfect; it was so moist and springy, you could not tell it was gf! Thank you for making my 16th birthday so special <3

Sarah’s a kitchen magician. I’ve sent her vegan bakewell & vegan bites to family (who said they were delicious) & really enjoyed a chocolate birthday cake I ordered for a friend. Recommended!

Delicious cakes and treats, highly recommend trying Berkson Bakes. Fantastic treats that also happen to be gluten free. The salted caramel brownies are truly exceptional and my whole family are now firm fans! However the quality of all the cakes is superb, from stunning Bakewell tarts, Delicious chocolate cakes, yummy lemon and poppy seed cake to name a few. In short, whatever you choose you can't go wrong!

Loved the chicken calibrase, flavours were delicious and potatoes cooked to perfection my friend had the vegan rainbow lasagna and said it was delicious too. Our server, Lukas was very polite and efficient.

Absolutely wonderful experience here, it was my friends birthday and had the most amazing meal. Pizzas were fantastic and such lush- toppings galore- they don't skimp on them 😀 Louis served us and was very attentive, engaged in conversation and took some memorable photos for us to mark the day. 10/10 on service no doubt. We will be back!

From the beginning I felt really alienated because of my allergies. I had to order via the app and was essentially refused waiter service. When I asked for waiter service I was told to wait 2 minutes and given an eye roll 😂. Did not make me feel very welcome at all... The starters were lovely. Arancini, meatballs and olives, however don't bother with the salmon salad - such a rip off for £18 same with the Chicken Calabrese. Didn't get a dessert off the children's set menu either, after paying the bill and then being offered an ice lolly we said no because we just wanted to leave... When speaking about our issues during the meal, a food runner/busser was sent to deal with us, and the 'manager on duty' kept walking past eavesdropping, he finally asked 'what our problem was' explained, to which he then argued with us he did check backs. He didn't. He argued he did it with the girl I was with from across the restaurant and I wasn't at the table, I had my daughter with me, I didn't leave that table!!! Get people to run your restaurant who actually want to be there. Don't bother, you got pizza express across the road lol!!!

We've been to Zizzi a few times over the years and although it has improved a lot since we first came, but recently our visits can be hit and miss. The time before our last was great! Fast service and great food. However, on our most recent visit, we were meet with unexpectidly slow for a mid afternoon service at a time where only a handful of tables were occupied. Drinks weren't available, then one drink was 'lost'. Only one starter came out and was consumed before the other came, which came with our meal, some 20mins+ later. The mens toilet hand drier has some ear bleeding high pitch noise that can also be heard upstairs! This latest visit has dampened our last impressions of this place and I have to drop some stars because its unfortunately never consistent. Which is a shame, because...thankfully, the food served is really flavoursome!! So If you can accept the coin-toss service then you'll enjoy it I am sure.

Everything was amazing!! Julia our waitress bent over backwards to help us…such a superstar!!! Such an enjoyable experience…will definitely return!

The food at Zizzi was absolutely amazing! Fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented. What truly made the experience unforgettable, though, was Lukas. From the moment I walked in, he went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. His warmth, attentiveness, and genuine care turned a great meal into an exceptional dining experience. Lukas is a true credit to Zizzi, and I’ll definitely be coming back thanks to his outstanding service!

We LOVED eating here! We went for dinner this evening (30/07/25) and we were blown away by the service! We did not book a table as it was a last minute decision to eat out, and luckily they had a few unreserved tables outside. Our server explained to us very early on that multiple members of staff had called in sick that day- so they were very short staffed. I said that we didn’t mind if it took a little bit longer for food to come out as we were perfectly fine sitting outside!- but even so, the food came very promptly and you wouldn’t even have known they were short staffed! The food was to an amazing standard, and all members of staff were very polite, and made sure we had everything we needed. Everyone that was on shift should be very proud! You’re all great at what you do!

Not overly impressed. Coffee was cold. Only sparkling cold drinks available at breakfast time (ironic!), no juices. The bacon/sausagemeat roll was good. The rest of the food was weak and very overpriced. The younger staff were friendly and doing their best but the more senior staff were quite rude, as if it was a hassle serving us. Outdoor seats are very close to a busy bit of road with lots of vans. Overpriced.

I’d give this place 3 and a half stars. I ordered organic scrambled eggs on sourdough with avocado and mushrooms. Scrambled eggs were a bit odd and not favourable. The rest was okay. Seemed expensive at £15.80 for the portion size. I was asked 3 times if food was ok. I couldn’t be bothered to say eggs were bland. Small space but cute. Staff were friendly. If the scramble eggs were improved it would be so much better.

Cute spot in the lanes for a hot drink and sweet treat. They had a selection of cake by the slice on offer, we enjoyed the lavender cake and almond orange cake. They have a selection of indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating allows for some nice people watching.

Overpriced. The service was excellent but we had to ask extra shots because the coffee wasn't strong enough, the toast could have been toasted further and the knives were too blunt. Also, there is not much space inside. But the place is charming and it's a lovely atmosphere.

Really small restaurant, crowded and noise due to limited space. Food... Not impressed at all but not the worst either, if you have other options try something else.

I'm giving this coffee shop the minimum because of the quality and taste of the coffee v the cost. £9.50 for two coffee's (decaf which they charge for) really really unnecessarily and ludicrously unjustifiably expensive. A bottle of water sets you back £5. Come. On.The staff and customer service was good but not at those eye watering prices. Go to Knoops opposite.

had a too good to go bag and this place exceeded expectations. staff was amazingly welcoming at the end of the day, had the best almond croissant i have ever tasted, well worth it. would definitely visit again even without the discount.

Lovely cafe with quite a varied but straightforward menu. Something for everyone. The service was a little slow getting drinks but once we'd asked they were quick to sort it. The tables outside are close together so it can feel a bit squished. We went on a Saturday morning and it was very busy. The food was lovely! Portions were generous and the quality was really good. The coffee was lovely. If you're a coffee snob, this would absolutely suit!

Visited for a coffee last year and had an amazing brew, revisiting Brighton with good friends and a serious coffee lover I thought I had knew the perfect place. We decided to stop for coffee and breakfast but sadly after a 15 minute wait the coffee finally arrived only just warm, breakfast then arrived another 15 minutes later and just as the coffee was the breakfast too had elements that were barely warm. There was seven of us and 4 of our party had breakfast with sausage, 3 out of the 4 of us left the sausage as it seemed to be not just on the cold side but also had the appearance that it hadn’t spent much time in the pan/oven. Could it just be a coincidence that the one of us that did eat the sausage ended up being violently sick that evening ? It’s not difficult to cook a sausage but as you can see from the photo the trading post do have some culinary learning to do.

The English breakfast was good. The croque monsieur was a little dry. The bread was thick and it needed a bit more bechamel and cheese. The coffee was good as was the service.

Excellent coffee, good brunch options - went for the hash, fresh and flavoursome. Latest menu attached from June 2025.

Nice place, order from the till and they're bringing the food, taste was OK, not very good but average, coffee was better though you can select from different roasts etc. Recommend

I spent 3 days in Brighton recently and ended up eating breakfast here every morning. The coffee was outstanding! The food was great too. Over 3 mornings I tried the vegan rarebit, the plant-based granola bowl and the plant-based full English (minus the falafels & houmous as I didn't fancy that for breakfast). I also got a sandwich to take away - Korean BBQ mushrooms on foccacia. Everything was freshly made, beautifully presented and absolutely delicious.

Overall good coffee, food and experience, but no WiFi is a shame as the building reduces data connectivity to rely on 4/5G only. It was a challenge to send this review or download the TP app and had to go and get a better connection.

Nice, but not sure I’d go back. It’s a lovely space with kind service, and I enjoyed the experience overall—but for the price, it didn’t quite hit. The food was good, not great. With so many options in Brighton, I’m not sure it stands out enough to return. The biggest letdown was the matcha. I asked for it extra strong, paid £2 more, and could already tell by the pale color it wasn’t high quality. Watery, diluted, and disappointing. That said, the setting is charming and the vibe is nice—it just didn’t deliver enough to justify the price.

Very cute place. Got strawberry matcha and butcher's breakfast. Butcher's breakfast was a bit too salty/peppered to my taste, but otherwise good. I'd mix up a bit more of fresh bits into it to balance it out. Wasn't crowded at all on a Friday morning, while a few other places nearby were packed.

By rating this 3 star, I’m not saying that I didn’t enjoy this. The presentation and design of this place is stunning, and I would highly recommend going if you’re looking to get a decent brunch. I just wasn’t overly impressed by the flavours or taste of the overall meal. It was all style really.

We made a last-minute stop at this cute brunch spot tucked off the main street, and it did not disappoint. The service was so friendly, and the food came out quickly. I started with the matcha lime tonic, then we shared the eggs benedict and the veggie English breakfast... both were incredible! Every component was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Honestly, one of the best brunches I’ve ever had. Would 10000% recommend!

Wow! How exciting! Everything is a fresh take on simple dishes. Get thebtiger Prawns. The sauce is to die for. Truffle potatoes Crispy and Cod so Soft and flaky! Remarkable. Cocktails and wine good. Service very very good. Highly recommend

14th September £100 total What’s in a name? The short answer is quite a lot. For reasons of happy personal circumstance it’s a question very much front of mind at the moment; I’ve been picking my way through the thorny thicket of negative onomastic association recently (a particular moniker forever reminding me of a particular Monica, for example) and contemplating the plausibility of nominative determinism (is a child with the name of an old lady destined to act like an old lady from birth?). So yes Bill, perhaps a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, but that doesn’t mean that when Mich suggested dinner at Lost in the Lanes I was able to easily set aside my initial impression we’d be eating in a coffee shop. Because that’s what it sounds like it is. Even when I went online and looked at the menu and found evidence of proper cooking in the imaginative small plates there (see: salmon pastrami with gooseberry, samphire and peas), there was something inside me bracing itself for one of those ham and cheese toasties out of a plastic wrap. But I was quickly able to shed my slightly bizarre associative complex when we got there. Because it doesn’t look like a coffee shop - even though, mind-bendingly, it also is one - to the point I’m now wondering how I’d feel having a morning pastry in there. It looks modern and chic, with lots of open space, dried flowers and single bulbs on long wires hanging from wooden beams on the ceiling, a cut-out in the wall through to the kitchen - that kind of thing. And in the flesh the menu helped too, because there were about a million things on there I wanted to eat. We eschewed the large plates entirely, as much to save room for variety as any other reason, and before long there was no room for elbows on our little circular marble tabletop; in a bout of FOMO I kept calling the waitress back to add things to our order and rather than describe them all individually my overall reflection was this: sometimes sampling lots of little things can reflect worse on the standard of cooking than if we’d just gone olives-bread-starter-main. Comparison is, of course, the thief of joy, but when Mich and I are eating smorgasbords it’s absolutely in our nature to rank each dish against one another, and unavoidably there are those that don’t quite hit the spot as well as others. Negativity bias then perhaps leaves a feeling of lesser satisfaction than if the one big main had been served with the same quality as the average across a range of tasting plates. And there really was a range of quality in what we ate, I thought. The toursi tasted like the pickling process had sucked all the life and flavour out of the veg (and having figs in there was just weird), whereas the feta cigars and that first bite of bombette were perfect. There was a fair bit of middle-of-the-road stuff too. But then speaking of negativity bias, I ordered a cheesecake when I don’t usually order dessert, and… it just wasn’t one. It was a sort of chocolate mousse (with no mention of chocolate on the menu) layered on top of a bit of cream cheese, which I tried to scrape off and salvage, and no base. I left with that annoying feeling of unsatiated, unsatisfied fullness, and lost amongst that was any memory of the stuff Lost in the Lanes had done really well.

Lovely little breakfast spot in the Brighton Lanes. Reasonably priced as well. You may need to reserve as it gets busy on a Saturday morning!

The bread I bought was burned! They said it’s the color because of the kind of flour, which wasn’t and it was burned! And taste awful So disappointed:( For not wasting we separate the burnt part as can be seen in the photo. Gail’s ! You shouldn’t sell the burnt products!

Best place in town for coffee. Kelly and her team are always so friendly and welcoming, and they make every visit a good one. The service is quick, the vibe is great, and you can tell they really care about what they do. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!

We love Gails, the food and drinks never disappoint. Highly recommend the quiche, along with the cold chocolate. For someone who doesn’t drink caffeine, it’s nice there is a fun drink on the menu for me. We also really enjoy the baked bread and purchase-able butter.

Very nice bakery. I like the pastries. I especially like the scones here. The flat white is good and the staff is nice. I appreciate the opening hours from 7am! I'll be back again tomorrow. :)

I don’t come here often enough, but when I do I always feel like I’m doing something great with my diet. They have so many beautiful fresh products, the pastries are sublime. I tend to go for the healthy lunch box meals. No1 espresso in hove! The team are also really friendly.

Got two chicken parmesan mini burgers and pistachio financiers. £20. The chicken was the smallest piece of chicken I've ever seen and carefully placed at the end of the burger to look full. There was more lettuce than chicken and that little tiny piece was super hard and inedible. I thought gail's was more expensive because of the quality but apparently was wrong. Super disappointed, never stepping foot again and telling everyone I know about the experience.

Such a lovely atmosphere and friendly faces every time I go for my lunch break at Gails Hove. The Sausage roll and hot chocolate are both personal faves and the helpful staff are a delight also. Thank you :)

I’m never disappointed when I visit a Flour Pot location and try to make a visit everytime I’m in the area. I normally frequent the Sydney street location but it was a nice change to visit the 1st Av. location this time. The atmosphere was lovely, busy but well managed and the service was really good. We purchased their farmhouse loaf, eggs, almond croissant, passionfruit danish and some coffee beans - all exceptional. Keep up the good work guys ✨

Lovely coffee stop, long queue but moves quickly. Staff super friendly! Would love to dine in next time. Was really looking forward to the Almond Croissant, but it was pretty underwhelming, dry, no filling and very chewy. The lemon meringue cookie was delicious!

What a fantastic coffee shop. Great atmosphere from 7am and the obvious regulars coming in for their usuals , reassures me that I have hit the jackpot of coffee shops for my trip to Hove. The pastries were so tempting - I went for a delicious croissant- fresh, straight from their bakery. The staff were all happy, friendly and professional- they all very much loved their jobs and working with each other. I will definitely be returning on my next trip to Hove.

The staff are always incredibly friendly and the food and coffee is exceptional. One of my favourite coffee spots to go to when I’m around Brighton and Hove.

I ordered for the first time. I found an insect inside the food. The presentation I thought was also poor compared to what I see on their adverts. After tagging them on my stories they contacted me asking for my email address and that someone would have reached out. Never heard anything since. Not ordering from you again.

Excellent assortment of lunch snacks, well presented. sausage roll recommended. Efficient service and plenty of seating inside and out. Proper tea in a china pot.

Popped in for a drink - I had a peach iced tea and my partner had iced coffee. The drinks were really tasty and they have a wide range of breads and cakes - unfortunately did not have time to try any of these although they did have vegan options! I did not use the facilities so cannot comment on them. The drinks came quickly although we did get ignored when we first came to the till to order. Would visit again because I would like to try the cakes!

Cluttered between many shops at St.James street..this is a small but beautiful and calm place... The interiors are beautiful... They serve excellent bakery cuisine along with great coffees and teas... They serve pizzas, croissants, cakes, tarts, etc ...all fresh n tasty .. coffees and teas are made with love... Coffee consists of beautiful froth... The presentation at the outlet is very appealing... Service is also good... The quality and quantity is worth the price. Planning to visit soon ..

Their Croissant is really good, we tried chocolate and pistachio Croissant and both were good. They have pizza as well, there is 4 cheese pizza, margarita pizza, vege pizza, and tuna pizza. The cappuccino and americano coffee was also good.

We now go to this little cafe up St James Street every time we visit Brighton. It's small, unassuming and humble interior belies the truly immense selection of savoury and sweet selections that awaits. I hate big thick deep crust style pizzas and yet whilst those found here, at first glance, look like that, they are instead light and fluffy, with just the right level of chewiness and delightful flavours. The choice of cakes and pastries is immense, homemade and truly delicious. The coffee is of a great pedigree and tastes just perfect. Finally, the lovely staff are friendly, engaging and helpful. A true gem.

It is such a lovely Italian place. Serves fresh baked pizza 🍕 and great Italian coffee. Every time I'm in Brighton I go there for breakfast or quick snack. Food is always lovely. Pizza there reminds me pizza we had in Rome. Would definitely recommend everyone to visit this place, if not for food at least have a look at their pizza display 😍😍😍🍕🍕

Had good experiences in the past. However today I ordered a cheese and pesto toastie and they gave me a cucumber, tomato and cheese sandwich cold, I asked if they could toast it but they said "sorry we would have to make the whole thing again"... well don't advertise it as a bloody toastie then! Just wanted a hot meal before work, not much to ask. (Reduced to 1 star as I'm now starving at work and having to carry a cold sandwich I didn't even ask for)... laughable. Was going to toast it myself when I got home but it had no cheese and was full of guacamole which I hate. I'm actually fuming.

Nice atmosphere, friendly and local. I went in just before the lunch-time rush, hoping for a bacon and cheese turnover, which sadly they did not. Instead I got a breakfast turnover, which included Sausage, Egg, Bacon and Beans. Ignore the previous reviews, they obviously relate to the previous site (front side of the station). Decor is nice with indoor and outdoor seating.

A great little bakery. Everything tastes just a little better than elsewhere. The French Pudding is dangerous, one portion and you will be hooked.

Great selection of treats. Enjoyed my sasuage roll, tea and couissants. Take away pasties for afternoon snack. Friendly staff.

Worth crossing over the station bridge for if you're ever in the area. Lovely cakes and desserts, the shortbread is delicious! Sandwiches and rolls are good too, they will make them up for you while you wait, there's a good selection of toppings and they're generous with the fillings. But definitely don't leave without a cake of some sort!

I loved going here for my lunch break, the desserts are delicious and the staff are super friendly. I know that a lot of people come from all over Hove to grab food from here so it can be quite busy around 12-1, but well worth the wait.

Always a great visit, whenever I am in Hove I make a point of visiting the bakery. Their carrot cake is just unbeatable, if you haven't tried it get yourself there. The staff are great and the bakery has a great vibe. Well worth the visit !!!

The best cake shop in Brighton! I come here regularly with my baby to enjoy an iced coffee and cake. The food is amaaazing and the staff are so lovely. The new location is honestly one of my favourite spots, it’s so peaceful and has a really relaxing atmosphere. The loaf cakes are fab 💖

Delicious brownies and cupcakes, so many to choose from! If you love chocolate then you’re in luck here. I’ll definitely be back to try other flavours next time.

I was very pleased with the team at Cielo Bakery, who provided cupcake jars for our charity event. They seem totally unfazed by my requests (vegan and "badgery") and were a pleasure to deal with. The jars themselves makes it much easier to transport the cakes and less waste, as people can more easily take them home.

I am always SO impressed by the variety of vegan options they have on offer. I've tried many of their baked goods and have never been disappointed yet - the coffee is lovely too 😁🌱

I have always loved Cielo, they do the best sweet treats ever. There isn’t a single thing on the menu that insta worth a pic on the ‘gram! Now they’re a cafe too? Could it get better, the venue is gorgeous and has loads of outside space. It’s walking distance from town and it’s totally worth it to be able to sit down and enjoy my Cielo! Amazing, can’t recommend this more highly. You should make sure you visit here if you’re coming to Brighton - even if it’s just a day trip. Their cookie pies, filled cookies and loaf cakes are stunning! It’s just a bonus that their savoury food is great too. Also imagine they do all of that AND cater for all dietaries?! Vegan AND gluten free brownies and cakes?? Could this place get any better! Thank you!

Cannot thank you enough for creating this beautiful cake for my daughter and wow how delicious it was!!! The guests were all so impressed by the look and flavour. So delicious!!!! Thank you!!!

Requested a glinda themed 8th birthday cake and couldn't be more happy! Cielo cakes always have a great quality and taste.

The Vegan almond croissant was the best croissant I've ever had (and that includes all those years before I was a Vegan). Taste, texture, size, appearance and price were top notch. Also had the Vegan the apricot tart - that was amazing too.

Absolutely stunning and Delicious, very welcoming environment 10/10 Service

Desserts that are not very sweet are so precious in the UK. The fresh strawberries and apples make a superb fruit tart that is unbeatable. By far the best dessert I've had in the UK.

This is the best place in Brighton for a good pastry and the prices are really affordable. If you are ever at the Brighton train station you need to check this place, you won't regret it

You are spoiled for choice for bakeries in Brighton but Real Patisserie comes out top! My husband regularly just goes "ohhh that was a really, really, really good eclair" weeks or months after he has had one for Real Patisserie with a wistful look in his eye. I've not had eclairs this good in the UK and we love them so much we will be serving them at our wedding :) Edit: we have since had our wedding with the eclairs. So few left over my mum was actually disappointed as I think she was hoping to live on them for a few days! Great service and really easy to communicate with. Oh and really really excellent eclairs!

Really good bakery, tasty fresh cake raspberryr &blackcurrant, pistacios crumble, melts in the mouth, richness of taste, 11/10 on my scale, I highly recommend this place 🥰🥰🥰

Fantastic pastry, helpful staff, a range of locally made preserves (jams, marmalades etc) that make excellent gifts, and really good prices.

This hotel was very nice. The good: very comfortable bed, large plush towels, free drinks on days that you choose not to have the maid in (you can still get free towels/ supplies at reception). Nice pub lounge area with great views. The less good: We had a twin room, but weren't told at reception or when booking that this was also a disabled room. No view from our room, but we didn't mind. The decor is a bit naff though, and could use an upgrade. All the cabinets etc are in excellent condition, but the colours and decor are showing their age.

A lovely hotel in a lovely setting in the Marina. Very modern and has a really nice terrace overlooking the rear of the marina. Only issues were: lighting in ceiling didn't work (we reported it but were only there 1 night) and the duvet was dirty but it was changed immediately after we let them know. A great place and would come again.

A few issues with there cleaning team, for a 4 star hotel they just need to do a bit of retraining and a checker for maid service. Front of house staff very helpful and dealt with all issues quickly. Room size was great and beautiful views 👌 We will stay there again

Brilliant hotel for a weekend in Brighton. Good location near bars and restaurants, perfect for a relaxing weekend away. During our stay we were greeted by Ibrahim on arrival. He was very friendly and accommodating during our stay. Nothing was too much trouble.

Have stayed a couple times as an emergency thing and have had parents stay multiple times while visiting me at uni. Very nice hotel, the room numbers all skip 13 which I find a lot funnier than it should be. Rooms are nice, one time there was black mould on my parent’s toilet, however staff at the desk were very apologetic and had a senior staff member resolve the issue immediately. The bar with a balcony looking over the marina is very scenic (but be careful of the seagulls), it’s been the same bartender each time I’ve been and he’s always been very friendly, will make conversation but isn’t pushy and is happy to make drinks that aren’t on the menu or will offer custom cocktails if you’re indecisive like I am. Overall, it’s a bit out of the way for Brighton but the quality is worth the short bus journey or taxi into the city

We stayed on Level 3, Room 321 (Club View) for a weekend getaway (£590 including breakfast). Overall, the experience was good, but it didn’t quite exceed my expectations. The main issue for me was the condition of the carpets. Just outside our room, the corridor carpet was quite worn with visible holes, which really let the impression down. Inside the room, there were noticeable marks on the carpet, possibly cigarette burns, near the balcony door by the lamp stand. The carpet itself showed signs of heavy wear in high-traffic areas. While the room was very clean (no complaints there), the tired flooring took away from the “feel-good” factor I was hoping for. On the positive side, breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice and attentive service for hot food. The staff throughout our stay were friendly, well-mannered, and very helpful, which was much appreciated. I travelled mostly to town by uber booking.. there and back a bus service if you so wanted is also available. Free Parking was appreciated and Level 6 gives you good access to the property. I did notice some kids dropping glass bottles on our last day from the top floor when exiting the car park so just be aware of this. ( not reported) as going home. My advice to the property manager would be to replace the carpets in both the rooms and corridor areas on levels 3 and also consider refreshing the exterior paintwork, which is starting to show signs of wear.. In my opinion makes it look a bit shabby in places and unloved. Small updates like these would really lift the overall experience to match the quality of service provided. My experience was good, but concerned this was in no way value due money at £590 due to the condition of hotel property.. with so many choice’s of hotels to stay in Brighton, I’m not sure I would recommend at this time..due to the work required to make it Luxury.

Perfect little hotel at the Brighton marina. Far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the main pier that you can have a relaxing evening and get some sleep but still close enough you can walk or take the electric railway down every day. Very comfortable beds, excellent selection of channels on TV, great customer service. Only very very minor downside was that the AC is on a timer which made the room incredibly warm overnight but we also stayed during a heat wave, wouldn't be an issue during "normal" weather and you also need to recognize this is a hotel very focused on being environmentally friendly and saving on electricity. Would definitely stay again if we ever get back to Brighton!

Although I have been to the Hotel du Vin on numerous occasions for drinks, last night was the first time I stayed there. It really is a beautiful hotel. The room was spacious and well equipped. The bathroom was glorious and the bed was so comfy. It was a haven. I would like to thank Roberto, Eddie and Rufus for their professionalism, their kindness and care. It was greatly appreciated.

Standout service - staff couldn’t be more accommodating and friendly (rare in today’s toughened economy when service is often so patchy). Stylish throughout with nice touches in the rooms. Deluxe rooms get nice bedding, ours even had a small terrace, plus large bathroom with bath and walk-in shower. A great bar too…Having seen a few alternatives in Brighton, this is far and away the best hotel choice. Very easy walking distance to the Lanes and more too. Thanks guys

What a beautiful hotel. The room was gorgeous and looked much more expensive than what we paid for. All the staff were lovely, but a particular shout out to Bella for being so accommodating, helping me with our suitcases and even bringing up plates and cutlery when we ordered in takeaway. These little touches made the stay feel extra special. We had a wonderful time here, we just wished we'd stayed for longer!

My friend and I spent the day in Brighton at the weekend and stumbled across this hotel when we were looking for somewhere quiet to have a drink. It was almost a bit too quiet - for most of our visit we were the only ones sitting inside! But we really appreciated the luxe surroundings and being able to get away from the seafront crowd. And the cocktails, served with a flourish by the fabulous Eddie, were the icing on the cake. I was especially pleased with my negroni flight, which Eddie talked me through, and I was really impressed with his skill and the effort he made to provide such a good service. I don’t know if it’s always that quiet but I’d highly recommend this place for a nice drink and I’m looking forward to going back.

I am writing this review to thank Eddie, who was a Hotel Du Vin Barman at our private family party last Saturday. He did a fantastic job looking after everyone behind the bar, and was on hand whenever we needed him. I appreciated your effort Eddie — thank you!

We had a lovely stay and our room was spacious and good facilities. It was a special occasion and we enjoyed our celebration at your hotel. We truly appreciated the lovely assistance from your reception staff namely Bella.

The staff at this hotel were so friendly and the hotel is ideally located for the beach and city centre, however AVOID ROOM ADUR. Scaffolding is currently erected around the room, which aside from impacting the aesthetic is a landing ground for pigeons and seagulls. We were awoken in the early hours by the birds jumping above our heads; it felt like someone was constantly knocking on the door. A trip that we hoped would provide some respite was actually one with a restless, constantly disturbed sleep! Such a shame. We were also twice charged for drinks we had vouchers for, so worth double checking your bills. It is a lovely hotel, but didn’t quite work out for us on this occasion.

Disgustingly expensive. £3.50 for half a dozen eggs when the same product from the same farm costs £2.50 elsewhere. £5.50 for a kilo of courgettes. Genuinely staggering and insulting that somewhere that claims to be ethical would exploit people's guilt and good nature. If you're a posh toff then I'm sure you'll love it. You're not helping the planet if the only people who can afford to shop here are the most polluting class. Horrendous. Edit: You've completely ignored the part where the same eggs from the SAME FARM are 30% cheaper elsewhere. A dozen free range organic eggs from Sainsbury's are £4.50. Your eggs are almost twice as expensive, so spare me the platitudes. If fair prices are at the heart of what you do, then stop price gouging. It would be better for the planet for you to not stock courgettes at all. Charging a ludicrous amount for vegetables doesn't erase their carbon footprint. I also note that non-organic courgettes were on sale for significantly cheaper. Presumably you are exploiting those that grew them? Nothing in the shop is good value for money. The only people who can afford to shop here are the wealthy, who pollute more than anyone by orders of magnitude. You say you'd "hate" for people to feel excluded from eating ethically, but all of your prices do exactly that. Eating ethically shouldn't have to be a matter of class but you are reinforcing that. No mind though, so long as you get to be in a co-op and feel good about yourselves. What a joke. Thankfully, there are ethical outlets in Brighton that don't engage in price-gouging. You're right in that there's a better way to shop, it's elsewhere. I will not be coming back to have a "chat" with you seeing as your response to me is filled with boring platitudes and outright lies.

This place is an institution of the North Laine and there’s a reason it’s stood the test of time. Great produce, lots and lots of vegan and gluten free products, and you can always get a tasty treat from the bakery.

Amazing store for people like organic food, Vegan and Keto. My favourite selection is chocolate, bars and snacks. All products and packages are very good quality and organic.

Amazing shop , I was blown away by such a huge selection. I bought some of the raw seaweed tapende as a treat which I'm going to try with home made bread for the new moon. . I thought the croissants were a bit expensive at £3.80 each although it was delicious staff were super busy but helpful and friendly.

The Heart of Brighton. Came here when it first opened (1971). Fantastic shop full of organic local natural goodness. Vegan & Vegetarian. Fresh fruit and veg. Wonderful bakery, and much much more. Over 60's get a 10% discount on food. Easy access. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly.

A local friend recommended this shop and I was so happy she did! I was amazed to see vegan flapjacks, cakes and brownies in the bakery section as well as vegan pizzas. I went in mainly to see the organic, natural and chemical free products, there was such an extensive range to browse, I could’ve stayed in there for hours. I left with 3x homemade coconut soaps, colloidal silver, anti bacterial spray, 3x small bottles of hand soap, mosquito spray, a flapjack, a brownie and a raspberry and almond bun. All for exactly £44.44! I will definitely be returning to this shop and I’d recommend it to everyone.

One of the best shops I have been in for gluten free foods, I would definitely recommend the gluten free and vegan bakery shelves, with freshly baked goods. I bought two of the rice and tapioca loaves and will be back for more imminently. Thank you InfinityFoods for supplying such a vast array of gluten free options.

The food selection is what should draw you in here, with fresh baked bread, a plethora of both sweet and savoury counter goodies, from cakes, to pastries, to sandwiches, tarts and salads. So fresh and ever changing, it’s one of the most broad and tastiest food selection of any cafe in Brighton. It was heaving when I visited, but the staff did their best to stay attentive and it didn’t feel stressful - which was great! The coffee was pretty good, though not out of this world, but for the food and the bustling vibe of the place, 100% worth popping in. If you like the feel of a friendly neighbourhood cafe to meet up with friends or family for a catch up, this is your spot!

Stopped here near to the end of a shopping trip for some refreshment before moving on. The indoor seating area provided a welcome respite from the throngs of people outside, and the food was every bit as good as it looked. However the seating area had a kind of basic and almost grubby appearance to it. Debris on the floor and even the tables that were clear did not seem to have been actually cleaned. Tea and cake was presented in a very lacklustre way, that I have seen done better on numerous occasions elsewhere. If you want to stop feeling hungry and thirsty then a stop here will suit your needs, but don't raise your expectations any higher than that if you want to avoid leaving disappointed.

Lovely bakery that has loads of vegan and gluten free options. It’s really cosy and in a great location. Staff could be friendlier but all in all a great find for vegan treats. I had the vegan pain au Chocolat and the almond swirl. Both delicious!

The Best Pistachio cake is with you!!! Flint Owl Bakery, I love to see the cakes before buying it, cakes have plenty of calories so they have to be good to enjoying them without the guilt! Your sourdough bread it was very good too! Next time I’ll take some cake home too 😃Excelente combination of pistachio, raspberries, chocolate and merengue you got the best cake👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I’ll be back to Brighton mostly for this delicious Pistachio cake!

Really nice bakery has amazing food and lovely, friendly staff. My partner and me had a selection of foods and every one tasted so good. Would highly recommend and will be returing

Nice bakery for a lunch break. We sat upstairs which is a bit lacking in atmosphere, but the tasty food and great coffee made up for it.

Flint owl is my go-to for an afternoon pick-me-up. Brilliant service, delicious coffee, and yummy treats. Always got a chill vibe, so you can work, read a book or meet up with a friend and be able to hear each other. There’s almost always space to sit, even when it’s busy. Love this place!

Omg, the BEST cake shop in Brighton! I can’t believe how delicious their brownies are, so much so I ended up buying 5 over my time staying in Brighton. I have to eat gluten free, and their gluten wise selection was not only really impressive but also tasted amazing! The staff were friendly and I loved the decor too. Just an overall amazing place, I’ve already recommended it to my friends and I can’t wait to come here again for some treats next time I visit Brighton :) thank you for the amazing goodies! Also bonus points for the Danny Devito cushion, that made me chuckle.

The last 3 times I’ve gone there, the Rainbow cake was stale and hard. I went last night, admittedly it was within an hour of closing, but I even asked to ensure the cake was fresh and not hard. She assured me it was soft and fluffy, but after getting home it was in fact also stale as the others were. If your speciality is cake, it should be a good quality sponge for the price of the cake pieces.

I’m very disappointed with my recent experience at Cloud 9 in Brighton. I usually order birthday cakes from Cake Box in Hove, but since that branch was closed, I decided to give Cloud 9 a try and ordered a 10-inch cake three days in advance for a special birthday celebration. Despite paying £75, the cake was unfortunately not fresh at all. It was dry and lacked the quality I was expecting, especially for such an important occasion. For that price, freshness should be a given. It felt like they were more focused on taking the order and making the sale rather than understanding how meaningful a birthday cake is for the customer. This was a big letdown on a day that should have been joyful. I won’t be ordering from Cloud 9 again, and I wouldn’t recommend them if you’re looking for a fresh, high quality cake for a special event.

Hello, Go in here regularly my partner went in today 08/08/25 my partner who is 4 months pregnant asked to use the toilet she’s was looked up and down and bluntly was told it was for customers only which is fine but just common decency I’ve worked in hospitality for 10 years never once have I refused a pregnant lady it just looks bad won’t be coming here again!

Amazing! The Oreo Milkshake was wonderful and the atmosphere was great! Owner was so friendly too :D

We used to like coming here when in Brighton, but the staff member today was unprofessional - eating on the job and poor attitude towards the customers in the shop. Was more interested in chatting with her friend than doing the job.

Lovely cosy place to enjoy a sweet snack or a drink. Had a range of coffee both hot and iced as well as vegan/dairy free options. Super friendly girl. Seating available outdoor and indoors. Beautiful and delicious cakes. Would definitely return.

Visited today for brunch. Food was delicious. So many delicious looking things to try it was hard to choose. Courtyard at the back looked quaint and appealing too. Service was very efficient, friendly and welcoming. Will return. Highly recommended.

Brilliant bakery in Lewes. Great bread and sourdough looked good too (I run my own bakery in Edinburgh!). Really delicious panini and I had a nice pot of loose leaf tea. Cakes and salads also looked delicious. We bought some organic veg from their farm for dinner. Pretty courtyard at the back where we sat in the sun. Friendly and welcoming staff. Would definitely recommend.

The loveliest cafe in Lewes, amazing coffee and extremely tasty food. Staff are always very friendly and welcoming. Couldn’t reccomend enough, I always stop by here whenever I’m in town!

I ordered a raspberry bakewell. It was amazing. It was light, crumbly, not too sweet. The raspberries just had a hint of tartness to them. I have been on the hunt for an amazing bakewell for a long time. This did not disappoint. The service was also quick and friendly.

Lovely. Spent half of the day there, with new friend’s (birds), amazing cakes and coffee.

The best bakery in Lewes and always worth a visit. Great sourdough bread and baguettes, tasty cakes, salads and really good coffee. Dine in or takeaway you won't be disappointed and the staff are all excellent too.

We have had lovely lunches here, and bought some really tasty bread to take away with us. Staff were happy to share with us the recipe for the salad that we thought was delicious.

I love their products it’s just best really nice backery 🙏

Poor bakery, never open on time and consistently close early without warning resulting in pointless trips. Would not recommend.

I like the fact that they are on the too good to go app , clean and spacious shop with friendly staff however the donuts aren’t too great even on a discount . Wasnt tasty or fresh to be honest . 1 donut is £3.99 full price which is a wow 😳. Not for me but thank you for the new experience .

We bought a berry and a salted caramel cronut. Both were delicious (although little dry even eating on the day of purchase) and the shop offers student discount.

Let's start with the positives....the staff were very friendly and helpful...both our coffees were ok...mine a black americano and my girlfriends a coffee with soya milk (no almond milk available)...the donuts though were a little dry and they seemed to have all been there for some time. We both really wish they were fresh as the taste was good, just a little dry and stale.

The doughnuts were disappointingly expensive. £26 for 9 doughnuts and 3 soft drinks!! The filling in some of them, especially the blueberry one tasted artificial. I'm not saying it was, it just had that kind of taste to it. They also had no ice cream available on the day which was a real disappointment for the end of May. There's limited inside seating and they do have a toilet, which was clean. The staff were friendly enough.

"The Zebra" 8 inch Giant Cronut Cake for our Christmas After trying their delicious baked (not fried) doughnuts in beginning of December, this time we go for their giant ones, is amazing!! In the future if needed to order a celebration cake definitely will order from Dum Dum!

Warm place, out of the cold! Staff were friendly and made for an easy transaction. Only had the one doughnut which was tasty. They also have coffee and gelato.

Great place as always. Bought a couple for lunch, the service was great and there's a load of different donuts/cronuts to try. Always a pleasure!

This place served the best doughnuts I’ve possibly ever had. The guy who served us was so nice. We asked if there was any cutlery on the off chance and he gave us some to keep if we wanted. Went above and beyond for us would recommend to everyone.

Wow had the best doughnut of my entire life here! The Dubai Chocolate doughnut is a spectacular masterpiece and I hope it stays on the menu permanently. It was chocolatey and full of pistachios, yet it was light, fluffy and not overly sweet. Glazed is dog friendly which is wonderful. Also tried their caprese panini which was delicious but could be better value for money if they added some vegan protein to it. A box of 4 doughnuts costs approximately £15. My one other feedback is to have prices on their menu and display box as there weren’t any prices written anywhere. The doughnuts could also be presented better in the display box with correct labelling of names.

Small cafe offering coffee and donuts, they had 3-4 different variety donuts on offer when I visited. I opted for the biscoff flavour which was delicious. Genuinely one of the best donuts I’ve had and very fresh. Oat milk used for drinks, not sure if other plant milks are available. Nice vibe and staff were super lovely.

The donuts were absolutely delicious! I went with a friend in my lunch break and we tried the oreo ones. I took my family on the weekend and we tried the biscoff and sprinkles ones which were also divine. The coffee was great (they had special Colombian coffee that day) and we also had the vegan sausage rolls which were really yummy. Highly recommend with kids as you can then take your coffees and donuts and head over to the Level to the park and the water fountains.

Truly NEXT LEVEL, you cannot tell that the donuts are vegan at all as the dough is so spongy and tasty. The vegan BLT stole my heart. The nicest family owns the business!

Really enjoyed my time at Glazed! Popped there in the morning, very friendly staff and management and fantastic donuts! Wouldn't have guessed they were vegan if I was just given one, I also tried the Acai bowl which was very fresh and delicious

Tried the pistachio caffè at Donna’s and honestly, it was amazing. Super creamy, not too sweet, and the coffee was spot on. Such a nice little place …can’t wait to go back! 😋

I have heard mixed things about the Flour Pot chain but always walk and past and think it looks lovely, so I decided to give it a go! The atmosphere was buzzing, being very full on a random Thursday lunchtime, people chatting, working or dining solo. It was very pleasant and the bright and airy decor made for an excellent vibe that you feel pretty comfortable in. I was seated pretty fast given how busy it was, and despite the service being a little blunt and inattentive, overall my experience with the staff was good. The coffee was great. It not only looked great with some brilliant latte art, but tasted it too. The beans and barista must both be pretty good, because I thoroughly enjoyed it. That being said, the food, especially for the rather high prices, was a let down. I ordered the Mexican Benedict, expecting an exciting and innovative take on the classic. Though the eggs were packed perfectly, the dish just lacked seasoning and excitement, and I was left very hungry after splashing out over £14. Everything was well made enough, but completely missing any wow. I followed it up with a carrot cake as a result, which was divine. Flavoursome, chunky and filled with nuts and seeds, this made me a happy boy to end my visit. All in all, there’s not much wrong about the Flour Pot, it’s a great atmosphere and lovely place to be, with outstanding coffee and alright food. There’s places in Brighton that are really worth the trip and the money, a little more so than here though. It’s defo worth a visit, but I’m undecided on whether I’ll be back or not just yet!

Overall: 63 //100pts 1. Service /greetings /friendliness/staff/cleanliness: 7 2. Ambience / Atmosphere: 8 3. Presentation / serving: 8 4. Brewing method: 6 5. Cafe Machine: quality / cleanliness / maintenance: 8 6. Crema (thickness, colour, consistency): 5 7. Texture (quality) 5 8. Body (density) 5 9. Flavor (complexity, balance): 5 10. Aroma / Nose: 6 During this visit, the staff didn’t seem particularly friendly or helpful. However, I’ve been here before and have met team members who were kind and smiling, so I know the service can be much better. The espresso had a light, bubbly crema that only formed around the edges, and the flavor was sharply citrusy and felt thin. This suggests an under-extracted shot, possibly due to uneven tamping or grind issues. It was only a medium experience.

The coffee and food are good, though nothing memorable (and overpriced). Unfortunately, the staff make you feel like you're bothering them by placing an order. I've gone four times in the past month (since it's so close) and it's like this every single time, with every person I've interacted with. It's like a clique you're on the other side of and the bored, apathetic, annoyed vibe they turn on when you get to the register is super lame. I won't go back again or recommend this cafe. Tilt is a much better experience, go there, its right around the corner.

Had waited an inordinate length of time to be shown a table while 5 members of staff stood around chatting. I had to go up to the till to get attention. My wife got fed up waiting and sat herself down at one of the many empty only to be reprimanded for not waiting to be shown to a table. This insult added to injury was the final straw and we left. Soviet style customer service. Poorly managed. Kids who’d rather natter than take the job seriously. Tilt cafe round the corner has a far better atmosphere and friendly customer service. And the coffee is better (Monmouth).

Poor service a couple weekends ago. We had an unfriendly welcome and then our cheese and tomato croissant was bought out to us fridge cold after we’d asked for it to be heated up. Cinnamon bun dry too. Coffee was a 5/10, the texture of the flat white wasn’t right. I don’t think they hire experienced staff here. Much better coffee spots in Brighton, would sooner check them out than go back to Flour Pot.

One of my favourite brunch haunts in Brighton, this place is always bustling and rightly so. Delicious brunch options, tasteful vibrant decor and a bakery where custom where customers can purchase anything from sourdough to a brioche. Recommended!

Really like the brunch food here but have been disappointed with the service every time I’ve come here. No proper welcome when you sit down, I’ve been forgotten completely and found it really hard to get the waiter/waitresses attention to order and had items that we ordered missed completely. Cake and fresh bread is amazing though and hopeful each time I come that service will improve as would take much to make this spot much better!

I had a cappuccino here on two consecutive days, the first was a decent cup made by a professional barista; but sadly the second was very poorly prepared! It was too hot and filled with bubbles! Baristas should be trained well and not allowed to serve until they meet the brand’s standards. It’s not acceptable that a barista doesn’t know that espresso based drinks shouldn’t exceed a temperature of 65 degrees and good steamed milk has zero bubbles! It’s quite a shame. Didn’t know how to rate here, one barista deserved a five, the other a two. Thanks. =)

There are times I come to this establishment and get a really good coffee. There are a few select people here who really know how to make a proper coffee! But sometimes, there are one or two staff members who make a terrible one – piping hot, with milk that isn’t frothed properly, and no care taken in the preparation. The look on their face suggests they don’t even want to be there. Sometimes I walk in, see those same people behind the counter, and think it’s not even worth buying a coffee – I’ll go somewhere else instead. Considering the price of the coffee, that’s disappointing. And on top of that, they try to pressure you into giving them a tip – but in my eyes, a tip should be earned.

Disappointing.... I dropped in for the first time it was a Sunday, the girls seemed like they would rather be anywhere else and the atmosphere was heavy. The coffee and danish were great but I probably won't return at least not on a Sunday :( Sorry maybe just a bad day.

This not service is very bad and the staff is talking to ages to talk to customers and then making late for the other drinks making weight. My coffee This is not good for service this place. not recommending.

decent coffee and food, nothing wow and it is a bit overpriced. if you are in a rush and just want a coffee then its worth it but honestly there are much better places elsewhere in my opinion

Sweet little takeaway coffee shop in Elm Grove. Pork and fennel sausage roll was scrumptious. Dirty iced chai hit the spot. The breakfast buns looked delightful and filling!

Normally love this place but you really need to tell people if the only syrup you have is sugar free. I’ve had to put two coffees down the sink this month because of gross sugar free syrup. It really changes the taste of the drink and I wouldn’t have ordered it if I’d known.

We served sausage rolls as canapés at our wedding with homemade chutney and chilli sauce and it was the best choice we could have made! Our guests absolutely loved them, vegans and dairy free guests were catered for, plus they were so easy to display and pick at while people mingled with drinks. Such a great option for weddings in Brighton and Sussex and a wonderful local business!

Just scranned a bad of 5 of these whilst waiting for my actual lunch. These are so good, like mind bogglingly good. The pastry alone makes it the best sausage roll I've tasted.

Me and my partner pop into the open market to get the Little Piggy sausage rolls every time we visit Brighton, we go for the pick and mix bag of 10 sausage rolls, the green chili and hoisin are fantastic! The pastry is by far the best I've had on a sausage roll, see you next time!

Literally the best sausage rolls you will ever have. You will not find better sausage rolls than here.

Hot rolls with vegetarian and vegan option. I really appreciate how accommodating places are towards food choices. The rolls were a bit bland and cold for me. I tried the cheesy does it roll. I hope to visit some other day and sample more items from the menu :)

Delicious sausage rolls. 5 mini ones mix and match flavours for £4. Full of flavour. Highly recommend

Holy moly. I've just found the best sausage rolls in the world. As soon as I got them out the packet I knew I was in for a treat. But nothing could have prepared me for that flavour sensation. I tried one of each. I'm not sure what my favourite is, all of them are incredible. THE CRISPY CRUST OH MY GOD

I love coming here and bringing my friends and family. the staff are always so lovely and the food is splendid. I always get welcomed with a smile and it boosts my mood every time.

Been wanting to try this place since it opened. Thought we would treat ourselves £16.80 for two cheese and ham baguettes a cookie and a pain au chocolate. Was incredible disappointed. Baguettes were smothered in mustard didn’t know they came with mustard so didn’t eat. Pain au chocolate was stale and a slither of chocolate and the cookie wasn’t all that. Nicer cookies at Tescos. Real shame. Such a waste of money for a meal we didn’t eat.

Great little cafe, nice atmosphere and staff were friendly and helpful. Nice coffee. Had a ciabatta that they offered to warm for me but it dried the bread out too much, possibly over heated in the oven? Apart from that worth a stop if you’re in the area.

Best cafe / bakery in the area. Staff are so friendly, coffee is great and nice outside seating too.

What a shame Flour Pot! I’ve been going to your vender on Hove seafront for a while as your produce is good. But today in Hangleton Flour Pot, I was shocked! I ordered a cold brew coffee (£3.85) with less ice and was served half a coffee! I asked if they could fill it to the top, and their reply was that they usually serve half that amount, and top the rest up with water! Ok. I got told! Sat down to wait for our food which never came. Had to ask for the cakes and sandwich we had purchased, when they tried to charge us again. Had to explain they’d already been paid for. The staff seemed quite uninterested and a bit miserable. A cafe like this should have a nice buzzy atmosphere. I suggest Flour Pot start re-thinking their drone work force and hire decent management, as you’ve now lost a couple of good cash paying customers.

Seriously? How can The Flour Pot charge £4.20 for this? Customer lost on the spot!

I love coming to Flour Pot in Hangleton! The staff are fabulous and the food and coffee are great.

The donut is really amazing and the shop got a very iconic huge donut which is really IGable ! You can take photos with the eyeglasses offered from the shop! They are all cool! The taste of the donut is really special! They got the bubblegum Burst which you can’t search it everywhere! The manager in this shop is super sweet and friendly! She introduced the donut to me very detail and she told me that the donut is steam but not fried! That’s make me feel the donut is not that fat and healthy! Love the place so so bad! Will be back Xoxo IG: soszeman

Just the best doughnuts you can get in UK! Super tasty, fluffy, not much sugar, which is great, original flavours! What’s more, not much calories in them! There was also super kind guy - Michele, he explained all about these doughnuts and he was that right, we had to come back for another round!

The shop itself was very cool. I wasn't expecting much from the doughnuts, but the kids had a strawberry one and it was actually really tasty. It wasn't just style over substance, so nice one team!

A fantastic place! Staff were great with our children (who loved the giant donut seat)! The donuts were amazing - really fresh and delicious and ridiculously low in sugar. Can't wait to go back again soon.

I Visited Urban Legend Donuts in Brighton for the first time and was met with pleasant staff especially Karen who was amazing and helped me out in their great choice of donuts I would highly recommend and also ask for Karen when you come in.

YUMMY!!! You'd NEVER believe these are ONLY 150kcals per donut! What a fantastic, indulgent treat without having to feel guilty about breaking your healthy eating habit!! Flavours are amazing and the texture is everything you want in a donut - light and fluffy as a feather - these are absolutely my new favourite treats!!! I can't wait for this to roll out as a national franchises but until then I'll make the trip down to Brighton just to get them - FULL MARKS for bringing these to market 🎉

Tasty and healthy doughnuts! We took half a dozen home with us and divided them up so we could try a range of flavours - they were all great! Will definitely return next time we're in Brighton!

What a unique cafe! It’s so colourful, fun and full of love, and will brighten up anyone’s day! I was originally drawn in because of the crazy specials, with a long list of fun seasonal drinks of sweeter coffees and ships are your thing. Non of them tickled my fancy, so I went for a standard matcha instead. It was okay, nothing incredible, but it did the job. The mug was genuinely the cutest thing though, and given the vibe of the cafe, it was well worth the stop. I large, Turkish focused food menu was also a hit, with a variety of dishes that you can’t find elsewhere. I went for the Turkish Breakfast and it was a large, hearty potion of home-style cooking. It was simple, but delicious. Service was a little slow given the place was empty, but it seemed to be only one man in the kitchen, making everything with love and from the heart, so I wasn’t bothered- just be aware! Lovely cafe with lovely staff and a lovely vibe though. Thanks guys!

We ordered the potato, beef, cheese rolls , all of them are soooooo delicious! It quite a comfortable breakfast!😊 Also The shop has such an artsy feel — it’s super cute and really cozy! The shop assistant is very kind! I leave the bag there, and she was so kind to help me find it back! 🥹 Very nice experience here! I think I must come here again if I go to Brighton in future!!

We visited here on Sunday morning and it was wonderful! All of our food was delicious and so nicely presented and definitely worth the price. We loved the decor of the place and it was amazing to have such a huge choice of drinks, particularly matcha. But the best part was the service, the staff were absolutely lovely! This meant a lot to us as we’d had a bad experience with service elsewhere in Brighton the night before, but our experience here left us feeling much happier! Beautiful cafe 🥰

Truly a beautiful restaurant, we had the Turkish breakfast and eggs Benedict, with coffee...the food is absolutely fresh with exotic Turkish flavours of the far east all wrapped up with a very warm welcoming staff. Really a little hidden jem.

Popped in for a quick breakfast. Honestly the best breakfast i’ve had in a long time! The couple who served us (i’m assuming the owners) were lovely! I had the turkish breakfast 10/10 took a feta and leek pastry home too. Will definitely be returning!

Such a cute place that feels like being in a family home. Service was wonderful, they are lovely people in there. The best Turkish breakfast I’ve had in England. Also some great selection of vegan baked goods as well as non-vegan options.

Wow, the food and the service here is amazing. You really feel like part of the family! Thank you so much for having us, the Turkish eggs were simply delightful!

Just hidden behind the stone arch, a cool outlet for coffee, pastries and breads, made on site. Quite popular, so you can expect a queue at busy times, like weekends. Nice coffee, but my pain au chocolat with almonds was a little soggy. Also has outdoor seating.

I love the place and its option. It’s great to have a little cafe / bakery in the park. The people are nice, their coffee good and their price good. I was disappointed though by their bakery. 2 times, I bought a Pain aux raisins and a Danish Tart. Despite being early in the morning (around 9.00), the dough of the bakeries were not fresh or crispy but very soft. It’s not as it should be, especially when it’s early in the morning. I definitely recommend the drinks but I won’t buy bakeries anymore.

We did the pasta and Prosecco supper club last week and thoroughly enjoyed it! Tom was a great instructor, full of energy and enthusiasm. Raine was the perfect host, welcoming and enthusiastic. So interesting to make fresh pasta and pesto, you realise how much tastier it is made freshly once you’ve tried it. We have done two courses now and really enjoyed both of them. Fully expecting we will book another sometime. Highly recommended!

Really lovely pastries but the coffee I had was not enjoyable! Really bitter and didn’t really have a taste at all. Got with oat milk and couldn’t even taste the oat or sugar. 1/10 coffee, 10/10 pastry :/

Nice to have a cafe inside queens park, staff are so nice and accommodating.

Just had to leave a message that, as a carnivore, you can't continue to exist until you have tasted their long horn beef sausage rolls. Yum yum yum yum. (edit: currently they are too greasy... the flakey pastry is wet and slides off almost by itself...)

A hidden jeyel for the locals maybe? Fresh croissants, bread and other bakery goodies baked every morning. Relax while you drink a coffee and watch people get on with their lives.

I live almost next door and couldn't resist how beautiful these cakes looked. They're yummy too & I got another heart shaped one as a gift for someone who needed a cheer-up heart cake. The staff are so so nice as well, which makes this new place seem extra special. I wish them all the luck with their business. (oh, the burek is also gooood - reminds me of my travels around Eastern Europe 😍)

Delicious cakes and cookies! Premium quality.

Such a lovely brunch spot in Brighton! The interiors are super cute and give the place a really cosy, welcoming vibe. The food was great and beautifully presented. The staff were friendly and made the experience even better. Definitely a place I’d recommend if you’re in the area and looking for a nice, relaxed brunch.

What a hidden gem that doesn’t seem to get enough love in Brighton! It’s a foodie paradise dressed up in the most unique and colourful and fun way, what a pleasure of a cafe to sit in! The vibes and decor are exceptional, and it has some of the best food too - brunch and lunch, but elevated to be more interesting, more exciting, and all round better and more diverse than other cafes. They have loads of beautiful fresh cake and bakes, both sweet and savoury, and a lengthy drinks list too, including speciality teas which is a great addition, some real bangers. To eat, I thoroughly enjoyed a salad of roasted cauliflower, crunchy apples, a tangy and herby dressing and pecans. Wow. So good and flavoursome. To drink, I had a cinnamon and apple matcha latte, an October special, and it was lovely, though didn’t taste of cinnamon or apple much - still a great drink. The service was delightful and the whole place is just beautiful. One of Brighton’s best!

Had such a wonderful meal at the Valentine's bistro night special. The food was absolutely incredible, very tasty, lots of choice (including vegan and vegetarian) and very generous portions. The atmosphere is also perfect for a romantic meal out with friends. I really loved the attention to the detail and how curated the tables and space were. Staff was great, we were very well attended and cared for. Absolutely recommend and looking forward to going again!

What a gem of a place. We went for brunch and loved this cafe! The pumpkin pie and the chocolate pecan brownie pie were absolutely delicious! The menu was creative and delicious

I cannot put into words how much I ADORE this little cafe. It is by far my favourite cafe in brighton even with all of the choices available, this is by far one of the best. Food is always amazing, the playlists are always on top, this is just a great spot to go to. I would throughly recommend trying the bacon pancakes if they are on the menu!! Love love love here!! ❤️

We were staying round the corner for the weekend and spotted this lovely looking cafe which appeared perfect for breakfast. It really was, we had delicious coffee and a breakfast muffin each. Homemade, local produce, so tasty. Couldn’t resist going back again today for brunch where we treated ourselves to the day’s special ‘Croque Crab’. It was large and so good! The surroundings are light and beautifully decorated, there is outdoor seating out the back. Will definitely be visiting again. Highly recommended.

We visited for lunch today, with our family. Food was amazing, very chilled atmosphere and the setting is bright and fresh! The house tea was delicious and my husband loved the coffee. In my daughter’s words “those were the best pancakes I’ve ever eaten”. We will be back to try more of the menu.
