    So many flavors of meringue!
    Fancypants X.

    Oh my, the window display at Julien Plumart should come with a "caution" sign because I almost broke my neck doing a double take! The mountains of delightfully colorful meringues enticed me to come in & buy one (for the road.) I sampled the lemon, but lemon is rarely a flavor I choose when it comes to confections. I was debating between strawberry & blueberry (actually, I was debating if I should just buy a mini pack so I could try all the flavors), but ultimately I was sensible & went with one giant blueberry meringue. The deep purple color swirling with traditional powdery white was so pretty, though I can't say the blueberry flavor was strong enough. Even after days of piecing off a little here & a little there, I still didn't finish it. Blueberry was good, but I'm hoping strawberry is better! Until next time...

    Cocoa is a proper Parisian patisserie experience in the heart of Brighton! Situated just down from Brighton Station its a great stop off for an authentic coffee and pastry for your journey. The decor is heavily inspired by the french capital with a artwork featuring the Eiffel tower with large mirrors, dark wood furniture and lots of deep reds through out. The cakes are absolutely amazing just to look at and of course they taste fab as well, apparently the chef was trained by Raymond Blanc, Sacré bleu!

    One of each please!!!

    I always seem to be in a rush when I walk past this place but the meringues on display in the window keeping calling me in!!! One day soon they will be mine!

    I asked for a brioche and they asked me if it was ok that I got a second one for free. I think I'm in love.

    Always the loveliest French girls here - come after 5 and you'll get buy one get one free on pastries! The macaroons are exceptional, give in to temptation!

    Afternoon tea was outstanding! The sandwich layer consisted of warm selections including a slider and delicious grilled cheese. The dessert layer was a choice of a dessert and 2 macarons from their dessert showcase along was a biter size warm brownie. The brownie is hands down the best I've ever tasted anywhere. Everything was delicious and service was great!

    For a light meal to satisfy you until lunch, this charming French patisserie has a Parisian feel running through it thick and fast. With an abundance of artistically created croissants, cakes and pastries, it's a lovely haunt for a more continental breakfast. Everything is made on the premises ensuring a deliciously fresh eating experience. And no authentic European breakfast is without its caffeine, Cocoa offers a variety of coffees and organic and fair-trade teas.

    Cocoa is an amazing French patisserie styled like a Parisian cafe. It offers an array of amazing posh cakes, tarts and puddingy things as well as a fab selection of coffees. Its a great place to grab a posh afternoon tea and cake, they also do take out coffee for all the offices nearby. The chef was trained by the world famous Raymond Blanc which I think speak volumes about the quality of the food on offer.

    Environment: When I first walked in I was expecting a more traditional gelato shop where you go and…read morestand in a line, pick some gelato, they scoop it, you eat kind of style. Instead, they give you a table and a menu where you pick what you'd like from sundaes to waffles to regular gelato. I was kind of bummed cause I would've loved to try a couple before ordering. The environment was fun though, lots of space and tables. Service: The service was good, friendly and attentive. Food: the gelato was delicious. Decent price for the size of the sundae which was huge, definitely large enough for 2 people to split. The strawberry gelato was amazing, the soft serve on the top wasn't my favorite, took away from the sundae a bit. If I were to eat here again I would definitely order a waffle, those looked AMAZING.

    When I was in Brighton earlier this year I went to catch up with some old school friends at an Ice…read moreCream Parlour called Jojo's Gelato in Brighton. If you're into ice cream(/all kinds of sweet desserts that have lots of sugar in) and like the 'American Diner' style then you might want to check this place out! It's colourful, the staff are friendly and welcoming and the place has an unbelievable selection of Artisan homemade ice cream and sorbets to choose from! As you probably know by now (because I think I might have mentioned it a couple of times in other reviews) I am Vegan and I was incredibly excited when I saw there were ten vegan sorbet flavours to choose from (TEN!) plus dark chocolate too... This is one of those awesome Ice Cream Parlours that lets you try any and every flavour you want to before committing to one (or two, or a few)! After sampling a couple of the sorbet flavours, I opted for peach sorbet scoop along with an incredibly indulgent scoop of the dark chocolate, with strawberries on top. I expected it to come in a little bowl (seeing as I ordered a "2 scoop" bowl for £3.79 + 49p for fresh strawberries) and was pretty blown away when I was greeted by magnificent lookin' thing! My peach and dark choc sorbet dessert cost me less than £4.30 in total, which I think is fairly reasonable as a treat. Jojo's Gelato would make a super cute place to go for a date, to catch up with old friends (like I did) or take the kids as a special treat! My (non Vegan) friends got incredible looking waffles with ice cream, fruit and whipped cream! I struggled to finish mine and couldn't even consider looking at the waffle dishes for too long, let alone eating them! The only thing I didn't enjoy about this place is that it was quite nippy, we were sat in there for about 1.5 hours so I really felt the chill.

This gelato shop is open late. Until midnight I stumbled in at around 10:30 and found it to be quite full. I got one of two clean tables after ordering. I looked at the menu and it was overwhelming. So many choices. I got the Sweet Treat and my goodness that thing should have a disclaimer that it's approximately a foot tall. Vanilla gelato swirls like whipped cream topped with two cookies and a cookie straw. Beneath the vanilla gelato is chocolate gelato, a banana, peanut butter, whipped cream, Oreos crumbles, and who knows what else is deeper than I could possibly ever venture. I was proud of myself for eating roughly a third. Not proud because it was bad, because it was quite quite good. But proud because I made that much of a dent due to the sheer size

    Wow Amazing Sundaes! Ours came with a pot of hot chocolate sauce and it was just insane!!!…read moreHuge portion...I could have shared to be honest but my boyfriend wanted a whole one to himself so I manage to eat NEARLY all of my own one! Staff friendly and and service quick. It is not table service for ordering, not essential and not a problem just is always a nice touch in Gelaterias. Very big place with a lot of seating, suitable for both groups and individuals. Conveniently near the Churchill sq shopping centre car park and very central location! Looking forward to returning to try something different all though the pot of hot sauce was so good!

They've got a great range of flavours, almost too many as it's too hard to decide, so I ended up going for the standard 'traditional'. I wasn't disappointed - the filling was tasty and the pastry perfect, the right mix of flake and stodge. They do have other stuff here too - sandwiches, paninis - but I can't imagine I'll ever get past the pasties to try them.

I'd say my grandma probably makes the best pasties in Devon, but I suppose I'm biased... I often find that shop-bought pasties are a bit of a let down, too-thick pastry filled with lots of potato and not enough of anything else. This was not my experience of Our Cornish Pasty Shop. I went for a classic steak pasty and it quite literally knocked my socks off! The meat was tender, the pastry was just the right consistency...watch out granny, you've got new competition!! The range of pasties is just right...not so many that you're left confused, but enough that you aren't left with a simple meat or veggie decision. I'm a bit scared of some of the more unusual ones, like Chicken Tikka...I am of the opinion that a pasty should stick to the original rules! The shop itself is nice, the staff friendly and they have a few tables outside. This is the best place to go if you want a little piece of the West Country in Brighton!

At least in Brighton, where there seems to be endless money to be spent in trendy little food establishments. The latest: Farm. As the name suggests, Farm is going for a rustic country bumpkin image. They use local and organic produce, and locally made bread and they have a seasonal menu, meaning their dishes change according to which vegetables are in season. The décor reflects this ethos- it feels homey and earthy, if a little contrived- but in fairness it would be hard to create a totally authentic farm café in the middle of Brighton! I think they've done quite well- the sandwiches are really fresh and delicious and the bread is really nice. They have soups and other winter warmers too. Every time I've walked past, it has been packed. Perhaps this will be the café to give nearby Bill's a run for their money? Farm may not be quite as high on the cool barometer, but their food is up there!
