This place is a proper hidden gem!…read more I came in from a cold and wind swept brighton beach hoping to find a place to hide away and get a sandwich. After looking at the menu I opted for brunch instead. Super organic fair with an artistic twist to it. Will take you through what I had and review each... Esspresso - yum. I've been in brighton a while now and it is sometimes difficult to get a good Esspresso which isn't burned. The Esspresso I had here was delicious and sweet. Not a bitter note in sight. Eggs benedict - two poached eggs and sour dough toast with smashed peas and slow cooked ham hock. Was garnished beautifully with edible flowers. Melt in your mouth good and really well balanced flavours. I then had a cup of tea to round things off. Even that was better than expected. You get a little pot of tea but the presentation is super cute with a mini - bottle of milk coming with it. I'll be here for brunch again. You also get the bonus of a sea view if you sit upstairs :)

The beer, cocktail, soft drink, and coffee offerings are excellent and the food is globally inspired and locally sourced. Though the Brits aren't exactly good exciting tacos or anything labeled "spicy", Lucky Beach gets an A for effort. The emphasis on quality ingredients make each dish superb and despite the lack of authenticity, delicious nonetheless. A great choice for a drink, cup of coffee, a quick bite, or a relaxed meal with friends by the beach.

We had breakfast here one morning while staying in Brighton and had a wonderful meal. The cafe is…read morequite small with only a handful of tables, but we got there when it opened and were sat immediately. The portion sizes are very generous!

Overall good experience and a good choice for breakfast/brunch if you are in the area.

Billies, Billies, Billies. It's official. I'm in love…read more Everyone will tell you about how wonderful this cute little cafe was but until you experience it for yourself I don't think you understand the true amazingness of Billies. I went here on the weekend with a fellow Yelper and boy was I impressed! We spotted Billies not because of a big sign or a bright storefront, but because of the queue of hungry and hopeful people all lined up politely outside it at 11am on a Sunday morning. Surely not? I thought to myself - not very used to having to wine in line for my breakfast in Brighton. But yes, there it was... a big old queue. Now, if I'm honest, at this point my friend and I had a moment of weakness and discussed whether to move on somewhere else but (thankfully!) we stuck around... The sun was shining and the cafe is situated on one of Brighton's prettier streets, away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre, where streets are lined with pretty white houses and big beautiful trees. The people queing with us were friendly and equally as excited by the prospect of Billies famous hash, so in truth the waiting process was pleasant enough. It only took us about 10-15 minutes to be seated as we came as a pair (much to the dismay of larger groups who momentarily considered abandoning their friends and families in favour of food). We were seated at a pretty little table in the window, perfect for watching the world go by on this sunny Sunday, as we waited for our food. We both order the has - me going for the Mexican one with guac and salsa (and a side of bacon... shh!) and my friend going for the Farmhouse, I believe. It wasn't a long wait for the food to arrive, considering how packed the place was, and we were content waiting with our Americanos and gossip. The food arrived looking and smelling incredible and, upon tasting, it did not disappoint! My hash was spicy, filling and unusual (in a good way) and I only managed about half of it before asking for a doggy bag. For a mere £8 (or thereabouts) you get at least double portions, I'd say and this is coming for a girl not afraid of finishing her plate! I was so impressed with it - it really hit the spot! The staff were friendly too, while rushed off their feet, and my total (hash, with added bacon, and coffee) came to around £10, which is not bad at all considering I took practically a full meal home with me as well. I really loved my experience here! I felt as if I was in NYC brunching in style, but without those measly portions! This is hearty, tasty food, served with a smile in a very pretty (albeit busy) little cafe! Go and it try it please!!!

Then when I…read morestumbled in this one in Ship Street I decided to try it, for my first meal in this city because had read the good review that Kerry G. made about it. The place was really busy but I managed to find a free table outside and spent several minutes looking at the menu and I couldn't decide what to eat as everything sounded so appealing. After making up my mind I chose the falafel, olives and feta on flat bread and an orange juice. The staff seemed really friendly, because you order at the counter but they bring it to your table. My lunch was yummy. Not a super meal, more like a quick bite for lunch but was quite good and the falafel wasn't too crunchy and hard as I experienced before. I decided to not stay for coffee as I wanted to try some other cafés but overall the place was a really good choice for lunch. Nice decor with a few tables to have a seat outside in the sun, pleasant staff, free wifi and a good spot for people-watching (my favourite sport!!).

Anyone fancy a Pigs Breakfast for £5.99? Nope, me neither!…read more Straddling the border of Brighton and Hove, The Meeting Place is a greasy spoon that masquerades as a cafe. The fact it seats 160 people and has wonderful views of the sea means its busy all year round. And yet, the food is bland, mediocre and stodgy. There's fried breakfasts including the aforementioned Pigs Breakfast, pizzas rolled into a cone (don't ask!) and toasties made from cheddar slices. The tea, coffee and cakes are equally disappointing. In fact, the only good thing about The Meeting Place is the soft drinks, ice-lollies and chocolate bars. Oh and the breath-taking views of course.

Brighton boasts a diverse café culture that caters to the needs of locals and visitors alike from…read morethe waffles to the Wi-Fi. Your Brighton and Hove coffee experience isn't complete until you've visited one (or all!) of the six conveniently placed Small Batch Coffee Company sites dotted around the city. Pop-up pitches greet the commuters at Brighton and at Hove railway station and both areas boast two café's a-piece on busy central thoroughfares. So do take the time to sample some beans from these enterprising Brighton baristas. My local SBCC sits on the corner of Norfolk Square and is a welcome addition to one of the less grand regency squares currently undergoing a transformation. All the sites have a distinctly hip interior that you'd expect from a seriously cool coffee house. Personality can be found in the nod to local attractions, such as the pavilion domes in the shop signage and the beach hut mural on the Norfolk interior. If you're after a speedy verdict, THE COFFEE IS AMAZING. You can now move on. I had a cappuccino that came in a generously sized cup and finished off with a heart motif. The heart did look a bit like an onion, but that's ok. I love onions. The taste was rich and warm and a cut above your regular coffee on the go. The reasonably priced drinks come in at around £2-£3 and the tea is just as lovingly brewed as its flavoursome coffee brother. If you fancy a nibble there is an array of cookies, cakes and hot snacks for between £1.50-£3 that are fresh and tasty. I opted for a slither of brownie. I've been tricked by brownies in the past. It's hard to talk about, but they've been deceptively brown yet distinctly lacking in choccy goodness. I'm happy to report that this sweet treat was moist and rich. Phew. So whether you're a connoisseur or after a quick quench, be sure to stop here and have a cup of the hot stuff.

Small Batch Coffee Company serves great coffee in a beautiful and stylish setting. There are…read moreseveral Small Batches scattered around Brighton and Hove, but this one has to be one of my favourites! It's spacious and comfortable and is a great place to start the day, with a nice cup of tasty coffee in your hand. Coffee places can sometimes be quite cramped, noisy or busy places, but Small Batch doesn't feel like this at all. The big windows and spread out tables make for a really open feel to the place - leaving you with enough room to relax and not feel as if you're sharing a table with the people sitting next to you. Now, I'm very much a basic coffee kinda girl! It's usually no milk, no froth, no fancy beans! I'm not ashamed to say that I can't especially tell much difference between my coffees and will happily drink even the cheapest instant coffee and enjoy it nonetheless. That being said, the coffee in here really does taste different. It tastes real, if you will... It's strong and flavourful and, honestly, I'd worry that if I stopped off here for long enough I'd soon after never be able to drink my beloved instant coffee ever again. The one pitfall of this place is their lack of wifi. I had just settled myself down with a hot cup of coffee and a opened up my laptop to begin work, when I realised. Ultimately, it's not the end of the world. There are plenty of cafes nearby with wifi available and, in a way (as long as you're expecting it) there's something rather charming about a coffee place where you can't connect. Use this as you time-to-relax coffee spot, rather than your work-away-from-work area.
