The 30 Best Coffee house in Brighton

“Super authentic little coffee bar on the seafront. You will probably q a little bit but it's worth the wait.”

“First time here today. Had the big English breakfast. It was faultless. Excellent quality, good portions, not oily, hot toast and hot plates. Added tea ( proper pot) and coffee and black pudding. Service was perfect, helpful, friendly. Staff super friendly and kind to everyone. The menu choice is great, from breakfasts to cooked lunches, sandwiches, baguettes, jacket Spuds, etc. Could not fault this place, people or food.”

“I’ve been going to this coffee shop for a while now. Their food is amazing, the ambience is inviting and their coffee is… what can I say, you gotta try it. But the star of the show are these Tiramisu cakes (or bites as I would like to call them). Right amount of sweetness & richness, basically perfect. YOU GOTTA TRY EM. ASAP”

“The coffees the baristas make at Kingsway are bang on every time. It’s obvious they take the time and care each time they pour to get the right consistency and temperature of the milk (which is rare!!). There is a lot of competition around Hove for good coffee, but Kingway is coming out on top each time for me. I’ve got a Gail’s at the other end of my road, and let’s just say I walk that extra bit further for one of these banging oat flat whites each time… Very pleased to have you in hove guys!”

“Amazing coffee ….. so tasty. Visited with my sister this morning and on us saying it was my birthday later in the week the lady behind the bar insisted that I choose a free slice of cake to celebrate with. I needed to choose a gluten free option and they had plenty to choose from. I shared the lemon and pistachio cake with my sister. How immensely kind of them. It made my day and we will definitely be back when we are in the area again.”

“As person who cant consume any products with milk in it i was suprised by 2 vegan cakes and i could even choose from 3 diiferent plant-milks. The cake was super yummi and the girl behind the counter super friendly! Thank you for making a beautiful day even better!”

“Blink and you've missed it. The cosiest spot for coffee. Small but welcoming. Had an amazing aeropress and left with a bag of beans. I would definitely come back every time I'm in Brighton.”

“LOVE this coffee!!! Stumbled upon it being sold at my local cafe and now have a subscription to get these freshly roasted beans delivered home! Was even asked the other day by a friend what beans I used and proudly mentioned Skylark!”

“Great coffee & recommendations on beans. Lovely spiced cake & cookies. Really friendly staff who also took the time to chat. Even tho this was our first visit, we felt like locals. And the have a loyaly card scheme is you're planning to go regularly.”

“Loved it. The coffee was great, really enjoyed it & ended up staying for two. Sandwiches were good. We would have liked hot food, which I think they do have but had run out of as it was early afternoon when we visited.”

“I've obviously drank a lot of coffee in my time, but the cappuccino I had from here this morning, was probably one of the best coffees I've ever had in my entire life. It's actually made me have a bit of an existential crisis about my previous coffee drinking habits. If you keep driving past this place, please do actually stop and go in! I actually have shameful amounts of regret that I haven't been able to stop here previously. So thank you very much for the coffee. It's not even an exaggeration, it was very very good! ❤️”

“Absolutely brilliant!!! Toffee had a really good experience. Definitely, the best groomer.”

“Found this gem of a coffee shop!! Definitely a much needed and nice addition to Lewes. Too many high branded coffee shops take over towns but this one was perfect. Nice drinks and cakes. Will become a regular when we visit Lewes for sure”

“Fabulous independent roastery/caf where you can get a far superior coffee fix than any of the mainstream high street places. Nice industrial space and atmosphere. Didn't try any food so I can't speak on that front, but most importantly, my espresso was excellent. Will stock up on beans next time I pass by.”

“Delicious coffee and probably the best spinach and feta roll I've ever had! Friendly and prompt service. Laid back atmosphere with some outdoor seating available for sunny days :)”

“I was passing by and went for a coffee. Lovely little place with great views to the Downs. Doubles up as a post office and paper shop - obviously a great asset to the local community. Friendly service and great coffee.”

“Love this Deli. Not only do they have great food, coffee and fresh produce to purchase, the staff are friendly and welcoming. I have been using this place since it opened and many friends and family who are local have done the same on my recommendation…the new Tex Mex nights are great too! If you want a local small business to provide you with locally sourced produce and decent coffee this is your place. They cater well for vegetarian and vegan diets too which can be tricky in smaller towns. Recently I noticed a 1 * review stating they were told “rather rudely” that dogs are not welcome so left. Being a regular I found it hard to believe this. I am aware from being a responsible and reasonable dog owner myself, that there is a sign clearly displayed on the window saying “no dogs” as there is fresh produce on sale in the deli area and counter. I completely understand and respect this. We take our dog on the beach daily and end with a coffee from the deli where they always provide fresh water for dogs outside, tables and chairs for owners and their dogs to sit, and in the past have come to the door or outside to serve us when we have the dog with us or even offer to hold the dog on the lead outside for us whilst we have a mooch inside and decide what to order. So, dogs are welcome just not inside around the fresh produce. I highly recommend this deli - dog owners or not. If you want decent coffee, a great selection of treats, lunches and snacks, and to support a local business head to west beach coffee & deli!”

“Great coffee spot. Perfectly prepared coffee! Nice cosy coffee shop with an excellent quality baristas who are consistent and really good at what they are doing.”

“Amazing service just such a friendly vibe. Lovely decor and one of the best mochas I’ve had! Will definitely be back ”

“Excellent coffee and friendly, helpful service. I've ordered a variety of coffee from Craft house over more than a year. Each order has been dealt with quickly and every coffee has been good. They roast brilliantly to bring out the different flavours in beans. Highly recommended.”

“Coffee At 33 – Small shop, big heart (and seriously good coffee!) The owner is incredibly sweet and friendly — you feel welcome the second you walk in. . I ordered an espresso, a cortado, and a hand drip, and every single cup was perfect. Balanced, smooth, and full of flavor — no bitterness at all, just pure coffee joy. Their pastries and baked goods look so tempting too… I wanted to try them all! If you’re in Brighton, you’ve got to check this place out. Just a heads up: it can be a little slow because they’ve got so many loyal regulars — but trust me, it’s 100% worth the wait.”

“Great coffee, opens early, friendly people, and welcoming!! The owner and guy from Essex are the best barristas in Brighton! 10/10!”

“The best place in Brighton & Hove for a coffee, snack, good vibes, catching up with friends, or even just a quiet read of a book. Also has excellent outdoor seating! I love Flat Out!!”

“Great coffee, nice cafe, friendly owners, great vegan doughnuts”

“Best coffee in town right now, friendly staff and a nice layout. Very relaxed inside.”

“Delicious vegan Victoria sponge & soy vanilla latte. The vegan chocolate flapjack also looked very good”

“Lovely guest house overlooking the Cuckmere Valley. Very friendly hosts. Big rooms with view. Will return!”

“Come here because of the Google reviews and we was in the area. We live 5 hours away. Almost walked past the entrance, what a cute little place! Both mum and daughter was lovely, daughter was friendly and bubbily. Me and Mrs both ordered toasted sandwiches which where very very nice. All real food. Cooked perfectly. Had a milkshake and iced frappe. Both very nice. Lovely outdoor sitting area on a nice day. Price is as expected for a small family run place however felt it was worth it!. We probably won't be here again as don't pass through often. So felt a review would be a good way to thank them for the amazing lunch and service!”

“My favourite cafe, fully recommend!!! Food is very tasty and the menu is exciting. The staff are all absolutely lovely, especially Tyler who is so welcoming, friendly, and attentive. I come here when I am working from home in the area, I usually stay here for the day and have breakfast, lunch and coffees. There is good wifi and free parking outside. Can’t fault it and I’m looking forward to my next visit!”

“Nice little place to pick up great tasting coffee.”
