Coffee house in Brighton and Hove

“A unique place with a great food and drink menu and a lovely vibe! I only stopped in for a quick bite to eat for breakfast, and I had a blast. I had the healthy brunch bowl, where everything was well cooked and seasoned, and as a non-vegan, still thoroughly enjoyed it and wouldn’t have said anything was missing. The chunky avocado was a great touch too, way better than the mushy stuff. To drink I had the health elixir - or in normal terms, a honey, lemon, tumeric and ginger tea. Fresh and vibrant, it was perfectly sweet and spicy, and very delicious indeed. The vibes in the place are spot on, being friendly and welcoming like the staff, and the decor is just fabulous with all the random vintage bits and bobs around the place. They offer cakes too, but it’s the large food selection, creative and tasty, and extensive drinks options, especially teas, which makes this place stand out!”

“Delicious boba! Staff are lovely too. Treated me and my friend well. Got the classic milk oreo boba. Recommend!”

“Fabulous independent Coffee shop. Fabulous coffee and breakfast Excellent service. Highly recommended.”

“Had a ham and cheese sandwich which was toasted and was very good! The staff were accommodating to my diet which was kind of them. Coffee was also excellent”

“Lovely people run this gem of a cafe.......make the best breakfasts and the chicken grill is perfect.......always made to feel very welcome and brilliant service.”

“Lovely spot with such a serene atmosphere. Delicious coffee too!”

“Simple neighbourhood joint with yummy banana walnut bread and delish coffee. Chill place to sip your coffee while people or dog watching.”

“Deffo. One of the best cafes around Brighton. Happy and chill vibes all day and people there are so friendly. Also a great place for studying, reading etc.”

“Amazing cafe! Ordered latte and blueberry lemon cake. It was fantastic and delicious!”

“Full English Breakfast, Yummy !”

“I love it here. Such a beautiful place. Gorgeous decor and attention to detail such as the crockery used. The food is very tasty. We had quiche and salads which were delicious. A good selection of tasty breakfast and brunch options. Perhaps a little on the pricey side but still reasonable and worth it for the quality and overall experience I would say.”

“We had a very warm welcome and excellent service from very friendly and attentive staff. The cafe is a nice environment to be in and has had a fairly recent rearrangement inside - now with more seating. Now the important bit. Food and drink. Everything we had was great and made with care. Lovely coffees (we tried each of the different coffees, the Brazilian, and the Mexican blends. My wife, an Aussie, enjoyed her 'aussie' long black. I enjoyed the fruitier Mexican blend. I had the black forest pancakes and my wife had the mushrooms on toast. Both were served looking fab, and made with quality ingredients, and good portion sizes. All in all, a place I've been to in the past for single coffees turned out to be a really good shout for a proper breakfast. Made an Aussie feel like "home from home coffee shop with brunch". Highly recommended.”

“I'm a planner. Wherever I go, I usually have a spreadsheet of carefully researched places to eat and drink on trips, so we're not left disappointed. So it was an unexpected delight to stumble upon this cafe, entirely by chance. We were so impressed with our first visit, we visited again, the next day on our short two day trip. Firstly, the menu is huge. We literally wanted to try everything. Every dish has something unique about it that has clearly been thought through. The food was stunning. Perfect. We had lunch one day (mushrooms on toast), and breakfast the next (pancakes and full English) and both were as good as each other. I don't say this lightly, when I say, they make the best hash browns I've ever had. I've tried making hash browns through my love for them and I've left feeling jealous at how they got these so perfect. Delicious drinks - coffees, juices and smoothies all made fresh. Unlike most cafes - they didn't do my pet hate and fill the glass with ice, which waters down the juice - winner! The service was attentive, friendly and speedy (on both visits). We are going to be telling everyone about this absolute gem and will visit as soon as we're back in Brighton.”

“Really nice spot - great coffee and hot chocolate and great lunch menu too. They have several vegan and gluten free options also. Staff are super friendly and helpful :)”

“A quick stay in Brighton meant a google search for somewhere to get breakfast. Lucky for us we came across CoffeetZar. What a wonderful friendly welcome, lovely bright fresh decor ,exceptional coffee & loads of delicious looking food choices. I had the Greek yoghurt with granola ,sour cherries & honey. And oh my!. My husband had a more traditional choice. Both delicious and good value. Couldn’t resist a couple of homemade treats for the long drive home either.”

“Honestly, one of the best cafes I’ve ever been to. One of the last great traditional cafes, but with a fresh and exciting vegan menu that makes sure everyone feels included. The staff here were absolutely delightful too. Couldn’t recommend enough. Super affordable too! Very small inside and outside though so if it’s peak times you might struggle for a table.”

“My favourite arab restaurant in Brighton. Very good food, the best mansaf in town and really nice vibes and music. The staff is also very friendly and helpful!”

“Just stopped here for coffee… great price!! £3.30 & nice & bold… so great to have them at the beach … clean toilets and fully loaded … only wish they were open more days and longer hours. Friendly staff like all the English!!!”

“Nice big cup of iced cold americano. Beautifully decorated and furnished, much more modern than before.”

“As someone who lives in the area but spends a lot of time away, this place is one of the reasons I love coming home. Still the best BLTs I have ever tasted and a warm welcome every time. As a dog lover, I love meeting their canine customers and the relaxed atmosphere always makes me smile.”

“New favourite coffee place in the lanes unlocked :) food is delicious and customer service was also top tier. Wish everyone in the world was, at least, half as nice and lovely as the owner! Definitely recommend and will be back on my next trip :)”

“Wow! What a hidden treasure of a cafe in the heart of Rottingdean. Great lunch, hot coffee, top level service and the team were so helpful and friendly. After lunch we had a browse through the art for sale in the shop and bought some fab napkins with colourful Brighton art and Billy the seagulll…. Even lucky enough to meet the local artist during our visit. Thanks Aaron and team, we will most definitely be back! ❤️”

“Sunday holy mass time 10:00 am and evening 7:30 They are sucha an amazing welcoming people....any one can cone here and see jesus, on sundays they have a special place for your childrens to play while you attend the holy mass and this is how a church should be in the new era....totally amazing.”

“Great clean cafe lovely mega breakfast. Alot of different food available and vegan options. Very reasonably priced as well also do deliveries or you can phone in and collect your order.”

“Amazing place! We arrived late on a random Wednesday evening with our kids and the staff were so friendly, gave us extras and just generally were awesome lovely people. We are eating our fish & chips on the beach right now as I type this, and the whole family agree it is delicious! Highly recommend : )”

“The Arabian eggs were incredible! The coffee is in a really big cup which is perfect for enjoying and savouring slowly!! Much better than a tiny coffee from some places. Great location and staff!”

“Dropped into Café Coho in Brighton just before closing, and despite it being near the end of the day, the welcome was still warm and friendly — no sense of being hurried out the door. I ordered a strong flat white, and it was exactly what I needed: rich, full-bodied, and clearly made with care, even that close to closing time. The café itself has a clean, stylish feel without trying too hard — relaxed but with attention to detail. The staff were attentive and polite, and there was a sense that they genuinely cared about the quality of both the coffee and the customer experience. It’s easy for some places to switch off as the shutters go down, but not here. That level of consistency says a lot. I’ll absolutely be back again when I'm next in the area, whether it's for a slow sit-down or another quick pick-me-up. Highly recommend if you’re after proper coffee and a professional, no-fuss service in central Brighton.”
