The 30 Best Coffee house in Brighton

“Hard to beat. Makes my top 5. Great coffee tick. Enticing menu at reasonable prices tick. Atmosphere and service first rate tick.”

“Renee was so lovely and knowledgable. I'm a barista too so we talked about coffee. Made a gorgeous cortado for me too. Thank you! Would recommend”

“I always visit Georgio when I'm in Eastbourne. Lovely coffee, decent prices, good facilities and a good vibe. And the staff are very helpful too.”

“Staff were so so so lovely Coffee was delicious and really massive! Yummy cake, but be careful they are addictive ;)”

“I love this place. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. I like taking my coffee sitting outside. Actually I find its interior very inspiring and peaceful.”

“Now, people are always very quick to complain, but never quick to priase. So, here's my review for them. Actually my second time visiting this coffee shop. I love the atmosphere, it's so friendly, helpful and professional. Excellent pricing, too! The manager, Katie, I believe was so friendly when I went in for my first coffee. I had a little laugh and a joke about the wide variety of cakes and pastries, as I'm on a Keto diet. She told me they were "sugar free!" I nearly fell for it. I had my coffee outside, nice little area, plenty of room, too. I loved it so much, I went in for another coffee. I told them it was actually one of the best coffees I've had from coffee shops. Most are bitter or they look and taste like the coffee hasn't been changed since 1973!!! :0) Again, I spoke to Wendy on the 2nd trip in, and I believe Wendy, the assistant manager served me this time. Absolutely brilliant senses of humour, and even wanted to know which of them served up the best coffee.....I'm getting ready to run now!! :0) Anyhoo, I highly recommend this coffee/eatery. I will definitely be coming back, especially as they have a reward system. ( stamping for each hot beverage. )”

“I had 17 minutes before my bus was due. Service was quick, I only waited a couple of minutes and my mushroom toastie was hot and tasty. I was offered a side salad, but I declined because I was pushed for time. The lady behind the till was pleasant and brought my tray over for me (I have a fractured ankle and crutches) which was much appreciated, and I made it in plenty of time for my bus!”

“We love this cafe, the proprietors are lovely and welcoming.Although there is a substantial menu I usually have the breakfast burger as it's my favourite and my wife enjoys a jacket potato or the macaroni cheese! A nice selection of cakes are available and the coffee is really nice. In case you wondered, I highly recommend this cafe in Tarring village.”

“Lovely coffee at a very reasonable price, this place is located brilliantly right opposite the kids play park and at the start of the walk through stanmer park itself. We tend to grab a cuppa when walking the dog. Easy recommendation to others”

“Grabbed a cuppa tea it was £1.50! Perfect for a walk on the sea front to keep me warm. Coffee tasted nice, cappuccino was £3. The lady was really friendly. the cafe is a takeaway with 2 seats out the front. Also selling snacks, cold drinks, slushies and ice cream..”

“Have been to the River Cafe & Bistro in Shoreham a few times in the past and always found it pleasant for a coffee and cake / pastry or sausage roll. Today we had full on breakfasts of varying sorts and all were spot on. Now my favourite cafe in Shoreham by far.”

“Good coffee. Collect points on Costa App. Busy place but good service and plenty of tables and seats plus seating outside for smokers and summer months.”

“Absolute Perfection: Top-Tier Coffee and Cake in Town!I stopped by Trading Post Coffee Roasters and can honestly say this is the best coffee experience I've had in ages. I ordered their classic pairing: a Flat White and a slice of Coffee Cake, and both were flawless.The Flat White was absolute liquid gold. It had perfectly extracted espresso with a deep, rich flavor, and the microfoam was silky smooth—a true sign of a skilled barista. It was the ideal temperature to savor right away.The Coffee Cake was the perfect companion. It was incredibly moist, packed with rich coffee flavor and spice, and had the most delicious crumb topping. It paired flawlessly with the bold coffee.Beyond the drinks and food, the atmosphere is fantastic—bustling but cozy, clearly a spot where people care deeply about the craft. If you're looking for genuinely top-notch coffee and baked goods, look no further. Five stars all the way!”

“Was here nearly two years ago and remembered the very friendly staff so sought it out when I visited again. Exactly the same; I’m not sure of the man’s name but he provides exemplary customer service.”

“My favourite Costa with nice outdoor place.”

“Coffees are great! Service is good, not sure why the other reviews slate it. Milk is foamed very well every time!”

“Lovely coffee ☕ I didn't try the food”

“We were delighted to find this great coffee shop during our visit to Brighton! The coffee, pastries, and sandwiches were fresh and flavorful but if you want a nutritious meal I suggest the owner’s homemade savory root vegetable soup! It was fabulous! The good size portion kept me fueled most of the day! Everyone was so friendly. The service was great! Our two times to eat there during our one week stay will be a standout memory from our time in Brighton!”

“Staff are always cheerful and friendly. They make excellent coffee and are very quick even when it's busy. It's easily one of my favorite costa locations.”

“This is our daughter and son-in-law local pub...we were visiting from the Isle of Wight and popped in here for a drink and a bit of lunch...food was amazing..I had salmon New potatoes and fresh vegetables and it was cooked perfect.. my daughter and son-in-law had burgers which were also very well presented and delicious...my husband had scampi and chips which again was delicious... Drinks are good prices and a lovely spacious garden with ample seating . Plenty of parking available. The icing on the cake was the landlord greeting you personally when you walk in .. highly recommend..lovely friendly pub and fantastic food ❤️❤️”

“Good quality coffee and friendly service. Thank you”

“Lovely team members and always welcoming, makes a great cup of coffee and cake, would definitely reccomed and as always takes care of our fluffy friend”

“I have/am in here now, very short of staff BUT the young lady was so up beat and super helpful polite and friendly extremely helpful, she is a credit to Costa never moaned whilst she was a little under pressure.”

“Excellent customer service. Not as busy as other Starbucks but that's perfect for me. The staff are wonderful.”

“Friendly and welcoming. Delicious ciabatta rolls using the best veggie bacon. Great coffee and lots of sweet choices. Lovely surroundings.”

“We held our wedding reception at Stanmer House last Saturday and it was AMAZING! The venue is absolutely stunning, the staff were incredibly helpful and organised, and the food was delicious (our guests said it was some of the best wedding food they have ever had). We're still on cloud nine. We would definitely recommend it as a wedding venue and thank you again to all the staff that made it happen.”

“Had a hospital appointment so went into Costa for a cuppa .. nice friendly staff in there and they're pefectly willing to put 2 tea bags in for someone (like me) who prefers "builders" tea”

“It's a Starbucks, what else to say....! What I would say is that the size of a small coffee to have in is Huge!! The large must be a bucket!! **.. I NEED TO EDIT THIS!.. I was recently refused service by one individual at this establishment as he thought I was drunk. Not his fault but probably just lack of training. I suffer from anaemia, low HB, COPD & internal gastronomy issues. The medication I take can make me drowsy and on occasion present as appearing intoxicated. I DID collapse once whilst in the establishment and needed an ambulance which took me to A&E for emergency blood transfusions. This is something I live with and often attend RSCH for blood transfusions & Iron infusions. I guess all I would say is that it's not his fault; but perhaps some more training from Starbucks for their staff, on interpersonal relationships between customers and employees? Perhaps regarding looking for signs & behaviors of customers, and how to differentiate between different types of presentation & behaviour?...be it a clinical issue and/or a socially disruptive one. To be clear; he wasn't rude to me but merely acting on how I presented, and working within whatever Health & Safety training had been made available to him. No hard feelings or resentment; in fact I would like to come back...perhaps with one of my primary careers next time ?? (they'll buy more coffees!). Regards, Justin Colman. PS; Obviously no Stars for this particular visit but this is a fluid situation and subject to change ! ...I've since caught up with this individual and questioned him on this issue. He was polite & respectful when I confronted him.... There are ways to settle these things but unfortunately he chose to hide behind a woman, whose presence was his defence and I presume his superior. That's a dick-move and he obviously knew it... She was polite and respectful as per her position requires. In fact I liked them both really!... but perhaps he would be better suited in a position that required less interpersonal skills... Gonna give you your 5 star rating back (even though I'm "banned"...haha) Reason being that, as a whole, I can't condemn the cafe as it is... it's just one bad apple that needs removal... PS: I LOVE those caramel-latte things you serve with cream and all that jazz...”

“Convieniently located Starbucks across the road from Churchill Square. This one can get very busy, there was very few seats on the ground floor, but the upstairs has additional seating which (at the time) was very quiet, with only a few people in it. The tables were clean and each one has plug sockets and USBs which was nice. Staff are friendly. The toilets are located upstairs and didn't have a code, which were clean. Very positive experience :)”

“Lovely coffee, the Black forest latte is a revelation.. And the staff are fantastic!”
