Coffee house in Brighton

“Delicious VLT in a lovely cafe. Sandwich was so generous I could barely finish. Will visit again”

“I wanted a breakfast sandwich and a latte and this place did not disappoint. Beautiful ingredients. This breakfast baguette really hit the spot. Can’t wait for the next one . Great staff and the latte was spot on. Thank you for Making a great start to my weekend”

“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”

“A cozy cafe that I happened to stumble upon. The rhubarb crumble was amazing. The portions for the main dishes are also big which is awesome. Really nice atmosphere, as the locals eat here as well, and they were very kind”

“Quirky little tea shop in a post office full of charm and character. A returning customer as just love it here. Booking advised as can get busy. Garden is country rambling with fresh cut flowers in small jars on your table and hand stitched table cloths. Different areas around the garden depending on the mood you want - under a sailing sheet gazebo, small tables, iron tables, for two / four or more persons. Tea sets are vintage-esque with a selection of china / silver style tea pots. Scones come on tiered cake plates; 4 ‘no crust’ sandwich fingers per person + a huge slice of cake (have had a dry slice on one visit hence 4 not 5 on the score). Many varieties of tea + hot chocolate \ coffee available and alcohol to accompany your cream tea if you want. Savouries also available but not tried yet. Toilet available and found by meandering through the kitchen garden - rustic charm! A charming place to relax away the afternoon and leave feeling very full. One item to note - 10% service charge automatically added to your bill.”

“A really lovely restaurant that a friend and I visited Saturday lunchtime. We went for the set lunch menu. My friend is Slovak and really enjoyed the chicken schnitzel. I am vegetarian so went for halloumi burger. We also had a large salad bowl (50% discount with a main meal). . I do think they need to increase the vegetarian choices in the set menu because that was a bit restricted. However, I wouldn’t hesitate to come back here.”

“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.”

“Went here to watch one of the film that was on during the week (Urchin) and had a wonderful experience. Very smooth process from booking online, arriving and interacting with very friendly staff. Then the actual theatre. Absolutely comfortable 10/10. Very clean environment; comfortable seating; and the sound system was perfect. Literally had a better movie experience here than I did at a much larger operated cinema 2 days prior.”

“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.”

“First time here. Great food. Really good. Cooked with love... fantastic service. Finland was just great. Also real value for money. Thank you.”

“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 :)”

“The food was absolutely gorgeous, the full Monty was delectable and the whole vibe of the place was extremely welcoming and pleasant. The service was great, as the servers were jolly and friendly one even gave my child a lollipop for free! I went yesterday and will definitely be coming again at some point in the near future definitely recommend to go if your in Peacehaven”

“I cannot recommend Relish and Alison highly enough. Alison was recommended to me by 3 people. Not only is she lovely, sympathetic and funny but a brilliant cook as well. She did us proud, really looked after us, nothing was too much trouble and everyone commented on how lovely the food was. Thank you Alison and team, you are brilliant!”

“Great place, the atmosphere is just beautiful, amazing food and lovely service. The bread is home made with high quality ingredients. Fresh orange juice and the deserts are simply delicious.The service and staff are lovely. When there is a place with great food and service, I will be back and definitely recommend!”

“The coffee and croissant were exceptionally delightful. I must say, it was one of the best coffees I've ever had. The atmosphere and breakfast were also truly enjoyable.”

“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.”

“I love this place, I'm currently vegetarian but if I could cook as well as these lovely ladies then I would become vegan in a heartbeat (giving up cheese is hard!) Always feel welcome and look forward to my breakfast pancakes and seeing lovely little pebbles. Whether you're vegan or not it's a great place to dine and try something different and new!”

“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 :)”
