“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!”

“As always Top Notch Nosh. Delighted to witness more new customers discovering this rare gem. We frequently plan trips to Brighton around Burger Bros opening hours. Pictured: Bennetton with Halloumi and v.hot chilli”

“Came across this place when I first been to Brighton and ever since have been my go-to for Japanese food in Brighton. The katsu is served authentically, crispy on the outside yet tender on the inside. Their ramen was delicious as well, but nothing very notable. Their bento boxes is an experience. Especially the unagi bento. I have tried several of their sashimi and sushi, all were delicious and most importantly fresh! They’re quite generous with their portions. They have seasonal menus which are delicious every time. Their lunch set is such a great deal, £12 for a very fulfilling meal. It’s a small point but I love that they have proper tea here and it’s delicious. In the pictures are the tonkotsu ramen, hama shioyaki, salmon platter, strawberry matcha dorayaki, and pork katsu. Apart from the food, the atmosphere is really relaxing with the warm wood furniture, low light, and soft Ghibli music. The service is excellent. At this point, I have and will be coming back again.”

“Cozy Cafe atmosphere. Service is friendly and unobtrusive. Can be very full at times,my visit was a morning coffee and snack,very well cooked and presented.”

“Excellent Thai, we come here as our go to for both dine in and takeaway”

“My partner and I enjoyed lunch here today. We ate on the terrace so our dog could keep us company. The food was excellent, tasty with well judged portions. A big thank you to Cameron who did a great job looking after us, and made us feel welcome.”

“Absolutly phenomenal. We ordered a mixed kebab and chicken wings with salad and chips. The chicken and kebab were very juicy and delicous. The staff was very friendly and polite. Overall the best kebab i've ever had in brighton.”

“A most excellent experience! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, it was so fun to cook our own food on the table grill, and our wait staff were very accommodating for our requests for extra lettuce. Dolsot bibimbap is a revelation, and I want all my food served this way now. We are now very full and very happy.”

“A true gem of a market. Small, but I picked up the most divine chilli oil & glorious gluten free & vegan deserts which were so delicious! Highly recommend this market.”

“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. )”

“The hotel arranged a wonderful buffet for sixty people. Nothing was too much trouble and the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Thank you.”

“A great teadional Italian restaurant situated at the heart of The Lanes, so you can spend the day shopping and the chill and eat. Excellent food at a reasonable price. Warm and welcoming and lost of space so you should always be able to find a table. Pasta is made fresh daily. They also do a two course of three course special menu which is very good value. Nice selection of wines. Can't fault it.”
