The 30 Best Store in Brighton and Hove

“Thank you hugely to Phil who has helped me again with a car seat, first with advice a while back & then again today he’sshowed me personally in my car as it was already fitted how to adjust & positioning etc. To have an employee who is helpful, kind, who goes above and beyond is amazing.. thank you so much as I really needed expert advice- which I got!”

“Bought a VW Golf R was the smoothest car-buying experiences ever. The Golf itself has been amazing so far drives like a dream, feels solid, and is way more fun than I expected. But what really stood out was how straightforward the whole process was. Conor kept me updated the entire time and made sure the paperwork didn’t feel like a headache. If you’re thinking about getting a VW, I’d 100% recommend going through Conor. Smooth, simple, and genuinely a great experience.”

“This is such a fantastic and convenient local store for key cutting, picking up household items for kitchen/cleaning etc, as well as garden and pet care. I was struck by the generosity of the current owner when I went in with a difficult and very specific request and she went out of her way to help, loaning and then ultimately gifting my disabled father a step stool that she had previously used herself in the shop. We were and are incredibly grateful for the kindness shown.”

“Best place to get the Beef short rib and Pork shoulder from the meat counter. Not cheap, but much better than other supermarkets.”

“A lovely covered market with some wonderful local traders, cafes, grocers and unique stalls. There's always a lovely breeze floating through the market, which makes the browsing experience all the more pleasant. The regular Maker's Market and Vegan Market are definitely worth visiting, and you'll find local products and produce that are truly delightful and very rare. Plenty to enjoy here.”

“Excellent service and great staff”

“Joe was super helpful this afternoon, as we had no clue what to buy for our family ski holiday and his advice meant we left the store with the right gear - he was very professional, knowledgeable and patient. If you need ski gear advice he’s the person to speak to!”

“The best place to get fitted for new footwear. Not necessarily the cheapest but reliably I get the best result from going here. They really take their time finding the right shoe/ boot and talking through what's good or no so good about each for your particular needs. Came out not exactly walking on a cloud but very happy”

“Wow got that jacket really nice Love it bought first time I will buy more from there Really helpful in chilly”

“The staff are very helpful. Good stock levels at competitive prices.”

“We were served by Angel. What a lovely sales assistant and shop atmosphere. Knew exactly what I wanted and they were able to find it in under 5 minutes. Excellent customer service and experience”

“I went into Runners Need yesterday to have a gait analysis and to buy some new running trainers. Sofia did my gait analysis and helped me find the best trainers for me. I didn't feel rushed or pressured at all and she had so much invaluable knowledge. I will definitely be recommending this service/ shop to anyone looking to get themselves some new running trainers or get their gait analysed. I also won't be going anywhere else next time I need some new running trainers. Thank you so much Sofia and Runners Need!”

“This cafe has had a super new refurb and their new menu and is delicious! They are also open in the evenings Thursday - Saturday in the summer which is great for a relaxed dinner in the park.”

“Convenient place to get bits for the car Staff are always really helpful, better than Halfords!”

“Goodness organic is a standout gem among Brighton’s grocery options, offering a vibrant and diverse selection of products from around the world. The store’s shelves are stocked with high-quality goods year-round, from exotic spices to specialty ingredients, catering to a wide range of culinary needs. While prices are noticeably higher than larger supermarkets, the exceptional quality of the products justifies the cost, making it a worthwhile investment for discerning shoppers. One of the store’s highlights is its welcoming, community-oriented atmosphere. The in-house bakery and café area provide a delightful spot to enjoy freshly baked goods and a cup of their remarkable Turkish coffee—a must-try for visitors. The emphasis on natural storage for fresh fruits and vegetables is a refreshing touch, ensuring produce retains its flavor and freshness without the artificial chill of industrial freezers. The store’s environment could benefit from minor improvements, such as better organization or aesthetic updates, to match the quality of its offerings. However, this does little to detract from the overall experience. Goodness organic delivers a great shopping experience, blending quality, variety, and community charm. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a more personalized grocery outing in Brighton.”

“Great shop in the middle of brighton and hove. Deceptively large and has everything one could want. The staff in here are friendly and knowledgeable and there are more tills here than you can poke a stick at. The self service ones at least, but noone really wants manned tills anyway, too much conversation for my liking. Anyway I digress, great shop and good selection of flowers also”

“I buy my favorite ice cream and I like milk..”

“What’s not to like! I LOVE this place! Prices are VERY reasonable. I wanted it all! Go go go”

“Brilliant shop. Many good value items for sale. Perfect for furnishing almost any room in the house.”

“Brunch was fantastic here. Food was great as well as drinks. We opted for the bottomless drinks, but as the restaurant was extremely busy was a little slow with topping us up but understandable. Friend’s steak wasn’t great but was replaced immediately. Other than that, food was so good we returned the next day before heading back home.”

“Brilliant shop - good quality clothing for the price. Kitted myself out for Summer at very reasonable cost. They sell everything from underwear, nightwear, shoes, tops, skirts etc to nice dresses - also menswear. Would highly recommend.”

“I visited this store on 8/8/25 around midday. Thank you so much to the gentleman that helped myself and my partner, find a present for his dad’s birthday. His help was greatly appreciated, he had such great product and size knowledge and was very helpful.”

“Friendly helpful staff... relaxed atmosphere....the member of staff that helped me with gortex air force 1's was great. Will definately go back... thnx”

“I popped in today, as my order was partially cancelled, to find pink sandals called Magnolia. I was served by lady with long blond hair. She was so lovely, phoned other stores, write 3x different phone numbers for me to try. And I actually purchased the sandals from Manchester, they will be with me by Friday. What a great customer service. Would return.”

“Very friendly and approachable staff, especially JJ, he really helped us find the right type of materials for our diy project and he explained their offer system.”

“For great customer service and a good choice of kitchen units etc., I highly recommend Benchmarx Brighton (Freshfields Business Park). Lee spent as much time as I needed in helping me to choose kitchen units and worktops and showing how the different colour combinations would look when placed side by side. Together with the manager, Neil, they made me feel very welcome. And I love my new kitchen!”

“Super friendly and helpful people working here - helped me get two stripped screws out of some vintage Ronson pocket lighters I had recently purchased when I had all but lost hope (which now work)! Will definitely be returning here soon for any of my power tools/machinery needs!”

“All you could ever need for plastic trims Guttering facia soffits downpours and windows brilliant staff”

“the young man at the check out was very friendly, asking if I found everything I was looking for.”

“I regularly use their parcel services and they are always very friendly and helpful- would recommend!”
