My partner and I came here to work remotely for the day and it was a wonderful experience. The wifi is fast (~10 mbps download and upload) and there are power outlets for nearly every seat along the wall. Lots of seating and tons of natural light. Clean bathroom downstairs. They could check on it more often to resupply the toilet paper (but are very nice if you request it) The customer service is really nice and professional. You order at the front and they bring it to your table. Food was so good, maybe the best I've had in the UK. The shakshuka was the best we've ever had, the flavoring was excellent and I'm pretty sure they use real tomatoes instead of canned tomatoes. They also added eggplant which made it unique. The vegetarian English breakfast was good but could have used some condiments on the side such as butter, mayo, ketchup or some sort of sauce or pickled veggies. Chai latte was delicious. I love that their hot drinks came out really hot so it stayed warm for a good while. It would be nice to have a space that's quieter and dedicated to work/phone calls. They have this section on the left when you walk in that would seem like a good place for it but there was a loud group that came in which made it hard to work.
Overall, one of our favorite cafes to work remotely/hang for the day and we will definitely come back here next time we swing...
Read moreFirst visit there and the place totally exceeded all expectations. Food beautifully cooked and nicely presented. They put a few leaves on the side as garnish which I don't usually have as lettuce etc can come out limp very often but this was so fresh with a few little pomegranate seeds on top. Service was second to none. The staff were on the ball, attentive and experienced without making you feel rushed. Very clean looking including the toilets, although it wasn't yet mid morning but getting busier. Only downside was slightly too high energy music as it sounded a bit 'nightcluby' and just wanted to relax after a hard week, so something slightly more melodic would have hit just the right note (pun intended). Brilliant place though as others might like the upbeat atmosphere of Brighton and it really is now going to be my favourite place for breakfast or lunch despite living in Lancing. Coffee was also excellent. Asked for extra hot and that's exactly what I received as usually, despite the request, it tends to come out luke warm. I've often passed this place on the bus which always looks busy and delightful. The experience surpassed the aestics. Good old fashioned manners and service at this delightful place with nothing slopped down in front of you without a even a smile. Wonderful...
Read moreA very disappointing first experience, I had the SUNNY SIDE UP , £8.90, which the menu advertise as "Two fried eggs, avocado mash, sourdough bread,roasted cherry tomatoes". What did I get instead? Two fried eggs, pieces of avocado, white dry bread and two sad raw cherry tomatoes. I read on one of the reviews from 4 weeks ago that someone had a similar experience and the cafe promised they will address this issue with the kitchen staff, but they either forgot or simply do not care. I do agree that the plate shows lack or passion or interest for food or hospitality experience which is sad for a cafe with a nice location and atmosphere. The staff seem friendly but also show a lack of training or direction as we saw a couple of tables with dirty dishes on our arrival and no one had bothered to clear it up...
