Visited this cafe with my friend today and we loved the atmosphere and how friendly the staff was. The hippo on hot chocolate was so cute

Seriously this breakfast was a game changer. Love everything about down to earth, food staff, coffee and location is all on point. If you stomach is well equipped with rumbles in the morning/brunch make sure to check this place out. Veggie breakfast was simply lovely. Keep doing what your doing

I travel countries just to get my hands on these vegan cinnamon buns. The Hove location is on a lovely square and just a short walk away from different parks or the beach. Definitely pop in for a pastry and coffee or one of their smoothies on a hotter day.

Amazing coffee shop, lucky to be so local. Ingredients are always fresh and the selection and quality of drinks are great. Staff are very polite and helpful, always well mainly and clean shop with nice outside seating area, although limited by pavement space.

Absolutely fantastic spot for kicking back with a hot drink and vegan treats – their doughnuts are pure joy! You'll love the cozy (dog-friendly) indoor space, and the outdoor seating options, as well as a coffee menu that goes beyond the standard espresso-based drinks, and speedy WiFi (just ask the friendly staff for the password). If you're anywhere close to Palmeira Square, definitely check this spot out!

I have just had breakfast at this fabulous cafe. At the time of writing this, this cafe is rated 4.5 on google maps. This is a very high score for a cafe in Brighton. But I am of the opinion that this should be a straight five star cafe. The breakfast is delicious. It is also well balanced for people like me who are conscious of diet. i absolutely enjoyed the food. Thank you down to earth cafe.

Located along the street, it was hard not to stop by and check the flavors of their freshly baked donuts. Nice ambiance very green earthy and peaceful. What goes well with donuts? They have a variety of of beverages you would find to suit your taste or cravings they have to go boxes if you wanna bring home some donuts for your loved ones. The donuts were lovely. I enjoyed raspberry the most - tarr and sweet. Then id rank lemon and poppy second as im into the tang it gives me when I take a bite of it then the sweetness lingers. Third the cinnamon bun. Not overly cinnamon-y... just the right balance of sweet and i can feel the warmth the cinnamon gives me. Fourth is the biscoff donut. I thought it would be very sweet but its not. The donuts were all fluffy and the the texture was great. It wasnt mass produced. Each donut made with love and kneaded to perfection.
