Little cafe on Palmeira Square. Not fancy, but nice and cosy, with simple seating but plenty of it, and simple fare at a good price. Nice for a crumpet or a sandwich.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 75-76 Western Road

Small Batch Coffee
I’m told that this is THE place to be if you like your coffee, like really like it. On the other hand, I don’t drink coffee, so instead it’s a cramped place with outrageously overpriced, middling quality food.
Verdict: Don’t go
Location: 108a Dyke Road
Lost
Really nice new cafe in the Lanes with a lovely interior. Only had takeaway though – amazing bacon and egg pastry thing, incredible chocolate twist, freshly made. Only points off for being pretty expensive, but then, it’s the Lanes.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 10 Nile Street
Bucket and Spade Cafe
Lovely little cafe right by the playground by the sea. Had a bang tidy breakfast – one cooked, one granola – with drinks for like £16, so a bargain in a great place with lovely service.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 26-28 Kings Road Arches
Le Gourmet
Not really a cafe but a deli, and it’s full of amazing things. I had a bacon and cheese wrap and an intense peanut butter brownie which I would highly recommend. But they have all sorts of olives and such and will be coming back!
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 157 Dyke Road
Revive Cafe @ Emmaus
Massive cheery cafe attached to the Emmaus Emporium which is awesome itself. Super cheap food and happy staff, might not be the absolute best eggs ever but with a full English for £5.75 you can’t go wrong.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: Drove Road, Portslade

Egg and Spoon
Friendly, actually quite spacious cafe with quite honestly incredible food at very reasonable prices. Went twice in one day for breakfast and lunch; scrambled eggs delicious, waffles with bacon and maple syrup hands down the best ever. I keep thinking about them!
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 107-108 St George’s Road
Cosy Cottage
Classic “caff” with loads of sandwiches, omelettes, breakfasts etc etc. Nice interior and a busy place, but I think really just average all round – ok food, not expensive but not cheap, that sort of thing.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 35 London Road
Rojo’s
Sandwich bar type place with a big menu to choose from which they make on the bread of your choice. Really nice people in there though and really excellent food – I had a chicken, bacon and avocado on “tiger” baguette type thing and they grilled up the bacon then and there. Delicious and a lot of value for £3.50. Also do breakfast rolls!
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 1B Montefiore Road

Latina Cafe Deli
Tiny little Portuguese deli serving tortilla and salad, croquettes and patties and various specials. Really good value and top taste! Very friendly and a nice place to sit outside if there’s a free table.
Verdict: Awesome
