Cafe attached to Yellowave Beach Sports which we popped into. Great example of an unassuming but quality cafe; had a great bacon sandwich, BLT, and wrap. Super chilled.
Verdict: Awesome

Caffe Aldo
Have been trying to find our pizza delivery place of choice and short version: this is it. Great margherita and “Louisiana” which is a meaty one, PLUS major points for quality cheesy garlic pizza bread. We had delivery but the actual cafe is nice too.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 77 Trafalgar Street
Bagelman
Bagelry right in Brighton Station. Lots of different kinds (although points off for no bacon and egg), I had a salt beef bagel with swiss cheese. Pro: clearly quality ingredients, especially the beef. Con: Quite expensive really – £5.50 for that, which seems a bit much.
Verdict: Ok
Location: Brighton Railway Station
Coffeetzar
Little cafe with savoury eats, coffee etc. Had none of these. Instead, was finally seduced by the cakes in the window which look amazing constantly. Peanut butter layer cake and red velvet cake. My stars. Extraordinary.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 97 Trafalgar Street
LangeLees
I’d heard about this place before but hadn’t been inspired by what I read – until I walked past and saw people eating breakfast! So we tried it, and: wow. They’ve got a garden out back to eat in, and we had a breakfast wrap (cheesy eggs!) and a vegetarian “bunny chow” (South African thing – hollowed out bread loaf full of breakfast goodness) and they were both amazing. Really top shelf food, friendly staff, great environment, and you really don’t pay much for all that either.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 30 York Place
Hen
Cafe/resto type place specialising in chicken. They do brunch as well which looks great, but I had fried chicken and waffles and it was TASTY. Just make sure you want to eat some chicken. Or some brunch.
Verdict: Awesome
Location 87-88 Trafalgar Street
Cafe Motu
Nice little cafe tending to the caff – had a serviceable breakfast but it suffers due to abundance of genuinely great food nearby.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 6 Trafalgar Street

Mange Tout
French cafe, went here for breakfast. Eggs benedict had piles of bacon on big chunks of sourdough and was extremely delicious; salmon omelette also good. They do dinner too. Internally points off for not selling Coke, though.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 81 Trafalgar Street
The New Club
American-style food in a chilled out cafe type space by the sea; went here for an excellent full English, and a smashed avocado toast. Great food, really nice staff, although they are very busy! Dinner uses small plate concept and really keen to try it.
Verdict: Awesome
Location 133-134 King’s Road
