Really good food with lovely service and value for money. Would recommend to anyone one I know for omelette & chips served with a smile. Outside seating back (children friendly) and front. Ideal half way spot from Asda superstore to Brighton

More than just a cafe. . . We go every Friday lunchtime and as the weeks go by, it gets busier. The atmosphere is welcoming in a real old fashioned family way. The food is cooked to order, good portions and you can taste the freshness. I think we're regulars now as my tea is being made as we walk in! Lots of people use it for take out's too. If you're in the area or you're local and haven't yet ventured in, give it a whirl, you won't be disappointed.

This is one of the best café in Brighton. They specialised in freshly cook breakfasts and sandwiches with some of the products like bacon and egg being organic. We go there twice a week with friends and love the friendly and polite service. I will definitely recommend it to other people.
