"Absolute gem of a cafe that we stumbled upon back from Brighton Pier. The coffee and hot chocolate were the best we’ve had in the UK. The muffins were scrumptious. Will definitely be back again when back in Brighton."

"A great cafe within view of Brighton Pier suffering from the regenation/demolition on the sea front. Once situated by the coach station this cafe with its lovely owners is now overlooked - but if you need a wonderful atmosphere & chocolate to die for search out this cafe. They lady is super friendly and describes the chocolates with love. I popped in for a coffee - latte was exceptional compared to standard cafes - and was tempted to cake. But the stars are the magnificent array of chocolates - a rainbow of deliciousness. Just let these beauties melt on your tongue for a flavour delight. Take your time to savour - these are special. I wish I lived in Brighton to visit weekly but I was there on a day coach trip from the Isle of Wight. If you are near or a visitor like me try this cafe. I cannot recommend highly enough."

"What a delightful discovery! We were looking for a place to grab a morning coffee, saw a sign and decided to give it a try. We immediately fell in love, such gorgeous decor and delicious coffee. The snacks, especially the bonbons, blew me away (completely handmade!) My favorite place I have ever gotten a coffee in Brighton! If you're looking for a cafe, this little hidden gem is definitely worth giving a go <3"

"We had a lovely experience here. The owner was very friendly and chatted with us and other visitors while at the café. The place is beautifully decorated and we loved how everything was layed out. Lots of seating including benches outside where we sat and soaked up the sun. Lots of drinks and tasty treats to choose from. We had Lattés and they were so flavoursome. I must recommend the pistachio brigadero, absolutely delicious! Thanks again, we will definitely be back soon."
