Simultaneously energetic and relaxed atmosphere. The woman who runs this place is a bit of a superhero. She is an incredible cook and barista, and a character to boot.
Interesting flavours you don’t get at your everyday café. Cypriot lunches. Delicious!
A lot of regulars go here so there is a sense of community. I would recommend eating *outside* the main lunch hours of 12-2 as it is quite small so you’d likely not get a seat if you went then.
Drawn in by the chilled, relaxed atmosphere while I was on my way to the beach. I fancied a quick bite, and enjoyed meeting the wonderful cook, Bengü. The Cypriot Panini was delicious, vegetarian, and complemented by a stunning olive oil. Loved chatting to Bengü about Cyprus, and her life in the Med - really made a quick visit quite pleasant and memorable. I will return.
What an incredible cafe! It's a neighborhood coffee shop filled with the most marvelous humans (perfect when you're out on an adventure). The owner makes you feel right at home, and the food and coffee are top notch. If it's crowded, it's worth waiting or coming back a bit later - this cafe shouldn't be missed!

The place is a little weird but the food is great and the service is exceptional. I've had the best smoothie of my life (Berry Twist), husband had a Cyprus Panini with mint which was also excellent. I wish we had a place like this in London! :)
Now this is an experience not to be missed. The food is simple and absolutely delicious. Being mainly Mediterranean with the same laid back approach of the area the food you can have is whatever they have fresh on the menu. It will also arrive when it is ready.
The lady who holds court over all who come in is truly, wonderfully eccentric, funny and needs to be enjoyed.
What a great visit. We will go back time after time. Loved it
Superb coffee, freshly grounded.Great food & drink options.Very friendly staff❣❣❣
My visit to this cozy café was a star of my first visit to Brighton. The owner was so nice and welcoming towards us. It was my first time in Brighton and she helped us have a pleasant start to a beautiful day by the beach. The breakfast was amazing and just as the doctor ordered. I felt a bit bad for her as she was on her own and had a number of customers to serve, but she handled it all so well, and with a big smile on her face. I miss her and the café. Can't wait to go back!🤗
I highly recommend this cafe. The lady there cannot do enough for you and the food is lovely and all cooked to your specification. We had breakfast and smoothies 2 days in the row and will definitely be back when we next visit Brighton.
Amazing food amazing host just amazing thank you for serving us breakfast for the last two mornings will definitely be back next year for our 1st wedding anniversary
BEST CAFE IN BRIGHTON AND HOVE!
This is by far the best cafe not only on st James street, but the best in Brighton and hove.
It’s a beautiful unique cafe!
The owner is an absolute diamond with a heart of gold. So welcoming. Always always greeted with a big smile (I always feel the love)
The food is simple divine, very fresh and good quality.
The coffee is lovely and I’m sure the fact that she makes it with love just makes it that bit more nicer than everywhere else.
TOASTIES ARE TO DIE FOR
