Great place for a coffee meet up...kids love the park but under reconstruction currently so not so good

Cheap and cheerful. Great for a seaside snack and ice cream.

Decent enough cafe for a coffee (or a much needed pint on a hot day) but quite pricey. Service leaves much to be desired. The inside is cramped and often it's like a scrum trying to get to the counter to get served. Could do with being redesigned.

Lovely fry up and amazing coffee! Loved all the FBS memorabilia. Will definitely be back next time I'm in Brighton!! 😊

Absolutely amazing location and great playground for kids. Sadly food was very disappointing. We were torn whether to have light lunch or not. When we decided to get a bite we were not happy, the wait between the dishes was so long that my friend had eaten hers before I got mine and hers was cold. I had to take mine and eat in a car as our parking ran out. Good value and kid friendly but in hindsight I wish I didn't bother.

Working on redevelopment. Have breakfast at 10am every day. And sometimes share with one of owners dog. Which is absolutely fine. She has the best table manners.

Update: Feb '24 visit.
Although there's a lot of regeneration work going on around the cafe for the Hove Beach Park, the cafe is still open! The only entrance is the one facing the lagoon, but they're quiet and very keen to serve you!
Good food, friendly staff, cool vibe, super location, fun music, dog and child friendly. Outdoor or indoor seating. Near to the beach for a fun eating experience!
Great place, lots of Fatboy Slim memorabilia (he owns the place apparently), friendly staff, great brunch freshly made to order.

Absolute local gem, serving real seaside atmosphere! If you have a dog, you'll get a doggie sausage and your dog will demand to come back here till the end of time - you have been warned!

The best scrambled eggs, bacon butties, sausage sandwiches in Hove, served up & cooked by the lovely happy smiley Sandy. Don’t miss out xx

Unsurprisingly very quiet on the Monday lunchtime we were there. Staff were great and the chef even came out to ask what we thought of the vegan burger, which is very tasty. Good portions. Didn't really get the busy party vibe from the place as it was so quiet but plenty of Fat Boy stuff on the walls. Food selection of music and not all pumping beats. Shame about the poor van outside though.
