I received excellent service. 👌🏾 if you're thinking of stopping the seating area is nice with a bohemian vibe which is really cool. 😊 latte was spot on. So many places you go the coffee is bitter and you feel disappointed from the first sip …

Leah is such a delight. She offers fully bespoke service catered to your dietary needs and full table service if you need it. Toilets available to customers too 🥰 …
Alison Dean ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Compact cafe in the southeast corner of Hove Recreation Ground. Hatch service, with some seating under cover and also outside tables and chairs. Generous sandwiches and good coffee. Friendly and helpful staff.

Opening hours on the Google Maps listing are currently incorrect. We walked here and discovered the cafe was closed at 3.15pm on a Saturday.
Rebecca Butcher ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I have been in Hove for a few years now, and I have never stumbled across such a lovely gem of a cafe as this! Leah is thoughtful and kind and provides outstanding service, delicious coffee and tasty treats. Best of all, this is a local community run cafe. Rocky road is the best I've tasted. 👌 …
