As you'd expect, numerous coffee varieties are available here, the prices of which start at around the £2 mark. Alternatively, If you're hungry, you can sit and admire as a sandwich or wrap is freshly made from scratch right before your eyes. Sandwiches cost about £2.50, with wraps about £3, whilst as well as the aforementioned, you'll also find soft drinks, jacket potatoes, cakes, and a nice seating area for you to enjoy your purchases in.

La Palma opened when I was living a few doors down on Western Road. I was excited about a new café,…read moreespecially as it was closer to my house than the Starbucks I usually frequented, which really appealed to my lazy side. For a new business and one that wasn't part of a big chain, I was suitably impressed. The coffee was good: really good. The staff were super friendly and the place spotless. Almost two years on and La Palma is going strong. I am still very much impressed by this place and their general maintenance. I am also still impressed that a local café has managed to stay afloat in both the current economic climate, but also with such fierce competition from the nearby chains that often swallow up custom and revenue. If you're in the area, go to La Palma. Otherwise this review just serves as a commendatory pat on the back and the wish for a successful future!

It's also a newsagent. It also has internet facilities. It is also a newsagent with internet…read morefacilities! What is it with this current trend? Must be a Hove thing! St Aubyn's news has a slightly more professional operation when it comes to its internet access compared to Connaught News (though I kind of prefer the latter's ramshackle set up). It is a favourite with the students of the nearby EF language school, which is probably the reason the owners thought of offering internet access in the first place. Language schools don't always have internet access; the students are young and internet reliant; it is also the most common way to communicate with friends and family left behind. The newsagent part of the shop is fine. It offers everything you'd expect from food to fags and everything in between. Now I see why this trend is emerging. I think I might set up an internet café cum bookstore cum newsagent!

Sorry Joseph, I have to completely and categorically disagree with you. Global links may have a lot…read moreof space but that's it. Compared to the Phone Centre down the road it offers precious little in the way of good service or reliable equipment. Because there are so many computers, the connection is often unacceptably slow. They've also deactivated all rick-click capabilities so you can't save documents or navigate effectively. Furthermore, with the exception of maybe two individuals, the staff are mostly unhelpful and uninterested. As I live over the road you'd think this would be my place of choice and actually it was until a series of frustrating problems led me to search for more reliable equipment. For example, if you've produced a word file on a Mac you can't open it at Global Links without everything cocking up royally. Instead, totter down to the Phone Centre where you can actually view and print your Mac-created word file. If all you want to do is check Facebook you probably won't have a problem with Global Links but if you have an issue of any kind: woe betide you! (Actually, if you're a sexy girl forget everything I've just said: they'll be hanging at your every word, jumping through hoops and generally letch over you at all times.) Not a fan!!!

As far as internet cafes go, this place sets a pretty high standard. The equipment is good, the…read morechairs comfortable and the staff knowledgeable. There is not a whole lot more to say, other than to check it out for yourself. It is close to the centre of Brighton, but manages to be spacious and clean - which cannot be said for some of its rivals.

I stumbled upon this cafe on a rainy Thursday afternoon to kill time before my train and I'm glad I…read morecame. It's a quaint little spot and it was quiet when I came in. There's a big variety of seating options and I opted to sit in the back room where I enjoyed my drink and book in peace. The women who run the place were very kind. I'd definitely come back to try the food!

Unbelievably awful!…read more We had two baked potatoes tuna and cheese. The potatoes came in soaked in butter from the bottom, the cheese was frozen cold, and the tuna was as chunky as it came from the can they didn't bother to break it down! Neither did they took the effort to warm the cheese !! The salad on the side tasted like eating Mayo from the jar!! We also had a latte. And this is for real!! 2/3 the cup is foam!!! When I removed and I asked for more milk (nicely) the girl who made the coffee took it personally and started trash talking me behind the counter as if I wasn't there. I wanted to return my food after the first bite and leave the place but cause I payed for it I felt bullied to set and digest the uncomfortable situation I was in. Recommendation: stop hiring people because you want to offer jobs and take your business into consideration. You need to hire a new cook and a new barista !! I can see that you take reviews here into action, and the location of your business is on point, and that you're taking a good care of the place. Just a bit effort in hiring and recruiting process and you'll be the next great thing there, especially the competition you have inside the station, plenty of great restaurants and cafes. Good luck!

I first discovered this little London Rd internet cafe when I moved into my house in the last year…read moreof uni, and the internet connection was not yet set up. For about two weeks before term started, I popped into Sky Computers every day or two and spent an hour or so getting all my essential internet admin done...banking, booking train tickets...facebook, y'know, the important stuff! :) At first it felt a bit weird using an internet cafe in my own town, but I got sick of dodgy wireless connections in pubs and I didn't want to carry my laptop around, so Sky was perfect! The rates are reasonable and the guy that runs the place is friendly. They also have printing, photocopying and faxing facilities. I didn't use the 'cafe' and to be honest I think that was probably for the best.

A quick stroll out of Brighton station reveals a high street of affordable consumptions. None come so affordable than the somewhat overlooked Café 37. Smack bam in the middle of Queens Road sits the classic greasy spoon café, fully equipped with bumbling locals and charmingly dated décor. Cheap breakfasts and caffeine by the barrel load, a perfect start to any day.

Very conveniently located just by the Station, this café (and internet café) sells breakfasts,…read moresandwiches, salads, and jacket potatoes. Prices are pretty reasonable, all the sandwiches are under £3, a large full English is £4.99. I had a tuna salad to go, which was very traditional, (I.e. iceberg lettuce, slices of cucumber, tinned tuna and vinaigrette) but it was freshly made (the server whipped out a whole iceberg and started slicing it up, none of those tired shreds of lettuce that have been sitting in a Tupperware). He was very friendly, and the café is clean, bright and colourful. Although the menu isn't anything special, you can certainly do a lot worse in the near vicinity, and there is wifi and an internet café downstairs.

I've always hated internet cafes, and Starnet Internet exemplifies everything I dislike about them:…read morethe service is diabolical, the look dingy and dirty, and everything is overpriced. Add to that that this particular internet cafe has infected 3 different friends' computers with viruses, and you can see why my recommendation here is: stay well away. Internet cafes seem to have popped up all over Brighton, and they are all really one of a kind: dirty, dingy and ludicrously expensive. I cannot understand a good reason to go: when an hour on one of these computers costs you over £1, surely getting an internet connection in your house will be much, much cheaper over time. What on earth is the point? In Starnet's case, the above price is compounded with a really poor service. The computers are from the early 90s, about as slow as it gets and riddled with viruses, worms and that sort of thing. I wasn't exaggerating above: 3 different friends, on separate occasions and different computers, got 3 different viruses. If you do desperately need to go to an internet cafe, why go to the one where you'll definitely pick something up that you don't want to transfer onto your own device. Starnet also offers various mobile phone gizmos (who buys those?) and extortionately priced scanning, printing and faxing: service I have never tried, and certainly never plan to. Scanning simply does not cost £1 per page, that's just ludicrous. I wish there was a lower star rating than 1 to give, as Starnet exemplifies everything you wouldn't want in a business. This is the worst internet cafe I've ever been in, and possibly the worst business in Brighton. Cross the road to avoid.

This place is a handy little resource, situated half way up St James' Street. It's pretty dingy and…read morethe computers look very '90s, but it's very useful if you've got work to do and your pc crashes on you, or if you've just moved to the area and haven't got internet up and running yet. Prices are pretty standard - from 50p for half an hour. They provide other resources too like phone unlocking, repairs, printing, scanning, sim cards, faxing... It can look a bit dodgy though, with loads of different phone and pc accesories higglety-pigglety under the counter, for pretty cheap prices. One thing to beware of too - scanning is a rip off at £1 per page! And if you don't have a memory card they'll make you pay an additional 50p to email elswhere, plus more for printing if you need that - it's a bit of a bummer as I've found nowhere else nearby that does scanning.

Yet another Brighton convenience store/corner shop, North Street Food and Wine is a little more…read moreconvenient than most corner shops for me, being directly on my way back home from the North Laine area. I often seem to end up here on my way home, if money's tight, picking up some cheap grub, and for that this store is absolutely fine. Just don't expect anything too fancy: it is just a convenience store. Run by the same people that run All Sorts across the road, North Street Food and Wine is definitely the better of the two shops. They have more on offer, not just booze and magazines, and it can legitimately replace a cheap food shop if you're just looking for microwave pizzas and crisps. I have to admit the occasional horrible food binge: every now and again, food like that is all I really want, making this the right place to go. As stated above, this is a convenience store: don't expect the world from the stock. If you're looking for anything beyond cheap, tasteless snacky bits and pieces, you should be shopping elsewhere. Also, offering lots of cheap food but smacking on a huge card handling fee is not my idea of a fair deal. Especially when it seems to change depending on who's serving... In the end, North Street Food and Wine is convenient and has a larger stock than most convenience stores, so it is a lot better than many of the convenience stores that dot Brighton's shopping landscape. Just don't expect healthy food, or anything out of the ordinary.

This convenience store looks very similar to the one opposite the road(All Sorts? Or All In Here? I…read moreforget...), so I guess they're owned by the same people. If so, then this store is the better of the two (although lacking an internet cafe, but then why would you need another one 30 seconds away?!). Here you'll find your usual array of cheap snack foods, as well as a few basic grocery/household items. They also sell individual fresh fruit pieces, displayed outside, which can be quite handy if you're on the go.

I…read morewas literally driving down boundary rd on my way to deal with a phone problem of mine again. For some reason clocked a little phone shop/ internet cafe. Always in it to save a penny or two ,ie petrol. Pulled over whent in, and was pleasantly surprised. The place looked clean and tidy,well stocked and organised. Do have to say though.wasn't met with a nice smile or welcome. The guy looked proper miserable.Like he had the hole world on his shoulders. Or it could have been the site of my ugly mug. Don't know, but a smile or fake grin would have been nice. Anyway I took out my old basher of a phone that wasn't working. Every time you put it on, the screen goes all fuzzy. So I asked if he could fix it. I was told yes know problem. How much I said, and was plesently surpprised with the answer.£25. I think and thought that was pretty good. I know if I whent to town, they would have charged me more..so he took my name and number, and said, I'll call you when it's ready. Ready being a couple of days. Even more impressed. I then asked about a screen protector for my phone. He said I don't need one, it has one on it already. I never new. So he could have done me, and been a couple quid up. He never. So that also tells me that halo halo are also honest. Rare in today's day and age. Looking around the place,it looked good. Monitors and keyboards well spaced out, and nice leather high chairs. Coming outside to take a phew snaps of the outside, it looked a bit shabby, but know reflection on the inside. A overall good experience. Will defo be going back here again if I have anymore phone problems. I highly recommend.
