Iydea was exactly what I was looking for as a lunch option on a recent visit to Brighton. There are…read morea lot of junk food vegan options in Brighton (which I was trying to avoid) so finding a place that does fresh, canteen style plates was a savior. The staff behind the counter helped explain the meal sets and quickly dished out each of my selections. I got a curry with steamed veggies and orzo on the side. So delicious! The space itself is low key--no pretension and a good amount of seating when I was there around noon on a Friday. I'll definitely be back my next visit to Brighton.

Decent place to eat at, probably one of the better priced options. For about £6.50? you get a small…read morelunch box (take away) with one main and two sides. I love the vegetarian scene in Brighton and this place is definitely a way to get tasty and healthy food. The vegan lasagna was really good, a very strong tomato and cheese flavor and soft cooked pasta. The carrot and sweet potato purée wasn't as sweet as I thought. The chickpea Greek salad was fine. I really loved the seed topping, I thought that it would've been better on another savory side but it was a nice crunch.

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.

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!

Moksha café is very student friendly ... Often, when I sit in a café and plug in my laptop, one of…read morethe servers looks at me like she's trying to decide whether to charge me more for my coffee now that I'm draining the electricity. Moksha, on the other hand, has outlets under almost every table. I'd say almost half of the customers were typing or surfing away on the free wifi whilst I drank my tea. And it was delicious tea - winter spiced red. Mmm. Moksha offers many different flavours, all for £1.50, and other hot drinks like mochacinos, americanos and lattes in two sizes. Smoothies are £2.95 each and named things like, 'Cardio Angel' and 'Flu Fighter.' Yummy and healthy-sounding. Snackables range from cakes (such as carrot cake, blueberry and cinnamon loaf, and brownies) to sandwiches, quiches and jacket potatoes. It looks like a great place to stop for lunch; as menu items are all under £5. Meal-size salads are the most expensive, at £4.50, and I'm quite tempted to return for the Roasted Butternut Squash and Feta salad. Wow-y. With plenty of tables and couches, friendly staff and the multitude of available outlets, I'll definitely be back here to work on my term paper/sample some deliciousness in the near future.

Hmmm...i've hesitated in reviewing this place previously, simply because I couldn't make my mind up…read morewhat to think. I'm not sure I have a coherent opinion now, but I'm gonna share my rambling thoughts... Moksha is an independent cafe. Tick, we like that. The name is interesting and comes from Sanskrit and according to their website, "Moksha frees the soul from all limitations, restrictions and conditions whatsoever, conferring full and total satisfaction and peace." Interesting. Why then does this place look like a Starbucks? Maybe it's just me, but full and total satisfaction are not found in pleather furniture and boring, standardized decor. Inject some character and individuality, and then talk to me about freeing my soul! I just don't really understand- the last thing we need is independent businesses mimicking multinational corporate chains, especially in Brighton, which is fast losing it's face. Beyond my own personal grievances, this cafe does nice food (jacket potatoes, quiches, sandwiches and salads), which is fresh and tasty. It does also have a nice chilled (if manufactured) ambiance and they have occasional gigs and free wifi. Just not the stuff dreams are made of, at least not for me!

They had a whole board describing latkes so I ordered a Cheese and Chorizo Latke. The staff was friendly, heated it up, and put it in-between two plates and in a bag for me. My first reaction was wow, this latke is heavy! Unlike the ones I'm used to, this latke was super dense and not crispy. For just £3.25, I was too full for lunch. I liked that there was filling in the latke, but it was a bit bland and overly oily (though let's be real, when are latkes not super oily?), and it felt like I consumed an unnecessary amount of empty calories (correction: I did, not that I have any regrets). Although I wasn't blown away, Hells Kitchen had a ton of lunch options and is a solid spot with super reasonable prices.

This is my new favourite place in town, I've been here three days in a row and each time have been…read moreblown away! This is a humble independent cafe selling decent coffee and excellent home cooked food. The owner Elina hails from the Oseta region of south Russia and has brought some of the local cooking knowledge with her to breezy Brighton, and you can tell. The food is exquisite, cooked to perfection and the menu is packed with inventive recipes. Specials change regularly and there is plenty of choice on the regular menu. I recommend the Oseta's House, a delightful dish of scrambled egg with halloumi, tomato, and spinach... it really is to die for! Coffee is good (to this writer's taste buds anyway, but I'm no coffee aficionado) and there are plenty of other choices on the drinks menu. Honestly, if you haven't been here you need to get down immediately. Right now. Drop what you're doing this instant. You won't regret it.

I had the avocado and smoked salmon on sourdough the first time and the fennel sausage and lentil stew the second time. I also had a brilliant fresh lemon and ginger tea and the staff were brilliant - really chatty and friendly, but not invasive. It was the right balance between informal and professional and I really appreciated it. I even left with a slice of Guinness cake (which was to die for). I really love this little spot, and certainly will be back to try the meat and cheese dishes.

The Vegetarian Roll was also a big win for my wife.

Over the past three years, I've made it a mission to visit this shop pretty much every time I've…read morebeen in Brighton. What started as a place I was kind of keen on has become somewhat of a pilgrimage and, while my arteries are suffering for it (note well: there will be cheesy goodness), my trips to Croque Shop are often the highlight of my trip. The Croque Madames are to die for, with a great balance of cheese to bechamel and a balanced construction that means you can take them away without them disintegrating instantly, and the shop owner is plain lovely. The range of sausage rolls also seems to be ever expanding, and the mustard and pork one I had the other day was delicious - just the right amount of mustard to add flavour without overpowering the filling. This place only seems to get better and better!

I loved that they paired it with almond milk instead of Greek yogurt! I had a small pot of tea with it and it was lovely! My friend is gluten and dairy intolerant so this place was perfect! She got a raw chocolate hazelnut bar and one of their vegan scones(it did have wheat)! She was even able to get an almond milk double latte. We loved infinity foods!

In the spirit of their parent company, Infinity Cafe make it their mission to serve food that is both healthy and tasty and they succeed! This is one of my favourite places to sit with a coffee on a sunny day. They have seating outside as well as a built in bar that looks out on to the street. Weather permitting, the front of the cafe will be entirely opened up, creating a very European feeling street cafe vibe. The salads are yummy, cous cous, med veg, greek...all SO good. I can also recommend the cakes, especially the carrot cake...its really tasty and you know it can't be too gluttonous, if Infinity made it!
