The coffee I had was strong and flavoured like none I had ever had before - sharp, but not too bitter. Sweet, but not sickly. Perfection in a cute little white mug (with a tiny little handle). This place is cool, but still comfortable, with only a few seats dotted around the tiny interior. It's simple, but effective and very much has a modern and sophisticated feel about the place. The staff we lovely and friendly - just as I like em - and were happy for my friend and I to sit leisurely with our coffees and chat, which is nice considering their lack of seating (they could be in a hurry for a quick turnover, but they were not pushy at all!). The food looked to die for, but sadly I did not get a chance to sample any of it this time around. I'll be back to try it, and to grab myself another one of their fantastic coffees. Check it out everyone! It's worth it.

There's only room to seat about 10-15 people at the same time but it's worth making a special trip for the great service, friendly atmosphere and excellent coffee. The beans are ground fresh on site and both the normal and decaf coffee are from the London independent - Monmouth Coffee Co. Coffee. So far, I've tried the espresso, the cappucino, latte and americano and they were all sublime. For those feeling peckish, there's also a small but mouth-watering selection of home-made brownies, muffins, shortcakes, carrot cake and toasties. If only more coffee shops were like this, I'd hop, skip and jump down the street....

Treacle & Co came up in my searches and the sweet potato hash looks extremely appetizing from photos and reviews. Sadly in the morning once I woke up i didnt have an appetite but I still went to check it out. Since I didnt have an appetite I was deciding on whether I should grab tea or something sweet instead of plain coffee so I ordered myself a mocha which was very tasty. I didnt feel like eating anything so i ordered the breakfast smoothie so I can drink that while on the way to the airport. They didnt have wifi there but it was ok since I still had alot of data and had my kindle so that I can read a bit. The place is really roomy, enough tables and seats plus great decorations on the walls. Really wanted to try the sweet potato hash though but maybe another time if I ever come back to Brighton.

OMG - The best carrot cake I have ever eaten!…read more Treacle&Co is a is a relatively new-ish cake shop just opposite Tesco on Church Road. It opened in the summer when many similar businesses seem to be closing at a rapid rate, but this one has staying power my friends! Its nearly always bursting at the seams but the lovely owner will do her best to accommodate everyone. It has an amazing selection of cakes, all homemade, as well as a fine selection of teas and a limited lunch menu including homemade soups, cheese and eggs on toast etc. I had a lovely ginger tea which complemented to delicious carrot cake amazingly well, and surely un-did some of the damage, right? The carrot cake was full of nuts and raisons, as well as carrot obviously, and deliciously moist, and the cream cheese topping was sweet and creamy - an amazing combination. The decor was delightful too - a mish-mash of old and new, beautiful crockery, and table decorations including an amazingly kitsch cat shaped lamp that I really wanted to steal! Many of the items seemed handmade, including the ceiling decoration made of old-fashioned kitchen utensils. Really nice details and a comfortable bygone-era tea shop feel. The lady owner was very friendly and happy to chat even though she was obviously very busy. This place is a real find. And did I mention the carrot cake...???

It's on a sunny strip of Church Road so its a great place to sit on a crisp autumn or winter day. Unfortunately, they won't let you take a flask with you - which means sitting in the sun drinking lousy coffee. To make matters worse, the music they play is obviously selected to not offend any customers so it's light jazz, acoustic and ambient music all the way. Talk about giving with one hand and taking away with the other!

However, as far as chain coffee shops go, this branch of Cafe Nero ain't half bad! Situated on the corner of Church Road and The Drive, its a great spot and is always quite busy. There are reasonable amounts of seating, the vibe is very relaxed with many people chatting with friends, reading books or browsing through the newspapers. There is also free wifi if you want to get some work done on a week day. The hot chocolate was lovely, as was the biscotti. As I say, I can't comment on the coffee. However, it was nice to while away an hour here on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

I had a chocolate twist pastry of some sort, and there was a wide selection of other food. They have their own bakery and I can see Bake Out bread being a Brighton thing in the future and supplying other cafés (a bit like Flint Owl maybe). In summary, don't go there for the coffee, but go there for the food and have a pleasant coffee if you'd like one.

How fortunate I was! Managed to pick up a white sourdough loaf, and it was one of the best I've had. I shouldn't have eaten 4 slices of toast in one sitting though, probably wasn't the best idea I've had recently, but it was just so delicious! I went again recently to grab a bite to eat before a long car journey. I had the mozzarella and chorizo panini, and I can assure you it was delightful. I can't speak for the coffee as I haven't tried it yet. There is also an array of sweet treats to choose from that look delectable. I shall get around to trying them another time I'm sure.

But step inside and feast your eyes at the daily specials scrawled on a black board wall behind the counter, and you'll soon realise that Lala's Cafe is really something special.

Reasonably priced and serving food throughout the day, Lala's is a great choice for those looking for a quick coffee, leisurely meal with friends or even a full blown party (although I haven't seen it for myself I hear there is a roof terrace upstairs, plus ample seating on the street for sunnier days). Having made three visits in three weekends, I can highly recommend the sandwiches, salad plates and pancakes. All freshly prepared, the servings are exceedingly generous - I've never left hungry!

On this trip, in mid June 2025, we'd promised our American daughter a proper British "Cream Tea"…read more.. Somehow, we didn't expect to find it in Brighton, but this was the perfect place for it! After a long walk from Brighton Marina to the Pier, and a lot of shopping in The Lanes, we were ready for an Afternoon Tea! This Tea Shop is in the heart of "The Lanes", a picturesque location amidst brightly coloured shops, cafes and restaurants, in narrow, winding alleyways that make for a unique shopping area. It was lucky we went in at 4.30pm... They close at 5pm, but we were welcomed in as one of the last guests before they announced they were closed. It also meant we not only got a table, but the place started clearing out before we'd finished, so we ended up being the last customers, which was nice. It's a cute, cozy little tea shop, pretty on the outside and inside, with pictures of Brighton on the walls and an eclectic mixture of teapots, milk jugs and cups. It had been many years since I'd last had a "cream tea" and this didn't disappoint. We ordered some fruit scones and some plain scones (both were yummy but I recommend the fruit ones - the raisins & sultanas are really plump and juicy!). We also tried our scones both ways - cream then jam (the Devon way), and jam then cream (the Cornish way)... I'd been brought up the Devon way, but discovered the Cornish way is actually more to my liking! Both were yummy! We didn't buy any cakes, but the cakes (as well as the scones) are made fresh daily and looked delicious. And I must say, the tea itself was fresh and superior quality - loose leaf English breakfast, rather than bagged, really makes a difference. Our server was very sweet and friendly, and then, at the end, since we were the last customers, the shop owner came out to talk to us, and was super friendly and welcoming... She asked where we were from (always fun, as I'm British, but my husband and daughter are American). Despite it being the end of her day, she didn't rush us out at all, and enjoyed chatting with us. The whole thing was a delightful experience.
