Tea and coffee
My favourite places in Brighton for breakfast, a light lunch, or simply tea or coffee whilst relaxing, working on my laptop, or chatting with a friend.
My favourite tea room in Brighton for afternoon tea, cream tea, delicious cakes, and lunch. You always get a teapot and extra hot water so you never run out of tea whilst enjoying your time at The Mock Turtle. :) Highly recommended.
The Mock Turtle Tea Shop
I love My Coffee Story. It’s friendly, they serve delicious and fresh homemade cakes, pastries, sandwiches, teas, and coffees. It’s a small and cosy place which I love and can’t recommend enough.

A few shopping recommendations. These are places where I have a consistent good shopping experience.
One of my favourite cups comes from Fat Face Brighton. I went to buy a blouse but fell in love with a cup which is still one of my favourites even years later. I bought the blouse, too. :) Friendly staff, which is really important.

If you love chocolate, you will love Hotel Chocolat. Simply exquisite. It’s not a hotel, though. It’s a chocolate and hot chocolate shop. 🙂
