Perfect little cafe - Edit
An excellent little cafe to meet with friends, have lunch or a snack, or just chill. The brilliant Infinity food shop is just round the corner too, so ideal to drop in here before or after your shopping trip. Staff are friendly, food is delish and a great price, what more could anyone ask?

Fantastic food, great value - Edit
We were in Brighton for our dog's ct scan, popped into Vegetarian Shoe shop at long last and it was a toss-up between Infinity Foods Kitchen and Iydea for lunch. As Infinity serves all organic food and is a workers co-operative, we decided to go here and were very glad we did.
Read moreAll the dishes were vegan on the day we went and I had the chilli and dahl with wholemeal rice and coleslaw and my partner had the same with the addition of courgette fritters. All of these dishes were really tasty and great value. We had a selection of cakes for desert, all of which were amazing. A pot of Earl Grey tea was great, but the real star of the day was the golden turmeric latte (plant based milk), which has to be the best hot drink I've ever tasted.
Tasty and healthy food, organic, a workers co-operative run on ethical grounds, vegan (mostly) and great value: what's not to like?
Pros: Great food and drinks, great value, Organic, environmentally and ethically aware, Workers co-operative
Cons: Not wholly vegan

Lovely Spot - Edit
Amazing workers co-op for a shop with a huge selection of wholefoods and cakes and snacks for veggies and vegans.
Read moreThe cafe around the corner is a bright clean environment stocking many of those snacks and great breakfast offering. Scrambled tofu, beans and mushrooms were my choice with toast.
Had to pay extra for coffee with my breakfast special which was surprising but food was excellent. Lovely vegan cakes on offer
Pros: Good breakfast options, Nice cakes, Very clean
Cons: Little pricey

A Restaurant Without Food - Edit
We tried to eat here on Saturday afternoon at 2.30, and tried to order the All Day Breakfast, with no success -- they had run out. I think they don't quite understand the "All Day" concept. We saw that two other dishes had Sold Out too, and that there were only some pathetic little bits of salad left in the corners of the trays. It was as if John Cleese was behind the counter: "You want food? Oh, I'm sorry, some people came in earlier and ate everything. Quite rude of them, really, but there you are!
Read morePros: None, really. What would you think?
Cons: Everything.

A good pitstop - Edit
Saturdays in Brighton are BUSY which means many of the small cafes fill up fast. We'd hoped to try nearby Idyea but it was full so we wandered down the road until we found Infinity Foods Kitchen.
Read moreHere, we ordered a thali each (£9) and took it up to the busy seating area upstairs (there are also a couple of stools downstairs and some outdoor seating available). The food was good - big portions, variety of textures, subtly spiced flavours, a poppadom on top. Plus the crunchy slaw, two dressings and sticky spiced nuts added texture to the lentil dhal and cauliflower curry.
If you're looking for an authentic Indian thali you might want to go elsewhere but as a quick, tasty and filling lunch in nice surroundings with friendly people you can't go wrong here.

A tad disappointing - Edit
Visited in December 2016, each having the full vegan 'all day breakfast'. The cafe itself is rather stark, with bare board walls upstairs and no attempt at comfort in seating. Cannot vouch for other food on this visit, but the breakfast was not brilliant, overly reliant on a pile of devilled tofu accompanied by a 'sausage' which seemed to be made from the same stuff. The coffee was very bitter (I always drink black, so know a nice coffee!). View over the street from our bench upstairs sort of made up for lack of atmosphere in the cafe itself.
Read morePros: Reliable food options, Good location, Reasonably priced
Cons: A bit bare for my liking, Food could be a bit better thought out, Noisy from other diners upstairs

Outstanding food - Edit
Great freshly prepared food with very original offer that changes over the days. The lunch deal (one main with 2 sides) for 8,50£ is definitely worth it.

Very centric, lovely food and great staff.

Normal food, delicious cakes - Edit
Today I tried Infinity Foods Kitchen for the first time. The raw avocado and coconut cake was delicious!
Read moreI also tried one stew so I can't say, that all of them would be the same, but this one wasn't something exciting to come back for, just simple stew as I would eat at home, only more expensive :D
As there are lots of great reviews I think I will come back to try something else.

Bit disappointed since the refurb - Edit
They had a refurb last year, I used to love this place. There seems to be less seats and the menu is harder to work out. I had spinach and mushroom on toast last time. It was a bit bland and the toast very soogy. I've had it before and really liked it.
Read morePros: Good range of vegan options , Friendly staff
Cons: Menu isn't that clear , But bland sometimes

Lovely vegan breakfast/brunch - Edit
I came here with a local friend on her recommendation for vegan breakfast/brunch and loved it. I had some really tasty scrambled tofu and portobello mushroom with roasted polenta slices, but was intrigued by the delicious full vegan breakfast my friend had. I also thoroughly enjoyed their peanut butter and pistachio vegan cheesecake! I would definitely go here again.

Only Cake - Edit
Great place but the only desserts they have are cake. Cake is bread. I don't want bread for dessert. I want custards, puddings, pies - anything that is not cake. The bakewell tart is cake with too much icing on top.

welcome to infinity foods cafe - Edit
very good vegan food.
Read morenot only classic english breakfast with vegan sausages, also the sandwiches are great and don't try to finish that vegan chocolate cake after you've had a complete breakfast. you'll fail! :)
still, you'll be happy to have the cake with you in a nice paper take away box when you feel hungry again during the day.
super friendly staff, i felt completely comfortable.
Pros: vegan breakfast, cakes and juices, staff

Good quality! - Edit
This cafe has nice premises, I especially like the upstairs seating where you are away from noise and can look out at the quirky street below. There is a good selection both in food, cakes and tea.
Read moreAll ingredients are organic, and almost all the dishes are vegan. I usually go here for cake, because they do sugar free cakes, but the food is splendid as well.
And they have wifi, which is not always the case in Brighton.

Finally some variety in vegan cakes! - Edit
As a vegan it's hard to find anything but a vegan chocolate or cheese cake, a muffin or flapjack anywhere. Even vegetarian restaurants often have a *very* limited chioce of vegan desserts. Obviously it's different at vegan restaurants and cafes but also at Infinity Foods Cafe.
Read moreI was so overwhelmed by the choice that I ordered the weirdest sounding cake: the lime, coconut & passion fruit cake. It was very silly of me. I just had this very childish impulse to take something I can't get anywhere else while in fact I don't like passion fruit and the combination with coconut and lime doesn't sound appealing to me either. So, obviously, I didn't actually like the cake but that was definitely not the fault of the place nor of the cake. It was a good cake - it tasted fresh and definitely of passion fruit, coconut and lime. If you like these ingredients I'm sure you'll love the cake.
Pros: excellent selection of vegan cakes

excellent little cafe! - Edit
This cafe offers a good selection of breakfast, lunch and cake options. The all day breakfast is always very tasty and comes with a free cup of tea before 12.00pm. There are many vegan cakes to choose from, none of which ever disappoint. The food is all or mostly organic and there are fresh salads and sandwiches which you can eat in or take out. Although a small cafe, there is a seating area upstairs and some seats outside if you want to watch the world go by. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this if you are visiting Brighton. There is also an Infinity Health shop at the end of the road where they sell lots of health food/veg and vegan items as well as fresh bread and organic veg.

The Best Place to eat in Brighton! - Edit
This place is incredible. All food is 100% vegetarian and 100% organic. Everything. There are no freezers or microwaves in the building, so every single item is fresh, as local as possible, and organic.
Read moreThe food is just beautiful. Some may claim that it is too pricey, but from what I heard, they are hardly making any profit because the ingredients are such good quality,,and 100% ethical..making them very expensive.
It is rare to find a place this ethical. They are genuine in what they tout. No gimmicks here.
The best food in Brighton. (Well maybe Terra Terre beats it, but that is very fine dining.)
I love Infinity Cafe.
Pros: Amazing Food, 100% Organic, 100% Ethical
Cons: Tad pricey., Busy.

Goodish goodness - Edit
Much like the shop Infinity Foods Cafe provides a good service for vegans, but you can never avoid the nagging feeling that you are being slightly overcharged. The menu certainly isn't vast, or stunningly creative, but the food provided is of a decent enough standard, and vegans are always fairly catered for. The cafe aims for the wholesome atmosphere and ethos you would expect from a health food shop, but the food itself doesn't quite match the standards of other establishments in Brighton, even within the lanes themselves.
Read morePros: Wholesome, Atmosphere
Cons: Range of meals, Value for money
