Serves meat. Was really busy when we arrived and it took around half an hour for our food to arrive, but in fairness they did say it would take a while. Nice balcony seating area, eclectic interior, a few vegan options on the menu. The vegan pancakes were actually really good! There are better dedicated vegan spots in town, but if you can't get in anywhere, this place is a decent second choice.

Fantastic Brighton-style caf with good vibes - Edit
This is a fantastic traditional caf Brighton style (great music playing, memorabilia on the wall and most importantly a fantastic array of vegan and veggie food). We went for the veggie breakfast and veggie pancakes with eggs, sausage and maple syrup - both amazing. We used to live in Brighton and try to stop off here every time we visit. It's super friendly and a really nice atmosphere. We came here on a Friday about 12 and got served quickly (plenty of tables) but I know it gets busy at the weekend. Come here for honest satisfying hearty food!
Read morePros: Plenty of veggie/vegan options., Friendly service and nice vibe. , A classic old school Brighton caf.

Ridiculous breakfast - Edit
Crazy breakfast of pancakes, sausages and usually hash browns (we had chips when we went because they were out), served with maple syrup. Weirdly it works and was delicious. The venue is cool with loads of music art on the walls and good tunes. Good location in the Laines.

Amazing Breakfast - Edit
Very well priced Big Vegan Breakfast. The portion size was huge, everything was extremely tasty. The Staff were extremely helpful, and the Cafe itself was one of the more quirkier building I’d been in.

Enjoyed the med veg and houmous sandwich. Coming back for the breakfast tomorrow - it looks amazing!

Good Vegan Breakfast - Edit
They serve a good vegan breakfast that is very large and has 2 sausages, 2 hash browns, 2 slices of toast, a tomato, salad, a pot of houmous and some beans along with a drink of your choice. The food comes very quickly within about ten minutes and it's definelty worth your money.

huge servings for decent price - Edit
Came here with some friends and was pleasantly surprised with the amount of vegan options available, and everything looks so good it's hard to choose! Ended up getting the big vegan breakfast and the serving was enormous and really really good. Will definitely be returning for a sandwich, burger or jacket potato soon!!! Staff are also really friendly and the food came out really quickly :)
