Joe's Cafe

Visited Saturday 5th July 12 p.m.

Seven months ago this former greasy spoon was taken over by Daniel and Jane Cook who have endeavored to turn it into a smart and quirky haven for locals and visitors in need of a good breakfast or brunch.  

Don't be put off by the fact that this lovely little cafe is off the beaten track. Situated on Upper Hamilton Road, near the Seven Dials, you need look no further for good quality food at a very reasonable price and a great atmosphere. 

This friendly, family run cafe, is the place to go for breakfast and brunch. Expect farm fresh food and local produce catering for everyone. And we mean everyone. If you are vegetarian, vegan, coeliac, hungover, super healthy, love your meat, there is something here for you. The quality of the food is exceptional, and owners Daniel and Jane are clearly passionate about providing the best for their customers and supporting local businesses at the same time. 

If you are just looking for a spot to to relax, you can surf the internet on their free WiFi whilst enjoying a coffee or a pot of tea. It's a popularity means that you may have to wait for a seat, but it's definitely worth the wait. 

Places like Joe's with it's home-like atmosphere and terrific value for money are what make the cafe culture in Brighton so unique. Don't hesitate to go and see for yourself.

Floriana's Rotunda Cafe, Preston Park

When the blazing heat of the summer sun and the swarming crowds are just too much, seek peace and tranquillity in this deceptively large rotunda, situated in one of the finest relaxation spots in Brighton. Built in 1929 and possibly modelled on the Brighton Pavillion, the origins of this cafe are somewhat a mystery; however, you can really feel the spirit in age in this large, light space.

Sip tea whilst gazing on the dotted lilac and scarlet impressionist picture that is the wild flower garden and inhaling the honeyed scent of the rose garden. Children can learn about the wonders of nature whilst exploring the nearby vegetable garden and will squeal in delight at tadpole sightings in the adjacent shallow pond.

This cafe would really benefit from being able to provide some home-cooked food, but all the basic fare is here to sustain you through the afternoon and to follow is the treat of creamy Carte D’or ice-cream.

Without a doubt, there is no cafe in Brighton with a finer view than this one. Open seven days a week and with wi-fi there is no excuse.
