I've been here for breakfast now a couple of times whilst visiting friends in Brighton & I can honestly say this is the place to go if you're in the know! It is in the North Laines & not easily found.
Get here early as the queue grows quickly on a Sunday morning.
I can only describe the place as an old converted warehouse, but once inside it's a true Emporium. Long, wooden communal tables make up the seating area & you are completely surrounded by bays of groceries, carts of fresh fruit & veg and more. The cakes here are truly exceptional & I have never seen their like before, not even in top stores, restaurants etc in London. Don't attempt to photograph them though as I was sternly told it was not allowed!
They are adorned with all manner of fresh grasses & flowers & not even shown on their website.
The food is all organic & truly tasty. The full English was fabulous & even that manages to come with edible pansies!
Boiled eggs are delivered to the table in an assortment of hotch potch egg cups, some I've not seen since childhood.
They have just got the whole place right. In the summer months you can get made up picnic boxes for the beach, containing all manner of good old fashioned goodies.
It's the sort of place that you just have to tell everybody about, it would be a shame if you didn't visit.
