“ A real gem of a cafe about a 10 minutes walk from Brighton College and 5 minutes from the hospital. One of those places that is so good you almost don’t want people to know about it…one of the best coffees I have ever had and the scrambled eggs with crispy bacon was…amazing. It’s a deli and a wine bar in the evening so food choices are very impressive (omg have just seen donuts arrive). Lots of pay by phone parking nearby and unlike a lot of cafes nearby it doesn’t close at 5pm. Highly recommended. ”

“ Best Quiche ever had! And the vegan Choco loaf is a must try! It tastes like…an Oreo-velvet cake! Staff were friendly, the vibe of the cafe was easy and cozy~ ”

“ This place deserves more praise - what a lovely lovely cafe. I visited today and ended up staying for a good few hours working because I didn’t want to leave! The place is Italian inspired but lives by no rules, serving up a whole host of cafe foods, from breakfast to brunch to sandwiches and some banging lunch options too, alongside the huge selection of cakes and bakes and sweet treats. Fully stoked like a deli with fine, local and homemade pantry items, the place is a foodie dreamland! The dhal soup of the day was UNREAL. So flavourful, creamy, and the perfect consistency. A large salad plate full of veggies and hearty salads was a healthy and filling choice too. I also had a creamy and delicious pumpkin spiced latte, though it was a little lacking in pumpkin flavour. The staff were lovely, attentive and the perfect amount of welcoming and chatty, checking up on my food and drinks and quickly taking away used plates and cups. Not to mention the atmosphere, which is bustling and busy given the small space, but charming and cosy! What a cafe, what a place, and the owners should be proud ”

“ Amazing place for great food and drinks! Very cosy, stylish and delicious! I want to stay there all day. I went for full breakfast, with rustic bread toasts, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon and avocado. ( sorry, eat it before take a picture ) Then I have a juice of the day: beetroot, apple, lemon, ginger and turmeric. Yummy! Fantastic coffee! They’ve got alcoholic and not alcoholic cocktails as well. You can buy plenty of homemade items like jams, honey, bread, organic olive oil, cookies, eggs, fruits, chocolates etc. Highly recommend to visit. It located in Kemptown, close to Royal Sussex County Hospital. ”

“ Just dropped into to grab a coffee and croissant. Probably the best almond croissant I’ve ever had. Great atmosphere and I will certainly return. All food looked fabulous ”

“ A great, cozy coffee shop which is the only place in Kemptown that is open later than 4pm!!!! They have a lovely selection of salads (the chickpea broccoli salad was amazing), and loads of toasties but I wish they had a vegan toastie I could’ve had. They do have a couple of vegan cakey treats (today I had the salted caramel flapjack which was lush, but I’ve had their peanut butter loaf cake before which was also delish!). They also have a little grocery selection which is very fancy. I kind of find it funny people moaning about them not taking cash. Isn’t that pretty standard these days for smaller businesses? ”

“ Food and service was fabulous. Love seeing mixed ages providing services. So how it should be everywhere. Lovely, buzzy atmosphere. This is a very well run business. Many others could learn a thing or two from Marmalade. I could eat there everyday! Thank you ”

“ The quiche and salad was delicious - big portions and huge variety in the salad - I'd happily have eaten it all again if I wasn't so full! Friendly cosy atmosphere. Cakes looked great. Will definitely go again. Few mins walk from the Royal Sussex Hospital. ”
