Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We stopped for lunch as a big group - 3 adults, 4 children and a dog. The staff were so accommodating and friendly. Food was absolutely delicious, we will definitely be back.

Had a day out in Brighton and walked past many cafes from the Train station to Starfish & Coffee… probably a 20-25 minute walk. Was so worth it for the warm welcome and comic entertainment from the friendly staff. We had the most Gorgeous chai...and Tumeric lattes and the scrummiest mushroom eggs Benedict ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The only room for improvement would be an update to the w/c facilities then you’d be ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️More

Great food, but expensive. I heard the owner being pretty sarcastic to someone who hadn’t seen the ‘no laptops’ sign. Not sure why they don’t allow laptops on weekdays mornings? It’s always mostly empty when I pass it on my way back from school drop...off to work from home. I’d love to have somewhere to go to have a coffee and work for an hour for a change of scene. It definitely could feel more welcoming all round. I’ll visit again for a weekend brunch, but probably only once or twice a year.More

Always visit this place for brunch when in Brighton. Lovely place, dog friendly. Would recommend booking. Staff so sweet. Breakfast is top notch, all of it delicious. Really recommend the walk out to Starfish then a walk round Queen's Park. Keep up the good work!

This is our second visit and it was as good as I remembered. I had the mushroom hash ,my husband had the sweetcorn fritter special and it was all delicious. The mushroom hash was inventive and exceptionally tasty. It was absolutely packed (they had a...weekend rush on a Tuesday),they also had Wi-Fi problems, however none of these issues impacted the customers and their service was lovely and so friendly. We had had a breakfast the day before ,that cost more ,wasn’t as pleasant on the pallet and had a 10% service charge slapped on it. Will definitely be on our favourite breakfast place list from now on.More

Lovely place and food is great, staff accommodated our request to move table in order for our dog not to trip people up. However their hands are tied with regard to menu swaps. One of our party is allergic to avocado and asked to switch...for halloumi but could only do this if she paid the extra £3.50 for the portion of halloumi. The server said she would remove the charge from the bill but did not and it felt as though we were inconveniencing them hugely but an allergy cannot be helped and they did not offer to take £3.50 off the bill for skipping the avocado, which is the cost of a portion of avocado. The server stated the owner doesn’t let them which did not seem very inclusive where allergies are concerned.More

It's in a residential area, so like everywhere in Brighton, it may be permit parking on the street only,and no formal carparks that I know about. Better to park and walk.
