Llevó a mi novio aquí para un regalo de cumpleaños ya que está obsesionado con los juegos y la nostalgia retro gamer. Nos lo pasamos muy bien y fue encantador ver su emoción al poder jugar juegos de su infancia. El tipo que nos sirvió era encantador y super servicial. La comida era genial, el café era genial. Buena relación calidad-precio también, deffo volverá!

Beautiful young lady serving the delicious food seemed in total control, apologised for the slight delay (not her fault) while we were thoroughly entertained by the young daughter of the owner! Will definitely return 👏👏👏

Tuve un batido allí recientemente. Por lo general están bien, pero este sabía demasiado jugo de manzana en lugar del mango que pedí - supongo que eso es con lo que se riega. El tipo que trabaja allí siempre parece llevar la misma ropa que yo he estado en varias veces seguidas y tbh es un poco mingh no cambiarse de ropa todos los días si estás delante de casa!

Really enjoy the coffee and they're very accommodating with allergens. Great place to kill and hour or so with some sonic and a bite. One of our favorites.

We had the best ever time! The full English breakfast was amazing delicious best ingredients and just perfect! The drinks were so good, the atmosphere is chilled and relaxed and we loved playing the retro board games from childhood especially Guess Who. I highly recommend this cafe for coffee too as the seating is very comfortable and the atmosphere is conducive to a quiet conversation, reading or study as well. Thank you!

Interior is trendy and retro-ey but the atmosphere was quite tense and a bit unwelcoming. I ordered the waffles, took quite a while (nearly 40 minutes) and the shop was nearly empty), and it was lukewarm. The concept is really cool but sadly won't be returning. You're better off just playing games at home with friends + making your own food.

Popped by for a coffee on the way to see clients in town, great space with a lovely team. Will definitely have to pop back when I've got more time and smash out some classic retro games, the menu looks awesome too. Thanks gang 🙌

I visited with my girlfriend and our 7 year old son for breakfast and a couple of hours of retro gaming. We all had a brilliant time! We played on their N64 and introduced my family to Goldeneye which became a firm favourite as we played the numerous games on hand. The food was great too with a good selection for all of us. The breakfast burrito is definitely worth a try. The staff were very friendly and helpful too.

I had the pleasure of trying out 1UP cafe on UberEATS for the first time, and let me tell you, it was a delightful experience! I was craving a relaxed English breakfast in the comfort of my bed, and they truly delivered. The breakfast arrived piping hot and impeccably fresh, thanks to their thoughtful packaging. I also savored a fantastic iced latte, expertly sealed to ensure no mishaps along the way. The food quality left me thoroughly impressed. However, I must mention a minor suggestion: the slices of toast, bundled together with the rest, became slightly soggy from the steam. It's a tiny detail, really, but perhaps packing them separately in a paper bag could preserve their crispness. I couldn't help but admire the captivating online photos of the café and the tantalizing array of other dishes they offer. I'm already looking forward to visiting them in person soon to experience it firsthand. With that being said, I wholeheartedly give them a resounding thumbs-up for the wonderful experience they provided.

Fantastic little retro themed 'greasy-spoon' (meant in the best possible way... This is an English term of endearment for you non native speakers) Any way it has a great vibe and an impressive set up with lots of retro consoles set up at most tables and even some sunny outside seating. There's a good community vibe with sign up sheets for events like board game nights and Magic the gathering drafts. The food is good too... I had one of the best fried egg sarnies ever...

Amazing place. Been here a few times for smash bros tournaments that are played biweekly and it's always the highlight of my weekend. Great staff and a really nice location make it a nice place to go and hang out or to compete in some of the various tournaments hosted there. They also sell some games there and have really great prices which is a cool bonus.

A haven for gamers and geeks alike! Having moved to Brighton recently, we wanted to head over to 1UP for ages and finally took the opportunity on a sunny Saturday to pop by! Worth it? 100%! In the heart of the high-street and 5 minutes walk from the sea/beach, 1UP Cafe is built with love and a passion for good food, great games and awesome vibes! A Triforce of goodness that make it a *must visit* in Brighton! There are tables full of awesome retro games/consoles, from a SEGA Mega Drive Mini to a SNES mini, GameCube and Nintendo 64 as well - loads to pop in and play! If you're craving a little arcade fix, there's a Street Fighter II cab waiting for those frantic button presses, too! With themed bars/cafes, food can be a bit hit/miss - but with 1UP, wowzer... Bowser - Super fresh, absolutely tasty and great value, too! I had the Bowser Breakfast and blown away at how good it was - awesome portion size, packed full of flavour and not greasy, either! Paired with a smoothie and you're set for some gaming fun! Lots of options on the menu for veggies, sweet treats and drinks - well worth stopping by for a bite if you're in the area! Loved the vibes too - everyone working there was super friendly from the moment we walked in, super-attentive and great service! A great spot in Brighton with excellent entertainment, food, service - highly recommended!

When I saw this place has opened up nearby I was really excited. It's a really decent cafe with a menu to fit many wants, the tea is great and they've got an amazing hot chocolate too! On top of that, you get to play some awesome 'retro' games and tabletop games. Come as a pair, or come in a group and there'll be something for you!
