Brass Monkey Ice Cream in Brighton and Hove

Excellent dessert place if you want to people watch and have good desserts. Ice cream and the chocolate cake was delectable

Very friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. Excellent range of cakes and ice cream. Bit tucked away but worth finding

Some of the best I’ve had in a very long time. Home made/ fresh. The ginger was a fine treat, perfect balance of flavor. Expensive ice-cream but exceptional, a case of you get what you pay for. We would absolutely return.

Simply the best ice cream I've ever tasted. Owner told us it is all home made and you can absolutely taste the difference. Unusual range of flavours, but do ask for a taste if you are not sure, we had the apricot and cream and it was incredible. Totally recommend.

I'm a regular visitor to Brighton, but only went into Brass Monkey for the first time today. The ice creams are amazing, imaginative and delicious flavours, the masala chai was reminiscent of my grandmother daily morning tea. What made my experience even better was the exemplary service and product knowledge from Dylan who served me. Friendly and informative too. Can't wait to go back. Cheers for doing a great job.

Oh my - the cakes here are incredible, what a choice! My partner had the chocolate sorbet which he raved about and I'm seriously considering driving 100 miles to have another piece of cake! Nice relaxed atmosphere, friendly chap serving and a great location.

We often get a gelato rather than having pudding when we're out eating out, this place happened to be yards from where we ate lunch and what a great find it turned out to be! There are some good ice cream/gelato shops around these days, but the flavours can be a bit samey. This place had some very unusual flavours, without being try hard and pretentious. I had a scoop of the espresso, which was a very good ice cream, but the stand out was the lemon and tarragon which was truly excellent. The guys behind the counter were good fun as well and the cakes looked good (huge!) too, although we didn't indulge.

Lovely place to visit, always stop here when in Brighton, amazing cakes, really good coffee and very friendly service.

Came here for some ice cream and it was delicious. They had some unusual flavours which was nice to see!

Lovely cake, coffee and friendly service. A warm welcome from the young guy serving and a happy pit stop on the way through Brighton.

Delicious, unique ice cream parlour. Though it’s quite pricey, the creative flavours drew us in. The cardamom flavour was a particular favourite, and the service was very friendly.

Terrible service. I ordered hot chocolate for my kids. My 5 year old took a sip and it scolded his mouth which left him in tears and inconsolable. I complained and told the staff about it. They showed absolutely no concern at all and didn’t even offer us a bottle of water. Avoid

A realy smooth coffee. Best I've had in ages highly recommended the cakes are superb got to try the ice cream later.

Simply the best ice cream restaurant I’ve ever visited. Since we found this place on a visit to Brighton last year, I think we have now visited 5-6 times. The ice cream is amazing and always some unusual and very tasty flavours. We will be back again

My husband & I visited today and had the most delicious cakes & coffee! The ginger & rhubarb cake was one of the nicest cakes I’ve had and my husband loved the lemon & blueberry cake! The staff were so lovely & friendly! Will definitely visit again when we’re next in Brighton.

My husband , who has mobility issues called in here for a coffee while I pottered round the shops , he said they were so kind and helpful and when I came back to meet him the lovely gentleman ( think he’s an artist ) offered to dry my husbands wheelchair down because it had been raining … the other young man was so friendly too .. we only bought 1 coffee but this is customer service at the highest level .

One of the best tasting coffee in the town. Open till much later than most of the coffee shops what is a big bonus. Staff are very nice too.

Everything we had coffee, ice cream, cakes were delicious. I’d definitely come back and try something else as the menu looks terrific. Definitely a sweet bosh.

Such great ice cream and affogato. We had the salted caramel, espresso, and miso banana. The miso banana is surprisingly fantastic. We had the cardamom ice cream in the affogato, per Ben’s recommendation, and it was as exactly what affogato should be. Make sure to stop here after dinner in Brighton!

We popped her for ice-cream just before closing. The lovely man serving had packed up but very happily got it all out and was so kind to us. We tasted lots he was very patient so helpful. Now to the ice-cream very tasty I absolutely loved the saffron and rosewater highly recommend. We were too late to sit in and have coffee but next time we will. I highly recommend going you will be pleased.

A lot of exotic flavours to choose from - I tried matcha green tea and saffron rosemary water. Also vegan options available. Very friendly staff. I would definitely come back.

I discovered the BM a couple of weeks ago and met the owners daughter who was very friendly and knowledgeable serving me. I took a friend there on Saturday and met Adam and Ben, 2 delightful young men with great banter and knowledge about the business and great service with suggestions of combos and flavours and also told us the origins of the BM name… go in try the ICECREAM and ask them what it is…

Cakes were all fresh and really yummy. Hoky Poky icecream scrumptious. Lovely friendly and helpful staff. Phil (owner) was super in sorting out a bill hiccup after we’d left. Highly recommended

I loved it so much that I went twice this week. The staff was very friendly; the ice cream was delicious. I tried the honey & lavender today and had to run back into the store to get some more. Great location and excellent value.

Had a lovely lime and courgette cake (their speciality) here with friends recently. A great location, good portions and good value. Would recommend

Wonderful atmosphere with delightful drinks, cakes and ice creams. Wonderful service from the young man with tattoos.

Fabulous ice cream - so creamy and packed with flavour. Particularly enjoyed the bay flavour - subtle and delicious. Impressed with the eco-friendly disposable spoons and cups for the ice cream. Cosy indoor area with seating outside too.

A good range of stunning cakes which were as delicious as they were beautiful. Good value in the city centre. Ice reams sounded good too, it we couldn’t manage ice cream as well as cake Very helpful young man serving behind the counter. Well worth...

Fabulous coffee and friendly service! We came here every day over a four day trip to get our oat milk latte’s and iced coffee. Would highly recommend.

Best coffee in Brighton, friendly and great service, a must visit, iced oat milk latte was great! Jake and darcy are so great ❤️

Nice central location with outside seating area. Lots of ice cream and cakes on offer. Coffee was lovely and service friendly.

Excellent coffee and heavenly cake - we went two days in a row to sample different ones. It’s hard to find good freshly roasted decaf and this was definitely it.

First of all, the ice cream - it's delicious. The hokey pokey flavour is my daughter's favourite ice cream in the whole of Brighton. That's quite a big statement! We haven't tried the cakes, but they look amazing. The coffee is also really good. The...
