Cafe Venus in Brighton and Hove

A fantastic cafe with good food and staff . The owner is very friendly and cooks up a great English breakfast. The menu is vast as well and good for all. It is a friendly cozy and clean cafe we’ll recommended

Popped in for breakfast and was very impressed. Generous breakfast portions, great food, friendly service, clean decor. Local neighbourhood gem.

Great food, service and VALUE. Good atmosphere and clean. Any negative reviewers you read should leave the building.

Amazing food, wonderful staff, very kind and helpful and reasonably priced for the area. We will definitely be back, thank you 😊

Went here last week and it was so good! Me and my friend were shocked at the prices as they were so low but for very good quality food and drinks, we are at university so we might make this our regular place for brunch/lunch! The waitress was lovely and gave me a biscuit and was very chatty and friendly couldn’t recommend this place more! Thank you.

there are many cafes and cake shops in brighton and hove so it can be a bit and miss.we stopped off here last year and found a decent size portion of cake and coffee.went back this year and found it again.still very good with friendly staff and even made us some coffee to try,which was great.

In Brighton for a short stay and this is the perfect place to start the day. Excellent quality breakfasts and a very decent cup of tea. The service was very friendly. Nice and clean interior with seating outside. Good value for money.

Been using this lovely cafe for a few months now. Super quality food at good prices. Coffees and drinks as good as anywhere decent. To top it off super staff and kept immaculately clean. Always feel welcome when you walk in.

If you're looking for a local cafe in Brighton, I would fully recommend Venus Cafe. It's a small cafe with tables inside and out. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Service is super quick and the food is delicious. I had one of the best omelettes ever the other day! There's a really good range of food from jacket potatoes to spanish omelettes, salads to traditional English breakfast - something for everyone and at a really good cost. This is a regular place for me and it never fails to deliver.

Came here for breakfast as it wasn't too far from our hotel. Had a lovely 'healthy breakfast' (as named on the menu) of poached eggs on toast with salmon, avocado, and salad. Poached eggs were slightly overdone but still a little runny. Overall was a lovely breakfast and large portion. Cute little cafe!

We've been many times with different friends because the food is always excellent, quick, and cooked just right while being very economical. The staff are friendly and gracious so you feel at home. It's the best value cafe in Hove.

Sited in lively part of brighton with floor to ceiling windows looking out on western road.peaceful atmosphere. Friendly staff. Well managed. Salads reccomended.

Popped in here on Sunday morning for 3 bacon rolls to take out. Was asked if I wanted rolls, baguette or baps. Chose baps. Took bag back to our accommodation only to find 3 tiny burger sized buns. Very salty bacon inside and the price was £10:95 not exactly cheap ! Not impressed.

I came here with my partner and sister and was warmly greeted by a very friendly chap at the counter. We only popped in for some tea and smoothie but as soon as we found out they make their own baklavas, we couldn't resist. It was absolutely delicious. They also had a selection of other cakes and cookies which I'm sure were just as scrumptious. Would highly recommend!! 5 stars all round! :)

It's a typical Joe's cafe. Good menu selection. Reasonably priced. Very friendly staff. It's a popular place. Good location for a quick breakfast or lunch.

Since our daughter moved to Hove, we have been to this cafe several times and not been disappointed yet. It feels comfortable and homely and you are made welcome. The food is fresh and plentiful and it's very good value. The roasted vegetable omelette is delicious and very filling, also the breakfasts are fab.Will definitely go back again and again.

Been to this lovely cozy café! Location is good ! Very good quality of food and handmade drinks! service is very kind and attentive😋

Amazing staff and very friendly. Perfect menu of choice and everything fresh. Amazing jacket potato’s !! And very good smoothies!! Definitely on of te best cafes in Brighton & Hove

If you happen to like omelettes- Oh, boy! You're in for a treat! These are the best omelettes out there! Fluffy and delicious. The food here is really tasty. And their breakfasts are great. They even serve their own home made felafel. Place is very clean and tidy. The man who runs it is one very proffesional dude. Honestly, my all time favorite "breakfast place". Try the omelette. Even if you normally don't like omelettes.. Seriously :)

Fast , comfortable and delicious food made by professional staff that will take excellent care of you all day every day at 💯♣️♠️🇬🇧

Sometimes it’s good when living in a very hip city, to actually go to the places that keep it real. Cafe Venus is a good example. A nice little cafe, with good service and very reasonable prices, quietly going about it’s business on Western Road with little fuss or fanfare, but, I suspect, a loyal fan as everyone of regulars and pleasantly surprised visitors.

Went in as we couldn't find what we were looking for, found this was exactly what we were looking for! Very lovely staff, nice surroundings, great food not too much not too little, good prices. Will def return when we are next passing

I live 2 min from this gem - I absolutely love the place ! The people working there are super nice , I always have the breakfast & it is quality and very reasonably priced - the fresh orange juice is to die for .... & the coffee is creamy and real good . I just wish the place is bigger because it’s most of the time full ..... I mean , that alone speak for itself ;) feel lucky to have that great place next to me :)

The staff are exceptionally friendly, especially the owner who truly values every customer who walks through his door.

After a very long walk along the seafront this morning, I traveled inland for a spot of lunch. I’ve read many good things about Cafe Venus on Tripadvisor, so decided to pop in for a spot of lunch.

We have breakfast at the Venus Café most weeks after walking the dog (This is a dog friendly place). The staff are very friendly. They genuinely want to make your experience a lovely as possible. The food is freshly cooked to a good standard and at a very reasonable price.

This is a lovely place as I'm sitting here in the sun and the people very friendly so 3 stars for all of that... unfortunately waiting half an hour for tepid beans, 'molded' fried eggs, anemic toast, thawed veg sausages..and missing hash browns is disappointing. The fried cherry tomatoes were the only nice addition. Fresh orange was good too. But really, a few improvements needed. Also if you're a student check you get your discount. Even after repeated showing of card discount was forgotten...

I discovered this café about 18 months ago and have become a regular customer ever since. The owner of this café knows more than 90% of his regular customers by name and there is always a warm and friendly welcome when you visit.

Good food, good price, good service and good location. No thrills but for the price cant go wrong. Decent spot for breakfast - il always try and pop in when im nearby and in need of a bit of grease

This café does great breakfast menus. Right next to Co-op on Western Road. Even will do a takeaway. very good service and friendly staff. Another eatery to add to my ever growing list.

Hay un montón de restaurantes en la Calle del Oeste y es difícil saber cual elegir.

Wonderful breakfast at Cafe Venus Western Road I've been visiting here for ages and it never disappoints now super new...

El personal era desagradable y nada servicial. Me reemplaza un huevo para un desayuno vegetariano en espinacas. La espinaca fue obviamente casera de congelados y estaba sin sabor. Me cobraron el precio de un desayuno vegetariano y se olvidaron de incluir granos. No volver.

I have enjoyed my english breakfast with very welcoming company, great customer service. Definitely recommend it . Superb breakfast.

I have to admit that I do come here a lot anyway .....it's a nice place to meet friends .The owner is a Persian guy called Sina and he's one of life's Good Guys.He always greets with a smile and a hand shake .He had a French Chef for a while who was great but he left and we were concerned that he wouldn't be able to get someone as good again!We need not have worried as up popped Henu a delightful Sri Lankan lady who now cooks a storm !Sina has redecorated part of the restaurant with great style and continues to play great laid back jazz from the 40s and 50s.It is a great place to people watch through the big windows onto the Western Road.The food is in truth very good and there's always service with a smile .Try it sometime.......you won't be disapointed

Brilliant cafe, we are regulars as work nearby.Service is so lovely and friendly - food is always made fresh and is very tasty with generous portions. Excellent value. They even hand carry lunch to our offices sometimes which is a mega bonus

If you are wandering along Western Road, between Brighton and Hove, (No. 132), and fancy breakfast, a light snack or something more substantial, call into Café Venus. It is a small, intimate, well appointed, well-run venue where excellent food is served by excellent staff at a most reasonable cost to yourself. They also play relaxing music aimed at the more sophisticated customer rather than the pounding din too often encountered elsewhere.

Once again I found Cafe Venus to be excellent. The food is fantastic. Whatever you order, it is tasty and made with good ingredients. Everything is very clean and hygienic. The service is excellent. All this and the prices are reasonable. Thank you for a great experience

I have had breakfast at Cafe Venus twice and really like it. Sure there will be a third time.First time I ordered an orange juice and a mediterranean

Ha sido una grata sorpresa encontrarme con este café en Brighton, muy buena cocina, lo de las cucharas la verdad que tiene su gracia y bastante económico.

The Cafe Venus one of my favourite and the best cafe down the Western road. I'm going there at least 4 times a week. Very friendly staff and nice and fresh food. Strongly recommend to all

We regularly have breakfast here and the quality is always amazing .There is always a relaxed atmosphere and the staff are great so friendly and welcoming.The owner Sina is a fine Host and his diverse team always try to please you.There is a small outside eating area and dogs are welcome inside and out.

Just visited this lovely little gem with friends over the weekend (so good we went back again.) The service is fantastic and the food is the most amazing I have ever seen in such a tiny cafe even a 5 star hotel doesn't serve breakfast like these guys do. Unfortunately, I couldn't eat anything as had a 'nil by mouth' hospital app but my friends tucked in and loved it.The way the food is served is amazing too and you even have your own little teabag tray with your tea:) definitely recommended.

A group of 5 of us were in Brighton for 2 nights. The hotel we were staying in didn't do breakfast so we wandered up to the large Coop on Western Road. Right next door we spotted Cafe Venus and popped in for a hearty brekkie! Wow, the menu was so interesting. We had full English, Welsh rarebit, teas (proper teabag) and lattes. All perfectly cooked, nice ingredients ( real butchers sausages) and full table service. Happy smiley staff...we said we would be back the next morning. When we arrived, the owner had reserved us a table (without being asked) and gave us a warm welcome. Just as good the second time (try the eggs Benedict).Brilliant, would give 6 stars if I could

These guys really take care of their customers. The service is excellent. The food is all cooked to order with really generous portions. Offering a full range from Full English Breakfasts which have never failed to be great, all the way through to interesting, fresh, really tasty salads. So there is something for everyone. If they don't have exactly what you are after, they will do their very best to try and accommodate and adapt the menu.Really recommend a visit, the location is perfect for a walk into the center of town before going shopping or a walk from Hove onto the Seafront.

I love this place! Everything is great coffees, fresh juices, food, patisseries....I recommend this place to everybody that wants to have good food and drinks and great atmosphere. The staff is lovely and welcoming. The owner cares a lot about his customers!

The food here is of good quality, I particularly enjoy their omelets and well-priced breakfasts, such as the Large English Breakfast for £5.00 (which includes 2 Bacon rashers, 2 Eggs, Sausage, Hash brown, Tomatoes, Beans, Mushrooms & Toast). Staff are always very friendly and helpful. They have decent wifi for customers and a semi open kitchen. They also stock a wide selection of San Pellegrino drink cans, my favourite being the Aranciata Rossa (Blood Orange).It's not massively busy here, so it's perfect for those who want to have a nice breakfast in peace at a reasonable price.

Their fruit drinks are incredibly refreshing during the current heatwave. I recommend the lemonade. Top notch.

Omg... The food of this little cafe is absolutely amazing. They give you big portion for the price you pay, very good quality, even like small detail like tea bag are of premium quality. This is really a good quality cafe on western road. The owner goes out of their way to make your visit enjoyable.we have been here number of times and each time we had great food & it was really good atmosphere. Next time don't even think of going to big chain Cofee shops, choose local and small business as this is where they care about you the most!

The food here is of a very good standard and is well priced. The staff are also friendly. Everything you would want from small cafe.

The manager and staff are very friendly, and helpful. The food is always great, the breakfast, and lunches, with a great choice. The chips, omelette, and large cooked breakfasts are to die for. It's also great to sit outside on sunny days to watch the world go by. I've visited here for over a year, and the experience is always good.

Walked in by chance in early 2015. I haven't left! The service is excellent. The food is excellent. There is a wonderful vibe in CafeVenus. People are friendly. In fact I have made friends with a few lovely people as a result of going there. The owner is a really great person, who cares about his customers. I might add that I'm a critical person when it comes to coffee shops. Highly recommended.

Very hard to recommend. They don't have pastries on a Sunday so too bad if you don't want a cooked breakfast. Not a very well cooked breakfast either!! Won't be returning as there are plenty of others to choose from.

I used to go there often as I used to live nearby. Good atmosphere, nice jazz music always played. Staff is okay. The owner is nice with the customers, but treats his staff in such a rude way.. Shouting to them even when there are customers at the till.Food is nice, lots of choices of snacks, paninis, ciabattas, sweets, etc. Portions a bit small: all day breakfast is poor for what you pay. Prices have gone up in the last months, good deal for sandwiches but one shot hot drinks are overpriced.

We are a regular guest from the Cafe Venus. The coffee shop is small but cosy. Very big choise of menu, the food is delicious and very good priced! We love the english breaksfast and the different sandwich selection, both options very good. The staff is always friendly and polite!

They've recently swapped to counter service instead of table service. What a shame. Who wants to stand at the counter with a menu with a hangover on a Saturday/Sunday morning. Much preferred the interaction with the waiter/waitress at the table. Also, service seems to be a lot slower and was left waiting at a table to be told it was counter service for 20 minutes. Won't be going here again.

This little gem is just round the corner from us and we have been there for breakfast quite often.The owner is a charming Iranian called Sini and the food is cooked freshly by his team.There are 2 large and 3 small tables on the terrace opening onto Western Road .The quality of the food is good and reasonably priced .We like to sit outside with our Doggie and enjoy English Breakfast for under £5 .The Coffee is good as is the tea.Overall a great place to see the World pass by and where much of the World visits !

Great portions for the price. Had breakfast here recently.. Girlfriend had the Scrambled Eggs with Salmon.. They weren't stingy with the Salmon!! Coffee was a little weak. Didn't like the obviously 'from carton' Hollandaise Sauce but it was nice enough.

If you are in Brighton or Hove and need a nearby cafe for a coffee or a complete English breakfast remember this small coffee place, unpretentious but cozy, with a very good service.I come here every morning when I visit Brighton in January with students from Argentina!

I often come here for late breakfast at the weekends. The owner and staff are friendly and easy to talk to. You're always made to feel welcome, and the food itself is delicious.I especially recommend any of their omelettes, I've yet to have one from there that wasn't made to perfection for me. There is a bacon, cheese and mushroom omelette for example which honestly does hit the 5th star for me.The only problem they face is that it's a popular place that gets full quickly so it's not always possible to get a seat but we find the owner will often offer drinks while you wait for a table to free up so rarely an issue.

I visited cafe Venus when I was out with a few friends and we felt hungry. A friend of mine suggested the cafe as it was nearby and he had been there before. So we went their and we all ordered the breakfast (Good value for money, only five pounds for a full English) and I must say it was one of the beat breakfasts I've had. The man at the till was very friendly and polite and shop itself was clean and well organized. Will defiantly visit again!

This is a nice little place for a proper breakfast. The food was reasonably prized, warm and tasty (without being super greasy). Friendly staff. I'd love to come back :)

Went there couple of times to have breakfast. 4£ plus free juice. Plate is very poor: 1 egg, 1 slice of bacon, 1 sausage, 2 mushrooms (very small) and just a bit of beans. You need to eat two breakfasts to fell full. WEnt there again last week and tried the 'large breakfast' for 6,20£. Same as the small one but with an extra egg.NEVER AGAIN! IT'S A WASTE OF MONEY!

Had a lush cooked breakfast here today. Place was busy and the waiting staff were very attentive and friendly. The breakfasts were lovely and not at all swimming with grease and we got a huge flagon of juice with it included in the price. Would definitely go back. £4.80 for full breakfast with juice.

We come to cafe venus regularly and the food is nice but we are extremely disappointed with the service and shall now never bother going again. On many occasions we have been turned away an hour before closing and told they have stopped serving food. Today we went in at 10 past 5 and were rudely turned away by someone who rudely mumbled that they had stopped serving food, which is confusing as the cafe closes at 6. We then walked past 10 minutes later only to see a whole new table of customers eating food?!!!!! Its very strange and we don't understand why they are so rude and always seem to tell us the kitchen is closed even tho they are clearly still open. we shall be taking our business else where and will tell all our local friends the same.

We popped in here just before heading home to Scotland today, had a lovely experience. Staff were lovely and friendly, food was tastey and excellent value. Delicious home made cakes and nice little extra touches that make it memorable. Sometimes it's the little simple things in life that are really appreciated eg little biscuit with teas/coffees, mixture of toasted breads with breakfast, large mugs of tea and coffee instead of small cups and also our milkshakes and cake came with skooshy cream and sauces. Toilets and restaurant were immaculate and sitting outside in the sun was fab. Happily recommend to others and hope to return again one day. Thanks Venus.
