Joe's Cafe in Brighton and Hove

Bought a ‘Cumberland’ Sausage sandwich at Joes. There is no way in the world the bread was fresh, dry as sand. No one else in the cafe so no excuses. The sausages were also miraculously cooked in less than two minutes so presumably pre cooked them flash fried on the hot plate. Sausages tasted like generic economy versions not Cumberlands. I really don’t like writing negative reviews but for £4.80 I expect a lot better.

Lovely coffee, cakes and omelettes. If George is there a very warm welcome ,accommodating & attentive but if he’s not sometimes staff are rude, sitting down themselves not serving ( it was quiet)

A very warm welcome at this cafe ! And the food is very good. The prices are reasonable. Thanks a lot !

We booked ahead and visited in a group of 12. We loved everything about Joe’s! The food was delicious, great quality and didn’t take long to be served at all (the smoothies were also a big hit) The service was 5 star, very friendly accommodating. Will definitely be visiting again when we are in the area!

Amazing staff, the lady was very nice and welcoming. Unfortunately the food was quite disappointing.

Huge plate of veggie breakfast with loved ones on Mother's Day. Good quality ingredients are served in a relaxed atmosphere

A lovely cafe that has become one of our local haunts. The food is consistently good and the staff are always so friendly and accommodating.

stumbled upon here whilst looking for somewhere to sit and read for an hour before work - so glad i did! such a lovely vibe in here (feels very homely and welcoming), all the staff are incredibly kind, the service was way quicker than i expected being a busy weekend with a full house of customers, and the food was absolutely delicious! amazing variety of vegan choices - i had the chilli tomatoes (avocado on sourdough toast with chillis and tomatoes) and an oat vanilla latte. will definitely be coming here again!

The boy who served us and speaks a little German deserves 5 stars. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪😃

I recently visited Joe's Cafe for brunch. Despite it being quite busy when we arrived, the wait for a table was manageable. I opted for the Spanish hash, which turned out to be good and offered decent value for money. The service was also commendable, adding to the overall positive experience. While the bustling atmosphere may not be for everyone, my brunch at Joe's Cafe was enjoyable, and I would consider returning in the future.

Walked in and straight back out the staff were unwelcoming no polite welcome not even eye contact. Floor was slippery and slimy and the table was sticky with that we up and left.

Great local cafe! Had the biggest breakfast and girlfriend had a smoky haddock hash. Would definitely recommend!

I have been coming to this place for years now, such great value, amazing food and always so welcoming. Hidden gem this place ❤️

Such a friendly cafe...best scrambled eggs too!

Two days in Brighton for work and I’m so glad I stretched my legs to come here for breakfast each day. From simple toast with a lovely latte to a full English with great sausage it was all topped off wonderfully by the friendly staff and cheerful homely atmosphere. A great little place that I’m really glad I found. 😊

Best vegetarian breakfast I have had for a long time!!! Actual vegetarian sausage (not mashed up veg in a sausage shape haha). Extra points because apparently it's a local company that supplies the veggie sausages. The mushrooms and tomatoes produce was really good quality. My brother had a meat Full English - bacon and sausage was perfectly cooked and good quality. Toast was kind of half toasted/half fried. So tasty! My sister has the cheese and tomato toastie which she said was delicious! Wasn't light on the ingredients! Good portion sizes. The 'Big' was big enough. Cafe was really welcoming and the owner is a real character, in the best way. Lovely atmosphere. Definitely going to be the cafe we come back to when we are in Brighton.

Great food. Jane's Spanish hash, highly recommended 😋

Sorry, but £14.80 for 1 sausage, 2 bacon, 1 egg and some potatoes mushrooms, and 2 slices of tomato is daylight robbery. Free cup of tea lol should get unlimited refills for that price. Im not from Brighton, but where i live £14.80 would buy u some insane sized breakfast for that. Erm, it was okay. Nothing special for the price. Didn't feel very welcomed maybe they dont like tracksuit wearer's in this establishment. But overall, it was a waste of time. My mate had more sausage on his sandwich than i did on my breakfast. Never again

Amazing food, best breakfast place we’ve been to in Brighton so far!

Lovely. Clear menu and good selection and top quality food

Super vriendelijk en heerlijk eten! Ik had de chili tomatoes en ze waren lekker en heel mooi gepresenteerd. De moeite om eens langs te komen!

Had breakfast at Joe's this morning. Was delicious, all very flavorful. Lovely friendly staff, nice local feel to the place. Would definitely recommend it for a full English - greasy or healthy both are catered for!

Friendly local cafe. Great veggie o ptions👍😄

Lovely little spot! Staff were really friendly and sweet, and the breakfast & coffee were delicious, well priced and served quickly. I highly recommend!

Excellent food, great service very friendly. Highly recommended 👌

I came there to try the English Breakfast during my holidays. Top quality food and very kind staff. ❤️

Lovely cafe with friendly staff in welcoming suburban neighbourhood. The food was tasty but if you are going for the Hashmageddon be aware that it’s huge and probably big enough for two. Slight concerns around food waste are the only reason I wouldn’t give this place five stars.

Visited this morning! What a find! Fantastic choice, really friendly staff. Great value for money. Super fast service. And the food….Wow! I had a veggie breakfast. Really tasty, beautifully presented, and large portion. I could not find any fault. Would definitely recommend, and return to, when we go back to Brighton ❤️

Very over priced and ver slow service waited 35 minutes for a bacon sandwich the lady that served me was very rude never again 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

We had the most amazing breakfast today! My children were made to feel really welcome and they even made them their own little milkshakes and gave them a colouring book to keep them busy! Will definitely be back!

We visited on a Sunday morning, my friends being local recommended we go there for breakfast as she was craving the avocado on toast with pushed egg and chilli. I had the big breakfast and they kindly switched out the beans for mushrooms. Every item was fresh, so full of flavour and perfectly cooked. The orange juice was freshly squeezed and the coffee delicious. Very good value for money.

After reading good reviews we headed here for breakfast away from the main city centre drag and it didn’t disappoint. A nice varied menu with quality ingredients and nice smoothies too. Oh and friendly super efficient service too …. It’s a rare thing to find somewhere that cares about their customers so thank you

We visited Joe’s Cafe to celebrate two family birthdays, and were kindly allowed to book the whole establishment for our clan gathering. We could not have been welcomed more warmly, and our every need was anticipated and met with cheerfulness and grace. The food was of great quality; delicious and plentiful, served piping hot despite 14 meals being presented at the same time. We can recommend Joe’s in the very highest terms for every element of the evening.

We have enjoyed Joe's as an excellent cafe for breakfast, brunch and lunch, and knew that they occasionally opened in the evening for fine dining. So when we were deciding where our family could celebrate Rob's 90th birthday, shared with his son Benedict's 43rd birthday on the same day, it seemed to be a very good choice of venue and so it turned out to be. To have Joe’s Cafe to ourselves took all the stress out of thinking about people making speeches, children running around, noisy conversations etc. It is a place that we know and love; and we couldn’t have felt more welcome and comfortable. To have Julia so charmingly and efficiently looking after us - with constant sensitivity to our needs and desires - made the whole event so pleasurable. To have Andy in the kitchen bringing to bear his Savoy-level skills on such an excellent menu was an incredible treat. Each dish was as perfect as we might have hoped. There was a fair bit of planning involved, and they were kind and supportive at every stage; then, when it finally came to the big day, their execution of the occasion itself was simply flawless. This was a major event in the life of our family, and one that we wished to mark in a suitably special way. They helped us to mark it with a celebration that exceeded all of our expectations, and we are profoundly grateful. We could not recommend Joe's Cafe more h

Good service, on a busy day. Good food at a great price, not a bad spot for breakfast. Good coffee!!

This cafe may have good fry ups, I don’t know about them. All I had was a Smokey Joe Hash. The tomatoes were tasty but there was no more than a tablespoon of fish flaked in this Hash. This cost £10, that was £10 for a plateful of spuds, a tomato and an egg. The fish was very nearly nonexistent. Also there was no cheese on it whatsoever. Very disappointing

Really great breakfast, brunch and lunch cafe, the scrambled egg and healthy brunch (smoked salmon, avocado, chilli poached egg on sourdough) are my faves, well worth a try! Really friendly team too, and being a bit off the beaten track it's not super crowded, just a good atmosphere. There's parking on the road outside too so it's great for anyone headed into or out of Brighton by car

Excellent food, tasty and well cooked. We can highly recommend the Full English breakfast. Beautiful coffee, too. All prepared and served by attentive, friendly staff. A real delight!

This is my ew favourite brunch spot. We went recently and will return whenever we need that breakfast hit. It was delicious, we both had the veggie breakfast and were stuffed all day. I went for a birthday breakfast and it did not disappoint. Lisa who was serving everybody was fantastic, working so hard to get everyone satisfied. Thank you!

After a quick search on Tripadvisor for a brunch stop on our way home from a night away in Brighton, we popped into Joe’s Cafe & we found the perfect place! From the moment we walked in we were made to feel welcome by the 2 bubbly friendly ladies behind the counter. There’s a small courtyard at the back for nice sunny days. We chose to sit inside. Food & drinks arrived quickly & were piping hot & delicious. Really good coffee & the breakfasts were delicious. I ordered the big breakfast & my husband had the biggest breakfast (which he had trouble finishing!). Wish I’d ordered one of the breakfast hashes that the cafe is well known for as they looked incredible . Next time we are in Brighton we will definately be returning 😁

I ordered the bigger breakfast but the rather loud lady serving obviously misheard and i only got the big breakfast, which at best is really a small breakfast!! When the food was brought out I explained this to her but instead of offering to rectify the mistake she instead proceeded to loudly read out all the till receipts to compare them to what was on the table and making me feel as though it was my fault. Very poor customer service and poor value, i will not be returning!!

Wonderful food, great service. The staff was really friendly and the food came out quickly. Overall good customer service.

Home of the famous 'Full English Breakfast'.. definitely an all time family pit stop!

We have been to Joe's quite a few times, and this time as a party of six we waited in the rain for 45 minutes for a table big enough for all of is - it's that good. The veggie Spanish hash is a favourite,...

We had an incredible time at Joe’s cafe this last week. Julia and Andy opened their shop especially for our school group out of the Netherlands. They treated us so incredibly well and all of the food and drinks were delicious. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful time both in terms of food quality and atmosphere. We can’t wait to come back next year!

Best place for breakfast! Morning sun shines right in, you can eat outside in front of the cafe, quiet street. Great food and service!

Good service, good breakfast options

Cute little cafe with a simple menu and relaxed vibes. Good for a variety of breakfast options. I ordered breakfast #1 which was sausage, bacon, beans, egg and toast and it was very tasty. I also ordered a decaf coffee with oatmilk which was nice. My partner ordered the veggie hash which was huge and also super yummy. We weren't served for a while but managed to order at the till in the end. It's good that there's a condiments box on each table so you don't need to ask for ketchup or brown sauce. Be aware of the more limited opening hours. Definitely worth a visit in you're in that locale. Enjoy.

Overrated. Had to ask where my breakfast was and it had evidently be forgotten. A vegan hash which was basically a plate full of lukewarm potatoes and a small pot of baked beans. Definitely not worth the money.

Proper Cafe nice cooked breakfast Nice size nice bacon and I managed to park close and not get ticket Will be back again soon

Kids liked the milk shakes that took forever to arrive along with my miniscule flat white in a tea cup! Nachos were nice but eaten long before drinks arrived. I observed a lot of food left of peoples plates un eaten.

Fabulous coffee , great price too!

Very tasty and fantastic bang for your buck. I don't say that often in Brighton.

Cozy local cafe, great breakfast/brunch venue for a lazy Sunday

Excellent breakfast. Best in Brighton.

Unbeatable in the area (and most areas!) on quality and price. Staff are absolutely lovely. Can't recommend enough. Will be back

Eat here or spend the rest of your life regretting it. Delicious!

Me and my boyfriend went today for the first time. The food is delicious and the quality of the ingredients are second to one. Lovely stuff and fast efficient service. A perfect place to have a relaxing breakfast away from the crowds! Loved it and...

Great food and coffee was excellent , would definitely recommend this

Good selection of breakfasts and friendly service. Portions are big so don't plan on doing high intensity aerobics straight afterwards.

My son persuaded me to leave behind my usual Hove breakfast haunts and to step forward into pastures new. So pleased I did. Super food, made of good fresh ingredients, and lovely friendly owners/staff. Already spreading the word. Deffo worth the extra schlep.

Lovely service, very friendly :) Food was amazing too!! Definitely recommend for a cosy and warming experience <3

Lovely local cafe serving delicious food. Avocados and poached eggs on sourdough were amazing. Wish I had a cafe like this near me!

A gem of a small yet perfect local cafe, food delicious and generous. This alongside a warm welcome and fast service made for a perfect brunch. Don't hesitate and parking 1.20 an hour right outside... winner!

Proper big old fashioned fry up! Veggie breakfast very tasty, and really good coffee. Super friendly people, to us and our little dog!

Amazing! Probably the best breakfast experience we’ve had. Savoy standard reasonable prices🍾👏 Thanks 😊

Lockdown wrap and ginger zing smoothie were great! Reasonably priced and friendly service. Would highly recommend

Great little place with good food and personality.

JOES CAFE 26/9/21 Well worth the ten minute drive from Brighton Quality breakfasts at a reasonable price bacon a little overcooked for me but will definitely go back if in Brighton. We were only in the area on the way to Brighton Foodies Festival and stumble upon Joe’s.

Amazing friendly service well worth the visit

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and tasty food, mainly hashes and breakfasts. VERY large portions!

Was well worth the 30 minute drive to this little gem of a cafe ...dog friendly..lovely coffee ...delicious food and large portions .

Was well worth the 30 minute drive to this little gem of a cafe ... Dog friendly... Fast efficient service...Outstanding food and very large portions 👍😋

The food is always spot on. Lovely people!

Good grub with a variety of options so something for everyone, nice vibe, fair prices.

Was ok but dont like tatties with breakfast so not breakfast place more lunch food ok but too big and to many tattie for my liking

Friendly service and a cosy atmosphere.

Recently moved to brighton and happened to stumble upon Joe’s. Great hearty breakfast that soaks up the alcohol on a hangover, but still feels nutritious. One of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had and very fairly priced. Had an issue whereby I’d been overcharged the previous week (which is easily done), returned to the shop the week after and the staff resolved the issue promptly and provided a sincere apology. Great customer service and top marks all round.

Really nice at home vibe! Perfect portions and taste just like that home cooked cafe breakfast you want. Plus, playing some wicked playlist. No bloody typical ‘heart’ radio on and all that. Grooves all around 🤙

A gluten free breakfast beyond belief! Will not need to eat for the rest of the day! Yum yum.

Lovely place away from the crowds. Very reasonable prices for great food. The mashed avocados with tomatoes and cortado were both excellent. My dog was happy with a bowl of water but would have snaffled anything on the menu, as would I with regards to...

I say Brighton but I genuinely don't think I've had a a better breaky anywhere in the UK. Huge statement I know, but it was simply sensational. The portion was massive and the quality of the food was superb. I'm hungry just thinking about those...

Away from the crowds at the seafront Joe's is well worth a walk. Lovely food, excellent cortado and great service for me and the thirsty dog. I had the mashed avocado and roasted tomatoes and will definitely go back to explore more of the menu when I am in Brighton again.

Great food and coffee lovely people and clean place

We walked a long way up hill to get here but was really pleased we did. Food and service excellent good value for money and even healthy option with salmon avocado and eggs. Would definitely recommend a visit

Absolutely awesome place. Came for an overnight stay from Bromley and had googled this before hand. Please go and have food there it’s amazing! Huge plates of food, lovely locally sourced produce. Vegan options were superb. We are jealous of those yet to go! Lovely staff and really helpful directions to the beach ( we made it! ) absolutely no faults at all.

Very friendly and great good. Very tasty. Definitely go back again when in town.

Great staff, great menu, great food. Frequented many a time, never a let down. Give them a go!!!!

Local high quality food for reasonable prices. Best cafe in Brighton in my opinion and I have been to a fair few in my lifetime! Best sausages I think I’ve ever had and the hashes are just to die for (but can be very filling!)....

Such a lovely place!! Great vegan breakfast, huge portions, really friendly staff. Can't wait to come back to Brighton and visit again :) thank you!

Really friendly staff, big portion sizes (and you can take away what you can't finish) and delicious food, all in a nice and quiet area away from the bustle of the Lanes - definitely bringing any friends who come to Brighton here in the future!

A great find on trip adviser! Me and my husband had a lovely breakfast sat outside in the sunshine, is on a nice quiet street. Portions were very good, the staff were friendly a lovely experience.

The perfect spot for a bit of brunch in the sunshine. The food was delicious and fantastic service! Definitely recommend a visit and ordering the smoked salmon & avocado breakfast or a classic English breakfast. Fresh produce and plenty of options to choose from - there's something on the menu for everyone!

I was recommend to go along to Joe's cafe by a work colleague,who had been the week before. We knew what to expect but where very pleasantly surprised,by the surroundings and we had a lovely table nicely furnished with all the goodies you need for...

Friendly staff and beautiful food. Honestly such wonder dinner, highly highly recommend!!!

Love it! Favourite place to go for a full english! Really fresh and very friendly service! 😋

Super friendly staff and a beautiful mix of traditional English breakfasts or contemporary breakfasts if you wanna spice things up. Highly recommend!

So - not only great breakfasts! . . . . Last Saturday night we had succulent duck leg with a zingy orange sauce, rich and cheesy cod florentine, fondant potatoes and neat al dente fresh vegetables. Followed by profiteroles with a delicious raspberry filling and thick chocolate sauce and a pretty apple tart with creme anglaise. Order by 6pm on a Friday and have your "home cooked" Saturday night dinner ready to collect at a time that suits. Absolutely yummy and no pans to wash! I know what I'm having this Saturday night!

My favourite cafe in Brighton. Great tasty food. Have a proper cook/breakfast chef and use great produce. Very Covid switched on and organised. The cafe needs our support during difficult times. Great vegan options. big breakfast with roasty potatoes. Looking forward to my next breakfast & staff are lovely as well. Hope they can hang in there.

Very tasty food and nice coffee
