Kooks in Brighton and Hove

A nice place to unwind/work. The music is amazing. However the best part is the freshly squeezed orange juice which is quite rare to find usually. Would definitely stop by again just for the orange juice and the music!

Really good breakfast experience. Food and drinks were great and service from our waitress Anna was exceptional 👍

Such a welcoming place! My third visit and it’s always a pleasure. Huge thanks to Saul who was an excellent host and made sure we were comfortable, made great recommendations, AND brought me a slice of cake when he overheard that it was my birthday! That’s great service. Thank you, Kooks.

We had an amazing brunch with a lovely server named Vojia. He was so attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend and will be back

Served by Jess, Lovely staff, and nice coffee. Would recommend

Amazing service from Jessie! Great brunch spot, will definitely come again.

This vegan cafe is a gem in the centre of the North Laine area in Brighton. It is very busy at lunchtime and it may be necessary to queue. However, my friend and I only waited for a few minutes. The staff are cheerful and work hard. The menu is varied, and I have always been very satisfied with my food. The place has a lively atmosphere and not the place to go to for a quiet meal, especially at busy times, but it is very 'Brighton ' and I love it. Toilets were clean. It would be difficult to cater for wheelchairs here, and parents with small children would find it difficult, but not impossible, to accommodate buggies. I just love the vibes in this place.

Omar was great food was great get the eggs Benedict it’s the best

Omar was wonderful, as was the food. Really nice little lunch.

Lovely coffee and delicious cake! Great atmosphere and excellent service from Saul our waiter. Will be back for brunch!

The server, Dylan was kind and friendly. We love coming here especially on the morning before Brighton Pride parade. Thank you for being a fabulous place to be.

Best vegan breakfast I have had. Delicious. Cooked so well. Nicely presented. Great place. Will come again for some cake! Very friendly staff.

Vojta was the one who served us. The beast and the best!!

Was served by Dylan- he was very friendly, helpful and seemed genuinely interested in making sure we had a lovely time. The food was great- catered for allergies (gluten free) and wasn’t too long of a wait even though it was busy

Great restaurant also allow dogs 🐕

Great brunch spot! We were a large party and were well accommodated outside on a nice sunny day! Staff were friendly and attentive, very quick service. Food was delicious and reasonably priced! Highly recommend!!

delicious food, not too expensive, and the waiter was the sweetest guy ever to me and my friends - thanks dylan :)

Good quality cakes with personable staff who were attentive but not pushy. Service with a smile from Dylan.

Nice coffee, pleasant atmosphere however the size of the chocolate cake my wife and I received was less than a sliver and for £4.25, a joke! Hi you’ve responded by saying that occasionally size varies depending on someone’s eye. Well my wife and I had a piece each and both were extremely small, therefore size variation clearly was not the case. Unfortunately this experience has put me of returning to Kooks and with the amount of coffee/cake shops in Brighton I suggest you take comments like mine seriously.

Man... this guy vojta. Beautiful!

Was served by Glyn, very friendly from the outset. Good food, exactly what you need on a cold Sunday morning

Recently had a fantastic mid-week lunch at Kooks. Great service from Glyn, even though the place was packed. Food was excellent. Lovely atmosphere.

Vojta was amazing such great service food was the best I’ve ever eaten

We stumbled across this cute little place whilst looking for somewhere to get a drink and a snack mid afternoon. The guys were very welcoming and it was really nice in there. I had a lovely pot of tea and my husband tried their own lager which he enjoyed. We also sampled some of their delicious cakes - yum!

Really varied menu and located in the centre on the North Laines. Unsurprisingly busy as it’s great and we had some great service from the staff, especially Jamie. Thanks guys 🙏🏻

The food was very overpriced and not good enough for what it was. The burger was way too small for the bun and the fries were undercooked when they were supposed to be double cooked. Service was not good at all, food took forever, the area was cramped, and the waiter seemed rude and uninterested. He asked us if we wanted sauce with our fries, we said yes, had to end up getting it ourselves. Had high hopes which were dashed.

Great service, great brunch, what’s not to like. Glyn was lovely!

It was a lovely and cosy place and Jamie was lovely! Thank you.

Really lovely atmosphere and food. Jamie served us and she was extremely friendly and welcoming, excellent service.

great atmosphere the people who work here are so friendly and give great service and the food is amazing.

Jamie was a fantastic host! Food was delicious. We will be back for sure

Was here recently with friends, food was delightful. Our server Dylas was such a sweetheart. Definitely would recommend!

really enjoyed my experience at kooks today! the food was brilliant! i had the chicken ceaser salad and it was well worth it! our server dylan was very friendly and helpful in helping us choose what to eat! the atmosphere was also very nice, with brilliant music! would definitely come back!

As a regular visitor to Brighton I'd never popped into this restaurant but it will now be a firm favourite. The menu was varied and met the dietary requirements of my small group of family and friends. Food was delicious, I recommend the HLT, (halloumi. lettuce & tomato sandwich, elevated with homemade chilli jam. Our server was Saul and he was a star, very welcoming and friendly and an all round good egg. I look forward to visiting again.

We went for brunch and the food was great! Not massive portions, but we quite liked that. We were served by Jamie and she was ace! Very friendly and attentive.

The caprese and milkshake were banging. Our server Dylan was such a sweetheart. ☹️🫶

this was a lovely lunch, the server we had dylan was very nice and helpful, would definitely come again!!!! food and drinks were also super good!!

Had a great breakfast here today. Saul and the whole team really looked after us, would highly recommend it! Thank you Kooks!

Always enjoy our meal at kooks! Great food, nice vibes and lovely staff. Dylan was our server and was really friendly and positive

Fantastic meal very nice staff all in all a great experience thank you

Visited this little gem for lunch with my friend. We received a very warm welcome from a young man as soon as we walked in. We later found out his name is Saul. What a guy! Great sense of humour and great service received. I was undecided on my choice and the shakshuka he recommended was absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend this place. A fantastic pit stop

Amazing brunch and coffee and excellent service from Glyn! Will be back soon

Amazing service by Jamie. Great quality food from the team and drinks. Lovely atmosphere. Check out Kooks Restaurant

Food lovely but the waiter with the stripy jumper and gold earrings was unbelievably rude. This guy should not work in hospitality. We asked to move tables from a very loud table and he was huffy and pass remarkable. When we finally sat down at our new table we called over to him to order. We hadn’t noticed that he was carrying plates, he very aggressively turned round to us and said”what do you want me to do, just drop these plates and smash them in the floor, he kept repeating this saying so, do you. I have never met such an unpleasant person waiter in my life. Shame because the rest of the staff were very nice. If he worked in my restaurant I would show him the door.

Great food and excellent from the Team . Drawn in by the cakes in the windows but the brunch was great . Good service from Saul.

This is a cosy and lovely place . Saul was very attentive and polite and efficient. This is the place to come to enjoy a great breakfast when in Brighton.

Having been to Jonnies Worthing & Arundel restaurants we decided to visit Kooks. It was a good choice. Nice cake, nice coffee and nice people.

I had a superb full English here! Service (by the lovely Jamie) was very efficient and the food itself was of course delicious! The eggs were cooked just right, and the bacon was exactly as crispy as I like it. The latte I had with it was grand, strong in flavour and perfectly foamed.

Fabulous food, wonderful service by Dylan.

Great food and great service, Saul was a wonderful server

On a trip to Brighton, we went in for a coffee to get out of the wind and rain. Ended up with coffees, chips, and cake. All tasty, service attentive, chilled atmosphere. Will call in again.

We were in Brighton for my graduation and fell across this lovely place by accident. Saul was absolutely wonderful and very helpful. Food was gorgeous, good menu, and a lovely wee place to sit and relax. Definitely recommend.

Had a lovely brunch of eggs benedict with smashed avocado and green tea for two. Really nice place with good back ground music. Saul was a really good host.

Fab breakfast, scrummy food and really friendly waitress, Jamie. Massively recommend.

We came here for a coffee and a cake! Service was attentive and lovely! Dylan was helpful and made friendly conversation with us, lovely mango smoothie as well! We will be back! :))

Our server Jamie was fantastic, the food was unbelievable. Would 100% reccomend !!

Came in randomly, Great brunch, Shahsuka & Full English, very tasty, excellent service.

Absolutely lovely place and atmosphere! Amazing gluten free options for coeliac! We were served by Saul, who was great too. Will be back 😄

Great food, brilliant coffee and service from Saul was excellent

Lovely food and service. Halloumi Fries best in town. Good selection of food and nothing unavailable. Well done Glyn 👏

Huge portions, delicious and friendly staff

A very good breakfast served by a very gentle and friendly waiter.

Average price for Brighton. Good location. Clean,

Served by Glyn! Quality atmosphere Lovely staff All good Will definitely return

Lovely food, lovely service from Evie. Highly recommend.

Was really pleasantly surprised by lots of vegan options - had a hard time deciding so had Evie behind the bar help walk us through each of the options. Would definitely go back to try the other cakes!

This was our first visit to Kooks today , and we loved it. Glyn attentive, friendly and professional . Excellent

Kooks used to do the best Eggs Ben in town, but they have sadly changed from sourdough toast to English muffins. While the latter is more traditional for the dish, I much preferred the former... Their maple ham has suffered as well, sadly. Service great though

Delicious food and Saul was excellent 😌

Went here today with my son who treated me. A very pleasant place. Had a very good sandwich with lively iced lemonade. Definitely recommend it

Glyn is always kind and attentive, the food is great and also the playlist!

Visiting Brighton for the weekend and this place was highly recommended. Lovely vibe, awesome food, delicious coffee. I have never managed to find somewhere to top my local cafe's Eggs Benedict 🥚 but Kooks has pipped them to the post! Great service from Saul, would love to return.

Great breakfast, great staff, great place

Came in for the first time this morning with my husband for a lovely breakfast. Really welcoming and laid back atmosphere with chilled out music. Fantastic food - I can see now why it was filling up fast when we were in there. Thank you - we will be back :)

We went in there yesterday first time we've been there and certainly won't be the last. Our meal was delicious and the waiter was so friendly. Definitely recommend it

Visited a few weeks ago food was made to my taste,chef and waiters very accomadting red velvet cake standard mint tea needed more mint but my main dish was very tasty compliments to the chef

Food was hot and very nice! Had the burger which was super nice and my friend had veggie breakfast which they loved. Chef was more than happy to Adjust parts on the menu for my picky friend. Good atmosphere and lovely waitstaff.

Glyn was very accommodating, helpful and friendly. Will definitely be back with a party of people in the new year.

Saul was a great server, made for an excellent breakfast Cheers to all !

Served by Jamie…fantastic fried breakfast. Definitely recommend visiting

Served by Jamie who was great. Very attentive to allergies and very accommodating.

We waited for an hour and our food order didn't arrive. We were only in Brighton for the day which meant the rest of our day was in a big rush. Update: was contacted by the restaurant regarding this but the email address supplied by them did not work.

It was a very busy Saturday lunch time but even though the place was packed, my husband and I were given a seat immediately and got attention from the waiting staff. Food was excellent, with good gf options. All staff were super friendly and v efficient. Our server Jamie was brilliant , so friendly and attentive even when the place was very busy.

Jamie was great! Delicious food snd great coffee.

Really enjoyed my time at Kooks on the weekend. Me and my friend had a nice lunch where I ate the chicken club sandwich. Jamie, the waitress who served us, was lovely and made our experience really enjoyable and comfortable with her friendly personality. Would go again and recommend to others.

Amazing service and great food! Jamie is so great! (Holly Humberstones double)

Good place for coffee, well made and brought to your table.

Had two trips to Kooks today! Coffee, shopping, then lunch. Such a relaxed atmosphere, great food, chilled music. Friendly service from the wonderful Kitty and Francesco to make us very happy!

Jamie was great today, lovely brunch with friends.

Great food and coffee. Very busy so some slight tension amongst staff but very friendly and helpful to us.

We had a lovely brunch this morning with my auntie and uncle. The service by Jamie was very attentive. Recommend

Had a fantastic breakfast and a killer milkshake. The restaurant is lovely. The staff are fantastic. Saul is brilliant. Excellent service and laughed at our bad old people jokes. Will definitely go there again.

Food was great as always and the staff were super friendly - server named Jamie made sure that my friend and I were comfortable with our table as we arrived at a busy time and made our experience easy :)

Went in on a whim and really enjoyed it. The coffee was great and enjoyed a delicious brunch. Thank you!

Lovely place great food and good service! Just watch the step into the toilets

Lovely food and Lilys service was great

Best full English in a long time. Would recommend the chocolate milkshake

Popped into Kooks on a busy Saturday afternoon, team were very friendly and accommodating. We had the chicken and beef burgers which were delicious, fries were great too. Great atmosphere, we sat inside but they also have space outside which is lovely on a sunny day.

Friendly staff, efficiently run, good food.

Lovely friendly place. Breakfast could have been a bit hotter.
