Kooks in Brighton and Hove

Anna was a lovely server! Food was great thank u

Such lovely staff, very welcoming, always checking in to see if everything is ok and the food was great too! Highly recommend :))

£20+ for two Glass Bottles of Coke Zero and two thin slices of cake, the Cokes were £5 each!!! I couldn’t believe when my wife told me… appalling rip off.

Accused of trying to not pay - we’d gone to the toilet. No apology. Appalling

Stopped by for breakfast on a very quiet Easter Sunday. Great food, good value, super-friendly & helpful staff and a nice chilled vibe. Just what we wanted.

Sobrecargado y caro. Servicio extremadamente lento. Tuvimos que seguir nuestra orden dos veces y solo llegó después de que dijimos que nos iríamos y eso fue después de una hora de espera.

Great service by Anna x Saul! Food was delicious and fresh. Great for Happy hours too! Please add less lime juice into Margaritas!

Lovely food and great service from Saul

Had a lovely lunch at Kooks. We were served by Vosta and Jess and their service was efficient, warm and professional - will definitely be coming back.

Una verdadera joya 🤩🤩🤩 Personal amable y acogedor. Deliciosa comida, ingredientes de calidad cocinados maravillosamente. Gran decoración y ambiente. Excelente relación calidad-precio Volveremos la próxima vez que visitemos Brighton!

I came to Brighton today with my best friend & we wanted to get something to eat & we went back to this place, as we have been here before. The customer service by Glyn & Dylan was exceptional, very polite & friendly, they also met my needs in a professional manner too. Will definitely come back here every time from now on when we are in Brighton.

Great spot for a morning after the gig breakfast :)

Me and my best friend had an amazing experience today (15/04/2025) at Kooks. Glyn and Dylan were absolutely brilliant, their customer service was excellent. We will definitely he returning everytime we visit Brighton. Thank you xxx

Absolutely superb breakfast in the sunshine - perfect poached eggs and friendly service from Anna & Saul. Will definitely visit Kooks again. Great name, too, if you’re a Bowie fan like me!

the food was expensive and took some time but it was really good! dylan served us, he was very sweet, complimentary and clearly has good taste in music ☺️

Saul was friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious!

My friend and I came for brunch and it was lovely!! Amazing food and great service from Anna. Thank you! Definitely recommend!!

went with my friend and we had an amazing full english, our server complemented my tattoos and asked us questions about ourselves. the staff are absolutely lovely and the food is even better x

Great food, fast service. No complaints whatsoever!

Really good visit, very accommodating as we were a walk in of 10, but the team were wonderful and very good food. Big thanks to Glyn for his service today. Come on the gunners.

Bit pricey, but it’s Brighton :) Food was great, lots of Gluten Free options, cheery and efficient waiter, even though he was managing very short staffed for a while.

Accommodated for large group of us and all our stuff. Vegan breakfast was lovely. Dylan our server was on it and dealt with us well. Will be back x

We had a lovely brunch, with eggs Benedict and avocado toast! We were served by Saul who was very friendly and had a cool t shirt

Great service. Superb choice of vegan options. Our server, Anna was great!

Lovely brunch for Mother’s Day! Thanks for your great service Dylan :)

Lovely place for brunch on a sunny day in a bustling street in Brighton. Lots of outside seating and very friendly staff. Nice shakshuka and coffee!

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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!!

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

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

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

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

Man... this guy vojta. Beautiful!

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!

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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! :))

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

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

Great food, brilliant coffee and service from Saul was excellent

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

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

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!

Lovely food, lovely service from Evie. Highly recommend.

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

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

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 :)
