Laughing Dog in Brighton and Hove

Local eaterie. We are spoiled ❤️

Came here for coffee, really friendly service and the coffee was great too. It was really busy but still managed to find a small bench to perch on.

so beautiful and has delicious matchas!!

A very nice place to hang out and have a great cooked breakfast and decent coffee

Wonderful staff and yummy food Been going here since it opened . Adore adore xx

Great coffee, great eats and lovely location. A hidden gem!

Lovely friendly atmosphere. Cosy and nice outside area by a fountain.

Amazing service and was a great experience. Truly the hidden gem of Brighton Marina well worth searching for.

Amazing, vibrant atmosphere with very selective range of drink on their menu. Staff is friendly and I thought service was quick.

A must when you come to the marina ⛵

Lovely dog friendly place with vegan options and a cool shop

Good service, lovely Matcha Latte’s!

Great location and great food options! Especially love the smoothies

Amazing menu with a range of vegan options - the big vegan breakfast was fantastic! Had to try a vegan pancake as well - very tasty! Love the relaxed atmosphere as well!

First time here loved the atmosphere, dog friendly ❤️ I had the lil breakfast and a coffee both really tasty and quality ingredients used. Definitely recommend the cakes look amazing and the staff are really kind and helpful

Lovely atmosphere with a cute shop to browse within. Vegan, veggie options available

shame the surly girl behind the counter was in such a bad mood , the waitress was lovely , even after they forgot our order .

We stop for take away coffer Super friendly service Coffee was OK Look like a old school place and family atmosphere.

Makes out that they are friendly, trendy and dog friendly but more of a social gathering for staff and don’t really pay attention to customers. Waited for ages to be serviced and then was told I was too late for food. So don’t be polite and wait patiently - get their attention and make sure they serve you before cut off.

It's my favourite place to go in Brighton. There's always a choice of food for vegans (nice and colourful!) and plenty of things to look at as it's also a shop. The staff is very friendly and dogs are welcomed! Light and airy space always makes me feel happy 🤩

Always great for a vegan coffee lunch or cake

Asked whether we wanted runny eggs. Said yes. Waited a long time for breakfast and eggs were hard!!!! Cld not be bothered to complain but not good!

A hidden gem! Best spot for a coffee and cake in the marina!

I asked for two slices of toast and marmalade £4. When it arrived there was only one slice. The staff said that I was actually charged for one slice only... £4! I complained, but was told sorry that the price includes the butter and marmalde! I won't go back - rip off

Lovely atmosphere, cute seating and great cake

Lovely dog friendly cafe with a good selection of foods and cakes, friendly service.

This time we had pancakes and two of the bagels. Service was ok but not quick. Pancakes, coffee and tea were good, and the bagel fillings were ok, but the bagels themselves were flat out bad. Far too bread-like, and chewy but not in a proper bagel chewy way! I expect better for £10. On a previous visit we had smashed avocado toast which was good while expensive, but I'm not ordering a bagel again.

Such great food and amazing service!

Great food and service! Was impressed by the veggie breakfast, everything was soo nice and very well cooked ❤️

Beautiful space, friendly service and delicious food Perfect for families

Lovely aesthetic but I have just received the worst tasting flat white I’ve ever had. This place has potential but the key elements aren’t quite there.

Delicious food, reasonably priced and lovely service! Would recommend!

it was such a nice place to spend the afternoon at. the service was amazing and servers were really nice and friendly. will come back again!!

Felt a bit meh & not really child friendly... Adults food was served quite a time before the kids that it had gone cold.

Great service and lovely atmosphere, food is unreal such a nice place to have some lunch

I've been here a few times and had a nice enough time, but last Thursday I had a disappointing visit. I wanted a lunch which wasn't bread based so asked for the soup - they had ran out. I looked back at the menu and decided I'd try one of the salads - not available. The other salad? Also not available. I think they can do better than this. Ended up with hummus and tomatoes on toast which was extremely average, after a 30 min wait. I also ordered a chocolate chai which tasted of pure sugar and nothing else. Disappointing visit.

A great doggie friendly place, buzzing with a good vibe. Nice food and really friendly staff.

Some of the best coffee in Brighton 🫶🏻

Great eatery with free parking at the marina, good coffee, and loads of merchandise from a range of makers. Great for vegans too!!!!

I had a lovely breakfast here and I loved the atmosphere. Their chai latte’s are especially good.

A great cafe in Brighton Marina.

Came here for breakfast and everything we had was very good, especially the pancakes. The service was very good, everyone w3 dealt with was very polite and professional and the food we ordered arrived reasonably quickly. There is also a nice shop in there with a lot of Knick knacks and also Jellycats!! Prices were also ok, the only slight negative I would say was a little bit of lack of choice on the menu, I don’t eat meat and I did struggle slightly.

The chocolate dring is to die for, the cakes are

I have to say, the service has improved significantly. Coffee is absolutely amazing and my recent favourite is Bounty hunter Superfood Smoothie. It's addictive. Absolutely amazing. I also love their environment improvement, especially office part. And of course, the cakes!!!! The lemon cake will be probably my forever best. It's original recipe from decades back. And it's so worth it. Love it.

cute dogs, spacious and nice ambience. strawberry milkshake was a bit too sweet though

Food was excellent will be back!

Nice cafe for coffee and snacks.

Lovely B/fast, always good quality food, lovely staff, my go to place for b/fast

Lovely atmosphere, loads of great products on sale. Delicious coffee and cake. Service with a smile. Will come again very soon!

Fantastic venue in a great location, very well brewed coffee, and delicious fresh pastries, it’s the perfect spot to relax. The friendly staff and cozy atmosphere make it a true gem.

Delicious brownies and a great spot to go on a walk

What a cute place! Such a nice find, lovely coffee shop and gifts

Popular but still feels spacious. Food and coffee is good, though variable at times. Apparently its a dog cafe, but i didn't notice. Recent price rise of 35% on the items i like have taken it up to the "overpriced for me" level. Ld Breakfast was £10 is now £14... small black coffee and a brownie £7.50. Owch. 🙄

Lovely cafe full of atmosphere good service also a gift shop. In the square at Marina

My four word review: Flawless! Although add Potato. For full review including photos, see potato_world_and_beyond on Instagram!

Firstly, if your serving guests try and smile and take your sunglasses off, very rude Your inside and it's November That fact you won't steam coconut milk for coffee but happily do oat, due to allergens?? Gluten in your oat milk not a allergen then?? Or the usual dairy??

Great menu. Excellent service 👏

Such a favourite for our family - a cosy spot in the middle of the marina for great coffee and delicious cakes. Lovely gift shop too.

First time here at Laughing Dog. The interior was lovely. Coffee great and reasonably priced. Definitely recommend!

Lovely raspberry matcha! Very cosy

I personally don't like the food there everything else is good just food a bit boring and flavourless

Lovely atmosphere and very dog friendly.I would definitely recommend it 👍

Probably the only place (other than ASDA and Glowballs) that gives a reason to visit Brighton Marina. It’s a craft/gift shop and recently expanded cafe serving fried breakfasts, pancakes, cakes and the usual range of beverages, with vegetarian and vegan options. It’s dog friendly too, not just outside but inside too. Beware the seagulls if sitting outside. I’d recommend the little brekkie.

A lovely cafe with interesting art pieces etc to buy. Great food with good gluten free choices

The only place to eat in the marina !

A great place with an amazing team and a huge menu, they can make practically any drink. The atmosphere is lovely and the courtyard fountain makes it feel like you're in Europe. I love it here.

Visited this place today 9th Oct 2024. Having been here many times in the past as it's midway between Brighton and Seaford where friends live we were very disappointed today to find the menu has completely changed. When we arrived our table needed cleaning and clearing, my husband asked at the counter for it to be wiped, he was handed a cloth and spray, at this point we should have gone somewhere else however we chose to stay the food was terrible, but on the plus side we had a lovely time catching up with friends without being interrupted by the none existent staff. Needless to say we won't be visiting again.

First time visited, found it very pleasant and friendly. Dogs are allowed in,so an ideal place to visit when walking your 4 legged friend. Didn't eat this time ,just had a coffee. Some nice little Nik naks for sale.

Amazing gluten free/vegan option. Friendly and swift service.

Good service and great vegan food. Thank you.

Great place to work with your laptop, or bring family if they are visiting from out of town (as you can park in the multi-storey). In summer the courtyard is a real sun trap. The staff are friendly and the food is tasty!

Lovely and fast service with delicious food :)

Fabulous food, NHS discount , lots of seating which fills up easily though. trendy vibes and a cool shop to peruse. Love it here as my local cafe 🫶

Lovely, quirky place that you can bring your fury friend! Great staff, great vibes, will definitely visit again. I also recommend the orange almond cake 5⭐️

Tasty cake and nice space. Excellent vegan selection.

Very nice coffee and good range of food options. Lots of interesting wares to browse as well!

Good atmosphere and a nice food offering. Breakfast deal (breakfast, coffee and juice for £15) is a fantastic deal. Great quality ingredients and very friendly. Coffee was lovely. Points to improve would be that the mushrooms and beans were quite cold. Like barely warmed up. The mushrooms were well cooked, so they must have just sat around for a while. Everything else was very hot. Poached eggs were also slightly hit and miss, one was mostly hard one was perfect. Get everything to be hot and this would be a full five stars.

A lovely brekkie on a rainy day. Light and airy interior space.

Quick visit just missed food. Lovely atmosphere very welcoming.

Wonderful place! Lovely Vegan options ☺️

Lovely menu. Good prices Friendly staff. Dog friendly too. Lovely gifts

Love this place! Great food, coffee, atmosphere and the cutest shop. The staff are all very friendly 😊

Good cafe with good coffee and friendly service - recommend!

Lovely little spot in the Marina. We sat outside in the sunshine near the fountain. Great coffee, great cake.

A fun quirky cafe that has a lovely little shop inside

Great food, lovely atmosphere and there's a nice outdoor seating area, right next to a fountain.

Very friendly service, delicious food beautiful atmosphere

Lovely atmosphere, lovely food and lovely coffee

Avo toast + egg was yummy, presentation and coffee very nice! The shop inside is also so so cute

Woof Woof. Great vegan options as well. And of course options for dogs. Woof woof. Edit: I have changed my mind since coming back here countless times. Atmosphere & Service 5. 🐕

Just had tea and a sit outside. Shame about rubbish from people not clearing up

Lovely cafe & shop selling a wide range of aesthetically pleasing home accessories and plants based in the centre on Brighton Marina. There are plenty of outdoor and indoor tables to sit at and the cafe has a large full wall sized opening window, which opens up the cafe. The staff are calm but attentive, providing a five star service. The menu contains a great variety for all dietary needs and food is served quickly once ordered. I ordered the LD full breakfast which was cooked to perfection, and the strawberry matcha. The strawberry matcha tasted good, however could be greatly improved by putting strawberry jam at the bottom of the glass to mix in. Many thanks, I’ll be back soon to try out your pancakes.

Absolutely lovely atmosphere in here. We had the savoury pancakes and vegan savoury pancakes and they were hands down the best pancakes we've ever had 🙌🏻 we will absolutely be coming back again

Love going to the Laughing dog! Such yummy options for Vegans and veggies alike 😋 especially the Pancakes! Can't wait for our next visit

Just a note that this review is a little late but still a reflection of our visit at the time. An interesting cafe with the opportunity to buy some soveniers, clothing, books too- makes good business sense. Didn't eat but had a look at the hot drinks as it was a cool, wet & windy day. Drinks were nothing out of the ordinary, I went for the Maacha because paying for a Tumeric Milk was the other choice but not at £4.00 (maybe £2.50 more fair). Neither ingredient is that hard to get and not complicated to make. Overall, everything was fine- chilled atmosphere, staff seemed nice but a little quiet. Dogs and even the random pigeon make an appearance too.

It’s nice in here for a coffee. An unexpected find in the Marina. It’s got a shop and coffee. Pretty relaxed although usually busy. Brighton vibes.

Great spot ordered a cappuccino twice to get a super sweet artificial tasting undrinkable coffee come of guys get the basics right it's coffee not rocket science

Delicious food and children friendly.

What a cracker! Outstanding food and service, a beautiful location with the best quirky shop attached. A must try!!

Lovely place great food. Crap coffee. Tried expresso disgusting. Americarno yuk.
