Laughing Dog in Brighton and Hove

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

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.

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

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

Delicious brownies and a great spot to go on a walk

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

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. It would also be vital to direct customers with screaming kids to other side of the place, otherwise the purpose of this space is lost completely. But as I said, there was a time I wasn't able to step a foot there without being stressed out. 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.

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??

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

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.

Lovely raspberry matcha! Very cosy

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

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

Good service, lovely Matcha Latte’s!

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 🫶

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.

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

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.

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 😊

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

Good cafe with good coffee and friendly service - recommend!

A fun quirky cafe that has a lovely little shop inside

Very friendly service, delicious food beautiful atmosphere

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

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.

Brill dog friendly place with fab shop

Laughing dog is a fantastic spot! The drinks and food are so delicious and the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. All staff are so kind and attentive. Definitely recommend!!

Just recently going to this place, their breakfast is amazing.

This cafe was incredible!!!! My partner and I had the most unbelievable flavourful breakfast 😋. Breakfast is served up until 4pm which suited us so well ! Amazing coffee and brownies and cakes were to die for !!! We will return !

Lovely little place, very friendly staff with a good atmosphere about it. A few healthier options on the menu would be a welcome addition, yoghurt with granola and berries perhaps as an alternative breakfast or all day option would be wonderful. For someone that doesn’t eat bread/pancakes it would give an alternative option. But great, worth a visit!

Great food, Service with a smile, Having dogs allowed just makes everything better, If I lived closer I’d be in there every weekend

Good food . Cake I would fight any body over if it was the last bit

Couldn't make out why they charged extra for a few baby tomatoes when the open sandwich was already expensive but it was quite nice !?

Nice airy cafe both family and family g friendly, with wide selection of food and drink, the pancakes are great.

Beautiful food, brilliant service

Beautiful food, beautiful atmosphere, service 10/10 🫶🏽

Alway come here. My favourite place.

Regular customer here 👋🏼 We absolutely love the Laughing Dog and look out for one wherever we go! Staff are always super welcoming and are all dog lovers🫶🏼 the perfect place for a coffee, cake or hot food with a friend and your dog. Perfect Pup Date Material- WOOF 🐶

Love it here. The new menu is a real improvement on the previous one, and further little touches - the till moved to free up space for more seating, a comfy sofa, several beers on tap - have elevated the cafe still further. The toilet is a bit shoddy but it’s an excellent destination.

Great coffee shop with lovely boutique style shopping experience in one

This Is one of the best coffee shops in Brighton not only because they allow you to bring dogs the staff are amazing and friendly The pancakes are a new edition to menu which are very good as well

food was yummy and good vegan selection. very nice design to the overall shop/cafe however are table was very sticky we cleaned it with out own wipes.

Excellent cafe and shop that is inclusive, great for individuals working, family groups and people with dogs. Shop is fab and food is amazing. Food has plenty of vegan options and their vegan breakfast is one of the best I have had. Came back for a second time we were so impressed.

Fantastic food with a great atmosphere. Very child friendly. Great selection of Vegan food! Definitely recommend.

very good coffee and lunch, we enjoyed what we ordered.

Delicious food! I got the vegan breakfast and asked if I could add two eggs on the side and the man at the front happily added them I also recommend the apple and mango juice ! 🥰😛

Lovely setting in the marina on a sunny morning. Busy and friendly.

Delicious food, warm & friendly staff! Definitely the best most friendly atmosphere I have seen in a long time.

I love it here, a. ' must go to ' if in the marina, either way you'll leave with something, in your hand or in your belly, so many interesting things in the shop section, and so much niceness in the cafe section.

It's always so lovely here, whether it's the pied wag tail strutting about, or some of the lovely art or crafts,I always buy ' just something ' .

An amazing little cafe with delicious vegan options and lovely staff :)

Beautiful place, brilliant food, friendly staff! Will come here again and again! ♥️🏳️‍🌈

This visit was for lunch, and we both had the banana, peanut butter and jam on toast. Delicious coffee too and the dogs enjoyed their puppucinos!

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

Great cafe, open for drinks, pastries and sandwiches. The gift shop part of the establishment is be open for the sale of artworks and good quality gifts and cards. It is also dog friendly and has outdoor seating.

Delicious food Had the Kids Breakfast and it was still quite large Lovely staff And they let dogs come in too! Love people who love dogs

Such a nice place! Gorgeous food, huge portions, with a really lovely outdoor seating area. The staff are super lovely and helpful as well. I ordered the wrong drink and they made me a new one free of charge. Will absolutely go back xx

Bagel and coffee ☕ excellent service and friendly staff thanks 👍

Great little cafe hidden away near the fountain ⛲️ good food with a shop too. Well worth a visit.

We love this gem of a cafe in the Marina. Great food and atmosphere- we rarely leave without a cheeky candle or gift purchase! Great for quirky odds n bobs for presents or to brighten your room.

Really great vibes, great service and such a great range! My bestie is obsessed with the strawberry matcha here and the triple chocolate brownie is insane!

Good coffee and excellent cakes!

Lovely place with great food and real suntrap. A little slice of calm in the business of Brighton Marina.

Fantastic coffee, cakes to die for. Staff excellent. If you visit the marina, please visit the laughing dog. Definitely recommend

Great cafe Great location great staff and fabulous cakes!

Welcoming and spacious cafe with excellent wheelchair access. Kind, friendly service and delicous food arrived really quickly. Will definitely be coming back.

Really lovely spot for breakfast / brunch. The team were all so friendly and we loved the shop which was creative, cute and also forward thinking. Great to see so many vegan options too. We'll definitely be returning.

Love all the new vegan options! Can very much recommend the Vegan Classic Breakfast Bagel & Chai Latte. Service great, atmosphere great, will definitely come again 🙂

I highly recommend the Buddha bowl, it was tasty and very nutritious..

Lovely selection of food, great vegan options to
