Real Patisserie in Brighton and Hove - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Regularly buy our bread from here, it sells some of the best in town. Wonderful quiches and pastries too. Very friendly staff.

I'm a regular at Real Patisserie but I won't be going anymore. I used to regularly buy baguettes as they were the closest to what you can buy in France I've found, but stopped buying them a while ago after at least 5 orders over several months were so hard and stale that they were inedible. Unfortunately the baguettes used in the sandwiches are now just as bad, bought 3 these last two months and they were as dry as toast all the way through.

Freshly baked bread and cakes daily and great service. They also have some really nice local produce!

My first purchase a slice of quiche lorraine - Amazing light textue with crispy bacon topping, slightly salty but I didn't mind that. Returned a week later Quiche not the same thing the filling had settled and been kept in the fridge so it was anything but light and airy. It's a difficult one! quiche needs to be eaten asap it doesnt store very well Today I brought a small apple tarte - looked incredible glazed and apples mandolined to perfection - unfortunately apples overcooked fot my taste.

Regardless of the queue size you can wait an age to get served. Here's a tip Real Pat; if you're not set up to make coffee quickly don't offer it for sale. Also, don't give people ordering over the phone while sitting in their car outside priority over those standing in the rain. Once you do get in there's a good chance there will be very little left to order anyway, wish there was another option

They only had one person serving during lunch time on a Monday so it was quite slow and they didn’t acknowledge this. Food nice and a good selection

Great food but shop assistant serving this morning had moved his mask down so it didn’t cover his mouth and nose, he was moving and touching food without gloves while also touching his face and then the card machine before touching food again. Claimed they use sanitiser spray on hands but this is a lame excuse and certainly didn’t in the time I was observing him. I had to request he wash his hands before serving me, which he did but I don’t believe he took my comments seriously. This is also not the first time I’ve noticed that staff serving behind the counter observe poor hygiene practices which I’ve pointed out to them but today was the worst. Come on Patisserie - your customers deserve better and your reputation deserves better. Just some simple training would resolve this.

Came in here last night during all the rain, anyway, I had a gorgeous hummus pasta salad box and a salted caramel eclair to take away, the eclair was stuffed full of filling ant at all sickly, the salad was filling andsubstantial, so good I came back for another eclair

24th of December 12:40pm...the entire shelves are empty. When asking the staff if they will prepare more bread, the response from the employee is "no we sold out". What a poor service! Being french I can tell you that you will never see that happening in France. Bread will always be available or being prepared to satisfy the customer until the bakery closes, especially the 24th of December. Real Patisserie being owned by french people, this should be the standard of service...unless the focus is not on the customer.

The cakes are great particularly the vegan sausage rolls but they usually run out by lunch time!If you eat in Service appalling:The table was dirty when we sat down and still 30 minutes latter with both our stuff and the previous occupants still there (see pic below) even after the waiter had brought our stuff!Asked for a earl Gray tea which was just a fruit tea bag when I took it back the person showed me that was what was in the container they had filled up - clearly wrong (pic below) if I had been a diabetic this could have been dangerous!

You really must visit this pastry shop...first seeing all of the creations in the glass case is so tantalizing, then you realize even some of them are gluten-free, or vegan. I tried a variety of items and can say these guys have it together! Besides the breads, coffees, cakes, and pastries, they offer prepared salads and sandwiches. The staff is super pleasant and patient with questions about ingredients.

Over the last 12 months I have been regularly buying bread and croissant from Real Patisserie in Western Road. I've noticed the standard of bread and croissant is not consistent. Sometimes the bread is dry and the croissants hard and and also dry. I usually visit in the mornings before 9.00 am, and on good day the bread is soft and the croissant taste and look fresh. However most weeks there is a bad day, and the bread and croissant taste and feel as if they are not baked fresh that morning. Today the croissant bought at 08.30 am was stale and not pleasant to taste, and I have decided in future to shop elsewhere.

Friends and I always make a beeline for this establishment. The pastries are gorgous and fresh and also great value for the effort they put into them. Would always recommend to people in the area.

There is an appealing looking variety both on the savoury and on the sweet front. We tried a couple of items from their patisserie selection and they were made to very good standards.I was impressed that our server was very informed about the contents of all items on display. She was helpful and polite, in spite of the pressure from the queue of customers waiting. Reasonable prices for the quality too.

Scond visit... Same treatment... Thought first time they may B having a bad day but, a week later, same attitude... I said thank you and bye to them and none of them replied... THE PLACE WAS EMPTYPARTICULARLY the blue eyed guy who even gave me eye contact and yet couldn't reply to my greeting... I reckon staff have to be as nice as the food they're serving

This is by far the best patisserie in Brighton! I'm a very fussy coffee drinker too and even though this isn't in the centre of town I walk the extra mile to get there and have an americano as the coffee here is so delicious! They have a variety of homemade pastries and cakes all of which are delectable! Other bread shops and cafe bars have tried to compete but I've done the rounds and although they may look stylish from the outside their food and coffee doesnt taste half as good and they don't have the charm that this one has!

We bought a few different desserts and some cakes. But ı want to try all of them because everything looking amazing. Delicious delicous delicous. Thanks 👍🏻

There are two REAL Patisseries close together. This one in Western road is bigger and more of a cafe. Further down the same road where it becomes Church St is more of a bakery but with a few seat and tables. £4.10 for cup of tea and superb well-filled smoked salmon and scrambled egg croissant. A delicious bargain!

My favourite place in Brighton for little pastry treats! My favourite is the cherry and pistachio crumble - amazing! The staff are always friendly and the food is always spot on! The rhubarb and raspberry creme bruleé is another sweet treat that I would recommend! And the vegetarian sausage rolls are great too!

On a rainy day we sat in the car eating a picnic. A grim vision of an English Bank Holiday. But the Real Patisserie cheered us up with proper (not smothered in salt and cheddar cheese) quiches, croissant, tartelettes, and all rounded off with great quality coffee. If you want a genuine taste of France you will find it here.

I ordered a white chocolate easter egg, when I went to the bakery to pick up the egg the clerk told me that the owner forgot to order my egg. Moral I made a bad figure for a business dinner, but have lost so many customers. Never go back more especially because they have not worried about the problem ... bad

Stopped in for coffee and cake. They are obviously French, exactly like a classy patisserie in Paris with Brighton seating

Situato su western road, tra il confine, dove Brighton diventa Hove, questa pasticceria offre qualcosa di semplicemente delizioso. Come il nome suggerisce, si tratta di dolci per lo più francesi di vari tipi, con pasta imburrata ornati di frutta fresca, pistacchi; oppure varie mousse; non mancano i classici dolci inglesi come brownie, crumble e cheesecake. oltre al reparto dolci, variegata è anche la produzione di pane e di torte salate o quiche, con verdure e altro. molte opzioni vegetariane.

We popped in here for some lunch on a Saturday. It is small with not much seating I but I think that is reflective of the fact most people come in to grab things to go. It was nice to sit down all the same. We had a chorizo toastie, which was very tasty, a slice of Victoria Sponge and a Brownie. The sponge was good, the brownie was EXQUISITE! So gooey and melt in your mouth - it makes my mouth water thinking back to it now. I don't live in the area which is a shame as I would love to make these brownies part of my regular diet!

Exquisite patisserie baked freshly on the premises, fantastic flavours, made with top ingredients and superbly presented. Home of the brown chewy sourdough bread. The eclairs are to die for, made with the finest creme patissiere. And the croissants are the best I have ever tasted - nothing compares to them!

The Real Patisserie is just legendary.

Lunc or afternoon tea..the selection is good with some amazing cakes/pastries on offer...the custard slice is to die for....

The Real Patisserie offers a wide range of delicious bread -0 every loaf is so good that choice is difficult. In addition their small and large fruit tarts and other delicacies are incredibly tempting, not to speak of the authentic croissants!

Tried the pistachio bite and pear and chocolate tart with a coffee- both super tasty, particularly the moist cakeyness of the bite! Pear tart was a little bit dense for my liking, but I think that's just down to personal preference.

If you want that special cake, medium, large or small this is the place, and the prices are not too steep. Good coffee and hot chocolate.

I'm sure there are equally good bakers in Hove but this is opposite my office (photo taken from my desk) and pretty special. Whether it's a stick for eating with soup (or cheese) or one of the filled sandwiches I can guarantee it will be delicious.

Food going downhill .. The food has progressively gone from good to mediocre my girls used to like crouques etc ... Coffee is nice and French unlike the rest of it ...

We were on tour and in desperate need of some food and coffee after a long drive. This place was so warm, service was very fast, coffee was great. Massive shout out to the Bacon Rolls that came in the most amazing fresh, crunchy bread. Pastries were also exquisite. Yum!

Great place! I was about to try everything! But I've tried only tarts and they were very tasty. It's absolutely amazing place. Also I like how they serve coffee. I prefer small amounts of coffee rather than almost half a litre as you can find in usual cafe.

A great local friendly patisserie and bakery. Looking for a quick lunchtime snack, or an elegant patisserie for a party? Real Patisserie is my favourite place to go to for breads and patisseries in Brighton & Hove.

Great Sunday spot for fresh bread & cakes. They have just renewed their shop too which makes it even more inviting :)

We buy here very regularly and it never faulters in any way. All staff and very pleasent would definitely recommend.

They have been making my Spelt bread for years, they do lovely cakes, a good beef sausage roll and little off piste treats; look for who they're featuring. A little too much sugar in most cakes since Franck left but still lovely.

I love love love this bakery! I can't recommend it highly enough, their bread is just superb- especially the chewy brown!

Very Clean PLACE with fast staff. The cakes are só wonderful as The quiches. The expresso was ok and they do cakes for parties ! Nice PLACE!

A Brighton legend and the best bread, cakes and pastries this side of the Channel. Eat in or take out. Coffee, Quiches and baguettes excellent too

This place is an absolute delight to visit and an absolute must if you are visiting Brighton and Hove.

I popped in here on my way to the pharmacy, I bought a sausage roll for £2.10 and it was delicious. The pastry was top-notch and had a very nice flaky butter taste and texture.

Anything is delicious and lovely made. I do recommend more than anything the quiches. They are beautiful and so, so delicious.

After having all my colleagues go on about something called a "chewy brown" , I decided to find out what all the fuss was about (I mean, how good can A loaf of bread be?)

I usually avoid the bread and savoury things at RP as it is their tarts and patisserie that are their real strength and but I tried a piece of quiche and was so disappointed. They were selling day old quiche next to same day's and the former looked dry and was starting to curl at the edges so I chose the 'fresh' one. However, the texture was sloppy (under cooked/split?) and whilst I could not taste the vegetables in it, there was a distinct whiff of rotten eggs. Needless to say, I will skip these in the future - but not the sweet pastry!

Always crazy busy but worth it. their pastries and breads are amazig. Unfortunately the one in Kemp Town does less savoury pastries than this one so this one is my favourite!

Someone has finally taught the staff how to make good coffees, such as Flat Whites. Still a shame that there are not organic options and gluten-free option breads, since this is a big local chain. The staff in the Hove branch are pretty friendly and they serve you quickly.

Nothing bad to say about this place. The pastries are fantastic and the quiches are divine. The caramelised onion and cheese is beautiful. All good fresh food and bread baked on site (I believe) and portion sizes are great value. The coffee is rich and the choice of cakes will have you torn for choice. Well worth a visit if your in town.

I am a regular at the western road Real patisserie, the staff are lovely and helpful but most importantly the food is outstanding. Caramelised onion and Brie quiche is so delicious. ANY of the quiches are delicious. £2.85 a piece but well worth it. The lemon meringue tarts are dreamy and the wonderful thing is, if you want to try a selection of the pastries, they do mini tarts and pastries. That include the lemon meringue, pear tart, pan au chocolat, macaroons. There is also a selection of sandwiches and salads to eat in or takeaway and fresh bread..

I regularly buy the multi seeded bread and the fabulous quiche - but you have to time it carefully, as quiche not available till 11am and sometimes the bread runs out. Maccarrons used to be more generous sized, Paris-Brest is big enough to share.

Perfect for the morning baguette run, coffee stop or quiche lunch stop. And for a real treat .. their vast array of homemade afternoon tea delicacies and patisseries are absolutely heavenly!

My favourite bread is the chewy brown from this place and it's worth making a detour for. The pastries and tarts are amazing, they look good and also taste much better than most of the ones you get in France!

The real deal, and my favourite patisserie in town - I've been coming here for nearly ten years. The quiches, almond croissants and danish pastries are all superb. Lovely, friendly service and open early even on Sunday mornings - just like in France!

I've lived in France for 10 years so I can say with some authority that this establishment meets those exacting patisserie standards!

amazing choice and excellent quality . Whenever I have visitors , I will come here for pastries and desserts

Has been my go-to bakery for years now, and I have yet to be disappointed. The breads are fantastic and very reasonably priced, and the seating outside provides the perfect opportunity for a good coffee and one of the Patisserie's fantastic pastries. The staff are friendly and can often recommend an idea bread to accompany any meal. There is not many occasions when I can walk past this shop and not be lured in by the wonderful aromatic smell, and reemerge with a baguette under my arm and a bag of fresh bread. Lovely; a well deserved 5*.

Anyone who values bread that does not last for a month and which has continental quality will be impressed. Please don't believe the detractors as tasting is believing. Bought a load the other day and couldn't help but eat half on the way home!

Amazing bread and tarts. Service can be slow and they always seem a little understaffed but it's worth the wait, best patisserie in Brighton.

Found this place by accident, we were actually heading to Nero down the road. My wife spotted the pastries through the window as we were passing so we went back for a closer look. We ordered a couple of delicious looking pastries and two cappuccinos. The prices are slightly higher to eat in but that's the same everywhere and I think we paid around £9 in total which some may think is expensive for a couple of cakes and two coffees BUT, these are not the sort of mass produced slop you buy from the supermarket. They are hand made, look fantastic and taste as good as they look. Worth every penny.

The bread and pastries in this shop are amazing. I have never had anything i do not like and i use this shop two to three times a week. I have always found the staff to be efficient and friendly, Michael makes excellent coffee.

These people know how to make good, strong, flavoursome coffee. They don't overheat the milk or scorch the beans. The pastries and sandwiches are delicious too.

All I wanted was a florentine, priced 95p, but I was told it was £1.45. When I pointed at the price label, the woman behind the counter simply tossed it aside and said loundly: "£1.45". I put the item back on the counter and asked for my money to be returned. "Goodbye," was the response. Before going I told her that it is illegal to price something and then try to charge more for it. As soon as she heard the word illegal she started saying it was her fault. Obviously it was her fault: she was trying to make 50p for herself.

Try their fabulous chewey brown or chewey white loaves; or try a different bread every visit. Excellence needs encouragement; this place is the best. You can reserve a loaf or three by telephone if you are certain to collect it by the end of the day. Try their fab cakes too. Highly recommended.

Our daughter recommended the shop and we were far from disappointed. The variety of patisserie, sweet and savoury, was about the widest we have ever seen, and it was really difficult to just choose one item each. Those we did have were absolutely delicious, and very reasonably priced.

On my doorstep, go often delicious authentic & tasty bakery deli. Fresh bread baked daily. Fab tasty deli. Good lunch takeaways. Nothing to dislike!

The incident reported by the previous commentator must have been an unfortunate oversight. The Real Pâtisserie in Western Road is a great place, with courteous and helpful staff, brilliant coffee and excellent bread - try the multi cereal loaf. The cakes are the "pièce de résistance", especially the chocolate croquant and the light fruit mousses.

Have been going here on occasion for years but this morning in the Western Road shop, I was shock by what I saw.
