Sixteen in Brighton and Hove

Cute little cafe with an outside seating area & garden in the back. I came close to closing, and there weren't many cakes left, but the drinks were good & service was fast.

The menu is simple, the food is fresh and the staff are great.

Fantastic place with very tasty food, affordable prices and very nice staff. And there is a patio behind. Great! Highly recommend for brunch or just a coffee.

Every thing checked out the food amazing, the service amazing and the atmosphere was amazing. So overall very very good. Good would recomend.

I had a vegan fish finger sandwich with tartar source (I would have preferred mayonnaise). It was very good and surprisingly tasted very like fish, fish fingers.

really, really good coffee and amazing cakes (coffee and walnut especially). also never knew they had a gorgeous spacious patio out back

Great cafe, food and drink is reasonable and always good. The New Yorker toastie is my favourite. Alcohol served aswell. Being In the heart of Brighton makes It a great pit stop when out and about. Staff are very friendly and the garden is a lovely sun trap in the summer. Highly recommend.

Great food, freshly made by friendly staff. We had potato cakes. Lovely, plentiful portion.

We’ve been coming here for a number of years and it seems to have had a little bit of a revamp since we were last in. Was happy to see in spite of the change of menu and staff the food is still good quality and the servers were all very kind and accommodating. The coffee was properly made and tasted spot on. There were a fair few breakfast options to choose from, I’ve always enjoyed the quesadilla in the past but opted for the veggie breakfast this time around. The whole thing was well portioned and well seasoned, the mushrooms in particular were very nice and not oily or greasy in the least. It was a bonus that it came with 2 slices of sourdough toast that was actually properly toasted and buttered up. My only slight quibble is that the beans came in an espresso cup! This has become such a thing lately, just pop them on the plate!

One of my favourite places to get coffee. Staff are lovely as well as the food and general atmosphere of the place. Highly recommend :)

Lovely cafe with great food and coffee. Staff are so lovely and always great service. :)

lovely place amd friendly staff

Lovely little cafe, reasonably priced. Smoked chicken toasty and acie smoothy was excellent. Friendly and cool staff. Recommended ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

Loved the place! Simple and cosy

Ordered tuna sandwich. My wife and I shared a tuna sandwich. Service slow but not too concerned as sat outside in sun and had drinks. When sandwich arrived the bread was stale. An adjoining table had a couple who also ordered bread meals. They left their food on the table untouched and left.

Very slow service. When Sandwich arrived bread very stale. People on adjoining table took one bite and left the rest.

Just like the last review - awful service today - we only ordered 4 drinks - it literally took half an hour to be served - go somewhere else.

visited this cafe yesterday with some friends for lunch and to say i was disappointed would be a huge understatement. The staff were not only unfriendly but took ages making our drinks and food which they got mostly wrong and even told us some of the drinks were correct even when we saw the receipt was not what we ordered. All in all, a really unfriendly and unwelcoming place- would not recommend, much better places for affordable and tasty lunch options further on in the lanes.

Tonnes of gluten free options, really nice coffee, and they now sell acai smoothies ❤️ The owner Zoe is lovely and it's very reasonably priced for the North Laine. Will be back soon.

Best chicken and cheese toast and vanilla milkshake I have had so far. Presentation also was great.

When we are in town, me and my husband always go to this pretty café for a cup of tea or latte. Their ‘home made’ chocolate cake is actually made in heaven. There’s a perfect sunny spot in the back garden, blanket provided for chilly days.

Waited 35 minutes for a coffee. Which was burnt.

Terrible service. Incredibly slow they forgot everyone’s orders. Staff have no idea what they are doing. Would not recommend this to anyone.

Have been here twice now with a friend as it's close to our office and not in a hurry to go back. Our first visit ended up with my order being wrong and today's visit ended up with my friend's order having something missed off. It's also expensive for what you get, paying £6.50 for two sausages between 2 slices of sourdough bread. Service is also very slow.

10 mins waiting for a worst take away coffee

great people, smoothie was a fair price! also gave me lemon and honey water :) helpful suggestion for my sore throat. bathrooms available and back patio and downstairs area was all lovely. smoothie was so good (i got mangos blueberries strawberries raspberries and bananas which is all except pineapple) super good, will come again!!

11AUG22.... visited Brighton needed refreshments & lunch. Found this pink fronted cafe which looked very inviting... had a dairy free iced coffee & tuna mayo brown sandwich - just what I needed. Spoke with Hebe, her first day at this cafe, on vacation from Uni. What a fab young lady, extremely friendly & so polite....her parents must be so very proud of her. Well done Hebe, 1st class customer service. Good luck at Uni & for your future. Hugs 🤗

A ver, Coca-Cola caliente, batido con el vaso lleno de chorretones por fuera, I café late con grumos en la leche. Un croissant con la mantequilla en una taza caliente, o sea que con aceite. Mucho tiempo de espera Es muy caro para este servicio

Whenever we visit Brighton, we stop off at Sixteen. Always clean and bright, with a great menu. I'm always tempted by their toasted bacon and cheese sandwich which is absolutely delicious. Often followed by a slice of one of their homemade cakes. The propriortors are really friendly and you're always made to feel welcome. Highly recomeded.

Tasty toasties and great iced coffee but slow service! We waited about 30 mins for 3 toasties (2 the same) which we felt was a bit long! Would visit again though :)

Best fried egg sandwich in Brighton

This was the third year I have visited this establishment whilst on holiday and it didn't let me down

Iced coffees reasonable price and taste good, staff were nice and pleasant, has a secret garden, stable seating so if ur old will be ok

Lovely strong coffee and nice bacon sandwich. Very pleasant staff.

I've used Sixteen since they opened and always like to have a coffee, sandwich and a cake or a full breakfast! The staff are very nice and friendly and the cafe has a downstairs area, toilets along with a great outside peaceful patio space. They have a range of different milk options along with really great tasting coffee and excellent vegan flapjacks! I would highly recommend it here.

Great coffee in a well located cafe. I went there to do a bit of reading and as the sunshine was proving a bit distracting I moved further inside. Upon doing so the manager (I presume) came up to me and asked me if I could please not ‘stay for hours’ as I had my iPad with me. At this point I had been there for half an hour. I understand where this was coming from - Brighton has a big student population and I am aware of the tendency to buy one drink and stay for hours on end. However I would recommend having a sign which specifies the length of time customers are allowed to stay (as I believe the bigger chains such as Starbucks do) to prevent this from happening.

We came across this little cafe when walking through the lanes. The sandwiches are delicious and of a generous portion, served on a black square slate. I had the tuna melt on granary bread, which was very fresh.with loads of filling. The cappuccino coffee was lovely and hot and of a smooth flavour. We sat upstairs in a small light room, simply decorated but really clean. The staff were very friendly and the service was excellent. Recommend this to everyone! If I lived in Brighton I would go back next week.

Lovely family run cafe with excellent, honest food and a pleasant vibe.

Great. We (my 16yo daughter and I) loved it. Relaxed and friendly vibe and matching staff. Also, and this helps, the coffee was good and the toasted ham & cheese croissants were exactly what we were hoping for. A haven.

We had wondered around the North Laines and needed somethin to warm us up as it was getting cold; this superb little place cam into view and in we popped. In short order two delicious spicy Lentil soups where placed in front of us along with warm toasted bread. The soup and toast were both really well seasoned and so very tasty, just did the trick. The place itself is nice, clean, tidy and has a wonderful outdoor seating area as well as seating to the front so you can people watch.

Quite basic but nice cakes . Has a lovely back garden with tables in which I only found when I went to the loo which looked very nice to sit out in. Good place to sit and people watch!!!

Loved it, very clean and extremely well presented food, tasty, well recommended 👌

The loveliest cafe in Brighton. Such kind and friendly owners, excellent food for a good price!

Excellent food at a great price and very lovely and helpful staff.

Love this place so much, a breakfast here honestly gives me new life

The cakes and the drinks are a delight!!!

Great place, affordable prices and lovely tea and toasties.

I bought a round of delicious homemade cakes (strawberry & pistachio, vegan chocolate fudge and carrot cake) from Cafe Sixteen this week for a friend's birthday and they went down brilliantly. They also do really nice coffee and other homecooked food all more reasonably priced than some of the other cafes in the area.

this little coffee cafe is like an oasis among the huge choice in Sydney street it has a excellent choice of Drinks but what makes the difference is the wonderful cakes all made in-house served with a fork. they also do snack meal meals made fresh to order - they have a quiet area downstairs with a sofa and outside seating (on the street) there is a single step at the entrance and a child's high chair if needed

By far the best handmade breakfast with great varieties of drinks and homemade sourdough. Super friendly staff

Had a great breakfast with mine and my sister’s family. 4adults and 6children all catered for excellently. Lovely gluten free option of potato cakes! Great homemade waffles.

we Regularly visit this cafe for great coffee and lunches, by far the best place to sit and enjoy the north lanes

We were sheltering from the rain in this lovely little café. They served the lightest and fluffiest Waffle that I'd ever had (accompanied by perfectly cooked Egg and really tasty bacon). Warm welcome and great customer service. Very reasonably priced too.

Delicious food. Friendly staff.

Petit salon de café avec petite restauration. Une pause bien venu au calme. Produits frais et sourires au rendez vous. Grande propreté - wifi - et cour aménagée. Bref, un havre de Paris pour déguster tranquillement un café et un petit encas !

This is an underused cafe that deserves more clientele. The food is always tasty and excellent value for money. The owner and his wife deliver very friendly service and you're left alone in peace once you've got your food. It's not a big place but it does have a relaxing space downstairs along with a patio garden, table and chairs. In the main café there are window seats for people watching. There are vegetarian options and the portion size is generous. There are also toilets downstairs. I would give it a try if you're in the area.

Lovely cafe with very affordable prices! The staff are always kind and the soup is delicious. :)

This is a little gem. We had baguettes and a pot of tea. Brie and bacon, and smoked chicken salad...both were excellent, tasty and freshly made...but I’m just going to have to try the soup next time, tomato and lentil...yum. Got to admit I spent my time looking at what other people were having to eat and kept thinking oh that looks so yummy! Staff are great too.

Lovely little breakfast cafe. Excellent coffee too!

Friendly satff and One of the best bacon sandwiches ive eaten 😋

Wonderful friendly atmosphere, owned and run by a husband and wife. I love going here with a friend or two as well as alone when working or reading a book. I love all their food especially their baguettes, everything is freshly made. The owners are so kind and nice, they always remember me when I go. There's a very homely downstairs and little garden out the back it's very quiet and peaceful despite being in the middle of a very busy part in brighton. Lovely stop off for a hot chocolate, downstairs they have many fun books for kids (e.g. where's wally, art attack books etc.) If you want the experience the true vibes of an independen, friendly cafe when visiting brighton I would highly recommend.

Nice cafeteria, has Wi-Fi and student discounts.

I went here for a coffee and ended up buying a slice (generous) of carrot cake and a hot chocolate, as you do. The carrot cake was moist and very tasty. I eat it to quick to take a picture. The cafe is very peaceful and relaxed unlike many others.

I love Sixteen because it's so peaceful. I'm a world where every coffee shop seems to want to double as a nightclub, it makes a refreshing change to be able to sit quietly and contemplate over a coffee. I regularly eat here too, and the food is always fresh and tasty. The staff are lovely too.

En una necesidad desesperada de tomar un refrigerio mientras exploramos la gran cantidad de calles comerciales tropezamos con Sixteen. Era media tarde y solo había otra mesa ocupada en el café, dijo, tuvimos que sentarnos afuera porque cada otra mesa estaba cubierta de vajilla sucia.Nuestro pedido fue rápidamente tomado y nos sentamos afuera, desafortunadamente la única mesa libre estaba cubierta de detritus de los comensales anteriores, así que tuvimos que limpiarla nosotros mismos. Nuestro té y café tardó unos 15 minutos en llegar, demasiado tiempo, en mi opinión, mi café había sido derramado en el platillo en el camino desde el mostrador, aunque el crédito es correcto, el camarero fue y tomó un pañuelo de papel para limpiar el desastre arriba.A las 3 . 80 No me puedo quejar del precio de las dos bebidas, pero el servicio fue muy lento, no hay sitio donde ir si tienes prisa.

Good Coffee & Student discount. The staff are friendly, and its also located in a very cute street

Love this little cafe- the avocado sandwiches are great ❤

Decent prices, delicious food and chilled atmosphere

According to their website I was expecting to be somewhere fabulous but found just an average cafe. A reasonable selection of food and cakes but dog eared menus and tables needing cleaning. The cake, tea and coffee was okay but nothing special.

Nos fuimos a almorzar y fue simplemente encantador. Éramos cinco, dos adultos y tres niños. Todos teníamos algo diferente y cada uno era encantador. La comida es de la más alta calidad y probado increíble. Un lugar encantador y tranquilo con un gran servicio, que fue atento pero no demasiado. Si estás en la zona, te costará encontrar un lugar mejor para parar.

Friendly, family owned. Drury coffee and teas. Homemade cakes. All day breakfasts, waffles, soups and salads. Light and airy. Pretty patio. Seating outside. Passionate about sourcing their produce.

Clean, calm, quiet, the tea was good, the staff were happy and polite, but the carrot cake was simply divine. Seriously. Best cake I've EVER eaten. Can't recommend this place enough.

Estaba de compras en North Laines y estaba desesperado por un café y algo para llenar el vacío sin que costara un brazo y una pierna. Me encontré con Sixteen que parecía sin pretensiones, lea el menú y la sopa casera a las 2. 50 parecía demasiado bueno para ser cierto, pero entré y me sorprendió gratamente. Lenteja picante servida con Ciabatta. Muy buena sopa, servicio amable. No pude ver el jardín porque era un día frío de diciembre. Voy a hacer un punto de eso la próxima vez. Recomendado.

Esto es café ha sido una sorpresa.

Super nice place with delicious quesadillas. Perfect to just relax, watch people passing by on the street and they even offer student discount!

Nos gustan los cafés pequeños, en lugar de las grandes cadenas. Y nos encontramos con Sixteen. Tuve un panini tostado encantador con pollo, queso y mayonesa. El servicio fue rápido, el hombre detrás del mostrador era sonriente y agradable y los pasteles se veía bien. . . aunque resistí. Creo que se necesita una segunda visita. . . solo para verlos.

Brilliant sandwiches, good coffee

Very lovely place for a break! Good food and coffee for reasonable prices! Clean toilet!

It's an awesome place to do some homework and chill !

Lovely made coffee here in the heart of the north lanes. They even have a hidden patio garden at the back.

Great cafe and lovely garden. Best cafe in brighton

16 no puede ser más llamativo en Sydney Street tienda de frente o en el Laines en general, pero creo la gente debería mirar este café fabuloso poco.

Mi pareja y yo disfrutamos de tener un brunch. La patata pasteles fritos con bacon y huevo y la patata tartas con aguacate fueron excelentes. Realmente disfruté el café, lo que llena un ponche de sabor sin ser amargado o duras. Resultó ser un paraíso verdadero cuando cualquier otro sitio estaba muy ocupado para las vacaciones. Han de estar acogedora planta baja también y un pequeño jardín que debe ser agradable en verano. Además, como visitante a Brighton, me complace ver que los precios no eran tan molesto como cualquier otro sitio parece ser. El precio me pareció muy razonable para comida de buena calidad y la bebida. El personal es muy agradable. Apreciamos mucho!

Lovely simple cafe. Many options where to sit, normal seats in cafe, high seats in cafe, sofas in living room or in quiet patio garden. Menu is simple but sourced locally and fresh. Great taste great quality and great service too.

This Cafe was very nice when we visited today and the service was very good

Tuve la tarta de vainilla más increíbles que he tenido!

Una cafetería fantástica en la zona norte de laine con excelentes ingredientes de procedencia local y ninguno de los lugares cercanos de presunción.

Excellent food and hot chocolate. Wonderful atmosphere too.

Accueil vraiment chaleureux, endroit agréable où il fait bon vivre, un large choix sur la carte, ce que nous avons mangé était vraiment délicieux pour un vraiment petit prix ! J'y retournerais c'est sur, un délice !

Only stopped off for a take away coffee but I decided to sit inside and have a naughty piece of cake too. Lovely friendly atmosphere and I wasn't hurried along after I'd finished like what happens in lots of other small cafes. Ill definitely be returning!

We were looking for a late lunch in the Laines with our two toddlers. We wanted something nice for us plus a simple ham sandwich for the kids. Ideally we also wanted somewhere with seating away from the traffic and with a little space as our 14 month old was fed up if being held.Sixteen worked out perfectly.Qwe had the potato cakes, egg, spinach and bacon which was great. Our little ones got a ham sandwich. Then we all shared a waffle and ice cream. I would add that the fresh smoothies are great.Best if all, Sixtenn has a patii out the back with seating. So we were able to relax fully and let our son stretch his legs a little.

Visited on a sunny August afternoon. The service was friendly and sincere. Sat in the lovely courtyard in the back which was mostly in the shade by mid-afternoon，but I don't like sitting in the direct sun so that suited me just fine. I had a chai late and a generous slice of carrot cake. Both were delicious. This place is a nice spot of calm only minutes from the station. I'd come back again.

This cafe in the busy part of the Laines, is very peaceful and more importantly caterers for both Veg and Gluten free, so makes it a good family meeting place. The owners are very helpful and understanding, Give it a try

This is a good little cafe. I have been here several times and always been pleased. The cake is lovely and the portions huge, the coffee is good too. I love the staff who are super friendly.

If there is one thing the North Laine area of Brighton isn't short of its cafes. This one may not look so different from the others but you can be sure of a warm welcome, good flavour coffee, and an amazing selection of cakes. If you venture downstairs you will find a small garden hidden away. It can be a lovely suntrap in the right weather. Try it! I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Came across 16 when wandering in the North Lanes. Lovely and friendly. Super courtyard garden with the tastiest home cooked food. Highly recommend and very reasonably priced.

Looking for a quick sip and stumbled upon this little gem. Lovely little cafe at great prices. Less than 6 quid for 3 great coffees, nice sun trap court yard out beck and smug downstairs too. Lovely owners. Will be back. Go there.

-Brownie(GF) and latte-Free wifi-Nice staff-Gluten free/vegan options available-Latte came with biscoff cookie-Outside seating available

After a day of shopping we stopped here and had some lovely cake with good coffee; all served with a friendly smile.Will return.
