Starfish & Coffee in Brighton and Hove - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Booked a mid-morning weekday brunch for a family with two teenagers. One of the best full English breakfasts we have ever had, great pastries and very good home made iced tea. Highly recommended.

Such a fab place for brunch. Great atmosphere and a great menu to choose from including vegan options. The coffee is superb and the staff are really welcoming. Tip is to book ahead to avoid disappointment.

Excellent service, coffee and breakfast! Served by a young man, who appeared to be on his own first thing and also had a chef not able to work. Changed the menu y last minute, and provided a great service! We went with this pancakes which was a great choice and would recommend.

The breakfast was without doubt, one of the best I have ever had. Friendly, welcoming service in a quiet street just off the beautiful Queens Park. Definitely worth a deour if you happen to be in the area.

Didn’t get to eat the food because got bored of waiting for the work shy owner to seat us and then serve us. Not the first time but will be the last time. Do some work rather than letting your staff run around

Vegan breakfast is the best I’ve had. Different menu with lots of choice. Delicious pastries! And coffee is perfect. Lovely place.

Had a day out in Brighton and walked past many cafes from the Train station to Starfish & Coffee… probably a 20-25 minute walk. Was so worth it for the warm welcome and comic entertainment from the friendly staff. We had the most Gorgeous chai and Tumeric lattes and the scrummiest mushroom eggs Benedict ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The only room for improvement would be an update to the w/c facilities then you’d be ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very good wild mushroom Benedict and earl grey. Nice vibe, nice location nice manners, Would return again

Great food, but expensive. I heard the owner being pretty sarcastic to someone who hadn’t seen the ‘no laptops’ sign. Not sure why they don’t allow laptops on weekdays mornings? It’s always mostly empty when I pass it on my way back from school drop off to work from home. I’d love to have somewhere to go to have a coffee and work for an hour for a change of scene. It definitely could feel more welcoming all round. I’ll visit again for a weekend brunch, but probably only once or twice a year.

Fantastic brunch. The staff are really friendly, there are lots of options on the menu and the food is just divine. It never disappoints.

Always visit this place for brunch when in Brighton. Lovely place, dog friendly. Would recommend booking. Staff so sweet. Breakfast is top notch, all of it delicious. Really recommend the walk out to Starfish then a walk round Queen's Park. Keep up the good work!

This is our second visit and it was as good as I remembered. I had the mushroom hash ,my husband had the sweetcorn fritter special and it was all delicious. The mushroom hash was inventive and exceptionally tasty. It was absolutely packed (they had a weekend rush on a Tuesday),they also had Wi-Fi problems, however none of these issues impacted the customers and their service was lovely and so friendly. We had had a breakfast the day before ,that cost more ,wasn’t as pleasant on the pallet and had a 10% service charge slapped on it. Will definitely be on our favourite breakfast place list from now on.

Perfect traditional breakfast with a twist. Lots of alternatives on the menu. Choices for all tastes. Book if you are going at the weekend

Amazing food.. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff. Foid selection excellent. Good selection of cocktails

Father’s Day brunch glad we booked as very busy. All had different dishes all were delicious. Great attentive service and although it was full the food arrived together. Full English, Veggie breakfast and a Chorizo hash.

Came for a midweek birthday brunch having googled best brunch venues in Brighton. All the food was fabulous including mine (vegan) and beautifully presented. Staff are very helpful, friendly and attentive and venue is a nicely designed and a lovely environment to be in. Will definitely be going again.

Visited for a pre walk brunch to this brilliant busy and buzzing cafe. Excellent service and a big choice of some interesting and very different choices. We will definitely return.

We are visiting from Canada. Not only was our breakfast like art, it was fresh and delicious! This restaurant puts their heart into the food and you can taste it! The coffee was delicious too! We will be back before we leave for sure!

Lovely place and food is great, staff accommodated our request to move table in order for our dog not to trip people up. However their hands are tied with regard to menu swaps. One of our party is allergic to avocado and asked to switch for halloumi but could only do this if she paid the extra £3.50 for the portion of halloumi. The server said she would remove the charge from the bill but did not and it felt as though we were inconveniencing them hugely but an allergy cannot be helped and they did not offer to take £3.50 off the bill for skipping the avocado, which is the cost of a portion of avocado. The server stated the owner doesn’t let them which did not seem very inclusive where allergies are concerned.

Breakfast at Starfish & Coffee is always on the top of the list of things to do when visiting Brighton. The food is always fresh and the menu is so varied that there is something for everyone. The service is spot on with wonderful, attentive staff. As Prince said : "why should you wait any longer" - go and visit for yourself!

We stumbled upon this lovely little cafe when down in Brighton for the football today. We had brunch - a full English and eggs florentine, with all the tea we could drink. It was absolutely delicious. Certainly the best eggs florentine I have ever tasted,...

Everything was perfect , great coffee, perfect friendly service and the best vegan eggs benedict breakfast ever . Thankyou we will be back soon

A delightful place to enjoy a delicious brunch. A large menu with both sweet and savoury options. Myself & my boyfriend both went with traditional breakfasts - veggie & full English and would highly recommend. They were short-staffed on the day we went but the...

incredibly slow, over priced and pretentious. Eggs benedict served on burnt toast that was almost impossible to cut and chewy bacon. Although i did not have the english breakfast am always puzzled why beans are put into a separate dish. Cetainly wouldnt go again

Forgot to leave a review when I came in November, cane with friends I had the eggs Benedict it was delicious, great coffee and good service

We were "welcomed" by a waitress who seemed to not really be overly keen on serving us as she said, as we sat down, that she wasn't sure if they were still serving food. We were lucky enough that they were and our order was...

Unreal brunch in the most beautiful surroundings and location. Staff couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating. Stunning food and cocktails, this place clearly stands by its commitment to outstanding food provenance, best ingredients. And the welcome to four legged friends adds to the charm....

Breakfast - Tasty food but only warm. Coffee too, only warm. Service too slow. Staff offered to heat up.

Great place, friendly staff, tasty delicious brunch. As you’d expect from the title of the place, fantastic music too.

Had the delicious vegan hash bowl for the second time. Really friendly staff and great food, what’s not to love 😊

Great quality and well presented food! I had the eggs Benedict which was lovely! It’s not the cheapest place but you pay for quality! Highly recommend

This is such a great spot for brunch / lunch. The staff team are really helpful and nice, and bothered to stroke and talk to our dog ( always a winner ). The food is delicious and a great veg of meat / veggie /...

Came back to Brighton and came back here. Had the vegetarian breakfast in an attempt to be more healthy. All great butbthensausage was a little disappointing (a it tasteless and wooden) there are better types out there. Coffee was great and they are very friendly....

Bacon sandwich a joke 6 pounds 25 take a way just tasted off warmed up bacon cooked day before bread dry never again eat hear

We hadn't booked, but the waitress managed to get us a table. She was very friendly and helpful. We went for the mushroom hash and the chorizo hash and both were excellent. We had two coffees too which were great. Definitely worth a visit.

Always a must when visiting my partner in Brighton when she is away with work. Best brunch around. Have been forced to try other places ( be sure to book a table this place is VERY popular) but always come back to Starfish and Co!...

Lovely spot, hidden in a corner, yet so popular The price seem a bit high but you are full till dinner Great food Large portions Friendly staff I would recommend if you are about & looking for a nice brunch

This place is amazing! We had the pancakes and they were hands down the best pancakes we have ever had! The coffee was also exceptional and lovely staff. We just wish we lived closer 🥲

Service was great. Lovely place. Portion size on the smaller size. Potatoes lacked flavour (more boiled)

Delicious brunch. My husband had the eggs Florentine and I had the mushroom hash. All great quality and staff were super friendly. Would definitely go back.

That was the best eggs royal what I ever eaten! 😋🙃🙂 The staff was friendy, nice atmosphere next Queens park. Thank you guys.

Popped in hoping for a sausage bap and coffee to take with me on my walk in the park. The sausage 'sandwich' was on toast (not warned of this... gutted, I love bread!!) that tasted like it had been brushed with sunflower or veg oil...

Perfect and More! My 91 year old father lives near Starfish & Coffee. He hasn’t left his home for almost 3 years. He has mobility problems and gets anxious about being outside and falling over. Today I took him to Starfish and Coffee for lunch....

Went here with a friend today and had the most delicious Buddha bowl I have ever had! My friend was equally impressed with his chorizo hash. Lovely staff, excellent service and yummy coffee.

Family weekend brunch. Excellent food, value and service. Bright and breezy atmos. Book early to avoid disappointment

What an absolutely delightful cafe . An unexpected need to have lunch whilst awaiting the collection of my father from the local hospital. The food was divine, the staff wonderfully attentive and kind . I shall be sure to visit Brighton to be able to...

La croissanterie n'est pas bonne, Je déconseille le croissant. Par contre les petits déjeuner sont bons et le personnel est...

Whilst a bit out the way, so worth the walk for this wonderful place. We all had different meals, and each was delicious & well presented. Cheeky Mimosa & good coffee made the meal complete. Plus friendly & most attentive staff, made me chuckle! Thank...

Whilst on a stroll we stumbled upon this cafe, out of the way but close by. We were greeted instantly and taken to a seat by a very friendly waiter. The space is small but well laid out. We didn’t feel too close to anyone....

Other half dragged me to this restaurant after we'd already walked 6miles... and it was another mile or two uphill all the way.... by that point it was almost 1.30pm and I was most definately hangry, tired and taking no prisoners. First impressions was just...

Most delicious breakfast I've had out and not a huge price. Vegetarian breakfast amazing. Only critic is the extra charge for gluten free bread. Although the bread was great, doesn't seem fair for an allergy.

From the food to the drinks to the service and the atmosphere, that was one of the best brunches I’ve ever had. If you’ve never tried Starfish and Coffee- you should.

Highly recommend the pancakes with bacon and blueberries! Nom! Despite having to climb mount everest to reach the cafe 🤣, it was well worth it. Excellent food, great atmosphere, clean & tidy. Will definitely visit again on my next trip to brighton!

Me and 2 friends came to Starfish and Coffee for brunch and had a wonderful experience. The staff were really friendly and the food was delicious. I’ve been twice now and always have to order the chorizo hash, it’s been fantastic both times. My sister...

Visited Starfish today for breakfast after family living in Brighton recommended it. Absolutely delicious and the service was impeccable. So friendly and accommodating and a breakfast to die for.

We booked in for breakfast at ten - it was great! I had the most amazing banana pancakes. They were super fluffy and had both fresh and dried banana on them. Would definitely recommend this place to a friend!

Fantastic neighbourhood breakfast spot. I devoured the chorizo hash. My family's pancakes, eggs Benedict adn croissants looked pretty damn good. Coffee on point as well. Staff lovely, and extremely Covid-safe.

Draw in by the name (for all you Prince fans out there), we discovered this absolute gem. The food was amazing, delicious flavours and beautifully presented. Staff were cool, attentive and friendly. I can honestly say this was the best brunch EVER!

This place is so great! I have just been as a solo diner and really enjoyed just sitting in such a chilled atmosphere, friendly staff and amazing food and drink. This is the place to go for breakfast and coffee. Coffee tastes great and I’ve...

Me and my husband came here for breakfast whilst in Brighton. I’m always dubious about ordering pancakes at a restaurant/cafe as they are usually really tiny portions but decided to give them a go and my goodness, I’m glad I did! They were delicious and...

I went to Brighton for a few days and wanted to go somewhere for brunch. I found this place in an online article and I am sooooo glad I made my way there. It's a wee bit away from the centre of town but definitely...

We visited Starfish and Coffee on a family trip to Brighton. Food was absolutely delicious and fresh and service was amazing, definitely worth a visit :)

Great cooked breakfast - tasty and querky. Waffles looked amazing. Friendly and attentive without being intrusive. On holiday, came here twice. Would highly recommend

Last minute arrangement for lunch. My son and I are both foodies, I have made complaints about some Brighton restaurants recently post lock down and so disappointed with them. Wont go in to names....So my son had pancakes and bacon with syrup and a smoothie...

From the beautiful iced coffees to the sublime avocado on toast, this is a gem of a brunch spot opposite Queens Park. The vibe is great - relaxed, open and friendly with music that fits perfectly. The portions are perfectly sized but punch a huge...

Welcoming, family friendly, delicious food! They were fantastic at responding to an allergy query that we had for our toddler and we’re very accommodating. We will come again!

Best pancakes I've ever had! Lovely service. Quaint little brunch spot in the heart of Brighton. Loved it. Would highly recommend 👌🏻

Managed to fit in without a booking and serve amazing coffee. The pancakes were fluffy and bacon was incredible. Staff so friendly and helped with giving us recommendations on where to visit in Brighton.

Delicious breakfasts, great coffee and friendly service. Stayed in a local apartment and were so lucky to have this cafe round the corner. We went there three times so I tried eggs benedict, the full English and smashed avocado. All delicious. If you’re in the...

Very good coffee. Excellent location opposite Brighton's beautiful Queens Park. Really nice owner who is so welcoming. Brunch very nice. Reasonable prices. Cakes a bit disappointing unfortunately. Bit stale. Would still come again though as cooked food and coffee very nice and nice place to...

Absolutely delicious food and drinks. Visited for brunch on a Sunday at midday. Really enjoyed the lovely atmosphere, gorgeous food and frozen smoothie. Wish I wasn't so far away in London so I could return.

We walked up to Starfish and Coffee from the seafront on our final morning in Brighton - and my word, was it worth it! We absolutely loved our brunch - the veggie breakfast and the eggs benedict were really tasty, and the coffee/tea/orange juice were...

We had booked a table for our first morning in Brighton at Starfish & Coffee. This place was so good that after our first visit here, we had booked all our 3 mornings for breakfast here for our short staycation in Brighton. Tony the owner...

I absolutely love Starfish and Coffee. Tony, the owner and his staff have done an incredible job staying open through lockdown and serving up delicious take away coffee, pastries and sandwiches. I can’t wait til they reopen, it’s my favourite brunch spot in Brighton. I...

Tony has made a fantastic cafe for family, even dogs are welcome and has been a bright light during lockdown for deliveries and takeaways. Great coffee, excellent vibes and lovely food - he’s even been swellimg deli style groceries during Covid. Always a treat to...

We absolutely love this place - the brunch is amazing and Tony and his team are always so friendly and welcoming. The veggie breakfast and pancakes in particular are delicious. We’ve also really loved the curry club and takeaway coffees during lockdown and we cannot...

We love Starfish, for coffee and cakes and delicious brunches - and the lockdowns have been made so much more bearable because of the take away savoury traybakes and the legendary Friday Curry Club. The service provided by Tony and his team makes you feel...

This lovely neighborhood cafe adds so much to the area. Delicious coffee and pastries which make a park trip a treat. The vibe is fun and relaxed and I'm really looking forward to getting back inside to have one of their tasty brunches when lockdown...

Third time here and first this year. This place is the best. Eggs Royale and vegetarian breakfast to die for. It’s 40 mins drive away otherwise I would come every week.

Had Brunch here on a Monday late morning when we were in town for a few days. Service and Food were excellent, will happily visit again. The bloody Mary and Mimosa went down well too :)

Lovely staff, friendly prompt service, fabulous food and a great environment. I definitely recommend

Amazing brunch! The pastries are so so good! Staff are lovely! In terms of social distancing, cleaning, it was really well done! Menus online via the barcode, tables throughly wiped, spaced out and all staff wearing masks.

Tony served us who was lovely and made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend the bunch burger. Would definitely put this among my favourite brunch locations in Brighton, especially given its right next to the beautiful Queens Park. Will be recommending this to friends.

¡He querido visitar aquí por un tiempo y estoy muy contento de haberlo hecho! Nuestro perro puede estar un poco nervioso y el dueño y el resto del encantador personal no podrían habernos hecho sentir más cómodos e incluso ¡le dieron a nuestro perro un helado para perros! Gracias por ir más allá, ¡volveremos!

Generous portions, with no comprise on quality. Excellent vegetarian and vegan breakfast and an extensive choice of drinks. Service was fab and staff were very friendly.

Este lugar es tan bueno. Mi amigo y yo compartimos el aplastamiento de aguacate seguido de los panqueques de arándanos. Todos los ingredientes eran frescos y las combinaciones de sabores en el aplastamiento de aguacate eran perfectas. Este no fue un éxito de aguacate ordinario. No vivo en Brighton, de lo contrario, sería un habitual comprometido. Fantástico, no te lo pierdas.

Si estás en Brighton, echa un vistazo a este lugar. La comida y el café son excelentes y los ingredientes son de origen local. La hamburguesa de brunch fue mi elección y fue fantástica. El personal es servicial y nos hizo sentir bienvenidos. Los restaurantes y tiendas independientes necesitan nuestra ayuda. No puedes tener este sentimiento en línea.

Después de revisar sus reseñas, estaba emocionado de probar su desayuno vegano, pero debo admitir que estaba muy decepcionado.El tofu tenía la textura del serrín y no tenía ningún sabor. Con el precio también siento que tienes que ofrecer más sabor y comida en el plato. Me fui sintiendo que lo mejor del plato eran los frijoles y eso es decepcionante para un lugar que ha ganado premios.

Mi esposo y yo visitamos a mi hijo y su familia y nos llevaron a Starfish and Coffee cerca del parque para el desayuno, ya que este es un lugar favorito de ellos. Todos tuvimos el desayuno inglés completo, que era excelente al igual que los cafés. Para nosotros, los dos son un poco caros a las 11 por cabeza, pero supongo que estos son los precios de Brighton. Vivimos en Boston Lincolnshire mucho más barato. Sin duda lo recomendaría a los viajeros. Servicio al cliente excelente y lugar amigable para perros.

Heel aangename, rustige plaats voor een lekker, Engels, ontbijt of Pancakes!Midden de locals die snel een koffie komen halen of met de laptop zitten te werken.Aanrader, en zeker voor de Prince liefhebber (naam zaak zegt voldoende...) De omgeving ademt Prince!

We visited the Starfish Cafe for breakfast and it was well worth the walk from the centre of Brighton. Both the vegetarian breakfast with halloumi and scrambled tofu and the avocado on toast with smoked salmon and poached eggs were delicious and perfectly cooked. Both meals were beautifully presented with modern flair.The decor and atmosphere in the cafe is refined and welcoming and the owner is knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating.We'd also recommend trying the excellent locally sourced coffee and buying some to take away. It's also the perfect place for admiring the steady parade of four-legged friends en route to the nearby park for their walkies!

Great price for quite a large portion. The pancakes with bacon & blueberries were so good. Lovely brunch spot. Friendly staff.

Fabulous food, great service, great location. Definitely a weekend breakfast must! We had the full English which was delicious but then we coveted our table neighbour’s pancakes which looked amazing.

A bit off the beaten track but worth the wander. Friendly staff. Very tasty food and a lovely vibe. Can highly recommend. The full English was delicious. The trek back was needed!

¡Nos detuvimos para un brunch dominical hoy y qué delicia! El personal era cálido, amable y muy atento, lo que hace que el ambiente y la experiencia sean encantadores. Toda nuestra comida era deliciosa y puedo recomendar encarecidamente a los panqueques qué queso fue el mejor que he probado en mi vida.

Lovely veggie breakfast, pancakes, brownie and coffee. Delicious food. Great atmosphere and service. Highly recommended.

Amazing service and food to die for. Pancakes were superb and all expectations were surpassed and menu catered for lots of dietary requirements! A real treat and must go!

We ate breakfast here mid-week. The waiter indicated which table he wanted us to sit at, said he would be over to take our order, and then sat at his table and took his own break. 15 mins later, sat amid very loud yummy mummies and children, I was on the point of walking out, but he finally arrived.

One of the best cafes to study Lovely view of queens park's entrance Dog friendly Great food Sweet staff

Honestly I cannot understand how this place is rated.
