I’m not one to ever write a negative review, but I can’t ignore the way I’ve just been treated at this cafe! I ordered an iced latte and went to sit outside. As I was outside I realised i should’ve ordered a hot coffee instead of iced, so I went in to ask if I could change it. Before even getting a chance to speak, the barista said ‘can you go and sit down and we’ll deliver the drinks to you like everyone else thanks’ in a very rude way. I said sorry I’m not here to collect I’d like to see if I could change my drink order. Straight away it was a rude ‘not if I’ve made it, can you sit down and we’ll bring it to you’ I then see my order and they’ve made it as a hot coffee, so I said ‘oh this is my order I think you’ve made a mistake as I ordered it as a iced latte but actually came here to change it to hot’ and again, very rudely, not acknowledging the error, said ‘worked out then didn’t it’. I’m sorry this was SO rude, never seen anything like it, on a sunny Saturday in Brighton this behaviour was uncalled for and simply won’t be returning on this basis - which is a shame as the coffee is usually lovely. Rude staff - particularly the barista. (despite the man who was running the drinks - he was lovely)

Stopped by for breakfast on a Saturday morning but despite it being busy service was still quick and the staff were very helpful and diligent with checking food/drinks for my allergies. Had the chicken and chorizo toastie and it was so good I came back the next day for another. Fresh water being provided was also appreciated. Seating outside was clean and had a lovely view of the beach.

Very friendly and professional staffs. People working in any company are the main asset of that company, and staffs at the Flour Pot Bakery at the sea front in Brighton are very good example.👏👏

Terrible service. Here’s what happened: we went in to get some coffee and ordered an Americano with milk and a Flat White with soy milk. I should mention that we were the only ones in line—no other customers were waiting for their orders or standing behind us. As we sat down, two girls walked into the café, and from what we could tell, they were friends of the cashier. She left the register, and they started chatting loudly, giggling, and congratulating her on her birthday. When their birthday talk ended and they moved on to other topics, I realized that no one was making our coffee. I very politely asked about our order. Only then did they finally start making it, and here’s where it got interesting: the girl was visibly annoyed that I had interrupted her chat with her friends, and she was even a bit rude. Then, she started insisting that no one had told her one of the coffees was supposed to be with soy milk, which is impossible—I always make my order very clear. It’s hard to forget to mention something like that when you have lactose intolerance. In the end, she acted like she was doing me a favor and grudgingly made my coffee with soy milk, but she didn’t add any milk at all to the second coffee. Also, the tables were dirty and sticky, and the staff clearly didn’t care about cleaning them. This experience completely ruined my coffee run, and honestly, it’s no surprise that this place puts off so many people despite the brand’s popularity.

¡Hoy he restaurado completamente mi fe en la Harinera! Teníamos el más delicioso pollo, arándano, col y Brie palo francés, hecho por el chef en el lugar, y choclates calientes y café. Comida y bebidas eran 5 *, PERO fue el servicio que llevó esto de una experiencia de 9 a 10. La joven que nos atendió fue atento, atento y educado, al igual que el chef. FP ha echado de menos tener este tipo de personas en los últimos 3 años, personas que se conectan con personas y no tratan a las personas como una transacción. Hoy fue un día en el que de mala gana le di a FP una oportunidad de nuevo y debido a estos 2 voy a estar frecuentando de nuevo. Estamos muy agradecidos.

Wow! café fabuloso y personal amable! Acabo de dejar esta maravillosa joya en el paseo marítimo después de haber conocido a toda la familia de todas las edades para disfrutar de un gran café / tostadas / pasteles veganos y, por supuesto, cruasanes! Los niños disfrutaron de chocolates calientes de tamaño pequeño y los niños pequeños tenían mini chinos bebé. Hace una gran diferencia tener personal que está contento y orgulloso de su trabajo - la joven que procesó nuestro enorme pedido para 13 de nosotros - fue eficiente y servicial - la elección de pasteles y panecillos de desayuno atendió a todos nosotros - vegetariano / vegano y sin gluten. Los chicos que hacían los cafés hacían que pareciera fácil en un café ocupado. Gran frente de la casa! Recomendaría esta pequeña joya a cualquiera, ya que también hay una gran zona al aire libre para que los niños corran y, por supuesto, la hermosa vista del mar! ¡Qué gran lugar! ¡Gracias de la señora del sombrero amarillo!

Today was a difficult one for us as we were remembering our cousin with two of the people who looked after her in her final months. We chose the Flour Pot as it was close to where she lived, and it was the best decision we could have made. The three young people serving there today were so welcoming, kind and thoughtful, nothing was too much trouble. The cakes and coffee were delicious, we couldn’t have asked for better. We are sure to come back when next in Brighton.

Really disappointing. I ordered an Almond Croissant, took one bite and it was hard, dry and chewy. So hard that I struggled to tear a piece off. I never send food back but it was so bad I felt I had to. I told the lady behind the till that it was stale and she said there was no way it could be as they order everything in fresh that day. She said she would give me a new one but that she couldn’t guarantee it would be any different. She then reiterated again that there was no way my croissant could have been stale as everything is fresh. During the whole interaction she was surly, bordering on rude and made me feel really uncomfortable. I didn’t even ask for a replacement I just informed her that it was stale as I thought there must be a problem as there is no way that is normal. Maybe being on the seafront the salty air makes the pastries chewier? I’m not sure but won’t be back due to the bad pastries and service.

Food is always good from here, but a bit over priced. I feel like a lot of food places are trying to get away with charging high prices for half decent food and won’t get called out on it as other places are doing the same! Service here isn’t great, staff seem a bit distracted and o have been here a few times and if the staff know someone they let them cut the que even if it’s very busy and people have been waiting around a lot longer. Food is good, service not so much. :)

We were so excited to come and visit, drove over an hour and a half because it looked so great online and to give credit where due it has a really great view and my other half really enjoyed his sausage roll but the selection was nowhere near what was suggested online. The almond twist was really quite stale, (in fact I think it had been put at the back to be thrown but the staff suggested it given they barely had anything else). The milk in my coffee had actually gone off too. I was quite surprised as we got there mid morning so did expect a little better. I’m sure the other branches have a slightly better offering so would suggest trying one of those instead of the beach front one.

My wife and I ordered at the counter and got told to find a table and they'd call our number out. We sat outside in the far corner and met with some other family members who had already ordered. It was a windy day with music playing and our 1 year old was making quite a bit of noise. I watched staff coming out by the entrance and barely making any noise when calling orders but was also trying to catch up with my cousin. We sat patiently for 20 minutes and neither ours or my cousins orders came. I noticed the staff were no longer making coffees but seemed to be having a good chat so went inside (the place was really quiet with no one inside and outside half full) to ask the guy we ordered with if the drinks and food were on the way and he asked what we ordered then looked to show me 4 old coffees on the side and said they made them 20 minutes ago. I apologised for not hearing them calling either of our orders, handed him both receipts we'd been given and he said they'd remake them but to "make sure we listened out this time". Not being funny, I totally appreciate we missed them calling the numbers which was on us but my cousin and I were trying to hear them and I think without sitting in complete silence we'd have always struggled. Also, the place is not very big at all and it wouldn't have taken a lot to venture out slightly further than just the entrance to call an order and find who's it was. The staff clearly couldn't care less as they must have known there were 4 people there without coffee but seemed too busy having a good time. Anyway, we waited 5 more minutes and the barista came outside, looked me dead in the eye and shouted order 14. Okay, we didn't hear you the first time, I get your point. She gave us my cousins order then went inside. I waited 5/10 more minutes then went in again, asked a different staff member if order 16 was on the way. He said order 116 has just been made and is coming. I explained we were still waiting on 16 not 116 and he said "oh yer it'll definitely be getting remade now". I asked if he was sure as only 2 drinks had come so far. The barista looked through her checks and couldn't find it then the first guy I ordered from came out and had clearly lost one of the receipts. He asked what we originally ordered then I headed back outside and waited a few more minutes. In all that time not one person apologised for the wait or took any responsibility for what happened. Eventually the food and coffee came and the 2nd guy I had spoken to casually put the coffee down and said in a really arrogant and cocky tone "sorry for the wait". It had been 40 minutes since we first ordered to get a coffee and sausage roll. The only saving grace was the coffee was actually really good (hence not just one star) but the staff were just so arrogant and rude that it really lets the place down. I've no doubt they're used to dealing with tourists all day and it can be hard work but I manage a very similar place and it's one thing for a customer to make a mistake (us not hearing them call the order) but the way they handled it was so bad. The place could do with a manager on site who is a bit more responsible and alert compared to the staff who were there

Visited yesterday (Sunday 14th January 2024) and the week before as my husband and I like to stroll along the beach and we do really enjoy the sandwiches here, but unfortunately it is not a nice atmosphere to sit in, the week before the guy was shouting so loud and showing off this week the music was so loud yesterday I thought we were in a nightclub and even when one of the young girls who worked there said to the young man ‘ it’s a bit loud’ his response was ‘I don’t care’ simply there for his own enjoyment and not the enjoyment of the customers. Coffee shops are places to chat with friends or chill out. This sadly is not that place. There was also no cleaning the tables, so makes me question if behind the counter is getting cleaned. Hopefully in time some nicer places will pop up along there which will give people an alternative to enjoying their coffee and sandwich in a nicer atmosphere as opposed to a nightclub.

This is a bone dry pastry. Takeaway is very slow, the coffee is fine, nothing special, but this is a poor standard for a so called bakery. It's vegan (no butter, marg dries out), so that's part of the issue. However their bakers either don't care enough to make something better or are held back by some other constraint. If you read the reviews, they state everything is fresh daily and baked without additives, etc, but the truth is this is hard to qualify as baking. You would have to pay me to eat this again.

One was eventually delivered wet. Not a patch on the experience when it first opened. Definitely the poorest Flourpot branch probably complacency due to location.

Disappointing. No menu - they have labelled items on show that don't fully list the ingredients and aren't all labelled (and you wouldn't be able to see them if you were queuing - would be faster if they had a menu). Bacon bap - not much bacon, filled with cheaper ingredients like the egg. Fine if that's what you like. Ordered peppermint tea, reiterated when she put it down that that's what I ordered. Had been given green tea. Not great when you're supposed to be avoiding caffeine! Fancies itself but not delivering on the basics, sadly .

We visited around 8am and were served by a really pleasant and helpful member of staff. Sadly there was no gf option and only one person making coffee so service was a bit slow and although the capuccino and decaff latte were both lovely they were lukewarm warm rather than hot. I tried a Cinnamon and Orange pastry which was overbaked and quite chewy with no taste of orange. Overall this cafe has so much promise it just needs better management.

Really sad to see this prime spot so run down. The decor is so shoddy - doors all wonky on the front, paint chipping everywhere, outside furniture all rusty etc. It’s got the bare minimum on offer (used to have so much more), nothing looks or tastes fresh (sandwiches used to be amazing). The staff really don’t care, they’re nice enough but more interested in each other than customers. It feels like it’s about to close down, hope it does and either has a refit or someone else takes it over.

I have been a frequent patron of the Flour Pot for several years, since it first opened on the seafront, drawn initially by the cool but cozy ambiance, friendly staff and quality pastries, coffee and light dishes. It pains me to write this review, the few I write are usually for positive reasons, but I believe it's important to share my recent experiences which contrast starkly with those in the past. During my last visit, an unfortunate incident occurred where my normally well-behaved elderly small dog intermittently let out a few barks when other dogs came near our table. What followed was an unprofessional and humiliating response from the staff, who knew I was a regular customer and that this was not a regular occurrence. Instead of handling the situation discreetly the staff member chose to berate me publicly across the space and to ask me to leave in the manner of an unempathetic teacher ordering a misbehaving child to leave the class. I made no response to him except to stand up, gather my things and go. This was not only inappropriately handled but also created an uncomfortable atmosphere for other patrons, many of whom would be dog owners, and maybe have some sympathy with the situation. On going outside I looked among the seated customers to be able to apologise to anyone with a dog in case they felt my dog had prevented them from sitting inside (it was a sunny day however) but there was no one with a dog. I went back in to simply tell this to the member of staff who had just thrown me out and was treated to another humourless, pedantic monologue about why I and my dog were not allowed in. Immediately prior to this occurrence, I was truly thinking how much the cafe's standards and staff had declined. The once friendly and helpful staff who knew me by name now replaced by staff with an air of idleness and even antagonism; tables remaining uncleaned after previous customers for uncomfortably long periods; menu dramatically reduced and food quality deteriorated, often microwaved and delivered in soggy buns; no longer any plates, cups or cutlery, everything presented in take-away paper and no napkin given even if sitting at the table. It is disheartening to witness such a decline in an establishment that I and many of my local friends once held in high regard. I sincerely hope this feedback serves as a wake-up call for the management to address these issues promptly. The Flour Pot Cafe has the potential to reclaim its status as a quality local coffee, bakery and light meal spot, but it requires immediate attention to customer service, staff attitude, cleanlines and food quality.

The service at this branch was unacceptable. My wife ordered a cinnamon bun and after taking a bite she realised it was stale. When I calmly took it back to the counter, the staff member was rude and snapped 'it is not stale.' She argued that they were delivered fresh that morning and that 'that's just how they taste when they've been left out for a while.' We said that it tasted stale and she continued to argue with us saying she regularly eats the food and knows how it tastes and do we expect her to get continuous fresh deliveries. If pastries are no longer fresh after being left out (with no covering) it is not on the customer to simply 'deal with it' and pay an inflated price for baked items that no longer taste fresh. The woman who served us claims to be the manager, I sincerely hope this wasn't the case as the way she spoke to me was disrespectful and belittling. If she is a manager, i suggest Flourpot provide her with further training in customer service. Our family frequents Flourpots across the city regularly and I expect the quality of the food to be fresh, and to be treated respectfully.

A good spot but service slow, coffee burned and "babychino" criminally small for the price.

Food when available looks nice, customer service low standard, lack of communication with customers waiting apprx 10 minutes, cleanliness not brilliant, appears to lack management, promised much delivered little.

Service is what really let's this place down. The lady at the till practically holding the fort whilst three youthful staff stand around looking bored. I've seen people leaving the queue out of desperation. Shame since the location is golden.

Very kind staff who replaced a cinnamon bun my friend had bought when it was unceremoniously snapped up by a swooping seagull. The traumatic memory of this is improved by the fact that he was given a replacement - which was a generous gesture and much appreciated!!

Coffee is overpriced for the amount you are given and the service is very slow even when they don’t have to many customers. Waited over 20 minutes for our coffees and some cake. Outside is ok but not a lot of shade. Will not come again here

Coffee is okay, probably 3 stars for coffee, but the service is so slow. Have visited a few times due to proximity to the beach, but expect to wait around 15 minutes for a takeaway coffee.

TLDR; - slow service - staff didn’t know what was in the food - breakfast baps aren’t even made on site - they forgot about my husband’s drink - ‘fresh press’ juice is just a plastic bottle of juice by a company called Press Service was slow, there was a condiment in my breakfast sandwich that we could not find mention of on the menu, and the waitress seemed really confused about it when I asked what it was. She said they arrive pre-made so they couldn’t do anything about it, although she did swap it out for a sausage roll for me. By the time we finished our food we asked if my husband’s drink was on the way… turns out they forgot. The lady brought it over, and we discovered that the fresh press juice was just a plastic bottle of juice made by a company called Press. By this point we were so fed up that we just left it. Unfortunately we won’t be returning.

Lovely staff, place looks clean and well looked after. Everyone always seems happy. Management obviously know what they’re doing! Love the coffee and pastries, would recommend :)

Awful place. There was an odd atmosphere amongst the staff who seemed more interested in organising their Saturday night social plans, pouring themselves beer, rolling cigarettes in front of the kitchen, self congratulating on their amazing work and rota’s before proceeding to smoke on the premises wearing branded uniform. Had a lovely coffee in a paper cup - what a shambles. The owners need to ask themselves if this establishment represents the best of Brighton. It is an embarrassment.

We visited the restaurant with friends from Yorkshire for a breakfast. The food was lovely and well presented but I was disappointed at being ignored at the counter when trying to place my order - it was only when the manager asked if I was being served that the issue was resolved. The food is not cheap and the bill was over £50 for 4 x scrambled egg with variations and 4 drinks and I would expect better service for the prices being paid.

Lovely bustling cafe with outside and inside seating and views out to the west pier and beyond beside the i360. Friendly efficient service with excellent cappuccino and tasty lunch menu.

We were here for an bottomless brunch. We were seated as soon as we arrived and the servers were very attentive. We enjoyed the food and drink and thought the experience was great.

Walking through Kemptown we stumbled across this place. Is very small but has a much needed and appreciated outside area. The barman was lovely & sitting there watching the world walk by in the sun enjoying cold alcoholic beverages was gorgeous.

Unfortunately, even though there were many things right I'll be avoiding this place. The service was impeccable, good beer, perfect lighting and lovely music. So what was wrong? A coven of aggressive women believing they ran the place because they'd booked a table. At their request the music, that I'd been enjoying, was turned off so they could conduct their meeting whilst sipping peppermint tea. I'd suggest a pub isn't an ideal place for this sort of thing. Especially if you're hell-bent on spoiling the atmosphere for everyone else. Sadly, they're regulars.

Popped in for a late morning coffee and bite to eat. Good selection of wholesome cakes and sandwiches available. Went for the cheese, chicken and chorizo toasted sandwich and it was divine! Service was super friendly. But allow yourself time enjoy the experience, because it was busy and not fast. We will definitely return :-)

This is our go to place in Brighton, the menu caters to a range of tastes and we have some fussy eaters! Great atmosphere, fab food.
