Vero Gusto Bakery in Brighton and Hove

Delicious food, excellent service! fair prices too....

Inexpensive, delicious, great coffee ☕️

Great, proper coffee and choice of food. Tables could be much better placed to use available space. No sign for toilets.

You MUST try to eat something in this super comfy place. It is one of the best bakeries I have ever been to and the owner is the sweetest.

We ordered a calzone and a slice of pizza to go which tasted good and were reasonably priced, and the staff were nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend!

The coffee was bad, I've tasted way better coffee at the same or even with a cheaper price, the service was horrible, I felt that I owed them just because I was breathing the same air as them, when I had to pay, they didn't even told me "Now you can pay" nor anything, they just put the price of the coffee in the machine and then went to another place and then just came back, checked in the machine if I had already paid and didn't even ask if I needed the ticket. Horrible experience, I do not recommend this place.

Excellent coffee and fantastic croissants. To be recommended.

Delicious pizza and croissants!

Excellent coffee. Amazing ange of fresh astries

I tried the pizza and some of the sweets the sweets were really nice I really enjoyed it pizza was normal.

Their Croissant is really good, we tried chocolate and pistachio Croissant and both were good. They have pizza as well, there is 4 cheese pizza, margarita pizza, vege pizza, and tuna pizza. The cappuccino and americano coffee was also good.

Ended up stopping here most nights on our recent trip to Brighton for a pizza slice 🍕🍕😋. The cakes were also delicious

Excellent food and service with a smile highly recommended

If you are a pistachio fan, the croissant is to die for. The croissants in general I will remember for the rest of my life but the pistachio creme was so delicious. I got my standard flat white, it was delicious. Perfectly made coffee with an obviously good quality in how smooth it was. The vibes inside are so lovely. We passed this cafe every day on the way to or from our hotel and it was just as amazing as I dreamed every time I longingly stared through the windows. Music was atmospheric and inviting, but it wasn't too loud that I couldn't hear my partner across from me.

We fell upon this beautiful Italian bakery whilst mooching through Brighton. The array of pastries and colours were nothing short of beautiful, and we knew immediately we’d be leaving with a selection of goodies. We bought a focaccia to share there and then, and bought some sweet treats to take home. Everything was so fresh and delicious, and we will definitely be returning next time we are in Brighton.

Gatekeeping this one from the homies

i ordered from here, the first time, driver claimed it was delivered and didnt arrive, i then ordered again and my order was cancelled!!!

The pastry selection is amazing and the tart that I had was great, Drinks menu is a little hard to read.

Best cappuccino and pistachio croissant in Brighton. Went in every morning while I was visiting Brighton and will definitely return again.

Great coffee and the pizza slices are delicious, a great find I’ll be back

If I could put zero star I would. Poor quality food, expensive prices. Nothing Italian about this place unfortunately.

Bellissimo!! What a find! Great coffee delicious food, friendly and obliging staff. Grazie !

Took away some amazing pastries and the service was very friendly and good.

Lovely bakery with large fluffy pizzas and delicious pastries. One of the few spots in town where you can get good pizza by the slice. Did I mention their delicious cakes? Also, if you're a native Italian speaker it is a great place to have a chat, most staff are fluent and my Slovenian friend new to Brighton loved talking with them in his native language. Pop in!

Best Caffe` Italiano in Brighton. The real Espresso is at Vero Gusto: right temperature, right density, right brewing. The typical "cream" as you might appreciate in Italy. They are the best Italian Coffee in Brighton. Well done Vero Gusto.

Popped in for a coffee with my sister neither of us had been there before. Just had a coffee with was nice . Seems a popular place food looks nice, will definitely try for lunch sometime.

Very good Italian breakfast with cappuccino and croissant

Very nice Italian bakery!! Really nice atmosphere: Italian radio playing, owners are Italian and so lovely. Had a pistachio croissant and a coffee and all well-priced!

Lovely little place. Coffe and cake was delicious. Very welcoming member of staff.

The pizza slices are really value for money and damn filling with soft crumbs. They also have several other choices in desserts.

So sad. Bought Nutella brownies from the window to take away. Got home and saw liquid leaking from the cake. Took a bite. Nutella was fine but sponge was dry and tasteless and not brownie-like at all. So disappointed. I ate the chocolate spread and had to throw the sponge away. Waste of £4.

Lovely pistachio croissant and amazing coffee. Taste really authentic. When I visit Brighton again I will definitely come back!

I lived in Italy for a couple of years and am really happy to have found veto gusto and the authentic and delicious pizza, cakes and coffee. The taste is identical to any similiar cafes and bakeries in towns across Italy. The staff are excellent, they are nice and very welcoming. So far, I only have visited in the winter months and have only sat inside. Looking forward to the warmer months so I can sit outside, drink good coffee and delicious pizza. La dolce vita.

Our little family love this place, staff are always warm and welcoming. The pizza is amazing and reminds me of a trip to Rome. The pastries wow! Must have a visit buy a slice of pizza and warm your soul with some good grub!!

The Italian coffee here is sooo good. The food selection is really tasty too.

Cluttered between many shops at St.James street..this is a small but beautiful and calm place... The interiors are beautiful... They serve excellent bakery cuisine along with great coffees and teas... They serve pizzas, croissants, cakes, tarts, etc ...all fresh n tasty .. coffees and teas are made with love... Coffee consists of beautiful froth... The presentation at the outlet is very appealing... Service is also good... The quality and quantity is worth the price. Planning to visit soon ..

Good patisserie but the attitude of the servers was very rude.

unfortunately the lasagne was tasty but very small and really quite burnt on the edges the pizza had overly generous amounts of cheese but it was stuck to the lid of the box and missed tomato. The drink that was delivered was incorrect. Good food just unfortunate 😞

Possibly the best ever cake, I’ve had ever in my life!!!!!! And good coffee too, which is a rare find. There black americano was strong intense but smooth 😋

We now go to this little cafe up St James Street every time we visit Brighton. It's small, unassuming and humble interior belies the truly immense selection of savoury and sweet selections that awaits. I hate big thick deep crust style pizzas and yet whilst those found here, at first glance, look like that, they are instead light and fluffy, with just the right level of chewiness and delightful flavours. The choice of cakes and pastries is immense, homemade and truly delicious. The coffee is of a great pedigree and tastes just perfect. Finally, the lovely staff are friendly, engaging and helpful. A true gem.

Very expensive for the quality. A slice of pizza was £4.50 and a very old and dry sweet pastry was £4 . No explanation on the items or prices and the staff are not welcoming . If you try to ask they look at you with annoyance. Pizzas are cold and they reheat them on the microwave (don’t know if that’s common) I was hosting some friends so they wanted to try and we had a big selection of pizzas, they taste nice but too much oil. I live very close but I can’t justify £4 for a small old pastry.

Great italian cafe, hot pizza slices available from 8 am, plenty of choices. Fantastic fresh cakes. Very friendly and great service 👍

I wouldn’t say rude but the workers were very cold, they didn’t speak very loudly and mumbled and would answer my questions reluctantly. They only have a menu for the coffees which was obscured so I asked what type of cakes they had and he seemed annoyed. The food was so so good though

Tired a couple of things from here and I really enjoyed the food . The Nutella pastry is really good .

Absolutely disgusting reheated lasagne lumps of mince Enough cheese to resemble chewing gum Had better from an asda ready meal

Fabulous coffee shop with amazing pastries made on the premise. Thoroughly recommend

Synthetic cream cakes (don't be fooled by how nice they look) Terrible music played far too loud (presumably down to the kids left in charge when we visited)

Not sure if I would recommend 'Too good to go from them'

Real Italians great food cooked on the premises

We enjoyed a TooGoodToGo order here and then came back for lunch. Amazing and would come again.

Super yummy pastries and pizza. Nice coffee, better than the chain shops. Wish we’d found this place on the first day of the holiday! Very authentic Italian, close your eyes and you could be in a cafe in Rome!

Great place with fantastic food and coffee. Service was perfect and lovely. Keep it up! Thank you!

This place located centrally in brighton on Saint James street offers a variety of bakes from sweet to savoury. I did not want to give it a 4 star first but the food saved it. I had a chocolate cake which seemed made with coconut and cocoa topped with shredded coconut pieces. It tastes great and fudgy( 3£) The decaf latte was a large one for 3.3£, with a delightful taste of fresh coffee. The pizza is mind blowing, I love thick crust pizzas.but this one has a fluffy spongy thick crust, that is crispy on the bottom and melts in your mouth i got the vegetarian one which had mixed vegs and topped with probably the best cheese. In few words the pizza had an amazing taste that lifted me. A slice of pizza is for 2.95£. On the other hand, the place doesn't offer a menu with price list, and no prices are displayed on the items. One of the staff was very dry and looked bored which at first gave me a very bad impression of the place. But then I realised it is probably her character cz she tried to pull a smile while serving the coffee. The chefs are so nice and welcoming. I think this place should display item names and prices for people to be encouraged to buy because noone wants to order and be surprised by the bill or be annoying and ask about every single item price especially if staff looked bored and not interested to help. If it wasn't for this it definitely deserves 5 stars🤩 The ambiance had chill yet energizing vibe with mix of rnb pop and soul music playing the the background. Seating is okey but can be improved, you could also see the bakery kitchen which is reassuring.toilettes are clean and neat.

Great little Italian Gem in the heart of Brighton ❤️😍❤️🇮🇹

Vivendo in Inghilterra non è facile trovare locali dove assaporare cose di casa ma questo locale ci riesce proprio.. buonissime le focacce i dolci il caffè.. grazie.. tornerò di sicuro..

Nice place for cup of coffee. Lovely choice of pizzas

Great little Itallian spot, I go for a coffee or lunch. Loads of cakes, sweet treats, pizza and some specials. Really friendly staff.

Nice cozy Italian cafeteria, with many choices😋 in addition to good cakes and pastries, they also serve very good coffee. Nice staff and good service🙏

Amazing Italian cakes and pastries. Truly delicious like being in Italy

It’s Italian bakery , serving pizza and sweets They are welcoming and friendly It’s been there for the last 6 years Daniela were fantastic and helpful مخبز ايطالي يقدم البيتزا و الحلويات مرحبين و ودودين جداً المخبز له تقريبا ٦ سنوات دانيلا كانت رائعة بالخدمة و متعاونة جداً

The cake and the pastries look good but were DRY and old. The pizza was okay (hence 2 stars) but the staff were quite rude; they didn't seem happy to re-heat the pizza. The Nutella coffee sounds lovely but was really watery and it was a sad experience. We went somewhere else for coffee afterwards.

The food, even though looking great on display, was very old and stale. Very poor quality, the pastries were like chewing a rock, and the pizzas were very cold. I cannot possibly see how someone would rate 4 and 5 stars there. Will definitely not be visiting again

Stopped by as a bit cold too picnic on the beach. The server was helpful and kind, the coffee was delicious and pizza breads a great reasonably priced snack. The deserts looked insanely good!! We will definitely be back!

Walked passed the widow and the pastry’s caught my attention went in and was greeted by a lovely young lady. She was knowledgeable on all the pastry’s so I bought two Nutella pastry’s and two lasagna. The lasagna was absolutely delicious and very cheesy. Would recommend buying!

Excellent tasty good value croissant and coffee

Delivery was good, but the food was not nice.

This was my second time going and I had to write a review because of how much I love it - the food selection is excellent and very well priced! Very authentic bakery, I’ll definitely be back a lot!

Nice place to chill and enjoy the pastries. The owner is a friendly chap and we got great recommendations by him. Really enjoyed the special coffee concoction he made for us. Thank you!

Amazing food, but the staff can be quite rude

Nice place for coffee and breakfast

Nice place for a coffee and some pastries! ☕🥐

Outstanding, real Italian taste

Oh my goodness. What to choose? A pastry for breakfast, a calzone or foccacia for lunch or amazing gateaux to go with great coffee!?

Lucky find. Fantastic coffee and cake amazing. Clean premises and attentive staff. Good selection of savory and sweet food.

Always a short way to taste Italy delights. Fresh and delicious italian pastries,pizzas and coffee. Very welcoming staff.

Came here today for coffee and cakes with my family. Friendly staff, HUGE selection of cakes and pizza - all looked delicious. I had a fruit tart and kids had a delicious looking fruity cake. The pizza looked really delicious - we will try it next time we stop by.

Excellent family run eatery with excellent coffee and home made food and cakes xxxx Highly recommended

Superb excellent service coffee and staff

absolutely overpriced. For a non freshly baked, small patisserie 4 Pounds. It smells so bad. Can‘t recommend it.

Awesome food, very helpful people, and an amazing location. Must visit in the area.

a red haired waitress was very nice and helpful and had amazing suggestions. Thank you so much for the incredible service.♡♡♡

Staff super friendly, Great Italian food, pizza by the slice was incredible (there was even a vegan option pizza), there was also some vegan cakes and pastries. For meat eaters the choices were immense. 100% I'll be back and I'll be bringing friends.Cheers

The tasty pastries here and the girl's Italian accent brought me back to Italy. Although the coffee is not the best here, I'll keep coming.

Poor customer service, was made to feel unwelcome!!! I've been there couple of times and the waitress is always rude, she never says Hi/good morning or thank you even if I repeat it... As well, I can never place my order properly because she is always trying to rush me. It is a shame honestly, because I really enjoy the products.

An amazing family run traditional Italian bakery. If you are a coffee snob then this is the place for you!!!The selection of pastries is amazing. The taste is amazing.......like being in Italy (except it's currently raining outside) The best way to start a Sunday morning. Gary. I never write anything to Trip Advisor. But I told my partner, now I have to. When I tasted the croissant I almost started to cry because it reminded me for my Italian trips and adventures. Mille Grazie.🤩🥰 Bernadett

very dirty there should be a cleaner to clean the tables after people they are busy the food was tasty and Fresh but the general hygiene of place is not up the scratche

The staff was working alone and I understand the pressure,when i ordered a pizza,it was served cold.i was sitting and eating it there when the staff there did offer an option to other customers if they want it to be warmed.

Pleasent enough . Decent cake and pizza . Tables not cleaned /wiped (had to do this ourselves )

The bakery is very nice but I got confused few times with the prices. I went two days in the rota to get a couple of croissants and price almost doubled up over night. I would say maybe is the inflation but it also happened in the past. Prices are not exposed so its very hard to estimate how much it will cost. In future I'll ask before to buy Sweet and savory are good.

The pizza was too salty made it hard to eat, had to drink loads

Overpriced and no prices on display. £7.50 for 2 small cakes to takeaway.

Popped here today for pizza .. it were fresh and fab and so was the cannoli . Holi Conoli we will be back ….

Food was great and staff were really friendly and created a very nice atmosphere

직원분들 친절하시고 눈을 뗄 수 없는 다양한 디저트! 군침이 싹 맛은 평범했지만 꽤나 만족했음! 피자도 맛있어 보임!

Great staff, quality patisserie very italian Cornetto: cream - chocolate are top the staff are very nice and friendly and the prices are very affordable. My favorite place in Brighton when I go and visit my sun in University of Sussex.

We went to get dessert at this place. I bought a chocolate tart and a strawberry tart. The strawberry one was bad and seemed old. The chocolate one however was horrible. It was so stale and hard that I couldnt bite into it. I tried cutting it with a knife and half shot across the counter because of how hard it was. When I finally tried it, it tasted artificial like plastic. Needless to say it ended up in the garbage. What a waste of time and money.

Lovely cakes and coffee. Friendly service. Pizza looks good too

Over charged, cakes where dry and stale! Emailed the shop no response Best avoided at all cost

Lovely place and amazing service. I love the food 😍 Coffe is also so so good ❤️

Really nice and welcoming staff and the food and drinks tasted genuine
