Situated near the beautiful Royal Pavilion is Hello My Moon Cafe, a vegan and vegetarian Brighton cafe, which serves a unique blend of Mediterranean and Arab Food. Later, the cafe offers a variety of evening drinks and cocktails which can be enjoyed with delicious Borek pastries, homemade dips with warm bread and toasties that are served all day.
As I entered the Brighton cafe, I felt instantly welcomed by the incredibly friendly staff and cosy furnishings. Plants hang from the ceilings, decorative pillows adorn the seats, and a marble aesthetic runs through the cafe. This is paired with an exposed brick wall, creating a trendy but cosy atmosphere.
Although the menu is not overly large, it consists of several breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack options. The morning menu offers a variety of elaborate, toast options, as well as porridge, which are all lightly influenced by the owner’s Syrian roots.
The food at Hello My Moon
I started off with a dirty chai latte, served with a complimentary date, which was light, tasty and creamy. To follow, I had the avocado toast with an additional fried egg, from the morning menu. The flavour of the egg, mixed with the fresh avocado and lightly toasted bread, made for a very enjoyable breakfast.
Also, the addition of pomegranate, mint and hummus was a delicious twist from a regular avocado toast breakfast. I had agreed to share this with my friend who accompanied me to the cafe. But, as soon as it came, I knew sharing was a mistake.
With affordable prices, free internet and a ten per cent discount for students, Hello My Moon is a great place to study or have a late brunch with friends. In addition to that, this Brighton cafe is a great spot for evening drinks and Mediterranean-infused nibbles to enjoy with friends.
