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.

During the weekend Redroaster serves up the likes of their ‘Full Roaster’ a unique take on a full English including two organic local eggs, Sussex bacon, herb roasted mushroom, potato rosti, sauteed greens, and melted tomatoes on buttered ‘flour pot’ toast. Their cheesy parmesan hash browns are also a must! If you’re craving these during the week, breakfast is served daily until 11:45 am and features the dishes above among many others including ‘breakfast royales’.

From their pasta selection, you can expect truffle mushroom linguine or perhaps you’d like some linguine made from fresh white & brown crab, chilli, white wine and lemon, or a wild garlic rigatoni?

The original Redroaster, launched by the Michelin Star maestro Matt Gillan, is an Instagram lover’s paradise!

Prepare for Redroaster’s delectable menu, where classic British brunch items receive the Michelin star treatment. With an open kitchen using only the finest ingredients, their food is a true delight. While the portions are on the smaller side compared to other popular brunch spots, the quality and flavours are worth every penny. They also have the option to upgrade your brunch to their 90-minute bottomless extravaganza, offering endless cocktails and other drink options.

They were one of the UK’s first specialist coffee shops, continuing to roast their beans in Brighton as an acclaimed organic-certified roastery. But that’s not all—they’re also rated among the top 20 sustainable businesses in the country, ethically sourcing their supplies. This company truly cares about sustainability and the community, even running a profit-sharing scheme that supports social projects in Rwanda and the UK.

As if that wasn’t exciting enough, Redroaster has recently opened a new location at the refurbished Brighton Dome. This vibrant venue, off New Road and adjacent to the Pavilion Gardens, seats over 100 people and is the ultimate spot for alfresco dining.

ARTBOX Cafe in Brighton, established in 2019, continuously reinvents itself, with its theme changing every few months. Each visit brings a unique and exciting experience, as the café’s interior, menu, and boutique offerings transform to reflect the chosen theme.

Currently, the café’s theme is Hello Kitty and Friends. Previous themes have included Gudetama’s Lazy Lounge, Line Friends and BT21 Tasty Universe, and Pusheen’s Snack Parlour and people wait in anticipation for what’s to come. Each theme leads to a change in the café’s aesthetics as well as its menu and boutique offerings.

The café is a three-story haven for anyone in search of a dopamine boost. The ground floor welcomes walk-ins, offering delectable handmade, customizable ice creams (made on-site with sauces and add-on toppings available, including special custom character printed wafers). Take-out ice cream starts at £2.90. You can also get hot drinks, mocktails, bubble iced tea and milkshakes from their takeaway menu. Additionally, you can explore the shop on this floor, which offers unique items related to the current theme.

If you’re lucky enough to secure a booking, you’ll make your way to the second floor, where an extraordinary dining experience awaits. As you enter, you’ll find yourself surrounded by an Instagram-worthy interior adorned with Hello Kitty decorations, and a statue of Hello Kitty herself.

ARTBOX Café caters to those with specific dietary needs, offering a selection of vegan and gluten-free options. Try their themed ice cream sundae, waffle, delightful burger, bagel, curry or avocado toast. Prices for sweet food items range from £8.50 to £9.50, while savoury options range from £8.00 to £13.50. The attention to detail put into the dishes is nothing short of phenomenal. Despite a small menu, every dish is crafted with care and vegetarian-friendly.

Food arrives quickly, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the experience. And as a special treat, with each visit, you receive a themed coaster as a token of appreciation – why not try collecting all six?

While the café on the second floor is not accessible to all, the friendly and inclusive nature of ARTBOX Café ensures that everyone can experience what they have on offer. If you require wheelchair access, the staff is happy to set up a window table on the ground floor, allowing you to enjoy their sit-down menu. The shop and takeout counter on the ground floor are also wheelchair accessible.

They describe themselves as a “late-night coffee & cocktail house”. The hidden gem opens from 10 am until different times in the evening depending on the day. Situated in the heart of the south lanes, the café hosts an interesting interior with captivating neon signs, a colourful LGBTQ+ flag hung from the ceiling, and eye-catching wall art that celebrates individuality.

Seating is limited but there is a choice of indoor or outdoor seating with a sofa option, giving off real Central Perk from Friends vibes. The location of this café is great and no matter where you choose to sit, you will be treated to a view of bustling Market Street with people walking past constantly, creating a relaxed and homely atmosphere.

Although some wouldn’t expect this place to serve food, they offer breakfast, lunch, or Turkish tapas options with sweet and savoury meals. The names of their dishes are as unique and whimsical as the café itself. I wasn’t sure of what to get, on one hand, I want my classic Avocado on toast but on the other fancy something plant-based and filling (those were the names of two meal options at the café). They cater to vegans and vegetarians and the options are great and worth trying.

Their breakfast offer includes savoury meals like a Turkish shakshuka-type dish or avocado on toast. There is also a selection of sandwiches and wraps as well as pancake options with sweet versions available. This place takes the art of Instagram-worthy meals to a whole new level with its colourful pancakes.

On the topic of sweets for around £10-11, you get yourself Belgian waffles with flavour options like triple chocolate, strawberry king, pistachio delish, strawberry yumm, caramel & coconut or you can create your own with two types of chocolate, fruit, and toppings. The other food options available include a range of Turkish tapas like baba ghanoush and kofte. They also have a cheese platter or nachos to share. The prices are reasonable, and the portions are generous, we we’re full for the rest of the day.

For drinks, they have both hot and cold drinks available as well as dessert cocktails. If you’re lucky enough to get the chance to visit between 2 pm and 7 pm from Monday to Friday, you’re in for a treat! They offer a 2-for-1 deal on their house cocktail. Looking to take your taste buds on a journey? Pair a tapas dish with a perfectly crafted cocktail for just £15.95. Or perhaps two tapas and a glass of wine for £18.95 may be what you need.

The service was very friendly, and the food is served quickly. A big plus in my opinion is Alex, the mascot of the café, a dog who always sits around on the sofa or wanders around to get some attention.

Munchies Craft cafe in Brighton is a woman-led, LGBTQ+-friendly place which welcomes art and music. If you are an artist and would like to display your art in the café for free get in touch with them. The café also sometimes hosts live music events in the evenings.
