“ So nice we went back the next morning! Difficult to find good places to eat when on holiday. Finding breakfast early morning with dog in tow where we didn't have to sit outside was a struggle however not a problem at Crave. They had lots of footfall (should really have more) so we popped in. We made our order including a sausage for the dog. Everything arrived quickly and was delicious even the sausage was all cut up in a bowl. The hot chocolate was one of the best, with real dark chocolate chunks sprinkled on top but it was throughout. The coffee was a proper cup of coffee not a chain-bramd cup of flavoured water. Definitely worth a pitstop whether you reside in Brighton or just on holiday like us. ”
“ I live close, and have been here many times. For me, their coffee is the best of any Coffee Shop/Restaurant in the area. On top of that they have fantastic food. I'm a big fan of their Shakshouka and Chicken Shawarma. ”
“ Had a fantastic veggie breakfast and tea, both me and my partner thoroughly enjoyed. Staff were so friendly and nice and made our two dogs feel very welcome bringing over some water for them and cooking some hard boiled eggs for them. We would highly recommend Crave to our friends and family and will definitely make plans to visit again. ”

“ Moved locally Sept 2019 and very grateful found Crave. Now most days I fulfil my CRAVE-ing .. for a good quality coffee, or a lovely sweet treat. Also with the help of lovely friendly team I am trying yummy new things for me off their healthy and interesting menu - all very good value and big portions!. They have remained open with good safety precautions in-place. And supporting local community including all NHS key Workers etc. The main thing is they put the CARE in CRAvE. Thank You... Chris ”
“ Honestly such a great place! The owners were so helpful and welcoming. My partner is lactose intolerant and they went above and beyond to help “we can do anything the way you need” Will be going back! Highlight- Shakshouka was one of the, if not the, best I’ve ever had ”
