Down to Earth Coffee in Brighton and Hove

Lovely coffee place with great quality beans and a proper barista. They serve some brunch menu as well but they stop serving food around 4 pm, so if you want to grab a bite you better be early.

Moved to Hove recently and the only place I needed to find was the perfect cafe.Found it today so very happy.Lovely staff, lovely food and the coconut cake I took home, was delicious.Oh yes, sausage rolls to die for. 😊

I've only tried the coffee, but the staff were great.Treated myself to an espresso and filter all at reasonable prices, with such good service and conversation from the ladies there, it really made the place great. Would definitely return when in the area.

Coffee is good – but there is some false advertising going on with the food here.. I ordered an avocado brunch that included delicious-sounding 'truffled feta' but there was no discernible feta or truffle. My friend had 'truffled mushrooms' - just mushrooms, basically. Only one slice of toast, so a bit stingy for £9. You're better off going to the amazing Cafe Salvage a couple of minutes away, where you get piles of hot buttery toast and everything tastes amazing.

The coffee was amazing here, and the barista was so sweet. I love that everything is meant to be so sustainable and eco friendly.

Very tasty veggie breakfast altho probably slightly more expensive than elsewhere. Coffee was nice too. However don't sit down too fast. The seats are harder than they appear and I nearly fell over when I tried to sit on the broken toilet seat.... limited seating and not much ventilation so felt abit stuffy Overall average cafe.

Working locally today - weren’t open earlier (830 doors open staff there not serving) and coffee at Flour Pot around corner was excellent. Actually came back for brunch . You’ll see all looks fine..black coffee however very bitter and sour - you can tell a good coffee and barista for that matter when taking coffee black -nothing to disguise the real taste - so here , it’s either over ground, too hot or just poor quality beans Breakfast was - cheap sausage no butter on the toast and bland sugary sauce - cash and carry no doubt (in my opinion/guessing) good food deserves good condiments- HP and Heinz, Tiptree or Stokes. If anything it would make a mediocre meal better . Toms were tasteless, mushrooms oily, bacon cooked to a crisp and streaky too quite fatty, beans in a watery sweet sauce with no flavour , eggs just a bit odd possibly not that fresh as hard/ soft when poached, pea shoot pointless - pity had high expectations as reviews glowing!☹️

Located along the street, it was hard not to stop by and check the flavors of their freshly baked donuts. Nice ambiance very green earthy and peaceful. What goes well with donuts? They have a variety of of beverages you would find to suit your taste or cravings 😊 they have to go boxes if you wanna bring home some donuts for your loved ones.The donuts were lovely. I enjoyed raspberry the most - tarr and sweet.Then id rank lemon and poppy second as im into the tang it gives me when I take a bite of it then the sweetness lingers.Third the cinnamon bun. Not overly cinnamon-y... just the right balance of sweet and i can feel the warmth the cinnamon gives me.Fourth is the biscoff donut. I thought it would be very sweet but its not. 😊The donuts were all fluffy and the the texture was great. It wasnt mass produced. Each donut made with love and kneaded to perfection.

A great place for brunch or coffee - sat outside looking at the square, which was lovely and relaxed. Coffee was good, as was the food. Did not have the chance to have them, but they had an extensive selection of vegan doughnuts which looked delicious.

Popped in after I saw the vegan doughnuts in the window. I'd just been to the dentist, so getting a sweet treat after your scale and polish is the thing to do, right‽ At £2.50 each, I thought they were very competitively priced, especially compared to lesser quality and more famous local doughnuts. I had a Cherry Bakewell, and grabbed a salted caramel for my daughter. They were delicious. Absolutely spot on with that combo of crispy outside and squidgy pillowy middle. My kid definitely tasted the salted caramel, and practically hoovered her's up. My cherry doughnut had a very generous jammy filling and loads of flaked almonds on top. Yummy! To top it all off, my server was polite, friendly and speedy.It's a good job I didn't need any fillings, because I'm likely to stop off again, after my next walk back from the dentist....
