Jo & Co

Jo & Co is our choice if you're near Hove: a lovely pit stop for some banging food and coffee. Their brunch options are popular with locals, and nestling into its bright, welcoming interior is one of our favourites.

They serve cocktails too, which is always a plus. It's an airy, friendly spot with top-tier coffee and Mediterranean-inspired splashes of flavour. Recommended.

Oeuf

White round table with a range of brunches and cocktails on it.

Oof - Oeuf does a lot of things right. We love this spot for brunch, with the pancakes and french toast rightfully getting a lot of plaudits.

Local coffee, local tea and local food - it's brunch classics served with care and attention. They even have cocktails and wine, if you're feeling up to it!

We recommend this if you're walking along Brighton's seafront and need some refreshment. Dogs are, of course, very welcome.

North Laine Cafe

Eggs benedict on toast garnished with red leaves.

Tucked in North Laine's narrow Victorian streets, North Laine Cafe has been a mainstay in its community for years. Located on Trafalgar Street, it's right near Brighton station, so it's ideal if you want a snack or some coffee after coming into town.

It's a cosy spot, and the sunny terrace is a lovely spot to watch Brighton go by. The extensive menu has the usual cafe fare, with lots of veggie and vegan options.

They love welcoming dogs too, and even offer a water bowl on the house. Woof.

Good coffee, lovely outdoor seating and a lively atmosphere - stop by here if you're near the Brighton seafront.

The tasty bakes, vibrant menu and refreshing espresso are all a bonus, and their al fresco vibe makes it very dog-friendly.
