Full of flavor

Great food with plenty of options—vegan, savory, and sweet. We tried two sourdough toasts: one topped with avocado and tomato, the other with avocado and scrambled tofu, the latter being my favorite. It was a pleasant surprise to find food that felt lighter and not overly unhealthy, yet still packed with flavor—something I’ve been missing a bit during my stay in England.

We also had two decent coffees and shared a slice of vegan lemon cake. Including tip, the total came to around £36, which felt more than fair.

The café itself is super cozy, spread across multiple floors with both indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside in a nicely shaded spot—perfect. The staff were friendly, too.

Highly recommend this place if you’re after something a bit lighter but still satisfying and well-seasoned.

Delicious vegan breakfast

The Rustic Vegan breakfast here is delicious and exceptionally flavorful. Their fresh-squeezed orange juice is also really good. The tofu scramble was also very good but if/when I go again, I wouldn't be able to resist getting the Rustic Vegan again.

Highly recommended!

When visiting Brighton for a weekend I stumbled upon this place close to where I lived. I had my breakfast here two days in a row, first the Rustic Vegan and then the scrambled tofu on toast. They were both absolutely delicious and the staff was lovely! A must when I return to Brighton in the future! A 5-star review for the vegan options!

Pros: Many vegan options , Friendly staff , Cosy

Cons: Small

Delicious vegan breakfast

I had the vegan breakfast which included sweet potato, mushroom, tofu, avo, spinach, tomato, and usually comes with toast but I declined that. The soya cappuccino was good. Love that they put tofu on the breakfast, that’s rare. It was lovely and crispy too.

Pros: Nice decor , Good WiFi, Friendly staff

Cons: Not fully vegan (obvs)
