We walked by this place and the decor and cake display caught our eye in the early evening light. They were close to closing but they were happy for us to have cake and coffee. I was a lovely quaint setting with efficient service and cracking cake! We had chocolate fudge and devil’s chocolate and they were amazing!

DELIGHTFUL! I came for the scone cream tea and was recommended this place by a hotel down the road. I actually was there in May of 2017. This is a traditional yet classic British tea cafe with lots of lovely pastries and yummy food dishes. You won't know which pastry to choose because there is a good variety. The Mock Turtle is a real Brighton Treasure!
