Bread & Milk in Brighton and Hove

Halloumi sandwich gave my girlfriend food poisoning. Before anyone says it could’ve been something else it wasn’t, it was the only thing she ate the whole day apart from some plain toast later on because obviously she’d been throwing up for six hours. Went in around four and got her sandwich to take away, got home and even though it wasn’t warm anymore i told her to just eat it cold as to not risk reheating it too many times. 3 hours later she was throwing up. Don’t go here.

Great coffee and banana and dark chocolate cake. Dog friendly

My go to fave place for a coffee

Break and Milk in Brighton is an absolute gem, especially for anyone passing through or near the station. Just a short walk away, this cozy coffee shop quickly became a favorite of mine. The atmosphere is welcoming, with a warm, relaxed vibe that makes it perfect for anything from a quick coffee run to a leisurely afternoon. Their coffee is exceptional, crafted with care and high-quality beans that you can taste in every sip. I tried a flat white, which was smooth and perfectly balanced – you can tell they really know their coffee here. Their menu also has a great selection of pastries and snacks, each beautifully presented and delicious, making it hard to pick just one! The staff were friendly and enthusiastic, clearly passionate about what they do and happy to chat about their favorite menu items. Even during busier hours, the service was prompt and the team seemed genuinely engaged with customers, which added to the positive experience. For anyone near the station looking for a spot that offers both convenience and quality, Break and Milk is a must-visit. It’s the kind of place you’ll find yourself returning to again and again. I know I definitely will!

Very friendly & delicious breakfast

Great selections of pastries and toasties. I bought a chicken caesar sandwich to go for hiking, it was delicious and filling. However, the coffee was watery. Maybe it would be different if was in a dine-in cup.

Gran lugar para un café cerca de la estación. Rollo de croissant de almendra y salchicha de tocino muy delicioso. Mesas por dentro y por fuera. Recomendaría

A great sandwich, possibly the nicest I've had in a long time. Order at the counter, but friendly servers and a relaxed atmosphere

I was on a business trip in Brighton and this was my go to cafe in Brighton every single day ever since I discovered it . It has a great atmosphere, lovely staff members who are pleasant and fast. everything looked clean and up to par, tasty coffee. If I lived in Brighton I’d continue to go there daily

Popped in for a flat white. It tasted okay but the texture was very poor, watery rather than creamy.

Hands down one of the best carot cakes I’ve ever eaten. Little lovely coffee store.

Best coffee shop. Being from Australia, I'm particular with my coffee, and this place absolutely nails it. Breakfast sandwich was great, too. Staff is always lovely and never too long of a wait to be served and to receive your drinks. Even though it's in a busy part of town, I always manage to get a seat, and it gets a lot of lovely sun outside. Don't skip this place.

Come here often, the best sandwiches and best toasties in Brighton and super friendly and great service

Good food and excellent coffee. Had a vegan sausage sandwich which was delicious. Friendly staff. Overall a good choice for breakfast before a busy day browsing the Laines!

Best coffee in Brighton? Definitely very good

El personal es amable, el servicio era eficiente y a pesar de su ubicación e independencia, era muy razonable - precio (pagué £ 4. 30 para un latte helado con jarabe). Sin duda recomendaría Pan & Leche : )

The staff at Bread & Milk are incredibly friendly, the service was efficient, and despite its location and independence is very reasonably-priced (I paid £4.30 for an iced latte including a caramel syrup). I would definitely recommend this coffee shop :)

Absolutely disgusting sandwich which had to be thrown away

Popped by this morning for the first time, had a latte & a hazelnut croissant. The croissant was really good, the coffee was wonderful (not bitter at all), the staff were friendly and I enjoyed my time. The cafe was very naturally bright, being in a sunny spot, which really stood out to me and added a lot to the atmosphere. I will be recommending this spot to my friends 💛

Our 2nd visit to the Bread & Milk and it didn't disappoint on either visit. The sandwiches are delicious and generous. Coffee is excellent and cakes look yummy but we resisted the urge. The staff are friendly and helpful, with a nice atmosphere, just a short walk from the main throng of the North Lanes. Worth a try if you're nearby.

Incredible customer service, really helped during Brighton Marathon. Big thank you to the amazing staff.

Very expensive. But tasty. Got a Matcha Latte and bacon and tomato sandwich. Outside lovely but it a busy walking path.

Coffee was subpar. Carrot cake was dry and extremely sweet.

This place was spot on! It’s light, vibrant, lively and so tasty. The array of sandwiches is top notch, especially the pesto, pastrami and mozzarella, chefs kiss, and the pastries. The drinks selection covers all the basics with few creative juices as well. For a bite out in the sun on the cute tables out the front, a quick coffee or bite to eat as you walk the lanes, this is the place I’ll be heading back to. The service was cracking as well, Very friendly and efficient :)

Such a great local spot.. perfect for some great coffee, friendly service, delicious food and often a good little sun trap

Popped in for lunch. Had the most delicious toasted ciabatta and tea with fresh leaves. Really chilled vibe, friendly staff and good value for the amazing quality. Will be back!

I have popped in here a few times now for a coffee and cake. The staff are always welcoming and friendly. Do try the banana and chocolate bread. My wife prefers it heated up by I find it nicer cold. The only slight drawback is the proximity of the toilet to the cooking area.

Excellent, excellent coffee. Bakery goods also looked tastey but didn’t have time. Put this on your list.

Loved this place. Great coffee and a delicious sourdough sandwich - great value....chilled atmosphere...Highly recommend...

Decent coffee, nice pastries and friendly staff. Not the cheapest but ok prices.

Amazing and beautifully made sourdough baps, rolls and sandwiches! We spent a couple of days in Brighton and came across Bread and Milk accidentally so we went back the next day too.....we're planning on working our way through the entire selection as we come to Brighton regularly. The only downside is the inside sitting space which is tiny....we had to do a bit of strolling and return to get a seat indoors as it was freezing outside so too cold to take advantage of their outside tables, however it was worth it. The fillings are so generous, the sauces are so tasty and the prices are so reasonable it's worth the wait.... the drinks are great too, staff are friendly and there's a toilet for patrons!

I love the coffee of this place and I love the kindness of the staff. Their sandwiches are always special and it has been my favorite place for more than a year. 💗💗💗💗💗💗

We ordered iced oat latte and normal latte. Coffee was good! Food was delicious! Location is great. Lovely interior design. Staff were friendly!

Second time I’ve come in at 7:30am when they open, I notice the croissants are always stale..? You’d think being there first thing in the morning they would be fresh out the oven but they’re definitely from yesterdays batch. First time I assumed it was a mistake but second time it’s clearly just their practice to charge you 7£ for a coffee and a stale croissant. Kinda scandalous if you ask me.

Good coffee and food, been here a few times as it's close to a parking spot and wasn't disappointed. Friendly staff (weren't upset with me when I thought they opened earlier) and decently priced so might drop by again next time.

Lovely atmosphere, good coffee and cake, would have been 5 stars but the service was a little slow and an item was forgotten.

So friendly and polite and welcoming, relaxed atmosphere and the food and drinks are so good, the salted caramel brownie is delicious.

Excellent staff , Australian standard coffee ,my Go to Brighton cafe almost everyday Highly recommended

Rolig og hyggelig omgivelser, men med livlige gater rett på utsiden. Med kaffe og kake på fortaus bordet kunne vi hvile bena en stund

I visited here 3 times whilst in town and really enjoyed the three coffees I had. Lovely staff. Food looked great but didn’t try it. Nice place to sit alone and people watch.

Excellent coffee, tasty snacks, and friendly staff. All you want from a corner cafe. Only regret is I didn’t discover it earlier in my stay in Brighton 🤓

Highly recommend this cafe if you visit Brighton. My partner and I went for breakfast and fell in love with their breakfast bap. The bread is crispy but soft at the same time, inside there were sausages, bacon, salad leaves and tomato. We chose to add eggs inside and this choice just made the bap more delicious. We also ordered blueberry bakewell, cinnamon bun, Nutella croissant, carrot cake for take away. They were all tasty. We will definitely visit again when we go to Brighton.

Excellent service, 10/10 food, reasonably priced, and great atmosphere. Cafe furniture was very comfortable, modern, and stylish. Would highly recommend. 10/10 for the name, too 😎

Sandwiches were pretty good tried halloumi. I asked for a long black it wasn’t what I expected. Overall a good place for a quick bite. Outside sitting area a bit small but nice.

Best cafe in Brighton 😍. Highly recommend 👍🏻

Always loved the quirky tea brewing pots, but also love the Oat Flat white and sandwiches are very tasty too...

Food and drinks are absolutely Delicious !

Absolutely disgusting! I have been having nausea ever since I ate a tuna-cheese sandwich. It was supposed to be tuna mayo and I realized it was melted cheese. This combination is absolutely rediculous since it can actually cause stomach sickness! Atrocity!

Great cafe, great cakes, great staff. Ticks all the important boxes. Recommendations would be the chocolate brownie type cake, sugaryest thing I've ever tasted 10/10.

Delicious mozzarella toasty and cappuccino.

So incredibly good I felt inclined to review and say thanks. Delicious coffee, delicious sandwich. Will be back!

Service was terrible today, as always, on a Saturday morning the place was very busy. Yet one of the four staff member occupied a table space for her break, and customers had now where to eat/drink. They’ve got these fancy Tea pots which staff don’t understand. Two much tea was used and it was over filled and so when it drains into the cup, it caused a flood. No apologies, implications were it was our fault. Tea ended up being over brewed as well. Get a grip people! Grilled cheeses here are ace. Hence two stars.

Excellent place with great food, friendly staff

Best coffee I’ve had in ages - oat milk cappuccino. Plus really nice sandwich. Dog friendly too 🐶♥️

Cute coffee place, not lots of place to seat inside but the place is cute. The carrot cake and chai latte are delicious and the staff members te friendly

Enjoy coming here for a coffee and Nutella croissant! Friendly staff, fast service and nice to sit down and look out the onto the edge of the North laines.

One of the best coffees I've had in Brighton, the cappuccino had the perfect amount of froth. Very limited indoor seating but a nice modern and light interior.

Fab food and lovely, friendly people.

I used to come here pre covid19. Staff were so polite and kind. Now, they’re so rude and argumentative, and not willing to make for you what you want. Very disappointed with this attitude.

It’s a nice breakfast place. The food was good and ambience is very nice.

Went to this lovely cafe to get a few hours of work done. Great free wifi! The staff were really sweet, and the chai latte I had was one of the best I’ve had! A pot of tea was around £2.50 which is a lot cheaper than other places. The chai latte was a standard £3.00 or so. Definitely will be coming back, great cafe to sit outside and people watch or get some work done.

Friendly. Very large toasties. Had the reuben- only complaint was there was only a single slice of pastrami which couldn't cover all the sandwich. Sausages were also very coarse.

Best breakfast bap I've had in a while! :) And they open at 7:30 so you can actually have breakfast before everything opens up and gets busy. The coffee is very good but a bit on the small side for my liking.

Great coffee and very nice sandwiches!

Great little coffee shop with a good selection of food. Would definitely recommend and will stop busy in the future

The cinnamon buns are worth a postcard home. Absolutely lovely.

If you’re looking to grab a quick bite to eat and want something that’s tasty, freshly made and filling, Bread and Milk is the place to go. They make fresh sandwiches and toasties that are satisfying and a great bite to eat. They do a really nice iced coffee too. They were doing a fancy Nutella filled croissant when I last visited which was filled with the perfect amount of Nutella among the many layers of pastry! It was… incredibly delicious!

Lovely staff, great drinks and coffe and nice location. Always pleasure to be back :)

Good coffee and friendly staff. Thx!

My son, the carnivore, and myself, eating healthy, we're more than satisfied (as ever) with both food and drink...and service is great too...see you in August

Excellent food, I had the toasted focaccia with prosciutto. Welcoming and caring crew took care of our dog as well with water and some treats ❤️

Very considerate staff, excellent service.

THE ABSOLUTELY BEST COFFEE IN BRIGHTON. Their cappuccino’s froth is the same you get in Italy, their shop is lovely and chill and the staff js super friendly!! The quality for the price is really good too. N’1 coffee recommendation in Brighton for sure - also their almond croissant is to die for.

Just lovely environment and coffee with staff who go the extra mile.

Best coffee and staff in town ❤️ can not recommend enough!

I've eaten here three times and will be back again for sure. I usually have the breakfast option

Great place - breakfast and lunch menu is superb and the lunchtime melts are especially recommended. The staff are friendly and helpful and there is a good mix of inside and outside seating. Well worth a visit.

Came here on Sunday and had a really nice vegan sausage toasted sandwich. The smoothie I had was lovely, however it was very overpriced. Either way, I enjoyed my food and drink, and would definitely recommend.

Super friendly staff and delicious sandwiches!

Lovely selection of food and drinks

Great gourmet food, good service, although the place gets very busy and can't fit a lot of customers. Have to book in advance to get a table otherwise it's very hard to get one.

As with other reviews, laid back and chilled vibe. Great tasting food and exceptional drinks, all amazing quality! Friendly staff and clean and tidy premises/toilet. A bit on the pricey side but worth it for the experience and taste! 🌟

We've loved your Sandwiches, vegan sausage roll and hot coffee on a rainy day 🥯🥐☕️🫖🥪

Lovely coffee and great location to unwind and people watch. Lots of nice savoury and sweet options that looked really tempting (didn’t buy food)

Quickly has become my fav cafe in Brighton - with a French twist.

We sat outside in the sunshine and ate fantastic sandwiches. I think they were called 'Reuben' good value for money.

I could go any day for the carrot cake. It has friendly staff and it's clean. ❣️

Nice little cafe that's been its current location for a number of years. Great sandwiches.

Delicious vegetarian toastie and chai latte

One of the best coffee shops in Brighton, the food is delicious especially the Danish 😍, friendly stuff, and great atmosphere.

I’ll start by saying this is the best coffee shop in Brighton. Incredible coffee. Friendly staff and great selection of foods. Atmosphere is perfection. After the Xmas break I returned for a takeaway morning coffee and breakfast bap to-go (worth almost £9 for the quality) But for the first time the food was terrible. I think the far left grill wasn’t working correctly. When I took a bite… half warm, half was stone cold. The tomato made everything soggy and mushy. All the meats were different temps. Had to throw it away. They were closed when I went back in the afternoon to tell them unfortunately. I’m 99% sure it was just a one off. I’ll Just double check the temp of the food before i leave the cafe in future. I would recommend. All drinks. Most of the food. Go try for yourself. Mistakes happen. When the venue is this good then I’ll continue my business with them. 5 stars ( well. Maybe 4.5 out of 5)

Our fave place in Brighton for breakfast and coffee. We have had the much carbier options and when we are healthy we had the yoghurt Granola bowl. Staff lovely and friendly. Food menu concise and tasty, lovely atmosphere on the corner with a nice bit of sun when the weather's nice. Watch our for seagulls though they can be cheeky but just increases the experience if you ask me. Fab times!!

Always delicious coffee , they have a good selection of food and are dog and vegan friendly

We liked it here, it felt cosy and friendly and yet quite modern and stylish - not the usual and overdoen rustic decor - it made a fresh change. Also locals were wandering in chatting to the staff which made for a nice atmosphere. Especially good was that they had vegan croissants, cakes and sausage rolls and nice coffee.

Nice cafe with pleasant atmosphere! Staff very friendly and fast, flexible & family friendly. Good background music!

Catching up for a coffee with a friend? This is the place. Wouldn't recommend for parties over 4 people as the tables are made for small and intimate sits. Well lit and airy despite its small square footage. Seating available outside but mind the gulls, they know the sarnies served here is 🔥. Perfect spot for a light Sunday brunch.

Delicious coffee and perfect croque monsieur

Lovely staff and delicious almond croissant

Very nice little place, with good coffee and GREAT almond croissant. Was able to sit here and read for a while on Saturday morning.

The tastiest toasted bap ever! I had the halloumi with chilli jam and it was incredible. My friend lived the vegan falafel toastie too.
