Black Mocha

The food and hot drinks were incredible. Alas the toasties were sold out (we wanted to try them) but the full breakfast was incredible! And the hot chocolate with the works was amazing, as was the caramel latte. Quite expensive but worth it! Service maybe slightly too laid back, feels a little like the staff are doing you a favour, but they were pleasant.

Really nice spot - great coffee and hot chocolate and great lunch menu too. They have several vegan and gluten free options also. Staff are super friendly and helpful :)

I’m a massive fan of this place, especially on a Tuesday where you can grab brunch and a drink for a tenner - not too shabby! The food here is what really caught my attention, an interesting and diverse menu that has some unique touches and twists away from the overdone avo and egg style brunch. Mine was so tasty and really vibrant and fresh. The drinks are equally as unique, with homemade pumpkin spiced syrup, a chilli hot chocolate which was delicious, and a tasty iced matcha. I worked pretty much all day, and felt well looked after, comfortable and cosy the whole time. The staff are very nice, the prices aren’t extortionate and the place has a relaxed and chill vibe. Maybe a little cramped downstairs, but bright and open upstairs. Fab stuff - see you soon!

Got the seasonal breakfast plate with garlic pesto, asparagus, and parma ham, and it was absolutely delicious. Their black mocha was also great, would definitely recommend

First time coming to black mocha yesterday and it definitely won’t be the last! It was so good! Food was amazing, service was great, atmosphere was perfect and really friendly staff! My friend is celiac and they were able to cater for her without any fuss. We both got the farm breakfast and it was so good! Honestly now one of my favourite breakfast places in Brighton! Coffee was also so good! Would highly recommend!

Delicious brunch, the beans are to die for 👌 Really good reasonably priced v60 coffee too and friendly staff. Good stuff!

Possibly the best breakfast I've ever had. I had the garden breakfast with poached eggs and it was 10/10. Every item was delicious. Felt like a treat but I'd also had my 5 a day before lunch!

This is my favourite coffee shop. The staff are lovely and have a great energy, they clearly enjoy working with people and it seems to be a happy place to work. There is real care given to the food that is produced here and to their speciality hot chocolate. The food is fairly priced for the quality and the toasted sandwiches are exceptionally good. They deserve much more appreciation and I always go out of my way to come here

Heard about the hot chocolate here being amazing, really loved it!! will be back to try the dark and white hot chocolates one day! Suggestions i would request for all cafes is to add a vegan/vegetarian marshmallow option as well as dairy-free whip cream if you're able to supply it! Otherwise a lovely place x

Okay, nothing special, but a nice tea house/coffee shop just down the road from Brighton Station. Sticking with my desire to also check out coffee shops I popped in here for a quick tea. It wasn't one of the best that I have been too, and was pretty small, though it was also fairly quite as well, and he staff were quite nice as well. However, it isn't one of those coffee shops that I would especially rave about, and if I ever end up back in Brighton I would probably find some place else to try out.

Gluten free and dairy free dessert options! Menu: We came for tea and desserts and was pleasantly surprised that they had gluten free options. Service: I was unsure about the ingredients and I was provided with an ingredient list to that I could confirm that there wasn't any sesame seeds. Venue: Excellent location between the beach and the train station. There is seating in front which is great.

Stumbled upon this cute and warm cafe while looking for coffee and a place to rest on a cold day. But of a tight space but makes for a very cozy environment. Great assortment for quick bites to grab and go as well as for yummy dishes to sit down and enjoy. Had a delicious crossaint sandwich and avocado toast with coffee!

Wanted a bit of a treat today and I remembered my friend mentioning they had gluten free savoury muffins, so I decided to pop in. In the end I went for the honeycomb brownie, though, which was as good as it sounds. Even better is the selection of hot chocolate. I am a hot chocolate fiend, and you can choose from dark, milk or white hot chocolate. I decided to try the white because it was a bit different sounding and I was intrigued by the inclusion of nutmeg. Oh. My. Goodness. This is probably my new favourite hot drink. It was very nice. A bit pricey at £3 for a small cup, but will definitely be something I indulge in every so often.

There used to be a place called Choc-Affinity here. Inside not a lot seems to have changed inside, pretty much the same layout and still the selection of amazing-looking cakes on offer. I was tempted by the "soup and toasted sandwich for a fiver deal" (deciding that my microwave dinner for one that I had on standby at home could be saved for another day). The sweet potato soup was a little smaller than I had expected (although it it states clearly on the menu it is a cup of soup that you get), but it was very tasty. The sandwich (I decided not to have it toasted) was brie with spicy-apple chutney. All washed down with a reduced-sugar smoothie.

So, having such a good location, why would you waste it on poor coffe place? Not only was it expensive, the cappuccino was absolutely nothing special and the sort of raspberry cheesecake-like cake I've had was terribly awful, and I would never say no to cake! The place looks really nice, though!

Is it just me that's addicted to their dark hot chocolate - raw, dairy free pure Equadorian bliss. Truly this is better than coffee for a buzz. I swear it actually cured a migraine. I have loved this place from the start (as Chocafinitea) and I hope that my enthusiasm has spread as I tell everyone about it. it's not like any other cafe in brighton. If you like chocolate, I'm afraid there is no other place like it (without going to South America which is, after all, quite far). Try it and join the addicts.
