Brass Monkey Ice Cream

The shop isn’t large, but its bright and unique colors make it easy to spot. The gelato menu isn’t extensive, yet the flavors are wonderfully creative: saffron & rose, cardamom, masala chai, ginger, alongside classics like vanilla, chocolate, and salted caramel. You can sample before deciding which is great. The gelato is smooth with just the right sweetness, never heavy, and the waffle cone is crisp and fragrant. Perfect as a dessert after a meal or to enjoy while walking along the beach. A delightful stop.

The best ice cream I have had in my life. Don’t be fooled when people rave about places because of crazy toppings and massive scoops, because this place is GENUINELY good, not just trendy. The gelato is thick and creamy but not heavy, so smooth and refreshing. The scoops are so generous, but most importantly the flavours are insane. You’re not going to find many of your normal go-to options here, think wild - think hay, matcha, bay leaf, sherry. Brass Monkey is truly an experience and it does everything so well. Even the cake there is great. It’s open late which is fab for a sweet treat later on at night, and I cannot rave about this place enough s

The ginger ice cream was absolutely amazing. So refreshing. The honey one was a bit too sweet for my liking. The portion of carrot cake was huge and the cake itself was very moist

A little in the pricey side but it was very good quality ice cream, the server was so lovely and friendly too! Definitely recommend this place to go for a nice treat :-)

Convenient spot for some after dinner treats in town. Definitely some of the best ice cream I have had, on the pricer side but you get what you pay for. Very friendly service too.

I'm not joking here when I say this is the best ice cream place in Brighton...I've been coming here nearly every Saturday for the last few months and just can't get enough of the unique flavours! Staff are great also! 👏 Favourite flavour is Tea & Biscuits, like wow! So good! 😍

It’s kinda hip vibe place which is unusual around. As a lover of ice cream, I always prefer classic one and I choose the ‘honey pokey’ which is vanilla and honey comb flavor and ‘pedro ximenez’ which is recommended by a staff. It was gorgeous combination which is never fed up with. It’s not only very classic but also boozy. Highly recommend to adults who cannot escape from childhood nostalgia yet but want to be not childish.
