Dharma Coffee

I had an amazing experience at Dharma Specialty Coffee! I ordered a latte with a pistachio croissant and both were absolutely delicious. My friend got the waffles with ice cream, and the portion was even bigger than we expected. Everything tasted fresh, the presentation was great, and the atmosphere was super cozy. Highly recommend!

Not an ideal experience at Dharma. One of their first images/video on Maps is of pour over coffee, and they list themselves as serving pour over on European Coffee Trip... I arrived and asked if they did pour over and the barista said no. I ordered a Latte instead, and a cinnamon swirl. The latte wasn't 'bad', but it wasn't good either - it wasn't sour or astringent, but it lacked any real flavour and the milk wasn't smooth and silky like the best latte's are. It was just fine. The cinnamon swirl was warmed in a microwave, and tasted good. We did see another customer, who ordered a croissant, ask for a fresh one after taking a bite because "this one is hard and stale". Wouldn't recommend coming here if you want pour over, as they don't serve it!

Another great cafe in Brighton with its own personal twist. Dharma is a great place to work or meet friends, with a friendly and warm atmosphere, where staff seem so relaxed and honest. The food was the highlight of my visit, with a really nice shakshouka, seemingly far more traditional than you get at most brunch places nowadays - cheesy, slightly spiced and all mixed together. It was delicious. The coffee was good too, though maybe fell a little short of my expectations. All in all, Dharma coffee is a unique cafe that is worth a visit if you want a brunch menu that’s a little something different, Turkish inspired, and great service!

Where do I even begin? I hosted my regular group meet-up here last Saturday evening, and it was absolutely delightful! The set price made everything so smooth no fussing over the final bill, just pure enjoyment. The freshly prepared Mediterranean dishes paired with delicious wine were exactly what the doctor ordered. An unforgettable evening with my girls. I’ll definitely be back thank you for a beautiful experience!

Lovely cafe close to the seaside of Brighton! The staff are very friendly and accommodating and the service is very quick. The cafe itself is very clean and well kept. I tried their iced matcha as it was advertised outside on a placard, and it didn’t disappoint!- not too bitter, not too sweet. I also tried the pistachio croissant which tasted very fresh and had a decent amount of filling! Overall great cafe!

Decided to try a different coffee shop to my usual and sadly not a great experience. Croissant was not fresh at all, felt like shop bought not £3 worth at all. Coffee was a bit bitter and atmosphere didn't feel friendly or relaxing. Also, they keep door open but not much heating so I was freezing.

This business is under a new ownership, so don't expect the old Dharma with great specialty coffee and amazing cakes, otherwise you'll be disappointed. This is just another friendly cafe, fairly cheap, with basic coffee and cakes. No speciality coffee like single estate V60. I would prefer Google to reset the reviews when the business is sold, though I'm not sure how when the business name remains the same and some old photos are kept, including on the website. Maybe the ex-owners (I'm told they moved to the US) allowed the new owners to keep the name (for a fee?). This is quite misleading. In the future I'll always check recent reviews to avoid being disappointed.

Just annihilated a pistachio croissant here… Way too yum, crunchiest outside as it could ever be and full of pistachio+chocolate flavour!🤌🏻 and the coffee is good as always👍🏼 the staff are all very friendly👏🏻👏🏻
