Black Mocha not only has some of the best baristas in Brighton making exceptional coffees, the cuisine is consistently top-notch, and certainly in the top 3 best vegan/vegetarian brunches in town. They've been our favourite spot for five years and they never disappoint.

Excellent gluten free options - all the brunch options could be gluten free. Good vegan options too. I had the House brunch meat version as GF, and my wife had the sausage sandwich and a slice of (GF) carrot cake. Delicious!

We had never been to Black Mocha before and were completely blown away by how good the food was, the menu, the value for money but also the customer service was just outstanding! The staff went out of their way to make it a really good visit. The vegan avo chocolate and orange tart was out of this world. Fantastic tea and coffee, beautiful food and the friendly staff made it a really wonderful place to be. Thank you so much!

Very catering to dairy free and gluten free. I had poached eggs, salmon and avacado on GF toast with a oat milk iced latte and my mum and sister both had sausage sandwiches with a bit Al iced latte and a tea. All food & drink was spot on and the workers were so friendly and made you feel so welcomed. Best breakfast we had whilst we were there
