    Where do I begin! A SOLID 12/9 😂 The staff were wonderfully genuine and kind, the coffee was fruity, rich and delicious and the food was amazing… Hands down the most authentic, fat, crispy but soft croissant I’ve had being vegan five years.. Teamed up with the french toast with maple and bacon, which was huge and every bite was a joy.. Lew had the breakfast muffin.. don’t be fooled by the simple name .. this bad boy was stacked out with sausages, tofu, bacon and brown sauce with freshly baked muffins 🤤 Wouldn’t have ever come across this gem without typing vegan food into google and it was the second option. GO HERE! They also have amazingly beautiful hand painted patches supporting veganism.. And some amazing American style vegan chocolate I’d never usually buy elsewhere because of the price but the people are that lovely it makes it more fun to spend Money places ✨✨✨✨✨ Can’t wait to go back!!

    Food was very good and natural. Made fresh so it took a while to get ready. Service was excellent- very friendly and patient. Hot chocolate was very good as well as the ice latte. We had the french toast, English breakfast and refried dreams. We will definitely come again. Quaint atmosphere inside but we gave a lower score because there was a dog with another customer and my wife is allergic so we could net eat in so took it to go.

    Amazing vegan cafe with breakfast, brunch and lunch options. Katie was really helpful prior to coming as we had 7 people and 3 needed gluten-free options. After an email exchange all was sorted. The food was delicious, kids loved the pancakes !

    Very nice place, good food in an exceptional location. Only negative point… the staff seemed in a bad mood, so no smiles and a bit grumpy attitude.. what a pity 😔

    Without a doubt the best vegan 🌱 food I’ve ever had anywhere. Everything was so fresh and tasty and the care with which it was prepared really showed. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. My partner and I ordered two different meals and shared them between us and I can honestly say I couldn’t choose which was better. This place is a gem and I’d recommend it to anyone.

    Fabulous dining experience! Staff were super friendly and chatty, giving this place a lovely, welcoming atmosphere. The menu was great with some really fantastic options! This is the first vegan place I've been to with a FULL vegan breakfast, black pudding and all! We left feeling very full and very happy! Looking forward to visiting again :D

    This was a great last-minute find for us. I had the gluten free full-english and my friend the regular, both were so tasty and a great portion size. The tofu scramble was amazing, and the coffee was really good too. Great gluten free options and very accommodating! Definitely recommend.

    This little cafe is fantastic. It seems as though the staff have maintained relationships within the community, as people walked in completely at ease and were familiar with the people and food. This does seem like the type of place you'd become a regular at, and if I lived nearby I think I'd be one, too. I had orange/ginger pancakes- probably an acquired taste, but as somebody who likes this combination it was fantastic! The prices are average for the area, which is impressive for an independent cafe. If you're looking for a cozy cafe with fresh, homemade food I'd definitely recommend this location.

    Cute local cafe with delicious vegan food. The cafe was quite busy but the staff were extremely polite and apologetic about the slight wait which always makes up for it. Would go again :)

    We were beside the seaside today, and when you're at this particular seaside, Brighton, there are many vegan eatery options in which you can pay a visit. Green Kitchen is one of many outstanding choices available. We visited for a bank holiday brunch and left highly satisfied. The tofu, sausage and bacon muffin was a breakfast for champs. The Mexican-style hash was exactly the type of thing that's up our alley, with a potato base covered in delicious refried beans, guac and condiments. A sweet stack of chocolatey pancakes and a tall glass of creamy choco milkshake followed the savouries, providing the icing on a scrumptious brunch of a cake. Needless to say, we'd recommend a visit when you're in town

    Very good vegan restaurant. After I discovered it, I only went here for the remaining three weeks. Very good English breakfast, fantastic burgers and delicious sweets. Everything organic and seasonal and local. A warm welcome and friendly service. 👍👍👍

  • 5/5 Steven F. 1 year ago on Google
    Brilliant vegan cafe, me and my partner were visiting Brighton and ate brunch here both days, the breakfast muffins and refried dreams were amazing, coffee was excellent as were the ice cream sundaes and banana splits, can't recommend highly enough. Can't wait to visit again. Very friendly staff and lovely atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Ben T. 8 months ago on Google
    I went to Green Kitchen with five friends and had a wonderful brunch there. Cody who greeted us really put himself out in every way possible to provide us with excellent service, even down to grouping our individual items on the bill to make paying individually easier. The food delicious, and reflected the commitment of the establishment to offering a varied and a creative vegan menu. The quality of the food and drink (I had a freshly made carrot, apple and ginger juice with my lovely big breakfast muffin) is fabulous. Everybody should go here. I am not a vegan but love trying new food and good food. A true find. Go there if you too love great food and service.

    By far my favourite restaurant when I visited Brighton, I've never had a tastier breakfast. The espresso was delicious too! The service was very friendly.

  • 5/5 Heather W. 6 months ago on Google
    Lovely small cafe with friendly, helpful staff and wonderful and plentiful food. Great for gluten free options. Had a tasty Sunday lunch with a wide range of veggies including roast potatoes, parsnips, red cabbage and cauliflower cheese. The yorkshires with gravy were really good too. Reasonable prices. Very highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Ilke K. 9 months ago on Google
    Great breakfasts, good prices. I always bring my friends here since there’s so many options for food and you can pick what size English breakfast you want. Will definitely be back to try other dishes.

  • 4/5 Sakh F. 9 months ago on Google
    This was a really good vegan breakfast! The vegan bacon was delicious, usually vegan bacon is like cardboard but this was soft and tasted great! Vegan black pudding was a first for me, strange thing to want as a vegan but it did taste good. Green kitchen is a cute little place and the rest of the menu looked really good as well, I would definitely go again and try something for lunch. The only minor negative was that the avocado I asked for with my breakfast came as guacamole which I do love but not with breakfast, just wanted some sliced avocado.

    The breakfast muffin and English breakfast were so delicious!!! The portion size is perfect, and the dish has the perfect combination of filling and fresh ingredients :) Absolutely wonderful place, will be back! ❤️❤️❤️

  • 5/5 Alex B. 1 year ago on Google
    If I could rate this place more than five stars I absolutely would. Delicious food, I had the Big Breakfast Muffin and felt full and happy all day! My partner and I have some food allergies and the amazing lovely chef made us feel very safe and comfortable. Would recommend to anyone.

  • 5/5 Fauve V. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a wonderful place! I had a lovely vegan Sunday roast and absolutely enjoyed it. The place was so nice and calm (as in: great for people who easily experience sensory overload). Really felt comfortable at this place and would definitely recommend it!

  • 5/5 Ady B. 1 year ago on Google
    Came here last week and had the breakfast which was lovely and highly recommended. However today I had the Refried Dreams and it was out of this world! It's a lovely little place with very friendly staff and exceptionally high quality food and coffee.

  • 5/5 Kimberley S. 2 years ago on Google
    A gem of a place! We ate so well here, which is no easy task as my husband has a super long allergy list! We went for brunch, and were bowled over by the amount of choice - including amazing gluten free options too. I love the work they do to support The Retreat animal sanctuary, including donating money from sales of their own bacon and steak that they make. We will definitely be back next time we are in Brighton! :-)

  • 5/5 Kelly S. 1 year ago on Google
    My sons took me for a meal here yesterday, been a vegan most of my life, but never eaten at a vegan cafe. This place was amazing!! The food was spot on, the owners so very friendly. Would definitely recommend it to anyone. Thanks for the advise on butter by the way 😀. Kells

  • 5/5 Holly C. 1 year ago on Google
    Cute vegan cafe in Brighton - great for a hangover breakfast/brunch with great tea selection and yummy food. The staff were really friendly and attentive even as it filled up for lunch time. Reasonably priced too :)

  • 5/5 Tom C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food and friendly service. Make their own vegan bacon which is great and you can buy it to cook yourself too. Quite small cafe so call and book to make sure you get a table.

  • 5/5 benjamin w. 1 year ago on Google
    The Best vegan breakfast in Brighton. They make they’re own plant bacon which tastes amazing. Would absolutely recommend eating here, can’t wait to come back and try some of the other menu items. Staff were super friendly and the food was faultless.

  • 5/5 Heidi S. 2 years ago on Google
    First time visit, on entering could see a few tables were reserved so sat in the window. Friendly waitress soon came over and took our order, seemed like a wait for food to arrive but the wait was justified as could see food was freshly cooked and was lovely and hot. Personal taste I prefer tofu with less turmeric still really nice though, I would go as far to say best breakfast I've had out. Lovely little cafe too, quirky and cute.

  • 5/5 Jan Home Sweet Home E. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely Amazing Breakfast. Hot and delicious. I had Gluten Free Vegan. The staff are super friendly. We are so glad we found this Cafe and will definitely recommend. We'll be back. Thanks Guys :-) You've set the bar very high.

  • 5/5 Shirley L. 2 years ago on Google
    1000/10 - So delicious! We only come down to Brighton when the Green Kitchen Cafe is open, as our trip isn’t completed without a taste of their Pecan and Cream Cheese French toast. It was so good, out of this world. You wouldn’t know it was plant based, portion sizes were generous, a cosy atmosphere and the service is on point. They also have a wide variety of sweet and savoury brunch options and great juices too. Even better that this cafe is queer owned and so friendly. You should definitely visit, you won’t regret it!!🤩

  • 3/5 Ellie B. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a cute cafe but the service isn’t great - the staff don’t seem to know what’s going on. First we were given someone else’s food, then our food was given to another table, when we got it sadly it wasn’t amazing. Fresh juice was good! It’s great there’s somewhere to get a vegan fry up but the bread and sausages were pretty bad so I wouldn’t come here again.

  • 5/5 chihiro36x 2 years ago on Google
    Massive portions of delicious food for a good price. Cannot recommend enough! :)

  • 5/5 James W. 2 years ago on Google
    So much choice, I wished I could eat it all. Will definitely return, lovely staff, dog-friendly.

  • 5/5 Paola S. 2 years ago on Google
    You know that feeling when you read about some place and then you even imagine how could it be getting into it and being there with all those feeling about feeling nice and well as you read through?! ... Well, what happened for me with the Green Kitchen Vegan Café was exactly like this: an absolute nice and lovely starting of the day with such a tasty, proper delicious vegan breakfast full of such good food all handmade from the lovely ladies running the place! Spot on the Smoothie bowl, the rashier tomato sandwich and those pancakes....humm, strawberries and choco chunks you could die for!!! Loved every step from Marina till Preston Road to get to discover this enchanting little tasty café in Brighton!!! Thanks for the amazing kicking start you gave me, loved that!

    Breakfast is the best meal of the day, and these guys do it really well. Plus, staff are always lovely. I spilled my coffee all over me and they replaced it out of kindness (or maybe pity...)
