Caccia & Tails

With spring just around the corner and family walks on the agenda, I’m always on the lookout for a great pit stop that serves quality coffee and delicious food and @cacciaandtails on Preston Road turned out to be just that—a perfect spot on the way to Preston Park

We stopped by with the kids and enjoyed some incredible focaccia sandwiches, homemade sweet treats, and—much to our delight—fantastic cocktails. Though the Brighton location is one of their smaller sites, it’s packed with character and charm, reflecting the owner’s Italian heritage

The food was outstanding. We tried the warm Confit Herb Chicken Focaccia with roasted peppers, onions, Nduja mayo, and watercress—an absolute winner. We also snacked on iconic Italian ‘Fonzies’ crisps and some truly exceptional doughnuts. The coffee was top-notch, with beans sourced from @backyard.coffee and we followed it up with an Aperol Spritz and a Lychee Martini, both expertly made

Despite its size, this location hosts DJ nights—including one this weekend—where they open the doors to the street, creating a relaxed, sociable atmosphere perfect for summer evenings. If you’re in the area, Caccia & Tails is definitely worth a visit. This lovely independent, family-run business offers fantastic coffee, delicious Italian bites, and mouthwatering baked goods—not to mention excellent cocktails. Thanks for having us—we’ll be back soon for more of your amazing food and drinks before heading to the park!

I was invited to try this one. As always, all opinions are my own.
