Starfish & Coffee

Had a fantastic brunch at @starfishandcafe recently and completely deserving of ‘Best Cafe in Brighton’ in the @brightonrestaurantawards this year!

I haven’t been in a while and I was kindly invited down by the lovely owner, Tony, to check out the menu and see what had changed. The staff are so welcoming to their relaxed environment and talk you through their menu including their filter guest coffee beans which I had and was so impressed I actually bought some of the beans @skylark.coffee and ordered a grinder and V60 for home… bit extreme you might say, but it was seriously good coffee and I have loved drinking it at home, thanks Tony for the hook up on where to buy everything from 👌🏼

Although this place is well known for their fantastic pancakes, I was told that they had recently changed their Avo Smash dish and it was their best yet so I had to give it a try and we also got the traditional breakfast which was anything but traditional as it came out presented so beautifully and tasted fantastic! The Avo Smash was also one of the best I have had, with With Seasonal Greens, Kalamata Olives, Sundried Tomatoes, Pesto & Seeds on @theflourpotbakerybrighton Sourdough Toast, it really was such a treat and although I desperately wanted to pancakes, this was a really special dish.

Although we didn’t get the pancakes, we were kindly gifted one of their Pancake mixes to take home and try ourselves, which was so kind. Clearly going to be no where near as good as theirs but in looking forward to giving them a try

Overall I really like it here, I can see why they have done so well over the years, the atmosphere, the warm staff and fantastic detail to their food and drink is unquestionable. I will definitely be heading back soon to enjoy more of their menu. Thank you again to the team for our visit, really enjoyable!

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