This is my first choice of cafe in Brighton: the range of food is fantastic, with lots of different dietary requirements catered for without fuss or a huge price tag. The atmosphere is very welcoming, with artwork on the walls, and a friendly buzz: from Brighthelm users and passersby alike. The staff are helpful and the experience is always great.

Brighthelm community centre in the heartof brighton is both relaxing and stimulating with friendly service and where all age groups are welcome, The food is freshly cooked and the café provides a standard everyday menu as well as specials . The highlight of 2016 was the Mayors Christmas party where the whole space was opened up and the stage provided a brilliant back drop. This comfortable but versatile centre is my favourite for a drop in and a chat.

Lovely tasty food made on the premises and at a very reasonable price, I eat here regularly. After a make over last year the cafe is now beautifully colourful and fun and caters for a wide range of people using the building - meeting friends, going to talks, groups or conferences. It works for everyone. A lovely mix of traditional tables and sofas to suit everyone. Polite and helpful service and not too big or noisy. What's not to like? There's even a Fairtrade stall open on Thursday afternoons with a great range of food and handmade gifts.

A friendly cafe to drop into for a cosy coffee, a superb breakfast or a delicious lunch. I''m never disappointed by the quality or the price. I use it as a meeting venue too. My 'go to' place.

I really enjoy eating at Brighthelm. I find the service good and the staff so polite and they are really trying hard to have a choice for vegetarians.

What a lovely place! And accessible as the doors open to welcome you in with the push of a button. The layout is open and spacious with whatever light that the Brighton weather chooses to bless us with. Today, not a lot and it still looks bright given the huge windows and skylights. The tables are all wood with lovely dining room chairs of various a styles as well as sofas to sink into and read a book. The large tall plants add the natural green that I find so welcoming after working in an office and walking on city streets. All in all, a dignified yet funky decor.
I lived in Rome for a long time and I can honestly say they pass the cappuccino test! There’s even chocolate dust on top.
The only reason I might not come here would be because there are not a great number of outlets for me to plug in. But if you are like normal people who come to a cafe to eat and not to write/work on your computer (!), then you should check this place out. Lovely atmosphere.

Very nice atmosphere, big cafe, bright and cosy, near the station. The staff were very kind and helpful. Very, very good lemon tarte and one of the best coffees I have had in Brighton, made by Lorena. Best in Brighton!

I am a regular at this excellent 'organic' Café at the Brighthelm Church. The handcut chips are the best in town at only £2! All dishes are creative with an inventive Middle Eastern flavour! Friendly staff and good service. Highly recommended.

Every Tuesday there seems to be an issue with the kitchen. They need to stock vegetarian food for these occasions. Also people who are celiac and diabetic. If a customer is being faithful to the cafe, they should try to please if possible.

Spacious, light cafe with lots of room. Lovely place to spend a relaxed lunch time reading the paper. Food is all fresh and surprisingly classy for a community cafe. Plus lovely service :-)

Very pleasant light and airy cafe. Friendly service. Our lunch was delicious and reasonably priced. Only one small point, they could do with a few more food menus (only one in circulation) or a notice board. Otherwise, we'll definitely return !

Great community cafe, love coming here to escape city life :-). Great customer service, value for money and product range! Wish you guys had more options for special diets though. Otherwise, my favourite Brighton cafe :-)
