North Laine Cafe is a food led cafe at 31 Trafalgar Street in Brighton, a short walk from the station. Guests can eat inside, use the sun terrace or collect food for a journey through the city.
Breakfast, brunch and lunch menus feature a broad selection of freshly prepared hot and cold dishes. The kitchen uses locally sourced ingredients where possible and provides vegetarian and vegan choices alongside its meat and fish options.
Buddha bowls, salads and hearty brunch plates cover both lighter and more substantial appetites. Homemade cakes and bakes provide a sweet alternative for guests visiting between regular meal times.
Coffee beans come from a Brighton roaster, while specialist tea, local juices and smoothies extend the daytime drinks list. Beer, wine and cocktails also make the cafe suitable for a leisurely brunch or lunch rather than only a quick coffee stop.
Address: 31 Trafalgar Street, Brighton BN1 4ED, England
