Starfish & Coffee - (Near East Sussex, london)

oliwia ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Open Bakery is, without exaggeration, the best bakery I have ever been to in the UK and I genuinely don’t think anything will ever come close. I lived in Brighton for a year and I was literally living right in front of it, in a flat across the street. It became part of my week and I still think about it all the time. The pastries are so unreal that I don’t even have a single photo… because the second I walked in, I couldn’t even consider taking my phone out. Everything was eaten immediately. That’s how good it was. The atmosphere inside is perfect, warm, cosy, inviting, and just the kind of place that instantly makes you happy. And the staff are genuinely some of the friendliest people ever. It’s not just a bakery, it feels like a little Brighton treasure. They have incredible bread and so many other bakes, but I have to mention my favourite pastry of all time: the chocolate and almond croissant. I am not joking when I say I still dream about it. Flaky, rich, indulgent, perfect in every possible way. I would travel back to Brighton purely to eat it again. I live in the North now, and I swear there is simply nothing up here that compares. And honestly… if Open Bakery would ever ship so far, I will be the first person placing an order 100%! Brighton people don’t realise how lucky they are.

faurie yann (omnireso) Went there 20th of December. Great. After a few pints we decided to eat there. I had the sloppy pig and really enjoyed it. My friends had pizzas, impressive size and very tasty as well. The place is warm and friendly and the atmosphere was perfect for a gathering (not too noisy but still lively)

Steve N Absolutely lovely Sunday lunch. Fabulous roasts, massive Yorkies, great choice of veg and crunchy roast potatoes. All served by lovely smiley friendly staff.

Lydia Scullion Lovely meal and great service. Unfortunately we were one of the last tables to be seated so a couple of the main dishes had run out but a substitute was offered and the service was charming. Would definitely recommend.

Ann Messenger A lovely, well maintained hotel with nicely furnished bedrooms. Great restaurant serving delicious meals. Staff friendly and very accommodating. Will definitely return for another stay. Highly recommended.

Bertie Hutchinson Myself, my parents and my big brother have just enjoyed an absolutely delicious breakfast courtesy of the very accomplished chef and kitchen staff. Exemplary service from the lovely Debbie- from the moment we entered we were greeted with a big smile and a friendly interaction. You get the feeling nothings too much to ask and although this is a popular spot, the atmosphere is very calm. We are all vegetarians and the options available are very good. Definitely recommend and look forward to returning in the future!
