I know everyone has their own opinion of places they visit but I've seen some of these reviews and the more negative ones I don't agree with. The food here is great from all chefs/staff (I'm a fussy bugger so I prefer my food to be cooked by one chef in particular and that's Mike, his breakfasts are heavenly and he's super friendly and always asks how everything is, which makes it 10x better), the service here is top notch, everyone is really lovely, I'm always greeted with a warm welcome when I come in and most tend to remember my order too which is lovely. There are lot of cafes/coffee shops around me but I always come back to this one, I will never go anywhere else. To all the staff/chefs/management/owners of the mad hatter, well done! If I could give you more than 5 stars I would.
Much love from one of your local customers.
Lauren. Keep up the great work ♥️
I tried this place on a whim and was quite pleased, overall. £11.85 for the pictured breakfast was, probably, about right given its location (I've paid more for worse food).
Superb sausage and bacon though, having asked for scrambled eggs, was a tad disappointed to receive an omelette. That said, it's texture and taste were excellent. I would recommend.
Friendly staff and cosy feeling to the settings. Coffee tasted delicious.
The Mad Hatter has a countryside vibe to me. It’s chill and relaxing. Very nice and friendly staff. I tried Spanish omelette, hash browns, and a latte there until now. All of them were amazing. And also the prices are affordable. I would give the whole place a 8/5 out of 10.
Nice coffee, good atmosphere and lovely food the staff was friendly with very reasonable prices we definitely recommend.
I'm quite excited about the Spanish tortilla with salad. Absolutely authentic, generous portions, crisp salad. Loved it. Added some salmon to one, some hummus to the other, and we had a bit of a moment eating them both. Also highly recommend the Latino-inspired smoothies. The guyabano and acerola mixes went well with the meal. Really nice people and a relaxed vibe.
A lovely little place. We ordered a full English breakfast and poached eggs on toast. Both were wonderfully cooked and it was a really relaxing space to be as we were able to watch the world go by with no pressures to move on or purchase more. Thank you for a lovely morning
A lovely local coffee shop with friendly staff and quirky, Alice in Wonderland themed decor. Great music, reasonably priced drinks, great place to do some work with a snack and a latte.
Staff very friendly, muffin and coffee both excellent, menu very extensive, looking forward to trying more things soon. 5*
A decent find in Hove with a quirky atmosphere inside. Very busy on a Sunday morning because there was a nearby 10K race taking place for the coffee with smooth and fragrant and the granola slice was tasty too

Absolutely delightful lunch - we had the falafel wrap (great that options where available) and it was delicious, well prepared and came with two delicious side salads. Atmosphere was pleasant and for a hot day there was a nice breeze. Service was pleasant, great location and good food! Worth a visit!
Called in for coffee excellent service goo atmosphere friendly staff
Really interesting theme and decor, the drinks and food are higher quality then you would expect from a coffee shop, but are priced to match.
Cosy place on the main street with good coffee, tasty full English breakfast at competitive rates. Highly recommended.
An extremely competitive & fair price for a delicious large latte. The staff are always very friendly & welcoming. The Mad Batter is one of my favourite place to go for a coffee. They don't have a loyalty card for hot drinks which most of the other cafes have but this is balanced out by the fact that their hot drinks prices are significantly cheaper than other cafes.
Fried egg and bacon sarnie for a fiver. Perfectly cooked egg and lovely thick bacon slices served piping hot as if you were at home. Yeah the place is a little out dated but the food and service alone was impeccable. Was my first visit, definitely wont be my last!
Just dropped in here for the first time since I’ve lived in Brighton over a year. Came right when I opened it 8 AM on a Sunday and of course the service was very quick.
Just had a simple flat white with two poached eggs on toast which was very good and delivered quickly as well.
Looks like there’s plenty of outdoor and indoor seating and a good location.
