01 The story, in three paragraphs

Why everyone keeps coming back.

Nestled on the charming 2 Applesham Avenue in Brighton and Hove, Cafe o; stands out as a delightful local gem for coffee lovers and casual diners alike. This contemporary café offers a warm, inviting atmosphere accentuated by its eye-catching mural doodles that stretch across the walls and windows, creating a vibrant yet cozy environment. Though seating indoors is limited and a bit modern with some high stools that may not suit everyone, the option of outdoor tables adds a relaxed vibe perfect for catching up with friends or unwinding with a good book.

Cafe o; is celebrated for its high-quality food and delectable sweet treats that truly engage the senses. Customers rave about the freshness and flavors that balance indulgence with comforting familiarity.

The friendly, approachable staff consistently go the extra mile, creating a welcoming environment where every visit feels special.

The menu, while not exhaustively detailed here, features a versatile range of hot and cold options perfect for lunchtime. From satisfying sandwiches to enticing cakes that are hard to resist, every dish is prepared with care and creativity. Kelly P’s praise for the moreish sweet treats resonates strongly upon tasting — each bite combines quality ingredients with just the right hint of indulgence.

What truly sets Cafe o; apart is its blend of creative flair and genuine hospitality. Debra Roberts highlights the “lovely design” and mural artwork that foster a modern yet personal atmosphere. Adam Wickenden and ShazJ’s reviews echo the sentiments of exceptional service paired with delicious offerings, making this café not just a pit stop but a cherished local retreat.

If you find yourself exploring Hove or Brighton’s vibrant café scene, don’t miss the chance to experience Cafe o;. It’s a place where artistry meets culinary passion and where the team’s commitment to friendliness and excellence shines through in every cup and plate served.

Really lovely cafe... We happened upon it by mistake but glad we did! I loved the mural doodle on the wall and across the windows... That was the first thing It has a very modern feel inside, lovely design, there's not a lot of seating inside and some of that is high so not suitable for everyone, there are a few tables and chairs outside Food was lovely with lots of choice and the cakes looked amazing.... Coffee was excellent Service was lovely, very friendly and good parking
