Richard's Cafe

You'll find Richard's tucked away on Church Road in Hove, away from the seafront chaos but somehow exactly where you want to be on a Saturday morning. It's the kind of place where regulars know the staff's names and the coffee's always on point—nothing fussy, just done well. The food's straightforward and generous: think brunch that doesn't require a second mortgage, sandwiches that feel homemade, and cakes that justify skipping the gym. It's not trying to be Instagram-famous or reinvent the wheel; it's just reliably good, which is honestly rarer than it should be.
