Sugardough - Brighton and Hove

The restaurant was very welcoming! The selection of food was excellent, with options like cod croquettes, limoncello, and cake available for breakfast. Everything was delicious! I can't wait to come back.

We were looking for somewhere in Brighton where we could get a decent cup of tea and a cake and we found it at Sugardough. The was a warm welcome and friendly service. The tea was served in lovely vintage tea pots with individual tea strainers and we tried the carrot cake, which was superb. Lovely moist cake made fresh that day, absolutely delicious. This is a great find and definitely somewhere for a pit stop next time we are in Brighton.

I just wanted to grab a coffee and have a seat, but the staff made it clear that it wasn't allowed. When we asked to sit down, we overheard one staff member saying, "Why can't people JUST WAIT." The staff member wearing a beanie was one of the rudest hospitality workers I've ever encountered, eating a sandwich from another place while talking to customers with an air of arrogance.

We came to Sugardough because the Breakfast Club nearby was heaving with people- and I am so glad we did. The waitress was so charming and friendly, and made sure we had everything we asked for. She was honest about which dishes were her recommended, which was a breath of fresh air for food service, and her recommendations were so good! Noting that we were a bit fragile (translation: incredibly hungover), she kept us topped up with water and joked with us, and even gifted my friend a croissant on her own dime after he didn't order anything! The croissant was amazing, and the crumpets I had on my eggs benedict, which are made in house, were to die for. We will 100% be coming back again and will keep recommending to people!

The restaurant is just okay, with friendly staff and a good location. However, it is severely overpriced. Two people getting a light meal and drinks should not cost £44. There are other options in the area that offer much better value.
