Welcome to Beach House Café, a charming little haven right on the seafront at 28 Kings Rd, Brighton BN1 2LN, United Kingdom. This family-owned café is not just a place to grab a quick bite or drink; it's a delightful experience that captures the essence of Brighton’s coastal charm.

As you approach the café, the inviting atmosphere draws you in. With just a couple of outdoor tables, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy the summer sun while being mere steps away from the beach. The sound of waves and laughter from the nearby children’s play area makes this a vibrant yet cozy setting. Beach House Café opens bright and early at 9 AM, ready to serve up delicious refreshments to early risers and beachgoers alike.

The café’s menu may be simple, but it’s the quality and heart behind each offering that truly shines. Customers rave about their refreshing slushies, available for just £2 a cup, where you can mix flavors to create your perfect summer drink. It’s the ideal way to cool down after a day on the beach. Moreover, the freshly made milkshakes and generous ice cream portions are also favorites, not just for their delightful taste, but for the joyful experiences they foster on steaming hot days.

One customer, Peter KCN from London, highly recommends the slushies, noting their unbeatable value and refreshing flavors – a great companion on a sunny day at the beach. Another patron, Stephen Straight, highlighted the accommodating staff who found and held onto a forgotten phone, emphasizing the café’s commitment to customer service and community spirit. You can feel the warmth and friendliness of the staff through the welcoming smiles and helpfulness, turning a simple coffee run into a memorable experience.

Speaking of coffee, just as one satisfied local, Iain Mann, shared, Beach House Café is a wonderful spot for early morning brews. With a cozy and approachable coffee selection, it provides just the right pick-me-up for guests looking to start their day off right. The cappuccino, priced at only £3, is a real treat that pairs beautifully with the vibrant seaside atmosphere.

For anyone in search of a lovely little retreat with a personal touch, Beach House Café stands out not just for its delicious drinks and snacks, but for the heartfelt experiences it fosters among its patrons. Sergio, one of the friendly staff members, is often cited for crafting the best dark chocolate drink in town—an indulgence not to be missed! With every visit, you’ll leave feeling refreshed and uplifted, ready to enjoy everything the stunning Brighton seafront has to offer.

Family owned cafe, highly recommend the slush at only £2 a cup and you can mix the flavours a really nice beverage for the beach.

Stopped here for a much needed drink and ice cream and sit down. Freshly made milkshake, good size ice cream but best of all great service. One of our group left their phone there. Staff found it and held until collected later in the day. Relief all round. Thanks

What a friendly little cafe on the seafront. Only two tables outside and right next to a children's play area. Staff are great and coffee is good. Snacks too. Wonderful place for an early morning coffee. Opens pretty early like about 9, which IS very early for Brighton!
