I wish i was not a Londoner because the cardamom bun and blueberry matcha were so so good! I would recommend going earlier in the day as their pastries are limited but so good

Granny Cafe has been my absolute goto spot, and I can't recommend it enoughEvery visit was a delight, and I'm already missing it dearly. Their Blueberry Matcha are simply incredible !! so fresh and delicious. But what truly surprised me was their Hojicha. It had a depth of flavor that surpassed even the Hojicha I've had in Japan, which was a wonderful discovery I also tried Thai Tea here for the first time, it absolutely perfect! Even their Coffee Iced Latte was fantastic. Beyond the amazing drinks, the staff are incredibly kind and friendly, always making me feel welcome. My daily matcha from Granny was a small but significant happiness in my day, and I'll truly cherish those memories. I'm going to miss this place so much

I highly recommend the strawberry matcha latte! It’s the perfect amount of sweetness and tastes super fresh. The pastries are also so delicious and he even warms them up and brings them to you.

Lovely little cafe, hidden gem. The staff were very friendly and nice. I had an iced blueberry matcha it was lovely. The matcha was made properly in a bowl with a whisk unlike a lot of other cafes. The blueberry syrup tasted really good I think it was handmade. My partner has a hot chocolate. They even did latte art on it. She said it was very nice. They use really nice glasses and mugs which add to the experience. I enjoyed the section of Asian beauty products too. Also they had so many milk options and multiple brands of oat milk and they offered me the choice of which one.

Best matcha in Brighton hands down! I would go everyday if it wasn’t for my poor wallet ;) I’m only staying in Brighton for a few months but I’m definitely gonna go back times and times again before I have to leave!

Easily my favourite cafe in Brighton, every drink I’ve gotten from here has surpassed expectations. I love how homely the environment feels, there’s even a dog who makes an appearance every now and again!
