The Best Cafe in Brighton for a Coffee Catch-up
Searching for the Best Cafe in Brighton
Fancy cosying up with a coffee or brunch from the best cafe in Brighton. Well keep reading and you will be soon enough. I’m on a mission to discover the best cafes right across Australia.
After a really hard couple of years. Cafes everywhere are doing it tough. You can walk through any town in Australia and see cafes who’ve had to close their doors.
I want to help in any way I can. I’ve decided to dedicate my blog, to finding the best Cafes in Australia and shine a light on them. It’s time to get out and support these wonderful cafes. I’ve already uncovered fabulous cafes in Port Melbourne, amazing cafes in South Yarra and brilliant cafes in Collingwood. Now, I’m searching for the best cafe in Brighton.
Brighton is jam packed with fabulous cafes, serving delicious coffee and mouth-watering breakfast and lunch dishes. But we all know, not all cafes are created equal. There’s nothing worse than heading out for a delicious brunch and being disappointed with what you receive. So, I’ve done the hard yards. I’ve visited cafes all over Brighton, from the lively spots to the hidden gems. After so many lattes, bacon and egg rolls, pastries and avo on toasts, I’ve narrowed it down to the six best cafes Brighton.
I’m so excited to share. Let’s get going.
Where are the Best Brighton Cafes?
SUPERRANDOM
Superrandom is a great little cafe, known for its friendly service, excellent coffee and delish toasties. The interior is so different to other cafes. There is a collection of construction materials acting as tables, held together with steel clamps. Pot plants hang on rope swings and fabulous art works line the walls.
Superrandon is really focused on take away, serving delicious jaffles, beautiful baguettes and a mouth-watering selection of pastries and sweet treats.
Breakfast at Superrandon includes Bircher Muesli with apple berry compote, yogurt and toasted almonds or delicious homemade crumpets. In terms of the flavoursome pressed jaffles on offer. There is one with mushroom, spinach and fetta, one with slow roast lamb and one with roast chicken, pesto and tasty cheese.
If you are looking for something sweeter, don’t go past the Nutella and banana jaffle. It is amazing.

St Martins is one of my favorite cafes in Brighton. They love to support local, organic, and free-range food that is in season, because it tastes the best. While the cafe fit out pays homage to the nearby Brighton Beach Boxes, the kitchen is focused on food with a difference.
On the menu, there is a Vanilla and Yoghurt Panna Cotta, a delicious Egg and Bacon Roll and Mushrooms on Toast with garlic and thyme butter, pickled fennel, goat cheese, hazelnut and poached egg.
Clark Street Coffee Roasters supply the smoothest of coffee blends, making it impossible to just have one. There are also teas and delicious smoothies to choose from. The Mango and Coconut smoothie was outstanding.
