They make all of their cakes, pastries and breads on site and also serve rich Organic Coffee that you can take away onto the seafront. Their sausage rolls and small flans are just delicious. A little pricey but definitely worth a visit. You can watch the bakers making your foods and I guarantee you cannot visit without buying more than you want. This is my indulgence bakery and I love it.

Just a short walk away are the well known Hove Lawns. You can walk down to the seafront and take a picnic and sit and enjoy a lovely day here. Swimming is fabulous with lifeguards stationed just near to the Lawns Cafe for your safety. There are public toilets in this area so you can spend a full day on the beach. On a hot summer evening many locals and holiday makers will take small disposable barbecues to the beach after 6pm for an early evening soiree. Some evening the sunset is amazing and well worth just going to sit and watch. See the famous brightly painted beach huts along the sea front.
