You must visit this iconic quaint little tea room. Yes it is in an ' out of the way ' location. Not many people will be wandering down to Pool Valley , other than to catch the bus . It's situated just off East Street , but is definitely worth a visit. It's quirky but has a fantastic choice of cakes . The menu is varied and very competitively priced . All the cakes are baked by the owner , who lives above the Tea rooms , I believe . It feels homely , the service is excellent, the cakes are all on display and the Coffee is served in China cups with saucers too. There are all sorts of paintings and photos on the walls , it's lovely and warm inside . I shall be going again very soon. Not

Had a lovely lunch at The mock turtle when I visited Brighton. The sandwiches and home made cakes were delicious. The staff were very welcoming and the cafe has a relaxed atmosphere.
Don't bother going to a chain cafe as a few steps away is the real deal.

Beautiful place. Staff were very polite. The omlettes were so fluffy. Portions definitely worth the price.

Quite the pleasant surprise, I’m pleased that stumbled into here.
I found the prices to be very competitive, especially compared to other venues in town.
I had the house specialty, Welsh rarebit, which was very good. My partner had a rock cake too which received a big thumbs up.
I don’t know Brighton well but I I think this is the best value for quality venue.
It is not a tourist trap, the staff are friendly and not pushy at all.
The decor is cool, a good play on an old world British Tea house.
Next time I’m in Brighton I will certainly start my day off here

Probably the best place to enjoy a tea together with a great and tasty slice of cake. Besides, we enjoyed a lot the tea party with a big and delicious scones.
The service were so good and helpful. Also, the decoration is charming.

Fantastic tea shop and definitely worth a visit. I ordered a full English and it was obviously cooked to ordered and absolutely delicious. The staff were really friendly and wonderful too. Nothing bad to say about this place at all. I'll definitely be back.

THEY ARE FABULOUS! SUPER SOFT CREAMY🥹 And guess what? They are not expensive!!! Definitely worth to come💕

An old English tea shop, all cakes are made by proprietor, including some very large doughnuts, with lashings of jam !
I had tea and tuna sandwich, and shared a doughnut with friends. Amazingly friendly people here, well worth more visits when in Brighton.

Lovely and cozy old school type of British tea room locates in the central of Brighton. Nice selection of tea and decent food, it does feel like having a cup of tea at granny's house.
