The Avenue Kemptown

In Kemptown, Brighton, The Avenue Kemptown champions the great British morning with freshly prepared breakfasts and brunches. It is an easy-going spot where amazing coffees meet freshly baked pastries daily, with made-to-order smoothies and iced teas setting a relaxed, linger-as-you-like pace.

The kitchen leans into comforting classics done with care. Think a full English breakfast or a generous vegetarian breakfast, omelettes folded to order with chips, warm jacket potatoes and stacked sandwiches, including a hearty breakfast sandwich layered with egg, bacon and cumberland sausage. For sweetness, pancakes arrive with berry compote and blood orange cream, or maple syrup and organic bacon for that salty-sweet swoop.

House signatures add a flourish. The Avenue Breakfast pairs organic bacon and sausages with new potatoes, wild mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and an organic egg, while Avenue Garden Breakfast keeps things green with crushed peas, avocado, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and hummus. There is also Spring Hash of roasted potatoes, cabbage and greens with egg or scrambled tofu, and a classic Benedict finished with smoked salmon, organic bacon or wild mushrooms and hollandaise.

To drink, there are fresh orange and apple juices, smoothies made to order and an array of presses: healthy fresh greens press, beets press, carrots press, pineapple press and black lemon, plus iced coffees and teas. They even serve freshly whipped ice cream. Drop in for breakfast or linger for brunch, and start the day the Avenue way.
