Macs Cafe - Brighton and Hove

Visited this place a few times lately, and was surprised how the prices vary depending who's behind the counter. Ordered exactly the same meal drink on two different occasions, first time was charged £7.60, second time charged £8.80 My advice is be careful if you order something not on the priced menu. Agree with a previous comment on the smaller plates. Beans filled most of my plate, so just a handful of chips, very crafty. The food is ok, staff friendly (depending on who's working), big guy behind the counter could be more helpful friendly. Cafe is spotlessly clean. Just need to clean up the issues of pricing consistency of food on plates be a bit more friendly towards the customers (not difficult really).

This cafe used to be great.It has now been taken over by a new owner who can not cook.Very small plates of food which look nothing like the pictures on the wall.I would rather starve than go to this over priced dirty cafe.

This cafe has all the elements of being excellent for a bacon sandwich mug of tea but just lacks the wow factor of maybe a bright and breezy manager greeting and joking with the clientele.

I absolutely love this cafe and go regularly for the macs special breakfast. The staff are lovely welcoming and helpful and I’m looking forward to my next my visit thank you !!

Visited on 8 January 2022. 1st visit since the cafe changed hands. Always rated it and have been using it for years. New owner has upped the standards so the breakfast is even better. Sausages are deffo higher quality. Two of us visited, I had a Number 2 with beans plus extra egg and fried spuds. My buddy had a Mac's special with extra black pudding and extra mushrooms. Both of has a mug of tea as well. Cost £20.50 but happy to pay that as everything was great. Pleased to see a couple of ladies from before the new ownership are still working here, service with a smile. : as ever.
