Taste Cyprus with L❤️️ve

  Good breakfast although bacon was rather too overdone for my liking. Other things to choose from if you didn't want an English breakfast

  I stopped in there this morning as my regular place was closed, and honestly I was happy I went there! I was greeted and made very welcome. The person who... read more was working was very chatty and lovely. A customer in there recommended the banana cake and quite honestly - it was incredible. The person who worked there had made it and it was amazing, they gave me a huge slice too!
I will definitely be going back - thank you for the lovely coffee and cake x

  Why is the owner so miserable? I understand businesses are struggling right now, so I try and support independent small businesses.

She makes no attempt at conversation, the place looks a little dirty and run down,she prefers to play games on her phone. Sadly this will be my last visit and she has lost my support.

  My sister and I had lunch here following a recommendation - so pleased we did! Our lunch was absolutely delicious and the berry /ginger drink was superb with just the... read more right level of ginger - zing! The service was very friendly, but not overbearing. Would definitely recommend Diva and will visit again when in Brighton.

This is... read more a lovely little Cypriot place - the owner is super friendly and welcoming.

  We decided to come here for a late breakfast as was close to our hotel, and we weren't disappointed! Got a very warm welcome by the lady that served us,... read more and nothing was to much trouble. I had the grilled chicken, halloumi and piccalilli baguette, it was so nice! Tasted so fresh, and the bread tasted like it has been freshly baked in the oven! My partner had the full English breakfast which he also really enjoyed. I had a lovely mixed berries smoothie, added bonus was I was able to have it without banana (allergic) as they are all freshly made! The food was all fresh and made to order too. The lady kindly offered to put some mango in it instead which was a nice touch. My partner had a cappuccino which was also very nice. Everything was reasonably priced and was great value. Felt welcome throughout the whole visit and would not hesitate to come back if we visited Brighton again! 🙂 I would recommend visitors of Brighton to try here at least once when you visit.

What a wonderful find this place was - I will definitely be back the next time I have meetings in Brighton

  This is a firm favourite with locals of Brighton's St James area - the gateway into Kemptown 'proper'. A nice mx of people, excellent coffee and scrumptious foods for all... read more tastes. Fabulousness abounds from the chef-patron herself and her helpers. Right next door to the LGBTQI+ Advice Centre, and neary opposite a great Mediterranean/Middle-Eastern greengrocery-bakery too! Downstairs at Diva: film showings and various activities - community, language-learning... Go discover.

  Every time I go to Brighton, I find another reason I should move here. This time it is Diva. A rainy Friday on James Street was vastly improved by this... read more serendipitous discovery. Lovely food, excellent tea, friendly clientele and great staff. I was made to feel at home as though I was a regular, not cliquey at all, just pure warmth. Can I move in please?!

Delightful atmosphere and staff.

  My sister and I were in Brighton for the day and stumbled upon Diva completely by chance. What a find! The food was great but what really made it was... read more the atmosphere and the personality of the two women working there. It's a small place and between these two women and several regular customers, we felt like we'd been invited into a warm and welcoming family living room. Lots of chat, people at multiple tables joining in the same conversation. It felt like a real community hub, and it was a treat to be part of it. Awesome harissa soup too!
