Wow! Visited for the first time today & boy will you see me back for more! The atmosphere is just perfect-wonderful staff who made us feel welcome from start to finish & never made us feel that we were over-staying, a lovely eclectic decor that feels a tad vintage, a touch 'Bedouin' & a smidgen discotheque...strange I know...but when you go there you'll understand what I mean. The music playing in the background is from around the world (which is right up my street) & low volume enough for you to focus on chit-chat or what you're reading. Not forgetting the coffee of course, naturally being the main reason for the visit....is as sumptuous as I'd hoped it would be!

The best one the city love it

Sweet place, great coffee and good vibe. I always go here when in the area and not a chain!

User

Polite and happy staff, quick service and hot chocolate tasted amazing. Love the fact it says what brand hot chocolate they use on there board. I didn't eat but my mum had a sandwich and it looked lovely, good amount of filling and quickly made and brought to us at our table.

User

My first time out on the newly refurbished decking and it is BEAUTIFUL. Lovely service as always and the sunshine makes it feel like we're on holiday. Thank you intenso! Perfect as always xXx

User

Lovely place to work. All the regulars are lovely. Thank you for having me

User

Lovely local independent coffee shop that suits young kids (separate area at the rear) to freelance consultants (no pressure to stop using their free wifi in a hurry) to trendy young things (great laid back Ibiza-esque soundtrack) to retirees, all of whom who love great coffee :)

User

Love this little independent coffee shop, great coffee, I had a fab toastie, lovely bread and plenty of filling, followed by a delicious passion fruit smoothie.

I highly recommend a visit

User

It's really hard to get a good espresso in Brighton these days without it tasting bitter or scalding hot! It's so refreshing to meet a barista who is passionate about the art of coffee making! Perfect espresso every time and very friendly service ☕️☕️

User

I'm an Intenso Lifer - cradle to grave, the whole of life flows through this chill-out-den come social-hub come coffee shop. Guaranteed to meet someone interesting, every time you visit. I can't claim to be a regular from the other side of the planet, but I can claim to go out of my way to enjoy, any time I can.
