“The most beautiful place for brunch. Here from Canada and I’ll recommend everyone to visit Need. The staff were so kind and the atmosphere was stunning. Would eat here daily if I could.”

“We just happened to stumble across this lovely restaurant whilst visiting Seaford for a day out . We had been advised that there was nowhere worth eating locally! But how wrong they were! …”
- Ella Zeynep
“I absolutely love this place. The chai latte is excellent and the atmosphere is relaxed. You can tell there’s a lot of care and attention to detail in everything they do. It’s the perfect place for breakfast, brunch or simply a really good coffee. Great location too, just a short walk from the beach. Definitely one of my favourite spots in Seaford - highly recommended! ☕️✨”

“Nothing really stood out apart from how beautiful the place is. The interior is lovely, and the staff were all friendly and welcoming. They showed us to our reserved table, but we decided to sit outside instead, which was nice. The only letdown for us was the food. I ordered the chicken burger, and it just felt like something you’d get at a pub—nice enough, but very basic. I was expecting something a bit more elevated to match the vibe of the place. My partner had the full Need breakfast, and he felt the same. It was okay, but nothing memorable. If I lived closer to Seaford, I’d probably come back for the atmosphere. But with so many great brunch spots in Brighton, I think there are better places to go for the food.”

“Came across this beautiful brunch place with good vibes. Staff are all so friendly. The BBQ pulled pork bagel with chorizo bits and poached egg was absolutely amazing and the elderflower bellini is just what I need for a hot summer day! Highly recommended!”
