Summer has arrived!

What a time to live in Brighton & hove

We've been making the most of sunny evenings on the beach after long, hot days and the sea is warming up finally. At the cafe, iced drinks are leaving the bar before 9am, Isle of Wight tomatoes are flying out of the kitchen, and we're chatting all day long about just how hot it really is.

With Pride just around the corner, On the beach 2026 is happening this weekend, the city is starting to buzz. Summer has well and truly arrived at Black Mocha.

It's officially iced drinks season

Iced Black Mocha, Blueberry Matcha, all the matcha, Cold Brew, house made iced teas, fresh pressed juice, frozen mint Lemonade, we've got plenty of reasons for you to stop by and cool down.

If you're walking through the North Laine, call in.

independent Brighton

This year marks 12 years of Black Mocha. From very humble beginnings, we've built something we're incredibly proud of. None of it would have been possible without our regulars, our neighbours and everyone who's discovered us along the way - a BIG thank you.

Every time you choose independent, you're helping businesses like ours create places where people connect, catch up and feel welcome.

That's why we're proud to support the VATs Enough campaign, alongside thousands of hospitality businesses across the UK. Independent cafes, restaurants and pubs are part of what gives Brighton and communities across the country their character.

Every visit makes a difference. We employ local people, buy from local suppliers wherever we can, and work hard to create a place that's good for our community - socially, culturally and economically.

Thank you for being part of it.

Spring at Black Mocha

Turkish eggs, frozen matcha lemonade, and a few new things for the bank holiday weekend.

Brighton’s hit that point in the year where everyone’s carrying sunglasses and a coat at the same time. Thankfully, this bank holiday weekend looks like we might finally get some proper warm weather so leave that coat at home!

We’ve made a few changes at Black Mocha recently - a seasonal update to the menu, more iced drinks back on the counter, and a bit of a refresh in the café now winter’s disappeared.

The space has had a soft update with sage greens and warmer earthy tones throughout.

Turkish eggs, frozen matcha mint lemonade and pistachio cake

​On the menu, wild garlic is in season and Turkish Eggs have arrived as a seasonal special with organic poached eggs, garlic yoghurt, fresh wild garlic pesto, nduja oil and toasted sourdough. ​We’ve also added a seasonal salad to the menu, changing daily with roasted spring vegetables, house pickles, smoked seeds and house dressing.

Turkish eggs with garlic yoghurt, wild garlic pesto, nduja oil, herbs, sourdough and optional merguez sausages

Seasonal specials board featuring daily salad and Turkish eggs

Our Iced drinks menu is here - iced blueberry matcha, ​iced chocolates, house lemonade, cold brew and housemade iced teas. Our current favourite is the Frozen Matcha Mint Lemonade. Fresh mint, matcha and lemon syrup - think mock mojito, sharp and refreshing perfect for those sunny days around the corner.

Frozen Matcha Mint Lemonade

If you’re around over the bank holiday, come by for brunch, an iced drink, or a takeaway ​coffee before heading to the beach.

Thanks as always for supporting independent places like ours.
