Nowhere Man - Brighton

Nice atmosphere, delicious food, quick service and fast wifi. We only had minor complaints (most water jugs weren’t full, felt there wasn’t enough bacon on the pancakes) but overall a very nice casual breakfast café!

I decided to come here for a friends birthday and saw that on their Instagram that they are gluten free friendly. As a celiac I was excited to be able to eat pancakes out. Upon arrival I asked how they go about making sure there is no cross contamination, I was told if I’m a celiac I shouldn’t eat here as they can’t promise my food won’t be contained as it’s small kitchen. There was nothing indicating this on their Instagram or menu. If you advertise you provide gluten free food you need to highlight if it’s suitable or not for celiacs. Not just for the fads.

Had a really great coffee, and the menu has plenty of Vegan options and alternatives. Their pancakes selection looks awesome, and their bagels are great too. Really cool, relaxing little indie place definitely worth a visit if you want a quick place to stop.

We were looking forward to visiting for brunch after seeing Nowhere Man on social media. It was a good change to try pancakes made in an independent establishment such as this one. We did have to wait a long time for seating, but once we were in we had a great table location by the window. Our dog appreciated this too! We both chose to add blueberry compote to one of the tiers of pancake options; it's such a worthwhile consideration of the business to let you have a level of freedom in customising your own meal, while also offering pancakes with particular sets of toppings. Our pancakes were delicious and the portion sizes were just right. The drinks were nice too, particularly the Biscoff/Oreo hot chocolate which was not too sickly like the ones that seem to dominate other places' offering. We will come back here in the future — maybe closer to the opening time, so that we can avoid the wait for seating. Shows that it is so popular!

This place is amazing!!! Food super! Coffee best I've had in a long time. Staff lovely and friendly! Would 10 out of 10 recommend visiting!
