Let me just start by saying, I really, really, REALLY wanted to love this place.  I loved their food truck (minus the frozen prawns they served me), I was really excited by their Mexican 'tapas' menu and a good friend of mine whose opinion I trust immensely had had an excellent meal there- so to say I had high hopes would be an understatement. I'm not going to mince my words about this, the waitress was breathtakingly rude, before we'd even ordered and throughout. Dismissive, abrupt and she completely mugged my friend Alex off.  Now I have what's called a 'bitchy resting face' so I'm not unaccustomed to people being rude to me. However my friend does not, she's a manager at a lovely restaurant in town so would never dream of speaking to someone in the same industry like a twat, unfortunately our waitress had no such qualms, and sadly it set the tone for the whole meal. I started the festivities a day early (Thurs) with a boozy lunch at 64 Degrees (review coming soon) followed by more drinks, then oysters on the seafront while the sun set before a night of cocktails with a new and very lovely friend- suffice to say I was not in a good way the following day.

I'm still completely enamoured with my new blender, I've definitely had my 7 a day since the little beauty arrived!  I've never been a fan of pure veg juice, I expected good things from Cafe Coho, I'd seen various positive comments and reviews on some Brighton blogs and Instagrams, they do alright on tripadvisor and have two branches in Brighton so I figured they had to be doing quite a lot right. Slap bang in the middle of the South Lanes and right next door to Independent coffee shop, Marwoods, it couldn't really have a better position for passing trade, the day we went in all of the tables inside were full as well as half of the outside ones- a good sign. the interior is nice, the layout and way that they'd displayed their food reminded me of Cafe Marmalade, only, not so vibrant, or tempting or fresh... Regular readers of this blog will know that I've got a bit of a thing about roasts and have spent the last couple of years searching out the best roast in Brighton.
