Artbox Cafe

Atmosphere - 10 Service - 10 Food - 1 I love this place it’s super cute but it’s obvious that you visit this cafe for the aesthetic only. The food wasn’t nice. The drinks are very sugary. The dessert was so bad.. it seemed like a frozen pancake reheated. But the staff are lovely and the shop has authentic merch 🥰 would visit again but maybe just to get a hot drink. Also gluten free options!

Are here with my daughter. The atmosphere is fab, with awesome artwork and statues etc. The Service we couldn't of asked for more. Friendly and helpful! You are only limited to 1 hour at your table which I was unaware of, so it either doesn't mention it when booking online or I missed it which means it needs to be highlighted somehow. There was only 8 other people in the cafe with us but our food took 30 minutes to arrive! The food is pricey but They do go all out with the appearance of the food!! It comes out looking amazing!! But the menu choices are quite poor. I get that with a time limit of 1hr they can't offer massive meals but they only had 4 savory options and ALL of them were vegetarian!! And they are the most random options like a vegetarian burger or avocado on toast?! It was brilliant for the experience but sadly we won't be returning.... The hello kitty shop downstairs however!! Just wow! Quite pricey!! But they are also imported items that you would struggle to find elsewhere!! Just brilliant!

Amazing experience! Booked in advance as its pretty popular. The theming and atmosphere were incredible and the food was super cute and tasty. The waffles were to die for. Staff were incredibly friendly. 10/10 The little shop downstairs has a huge selection of over a dozen ice cream flavours and I bought a great pin as a souvenir!

Love the aesthetic of this cafe and that it switches up the theme every few months. I visited a few months ago (Hello Kitty theme - can't wait to see what will be next!). Make sure to book in advance as getting seats on the day is close to impossible. I would recommend their sweet meals more than the savoury ones. The ground floor has a shop which has lots of cute items you can buy and a little cafe but the food is served on the first floor. Although no lifts are available, they're able to cater to people who can't use the stairs by setting up a table on the ground floor.

Had brunch here recently. I expected the food to be just cute but it turned out to be delicious too! Highly recommend My Melody waffle, it's a big portion and also comes with macarons and sorbet, plus heart shaped sprinkles and edible flowers! Every staff member was super lovely and helpful, thank you!

Came here on the 10th sept for lunch - didnt prebook so crossed our fingers and went in anyway and managed to book a table with about a 50 min wait, so we walked around until it was time. We came back and it did take a while for the staff downstairs to get to us but I understood that the shop and cafe was quite busy. We were seated at a window/stool table upstairs, and the cafe played cute music at a good volume - not too loud nor quiet. We had a lovely waitress, Jihyun, who took our order and was very complimentary, attentive and kind. We ordered the Ice Cream Sundae and the Matcha Latte & Strawberry Popping Bubble Tea. The sundae was very delicious & sweet, and you get a lot for it with a chocolate treat, hello kitty cookie, chocolate cookie sticks, edible wafer and syrup in the bottom of the glass. The bubble tea didn't really taste much like strawberry, but I still enjoyed it & really liked the popping bubbles too. I also got a sanrio tote bag from the merch shop downstairs. Overall really cute and fun experience. Thank you!

Amazing attention to character detail with the food and aesthetically pleasing venue for my Sanrio kuromi obsessed 6 year old daughter. Be sure to book if you want a table, we went in summer holidays so very busy, deposit to secure a table is refunded on food bill. A must for any Sanrio fan.Dessert, Cafe, Vegetarian Friendly, Vegan Options...and more.

Totally Worth it!! We travelled to Brighton second time in two weekends for this! My family loves it very much. The experience, decoration, staff and food was excellent. Basically the shop on the ground floor with ice cream variety. Plenty of folks buying small gifts and admiring the decorations and ambient. The gifts are not cheap Chinese knock off. They are actually from Japan because we have been to Hello Kitty in Tokyo and Osaka and they are authentic and well priced. For the restaurant you need to get there before 11am and expect a Que. when you get in you need to book for next available table for the same day. The staff are really friendly and try their best to fit you in. Don’t be offended if you don’t get a seat because it is very popular. We got our seats at 14:15 and only hour session. All the food are vegetarian/vegan/gluten free. The food is good! So cute, chic and well decorated. Honestly, for the pricing, it’s not expensive. Back in Japan, theme restaurant like Pokémon, Gundam, Mario, hello kitty cafe cost way more. The food was delivered to the table fast, hot and very tasty. I was surprised because I was not expecting much for it being outside Japan. I know folks complain about how expensive it was, actually for theme restaurant it’s very affordable. It’s the experience more than cheap cheerful (not Macdonald) Only critic - the curry is not Japanese curry. Maybe something to upgrade on the recipe My kids were happy. We had hundreds of photos taken and took away a wonderful bank holiday in Brighton. Even my son enjoyed the experience despite me teasing him half the time. Well done Artbox cafe Brighton. You made our weekend complete!! Keep up the good good work!! Ps: folks complain about the auto tips. I think it’s worth the cost because the staff is super nice and they deserve it. They came in dressed, theme makeup, work hard and put on their best smile. 😊

my friend and i came to the kitty cafe today after waiting so long to visit, and it was the best experience ever!!! the cafe was so cutely decorated, the waitresses were lovely and polite and helpful, the food was perfectly portioned and cooked to perfection and not expensive at all!! the whole experience is fabulous and amazing for hello kitty lovers 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

Luckily we came when it wasn't that busy. Staff are nice and welcoming. Has a range of different sanrio/hello kitty things to buy.. like stationary, bags, teddies and so on. All reasonably priced, cheaper than I've seen elsewhere. And they also have ice cream, also reasonably priced. We didn't go upstairs to see the café, only the bottom floor shop
