Brighton's independent brunch café. Family-run, food-first.

Moksha has been independently owned and run since we opened in 2007. Chef Oli built it with family around him — his mum Kate was an early face front of house, and his partner Lotta has helped shape the direction of the business ever since. In 2013, we rebuilt the kitchen and grew from a coffee shop into a proper brunch restaurant.

The food has always started in the same place: what we’d want to eat ourselves. Good ingredients, generous plates, proper coffee, and hash browns that have become more talked about than planned.

The name comes from Sanskrit — moksha means liberation. It was a small idea at the start. It still fits.

We’ve got a close-knit, long-standing team, with many people here for years. That kind of continuity matters. You can feel it in the food, the service, and the way the place runs on a busy Saturday.
