Elate Cafe Restaurant

Elate Cafe Restaurant is a café and restaurant at 21 Marine Drive in Rottingdean, Brighton, with a focus on carefully prepared coffee, tea and straightforward food. The setting is designed for coffee enthusiasts, food lovers and creatives, with a relaxed café atmosphere suited to a morning stop, lunch or an afternoon break.

Drinks are central to the offering. Elate serves organic, fair-trade tea and coffee, alongside a range of hot and iced drinks. The approach also extends to the ingredients used for food, with local dairy suppliers and bakeries contributing to the café’s supply. The menu includes both savoury and sweet choices, giving the venue a broad role across the day rather than limiting it to coffee and cake.

Breakfast, lunch and snacks are all part of the offer. The food style is casual and accessible, while the emphasis on quality service and carefully sourced drinks gives the café a considered feel. It suits a quiet coffee, a light meal or an informal catch-up without requiring a formal restaurant setting.

Seating is available inside and on the patio. On sunny days, the outdoor area provides an alternative place to enjoy a drink or something to eat, while the indoor café offers a comfortable option in less settled weather. Free Wi-Fi and plenty of power outlets make the space practical for visitors who need to spend some time with a laptop or other device.

With its mix of all-day café food, organic fair-trade drinks, indoor seating and outdoor space, Elate Cafe Restaurant works for breakfast, lunch, an afternoon snack or a coffee-led pause in Rottingdean.
