Why Moksha Caffe in Brighton is among UK's best breakfast spots
Moksha Caffe first opened in 2007, coming from a "humble coffee shop to a food-led place for breakfast and lunch".
As explained on its website, the café is run by Oliver de Trafford, who has a background in hospitality, originally trained and worked as a chef.
With a dream of running his own restaurant, he left his job as a manager for a high street coffee chain to set up Moksha with the help of mum Kate and stepdad Karl.
After a few years in business, a second Moksha was considered; however, instead, the kitchen was rebuilt and Moksha was turned into a fully functioning restaurant, which is when its cooked breakfast menu was introduced.
On the café, Rob Crossan says: "More suited to a casual, lingering brunch than an early breakfast, Moksha is as adept with its cocktails as it is with its cooked breakfasts.
"Try a cold brew martini to pep yourself up before tackling its Big Breakfast, where the beans and hash browns are homemade and you can swap out the orange juice for a ginger and apple shot."
