A dog-friendly cafe in Brighton Marina praised for its breakfast bagels, pancakes (the Savoury One) and Bounty Hunter shake, plus free wifi, board games and a resident golden retriever called Bandit. Popular for brunch, remote working and socialising dogs, with a small gallery attached and a Queer Lunch Club event.

What locals say
Laughing Dog in the Marina is top tier. They’re also (unsurprisingly) dog friendly so there’s normally loads of cute pups in…
If it’s raining there are plenty of buses 1x, 7, big lemon (don’t get a 21, I think it probably loops the globe twice between the Marina and the city 😀). I often walk into Rottingdean in the other direction or head out onto the south downs. Very different vibe to Hove though, the Laughing Dog is a nice place but the only place I go regularly in the marina other than the gym and Asda… If you look for a place here make sure you get one with parking, and don’t leave your bike outside, security is really good but the salt air will trash it.
Laughing Dog down in Brighton Marina is hands down the best cafe I’ve found here. Their food and drinks are great, and they all love dogs so your pup will probably get a pet or two from people. Strongly recommend the Savoury One pancakes, and/or the Bounty Hunter…
The Laughing Dog at the marina is the perfect dog friendly cafe with a gallery as an added bonus. Nowhere Man for great pancakes with your dog. Metrodeco in Kemptown is dog friendly. White Cliffs Cafe in saltdean for a coffee and a sea view. On the seafront in Brighton Lucky Beach for brilliant burgers with your puppy.…
