MAKA Kitchen & Cafe - Hove

My father is a gourmet icecreamchef, and this would be a an icecream place I'd happily take him too. In my opinion best in Hove, possibly in Bright with Gusto coming close second. Amazing flavours I had scones and jam and staff friendly. Highly recommend

Decided to try Maka ice cream after the positive feedback on social media Treated my12 year old who went for 2 scoops - jaffa cake and belgium chocolate.. Generous portions for under £6. Staff were friendly. Marrocco's have serious competition and there was no queue. Will come again soon.

MAKA is an absolute gem! Tucked away just steps from Hove Seafront, this little cafe is the perfect spot for a great coffee and homemade treats. Their pastries are fresh, and I love that you can feel how everything is homemade - and seriously delicious! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming too! Highly recommend!

If you want top quality ice cream, made with organic cream and milk, just a stones throw from the seafront - this is the place to go! A lovely selection of flavours, all the classics but also some unique and tasty ones like Jaffa cake, sour cherry, clotted cream & jam, tiramisu etc I spent years queuing at Marrocco's and I'm so glad I discovered this place just metres away as in my opinion the taste and quality is better and there's never a ridiculous queue. There's a nice selection of savory and sweet pastries & treats too and all ran by a lovely couple. You will not be disappointed

Holly Ocean!! Amazing baked goods, I've been coming here only recently, and everytime I try something new. All so far, very delicious and prefect baking!! Well done team!

Beautiful café tucked away from the busy seafront, run by wonderful people with superb ice cream, in my opinion better than Marrocco’s which is a stone’s throw away. Great selection of ice cream and gelato, with updated flavours. If you are on Hove seafront and want ice cream, try Maka unless you fancy queuing for 10+ minutes to receive the same flavours each and every time. Maka also has delicious pastries and coffee! Thank you :)

The lady running this hidden gem is such a sweetheart. She makes delicious Polish baked goods. I tried a brioche bun filled with berry compote. It was delicious. The pastry to fruit ratio was on point and the filling wasn’t overly sweet. I’ll definitely be back to try more.

A little gem by the beach. The owners are so friendly and the homemade cakes are great, including vegan options. The coffee is the best around. It gets busy so time your visit well!
