Cloud 9
About
Cloud 9 Brighton is a charming bakery that has been delighting locals and tourists alike since 2010. Nestled on 11 York Place, the shop offers an irresistible range of handmade cakes, cupcakes, and specialty desserts that cater to every palate. Whether you’re looking for a classic birthday cake, a whimsical themed creation, or a vegan‑friendly indulgence, Cloud 9’s extensive collection is sure to satisfy. The shop’s warm, inviting atmosphere is complemented by lively music and a friendly staff that makes every visit feel personalized. From classic buttercream wraps to innovative chocolate‑drip designs, each cake is crafted fresh on the day, ensuring both visual flair and unparalleled flavour. The bakery is especially proud of its gluten‑free and vegan options, allowing those with dietary restrictions to enjoy equally decadent treats. Their cupcakes come in a variety of sizes and flavours, making them a popular choice for coffee shops, events and anyone craving a quick bite. The store also offers an online ordering platform for customers who prefer to shop from home, with convenient collection at the shop or a modest £7 delivery fee for orders within a three‑mile radius. The collection‑only policy keeps the shop streamlined, though customers are encouraged to visit during quieter hours—late mornings or early evenings—when the bakery is less busy and staff can provide extra attention. Peak times are during the summer months, when the bakery attracts tourists exploring Brighton’s vibrant seafront, but the shops remain welcoming year‑round. Local residents choose Cloud 9 for every celebration, from birthdays to corporate events, enjoying everything from a humble box of cupcakes to a majestic multi‑tiered bride‑to‑be cake.
