My housemates and I love Blake?s, and go almost daily. Super lovely staff, quick service, nice fresh bread and produce options. We drink about a flat of iced coffees and week- and they always keep it replenished for us!

Definitely won't be getting a parcel delivered here. Unfriendly, unhelpful and rude, all in a quiet way. However, I did receive my parcel no problem.

Worst post office in Brighton. The service is horrendous, extremely slow, the "customer assistants" are always extremely rude and this comes from someone who worked in retail for over 8 years in my youth and believe me the standards of customer service have slipped terribly especially in Brighton. Don't expect to spend less than 30 mins in there even just to purchase something never mind actually do any post. During the winter and due to the energy crisis. They refused to cash energy vouchers I was awarded by the council twice until I mentioned they would be reported then all of a sudden they could cash it and put the money on my electricity meter. The woman in there for some reason feels very threatened by me and always makes an appearance whenever I enter the store from the flat upstairs to just watch, snarl and stare at me and not even help her partner get the que down. The last time I went in there the rudeness was too much. This is supposed to be my local post office and I can't use it and with hidden disabilities it makes it very difficult to travel all the way into town. However I would rather do that than ever spend my hard earned money in that place or use any of their services as a self employed person also they have lost all of my business with their stinking attitude. It's lack of customer service like this that is killing the high street also and pushing people online. Experiences like this are too common in Brighton especially for me and the reason I pretty much do as much of my business online and get virtually everything delivered. In a cost of living crisis do businesses like this actually expect people to pay for bad service on top of overly/increasingly priced merch with ever dwindling and harder to find pennies? I wish them all the luck in the world but until this place is under new management I will not set foot in there again. Post offices like this are also contributing to the downfall of Royal Mail. I miss the 80's when Post offices and consumer/shopping where positive experiences. I guess this is a thing of a past now *smdh. I don't like leaving negative reviews however I have hit my last nerve with this place after being humiliated for sport the last time I went in for having the audacity to bring in 2 returns. It's now taken me 3 weeks to process a return thanks to this post office and their horrendous service. The good people of Hollingdean deserve better than this and that is what compelled me to write this review. To the owners of the store Fix UP you are letting your local community down just stop it, we are all tired especially after the virus, nobody has time for bad attitudes and service like this these days.

This is the best convenience store that I've ever lived by, the people who work there are really great. One time I asked if they were going to stock jalapeño cheese again or if it was there and I'd missed it, because I mistakenly remembered buying it there before. (It was actually Mulberrys across the road that I'd bought it from and they've stopped selling it). He said they don't sell it but can order some in, which isn't something I would ever have expected a shop to do for me! A few days later the cheese was there in the cheese fridge and I bought it. :)It also has a post-office section which is much better than any other places that I've gone into as other ones often shut their post-office area at midday or the very early afternoon.Ps. The shop has just been renovated.

A very friendly shop, with a post office counter. A wide selection of food, snacks and drinks available and they cater for dietary requirements. Staff are always ready to assist, if you need any help and welcome you with a smile. Definitely recommend this shop if wanting some high quality food or snacks.

Brilliant shop with brilliant polite members of staff, probably the best staff I've ever met. Had a very nice re-fit which will boost them for the future

They don't take royal mail prepaid packages, expect you to re buy them to turn over a profit while being incredibly rude. Took the same package up the road and they accepted it straight away
