Independent coffee & cake in Brighton
Brighton and Hove has one of the densest independent coffee scenes on the south coast, and almost none of it belongs to a chain. The city roasts a lot of what it drinks: Pelicano, Redroaster, Small Batch, 17 Grams, Wolfox and Coffee at 33 all run their own roasters within the city, while The Milk Shed works out of a former dairy in Kemptown. Around them sits a layer of small, owner-run espresso bars like Triple Point, Dandy and Ease that champion nearby Sussex roasters such as Skylark, Pharmacie and Murmuration.
The cake and bakes side is just as serious. Triple Point, Komodo and Coffee at 33 bake on site, Coffee at 33 is known for its pastéis de nata, and Marwood in the Lanes has built a reputation on oversized slices of cake in a room full of bric-a-brac. The four areas worth walking are the North Laine for roasters and minimalist bars, the Lanes for tucked-away espresso spots, Kemptown for roastery cafes, and Hove for neighbourhood places like 44 Poets and Small Batch.
