It’s been six years since my last post about the speciality coffee scene in Brighton<\/a> and I’ve been meaning to do an update for some time. One of the Brighton and Hove coffee spots that has long been on my list is Pharmacie Coffee Roasters<\/a>, whose coffee I’ve enjoyed on many previous occasions, but whose Hove roastery only opens to the public on Saturdays. As I made my recent visit to Brighton and Hove during midweek, hoping that it would be quieter, Pharmacie was out, however. As was Redroaster<\/a>, a speciality coffee spot and all-day eatery, which re-opened, post-lockdown, two days after my visit.
Nonetheless, I was able to visit several new-to-me coffee shops in Brighton and Hove during the day I was in town, all of which were open for customers who wanted to drink in \u2014 at a suitable distance \u2014 as well as takeaway.<\/p>\n

Wolf\u00f8x Lab
<\/a>I came across Wolf\u00f8x while strolling down the lovely Western Road in Hove. There were a few people enjoying their coffee in the morning sun at the tables on the pavement, but it wasn’t too busy inside so I ordered my piccolo and took a seat in one of the comfy yellow armchairs. The cafe is beautifully decorated with a gorgeous espresso machine, interiors brightened with pops of yellow and plants lining the back wall: it was a very relaxing place to enjoy a cup of coffee.<\/p>\n

The coffee is roasted in house \u2014 as a Wolves FC fan, I probably should have asked for the Mr W\u00f8lf blend, but my piccolo came with the house espresso blend, Mr F\u00f8x. There was also a single-origin and a decaf on the menu, and bags of beans for sale. My coffee was very good too: smooth, sweet and with great latte art. Meanwhile, the brunch at the neighbouring Six<\/a>, which has the same owners, looked fab, and I found out later that there was another Wolf\u00f8x just steps from my hotel<\/a> \u2014 the restaurant at the roastery<\/a> \u2014 but I’ll have to save both for next time.

17 Grams<\/a>
Formerly known as The Plant Room, 17 Grams is located in the Brighton Lanes, just off North Street on Meeting House Lane. Inside, the bright, airy and quirkily decorated cafe has a handful of physically distanced tables, while there is some more seating outside if you don’t mind being dwarfed by a giant Alice in Wonderland (she had obviously eaten the cake) on the mural on Hannington Lane.

It’s fair to say that I came for the Allpress coffee but stayed for the veggie\/vegan brunch. After ordering at the counter, I took a seat inside, admiring the colourful and quirky d\u00e9cor. My piccolo was excellent, as was the food. I went for the cornbread waffles, which came with avocado mousse, hummus and smoky tempeh, a delicious and filling brunch. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming too.

Coffee@33<\/a>My final coffee stop for the day was at Coffee@33 on Trafalgar street at the north end of North Laine. After taking in the monochrome d\u00e9cor, my eyes were drawn to the past\u00e9is de nata<\/i> behind the counter and I ordered one while considering my next move. As coffee shops have been re-opening, I’ve tended to stick to espresso-based drinks, partly because my home filter brews are better than my piccolos, and partly because I haven’t wanted to take up too much of baristas’ time when there’s a queue. Coffee@33 wasn’t too busy, however, and I had also spotted that there was a natural-processed Ethiopian coffee \u2014which I often enjoy \u2014 available as a hand-brewed filter coffee. I took this as a sign and thus ordered my first post-lockdown, drink-in pourover.

While waiting for the coffee, I made short work of the pastel de nata<\/i>: creamy custard encased in crisp, flaky pastry. I also chatted with Am\u00e8 as he brewed my coffee through the Kalita Wave. Unsurprisingly, central Brighton coffee shops \u2014 with fewer office workers and tourists \u2014 have been much quieter over the past few months, although things are starting to rebound. During my visit, several other customers \u2014 most of them clearly loyal regulars \u2014 came in, and everyone received a warm welcome. As for the coffee, it was great \u2014 I could smell the heady notes that natural Ethiopian coffees hit so well long before the carafe reached my table, and it tasted just as good.
