The brigadeiros are the main event in The Lanes, and the espresso holds its own alongside them.

The espresso is better than a Brazilian sweet shop has any right to produce.

What we love

  • Brazilian brigadeiros, handmade on-site
  • Hot chocolate given the same attention as the coffee
  • Espresso that registers above the neighbourhood average in a room that isn't selling itself on coffee
  • Pool Valley address, one of The Lanes' quieter corners

The Milk Shed Coffee Roasters★★★ Purist

The roaster is in the room, live, while you order. Get the Yirgacheffe as a filter and take a bag of the same lot on the way out.

17GRAMS Brighton★★★ Purist

The only working roastery in Brighton, tucked into The Lanes with a proper filter menu behind it. Order the V60.

Trading Post Coffee Roasters★★★ Purist

Pick Ship Street or Sydney Street. At both, a three-generation Master Roaster lineage and competition baristas are behind the bar, and the roast is happening in front of you.
