Pelicano, roasting in Brighton since 2014, anchors Hove's small but purposeful scene. Unhurried brunch spots like Cafe des Couleurs treat the coffee menu as seriously as the food.
Worth going out of your way
Good if you're nearby
Seasonal brunch done properly, in a cafe that gives the coffee menu equal care. Worth the trip when you want a long, unhurried morning.
A North Laine neighbourhood spot that keeps it simple on purpose: two signature coffees, done well. The mocha is genuinely one of the better ones in the city.
