St James's Street Coffee

"A takeaway-only pocket in Kemptown that turns out flat whites and cappuccinos good enough to benchmark against anything in Brighton. Tiny footprint, serious execution."

What we love

• •Espresso-based drinks are the focus, and they nail them consistently
• •Flat whites draw particular praise, including for milk temperature and texture
• •4.9 stars across 61 reviews points to reliable form, not just a good day
• •Neighbourhood spot with an independent feel, not a chain playbook
