Coffee@33 - Brighton

OK OK I know - this blog is meant to be about London but hey, some would say Brighton is "London by sea" (oh how true Brighton-ites will hate that!).  Anyway in the interests of making sure you always have access to premium coffee and tasty treats I thought I would alert you to a fantastic cafe we stumbled upon (literally, those pavements in Brighton need some work...) a few weekends ago.  Coffee@33 has that pared down Fernandez and Wells-ish look that works so well for this sort of place and on a chilly Brighton Saturday it was really warm and welcoming.  They use Square Mile beans and made tip-top flat whites and cortados (I sampled both, several times over the weekend) plus their snacks were amazing including a sort of coconuty jammy thing that had that wonderful childhood-familiarity that makes eating cakes such a primal experience (well for me at least).  So if ever you are in the vicinity of the train station, about 5 minutes walk down Trafalgar Street to be exact then definitely make sure you visit these guys - this place rocks.

  1. Sounds great, but at which address?
    I gather from rave reviews at Yelp, http://www.yelp.co.uk/biz/coffee-33-brighton) that the address is
    33 Trafalgar St
    Brighton, East Sussex BN1 4ED

    Sounds like a worthy addition to your Central London Coffee Survival Guide Map.

  2. Yes sorry - should have been more specific. They don't have a website which is always handy to link to. Thanks for putting it on here!

  3. I was embarassed that I'd recommended that you add a Brighton site to your Central London map (not a good fit, in retrospect). Thanks for being so understanding, and not coming back with something snarky about geographically-challenged Yanks. ;)

  4. Totally agree - Coffee@33 has made Brighton just that little bit cooler (not that it needed it!).
