Little Miss Piggies

brighton and hove has one of the densest concentrations of independent specialty coffee in the uk, which means the bar is genuinely high and the locals know it. kemptown, the stretch of brighton running east toward the sea along st james's street, draws a crowd that tends to have opinions about what's in their cup. little miss piggies sits right in that mix at 85 st james's st, and it's built a real reputation among people who live and work in the area. you don't stumble across a place like this by accident, but once you know it's there, it becomes a reliable anchor on that particular stretch of the street. worth heading to on a weekday morning before the neighbourhood fully wakes up.
