Pelicano Coffee Co.

pelicano does the basics with a conviction that's harder to find than it sounds. sydney street is already one of those brighton stretches where independent businesses tend to hold their ground, and this place fits that logic well. what you get here isn't complicated: coffee that's been thought about, served in a spot that locals have quietly made a habit of. no grand claims, no concept to explain. the well-regarded standing it's built up in brighton and hove didn't come from novelty, it came from consistency. if you're working your way through the north laine area on a weekday morning, sydney street is a reasonable place to stop, and pelicano is the reasonable reason to do it.
