Starfish & Coffee

the prince tribute in the name tells you everything about starfish & coffee's personality. this isn't your standard brighton caffeine stop. tucked into egremont place, it's the kind of independent that makes you forget chain coffee exists for a while. regulars here aren't just buying fuel for their commute. they're getting beans roasted with actual intention, milk steamed to proper microfoam, cups that taste like someone cares about what they're serving. you can feel it in how the barista pulls each shot, the way conversations happen naturally across the counter. brighton has plenty of coffee shops fighting for attention. but when 702 google reviewers give you a 4.6, you're doing something right. something that has locals walking past three other places to get here instead. the coffee speaks for itself, warm ceramic in your hands, that first sip reminding you why independent matters.
