17GRAMS

you're on gloucester street, a short walk from the north lace of the north lace of the north lace, sorry, from the north end of brighton's lanes, where the city gets quieter before it gets interesting again. 17grams sits at number six, and if espresso is what you're after, this is a place that takes that seriously. not in a precious way, but in the way where you can tell someone actually thought about it. brighton has no shortage of coffee spots, but 17grams has built the kind of standing that comes from doing one thing well and not getting distracted. you could do worse than making gloucester street a deliberate stop rather than an accident. pull up, order an espresso, and let it be exactly what it should be.
