Trading Post Coffee Brighton

Trading Post Coffee Brighton – The Lanes and North Laine

Trading Post Brighton opened in Brighton in 2017 and since then has become one of the city’s go-to for coffee, with five coffee houses across Brighton and Hove and voted among the best brunches in Brighton and Hove at the 2025 BRAVOS.

The independent coffee house group has locations in the Lanes, North Laine, at Brighton Station, outside Churchill Square and on Western Road, as well as locations outside of Brighton, in nearby Chichester, Horsham, Lewes and Worthing. Their signature coffee is hand-roasted by their second-generation Italian roaster. Each cafe combines rustic charm with a thoroughly modern menu that satisfies the thriving cafe culture’s demand for quality.

Three city venues | Trading Post Brighton

There are five Trading Post Coffee Brighton shops, all handily located in the main shopping areas of the city. The first and original can be found on Ship Street, it offers plenty of outside seating in the summer and two floors of seating inside. The second to open in 2019 is on Kensington Gardens, this quirky building is a people-watching paradise. But the real gem of Kensington Gardens is the rooftop terrace with spectacular views over the top of the North Laine. In 2020, the Sydney Street roastery opened, then followed by a coffee house at Brighton Station, the Pod outside Churchill Square and lastly, the Trading Post Coffee Roasters coffee house on Western Road opened in early 2024.
