Bread & Milk

You'll find yourself on one of North Laine's best-kept stretches, where Bread & Milk has quietly become the place regulars actually want to queue for. The sourdough is the real deal—properly fermented, with that satisfying crust and open crumb—and they're not messing about with the coffee either. It's the kind of café that makes you realise how spoilt we are in Brighton for proper bakery-cafés, where people are genuinely excited about what's in the window rather than just after an Instagram moment.
