Cafe ELKA

You'll find yourself on a quiet stretch of Hove where the main event is actually inside—this is the kind of place where people linger over a second coffee without feeling rushed. The team clearly knows their craft, pulling shots that taste like they've actually thought about it, and the 4.7 rating isn't just people being generous with stars. It's the sort of cafe that rewards a weekday visit when you can actually chat to whoever's behind the counter, the kind of spot that locals have already claimed as their own. Walk in and you'll clock why it matters to the neighbourhood.
