LOAM Brighton

Proper third-wave coffee spot on Gloucester Road where the espresso actually tastes like something and the pastries don't disappoint.

You're walking down Gloucester Road in Kemptown and you need proper coffee—the kind where someone's actually dialled in the grinder, not just shoved beans through a machine. LOAM gets it. It's the sort of place where locals queue without checking their phones, where the staff know what they're talking about, and the whole operation feels considered without being precious about it. The kind of neighbourhood café that's become genuinely indispensable, tucked into this stretch where independent shops still matter and people actually care about what they're selling you.

Known for

  • Consistently well-pulled espresso shots
  • Quality pastries and breakfast offerings
  • Knowledgeable baristas who actually care
  • Third-wave coffee ethos without the pretension
