Neeko | Speciality Coffee, Cakes and Matcha

You'll find Neeko tucked away on Duke Street, where the North Laine bleeds into the quieter bits of central Brighton. It's the kind of place that gets busy because word spreads—locals know what's up. The coffee is handled properly here, none of that burnt stuff you get elsewhere, and if you're matcha-curious rather than a committed drinker, they'll sort you out without pretension. Their cakes rotate regularly and actually taste like they've been made by someone who cares, which matters more than you'd think.
