Sofi’s CoffeeHouse

You'll find Sofi's tucked away on Portland Road in Hove, the kind of place that feels like it's been there forever because locals actually want it to be. Walk in and you're met with the sort of no-nonsense café energy that's become rare—good coffee that doesn't come with a lecture, pastries that actually taste like something, and a vibe that's neither trying too hard nor phoning it in. The 4.8 rating from nearly 200 reviews isn't accident; people keep coming back because Sofi's does the fundamentals right and doesn't need to shout about it.
