Drury in Richardson road (off New Church Road) For buying beans, the Red Roaster in St Jame's St - or better still, http://www.hasbean.co.uk )

there's bloody hundreds in Hove actually! I've made it my mission to locate the best one for lunch time coffeeness during the summer months, the best one will have:

a) decent out door tables for viewing HOTTIES walking by (failing that a decent window seat)
b) a nice mix of World Coffees so I can try something different each time
c) Cheapish Espressos for that extra KICK before going back to work
d) a selection of chocolate cakes and FRESHLY cooked muffins, not the wrapped variety....the HOMEMADE ones!

Treacle, opposite Tesco. Mighty fine cakes as well.

I know its against NSC rules to opt for a CHAIN, but Coffee Republic has two FIT Eastern European girls behind the counter, so gets my custom.
