Our Story
"We roast every week, in small batches, because freshness isn't a feature — it's the whole point."
Hollow & Vine sits in the heart of Brighton's North Laine, roasting single-origin beans in-house each week so that freshness and traceability are never an afterthought. We built the space to be somewhere worth staying in — plants, natural light, no pressure — and the menu to match: pour-overs and cold brew alongside sourdough toasties and seasonal plates.
Every bag of beans we sell, every cup we serve, carries the full story of where it came from and how it got here. That means knowing the farm, the altitude, the harvest season, and the hands involved at every stage — not as a marketing exercise, but because we genuinely believe it changes how the coffee tastes when you know.

Our values
Our beans never sit on a shelf gathering days. We roast small batches in-house on a weekly cycle so every cup you drink — and every bag you buy — is as fresh as coffee can be.
We source single-origin beans and can tell you the farm name, the region, the altitude, and the harvest date. Farm-to-cup traceability is not a talking point here — it shapes every buying decision we make.
A growing number of Brighton's independent restaurants and cafés choose Hollow & Vine beans for their menus. Their trust is earned through consistency, freshness, and the knowledge that we stand behind every batch we supply.
Our brewing workshops are led by the people who actually roast the coffee — so the knowledge goes deeper than technique. You leave understanding the full chain: from processing method to grind, from dose to cup. No scripts, just conversation.
A word from our customers
The best cup of coffee I've had in Brighton, full stop. Knowing exactly where the beans come from makes every sip feel different.
I did the brewing workshop on a whim and came away genuinely understanding what I'd been doing wrong for years. Worth every minute.
