17GRAMS in Brighton and Hove

Some bizarre and unfounded reviews on here… Honestly always fantastic coffee and a great addition to the high street. I’ve always found the staff to be great and very friendly. Great sweet treats as well. Does on occasion get busy at peak times but what do you expect as it’s great food and drink all around. Another bonus for being dog friendly. Keep doing what you’re doing guys!

Excellent coffee in a light and airy, dog-friendly atmosphere! Upbeat and professional staff. The reason behind my 3-star review is the same issue I presented to the cashier when paying: a 'card only' payment policy send a terribly negative and exclusionary social message. I am lucky enough to have a bank account with access to a contactless card and online payment system, but adopting a 'no cash' policy sends the message that those who might not have access to the banking system are fully unwelcome at this establishment. Elderly patrons who pay with cash, those with autism or numeracy disabilities, people on a fixed income who live on cash based payments, or newly arrived immigrant populations without access to the banking system are therefore barred and willfully excluded from 17 Grams based on this policy! Your messaging needs to be reevaluated on the basis of social equity and fairness to the local community. Since I'm visiting a friend in Portslade, I visited several other shops on Boundary Road the same day (including the pet store, hardware shop, and another coffee shop across the road) all of which accept cash payments... so the 'safety and security' justification for not accepting cash falls totally flat: Not one other business I encountered is doing it. Please consider the extremely negative social message this sends those who might be less able to enjoy the luxury of access to traditional banking.... you are purposefully excluding and discriminating against a large part of your local market share in Portslade. Thank you!

Wouldn’t serve me at 7:53 despite two staff being present the machine being on and the doors being wide open. Obviously they don’t want to stay in business. If they were sensible they could have served me and put the transaction through the till 7 minutes later. Edit; The reason I left a bad review is you didn’t ask me to wait you told me the machine wasn’t switched on (lie) you are in hospitality so maybe try at least to be hospitable to your guests. I wouldn’t have had an issue waiting if you had communicated properly.

Pleasant little cafe for a breakfast stop. Had the normal breakfast and enjoyed the thick cut bacon and good quality sausage. The menu did say it came with winter pesto but it was a bit of a shame that it had managed to get on every single piece of food on the plate as would have preferred it on the side. Besides that the food and coffee was good, reasonable enough price and the staff were pleasant and accommodating.

Lovely coffee and lovely staff. When i was choosing some beans to take home, the woman working there was very helpful. On a different day when I ordered some batch brew the man was really keen and lovely and was giving me advice on where to find good aeropress recipes. When im next passing by I will definitely be picking up some more beans.

Such a fab cafe!!! Came to Brighton for the marathon weekend and we all wish we had a cafe like this on our doorstep at home! Coffee was gorgeous and the breakfasts were all great, one of the best breakfasts I’ve had in ages!! Staff were lovely and a really nice environment.

Arrr, mateys, gather 'round and listen to me tale of the finest barista to ever sail the seven seas! Now, ye may think I be speakin' in jest, but mark me words when I tell ye that Phoenix be the most skilled swashbuckler behind the espresso machine ye'll ever lay eyes upon. Me hearties, let me paint ye a picture. Picture yerself walkin' into a quaint little café tucked away in a cozy cove. The air be filled with the aroma of freshly roasted beans and the salty breeze of adventure. And there, standin' at the helm of the counter, be Phoenix, with a twinkle in his eye and a smile as bright as the treasure of a thousand plundered galleons. From the moment ye place yer order, ye know ye be in for a treat. Phoenix handles his tools with the precision of a seasoned swordsman, grindin' the beans with the finesse of a master mariner chartin' his course through treacherous waters. And when it comes to brewin', well, let me tell ye, there be no match for the concoctions he concocts. Whether ye be seekin' a simple cup o' joe to start yer day or a complex concoction to tantalize yer taste buds, Phoenix be the man for the job. His lattes be smoother than the calmest seas, his cappuccinos frothier than a stormy squall, and his espresso shots pack a punch that'll wake even the sleepiest landlubber from their slumber. But it ain't just his skills that make Phoenix the best barista in all the world. Nay, it be his heart as big as the ocean itself. He be not just servin' drinks, but spreadin' joy and camaraderie to all who darken his doorstep. Aye, he be a true pirate of the bean, bringin' people together with every sip. So if ever ye find yerself in need of a pick-me-up or a taste of adventure, look no further than 17 Grams. For there be no doubt in me mind that Phoenix be the best barista to ever hoist a steaming mug in all the seven seas. Raise yer cups high, me hearties, and give three cheers for Phoenix, the captain of caffeination! Arrr! 🏴‍☠️☕️

Terrible experience here. I ordered an oat latte, was give one with cows milk and when the girl who made it realized she made a mistake the ‘owner’ said he’d have to charge me for another one, even though the mistake was theirs. So dismissive of my rights as a customer and just plain rude (possibly racist)

Ordered coffee only to be told it was card only. I asked if this was displayed on the door. To which the rude assistant replied no. To which I replied I'll go somewhere else. Which I did and enjoyed a lovely cup of coffee paid for in cash.

This cute coffee shop has stolen my heart. The coffee is always served with precision and a touch of love. The presentation is top-notch, making each cup a delightful experience. The menu is a winner with fantastic lunch options. And let's talk about those cakes – utterly delicious! But my recent discovery and new obsession are the banana pancakes. They are a taste bud sensation – you've got to try them! The cozy ambiance, friendly staff, and consistently superb quality have turned 17 Grams into my haven for catching up with friends. If you're a coffee enthusiast or just looking for a fantastic place to unwind, this is it. Can't recommend it enough! ☕🍰🍌

What a lovely place. Super friendly staff and a friendly atmosphere. The food looked amazing and will definitely try it out on my next visit

Nice coffee and cake and always crowded. As the central serving island is large & has offerings on every surface there is nowhere to stand and drink coffee when all the seats are taken. I know it's always busy but needing to ask to have the table cleaned shouldn't be the case, let's hope that was an exception. Update: Really delightful staff today & so helpful. Update 2 : Still the biz! Update 3: It still is! (Ps - the coffee's great) Update 4 : still good

Excellent food options, lots of great veggie choices. Really enjoyed meal and lovely service.

I assume that photos talk loud enough to say that every single bit of mushroom toast is delicious🤤 I have only one allergy - I can not drink bad coffee so that place is perfect as coffee&food&service is top-notch!

Had the BEST fry up ever at 17 grams today. To good to even be called a fry up. Such care was taken with everything on the plate. It goes without saying that the coffees damm delicious too!

Best coffee I’ve had in a long time. Perfect flat white. And staff are amazing: friendly, enthusiastic and welcoming. I’ll definitely visit again.

Always have to go in for a coffee and food when we visit family. Great coffee, exceptional food and friendly staff. Vegy mushrooms on toast were amazing on Saturday, thank you chef.

Best cafe in town. I always keep returning for their great food and coffee.

Came in to meet friends for a coffee and some cake. All were enjoyed. Drinking water on tap for you to help yourself to. Good coffee.

Cute cafe selling plant based breakfast, chai tea, have oat milk, maca latte, freshly ground coffee etc. Quiet, chilled music, modern decor with two cute olive trees. Great service.

Incredibly delicious coffee, fantastic sausage roll (made on location!), and wonderful, friendly and helpful baristas. Completely felt at home on my first visit and will definitely be back next time I'm down that way 😊🤗 Batch brew is complex and scrummy, espresso full bodied and flavourful 🤌

Really friendly staff brought us lovely coffee and pastries in just a few minutes. The place is very welcoming, clean and comfortable. It's fairly cosy but they've certainly made great use of the space they have. Prices are totally fair for the excellent quality. Nothing not to love for a Saturday morning pit stop! We didn't have hot food this time but we saw some being delivered that looked and smelled delicious - definitely looking forward to trying that soon!

The team here are fantastic and so is the working environment. Like an idiot whilst working i forgot completely about my coffee and it went cold. I had asked for it to be simply nuked in a microwave or hot air added for me, and the staff kindly agreed to make me a fresh one which they didn't need to do. They've got over and above. Really appreciate it and the stress free working environment. Thank you!

Lovely cappuccino and croissant

Had the best banana pancakes of my life at 17GRAMS. Everyone was lovely, the vibe was great. Next time I’m in Hove I’ll be making a bee-line to this lovely place.

I don't normally leave reviews but this had to be an exception. I had the most delicious brunch here, with a nod to Mexican flavours and would highly recommend. I often find brunch options quite boring and samey but I'd definitely come back here for breaky. Excellent coffee and friendly staff too.

I love this place and we come here almost every time we come to Brighton. Such a friendly, welcoming team and the most delicious food menu (great veggie options) and coffee. The veggie breakfast and iced chai latte is my go-to (the iced mocha is also 👌🏻)

Best brunch in portslade - great range of tasty food, lovely staff and cool modern atmosphere

Absolutely delicious brunch menu and coffee. Will come back often.

Nice coffee, delicious vegan cakes, atmosphere is pretty chill, ideal place to sit & chat or do a bit of remote working in the daytime

Best place to get brunch in Portslade (coming from a local)

I may arrive in wrong time as the place was busy and all I ask was flat white coffee to take away, first I been paid and been told to wait out till my coffer be ready...I was waiting almost 30 minutes for Very average coffee.... First and last time Sorry guy's I followed recommendations and wanted to give it a go... Best of luck!

Great coffee and brunch place. There are lots of really interesting options for brunch, good size portions and good quality ingredients and cooking. Impressive for this area especially.

Delicious freshly roasted specialty coffee

I only had cash on me, but very disapointed to find out that they dont except legal tender. This just does not make any sence.

This place is wonderful. Sweet pink haired lady took great care of us both times and everyone else on staff was also very kind. Highly recommend the veggie English breakfast - super tasty miso portobello and even tastier homemade baked beans.

Delicious gluten free breakfast & fab coffee!

A regular here for coffee. Haven't had brunch there yet but the menu looks good...

Key element in the improving Boundary Road, very decent coffee, good cake selection, vegan and gluten free options, friendly helpful staff.

Good quality of food and coffee ! Staffs are very friendly love this place

Very nice food and very nice place to go with friends

My husband and I happened upon this place. We're new to Portslade. Lydia's kindness and attentive hospitality is what makes us frequent this cafe. Such a great atmosphere. Coffee is also good.

My local - Great atmosphere, always have locally sourced baked goods, good coffee roasts and friendly staff.

Nice cake great coffee and service perfect as can be really ...

Nice coffee and good food and veggie options.

Amazing coffee, incredible food and really genuine and friendly staff. Couldn’t recommend it more :)

I'm lucky with this cafe in my neighborhood The coffees, cakes and lunches are delicious and the service always friendly.

Best vegan sausage roll I have ever had.

I had a lovely vegan (not sausage) roll and oat milk flat white to go. Great friendly atmosphere and hard working yet calm staff.

Lovely coffee . Pay by card only tho.overall nice place and I will probably go there again.

We had the breakfast here and it was absolutely delicious! Would definitely recommend it! A lot of breakfast for your money. Friendly staff and a lovely first experience and left me with a great start to my Sunday morning. Will definitely go back soon!

Coffee and a pain-au-chocolat, what better way to start the day, and to have it this nicely presented with a smile is aways welcome to, a very nice snug location for a divine coffee.

Best coffee at Portslade... needs a wait tho...

We called in here on a damp dreary day over xmas, with the intention of grabbing a coffee only. However the cake display 'shouted out' to us and we added cake to the coffee. Delicious. It was quiet, being early morning and during holiday period but the place had a great little buzz and atmosphere with staff and customers. If we should find ourselves in this neck of the woods again we'll detour here before heading home. It may have been damp and dreary, but our spirits were lifted after our visit.

Great coffee, friendly staff. Had a brunch the other day which was delicious. A gem of boundary road 💎

Friendly and helpful staff Tasty plant based food Comfy seats and pleasant environment

Amazing food, coffee and service. Will be a regular here!

Very nice place with friendly staff

Very welcoming staff and friendly smile and good service 😀

Lovely little cafe with modern ambience, friendly staff, and improvised preparations of standard items like beans, hummus

Always nice , great coffee ; nice staff

Great coffee , great staff. Never had a bad coffee from here and the prices are pretty reasonable for the quality of coffee you get. They are pretty particular about how they make it, even weighing the ground coffee to ensure it is spot on before making it. Staff always friendly and chatty. I've never tried the pastries etc but they certainly look appealing and they have just started doing soup for the winter.

I came in via a recommendation from a friend, and I was not disappointed. Lovely service with a nice clean shop floor. They just re opened the kitchen and I got the breakfast burrito and it was absolutely delicious. The quality the coffee as-well was really good, and they swap out there roasts regularly. I would highly recommend this coffee shop :)

I just been this coffee shop, they asking all card payment, and I didn’t bring my credit card with me, they refused service, what’s stupid system!only for £5 pounds coffee…. Good luck with your business!

Awesome little cafe. Feels like you’re in the brighton lanes. Funky decor. Music and fantastic all day brunch made vegan with some of the best coffee. Highly recommended

Nice coffee, good atmosphere and good times to be had. Would have been 5 star but the location is not ideal. Sorry.

Staff are nice. Blend coffee is nice too. Good vibe and recommend to try the brownie. They also sell some Hario products and different beans of her brand or other guest brands.

I've walked past 17 Grams almost every day for ages but today was my first visit. Very nice. Quick friendly service and a great selection of vegan cakes. I'll certainly go back. Highly recommended!

Lovely breakfast well cooked and very tasty

Nice small little coffee shop; nice strong mochas. Friendly staff, fairly central so good for meeting up with friends for short stops or longer stays.

Lovely place! The staff are friendly and the egg and bacon roll was the best I've ever had! Nice and cosy indoors too.

Lovely place but only card payments, and cakes very expensive, more so then costa .

Lovely staff and great coffee. Outside seating too.

Really good coffee and friendly staff!

We were very well looked after. Excellent coffee.

Fantastic coffee and the staff are lovely too. Great place to relax and it is clearly a favourite with the locals!

Lovely coffee and pastries. It's quite small so I've never dined in but I'm sure it's a good experience as the staff are very friendly and attentive

Great coffee, fine food, lovely location and nice staff!

Best coffee I've tried,my fav used to be Small Batch but I think this tops it.

Really enjoyed the vibe! I guess it was open or renovated recently as I don't remember noticing it before, it was pleasant discovery. They had some gorgeous cakes on display, too bad I just had lunch and couldn't try, intend to, next time 😉

Great Coffee, friendly staff, good cakes! And best of all... Dog friendly!! ❤️ My new local coffee shop for my weekly meet with my friend and our dogs!

Great iced latte and friendly service

Very good coffee only negative is they don't offer syrups for coffee such as vanilla which is my fav with a cappuchino

No cash accepted which i find very strange. The coffee is really nice but by law you are not allowed to enforce no cash policy's when cash is a tangible asset. Good luck in the future.

Probably one of the best (decaf) coffees I've had in a long time and super hot too. Why is it so hard to get hot coffee? Yeah, health & blah blah. Love all the 17 grams places 👌

Very nice coffee, friendly staff, good vibe.

Lovely to sit outside and have a fantastic coffee.

Lovely staff, my favourite Cafe in Portslade

Always found the drinks here to be nice. Tried the food today and yep just as nice as the drinks.

Oreo tiffin bar is excellent. Friendly people in a relaxed environment. Best vegi-vegan cafe on Boundary Road.

Great coffee spotlessly clean shop. Will return.

Really good coffee! Cosy and welcoming seating area.

Really great coffee and snacks!!

Open airy spacious cafe with delicious vegan menu, Lovely coffee children and dog friendly, Relaxing atmosphere, staff are brilliant, Well laid out. Modern decor, a good meeting place for friends & family, outside smoking area, Breath of fresh air for Portslade. No need to travel to town. The newest and best cafe right on our doorstep. Even have Baby cappuccino’s for kids. So enjoyable Well worth the visit

Very nice customer service.Highly recommend

Honestly it's a bit dirty My second time recently where there was food crumbs on an already pretty grubby looking sofa, and thetr were dogs sat on the other sofa. I like dog friendly cafes, but the dog should be well behaved, on a lead and on the floor not the furniture or within reach of tables or food. Very disappointing because the coffee and the food are great. Shame

Was much nicer in the other premises,walls ade bare, feels rushed and un finished!

Nice little coffee shop in a good location, shop slightly tired looking but that doesn't effect what is an overall lovely place

In Reationshps back if interested I would love Boyfriend Lance Brooks my family and friends public health dentistry and orthodontics to me today to me and we can come in Love Reationshps are interested please send me your email
