Drury Tea & Coffee in Brighton and Hove

Nice establishment serving decent coffee and food. The staff are always friendly and happy to help. There are lots of coffee styles available as well as tea. There are also good food options that are made to order, as well as some pastry and other baked treats that can be heated, like croissants and sausage rolls. They have excellent non dairy milk options available, such as coconut, almond, and oat milk, to cater to any diet intolerances and preferences. There is a customer toilet, indoor and outdoor seating, and some limited on-street parking at the front of their building in Richardson rd, which falls under permit zone W in Hove. They also offer a loyalty scheme so you are able to collect stamps on your orders to earn some free goods in return for your regular custom. It's a great little coffee shop that serves good quality drink and food, and it's great to have them in the area. We tried the breakfast wrap today, and wow! Delicious 😋 Also, if you can, take your own keep cup and they will serve your coffee in it, good for the planet 👍 nice coffee and good food.

I just got a job down the road so I come here before work for a coffee and some breakfast and it’s a lovely coffee shop really nice vibe, lovely staff and lovely coffee and food! I’m very lucky to have this a minute walk from my walk! 🥰☕️

Lovely breki. Really good coffee and friendly staff. Usually plenty of dogs to pander.

Wow, a little gem, a really cozy feel, great staff & yummy food. What more could you want. 💞

Very busy community spot with nice food and drinks. The service isn't great, but it's just bad. Beware of the seagulls if you're sat outside with food!

A lovely coffee to be had here. Very relaxing sitting outside in the sunny weather. Favourite place

Good place to have breakfast and the smoothies are 10/10

Great place for coffee and cake

Great little, almost hidden, gem. So lovely for breakfast and some good coffee.

Really great coffee, and the halloumi and smashed avo on sourdough was delish. Really lovely location, too.

Mary (As in Mary's Cakes as this place is now called) was so friendly and helpful, her cakes are also delicious!

Love this place when every few weeks I meet up with my son for a coffee & catch up. In busy Hove this place is an oasis of tranquility & serves great coffee.

Great coffee! And lovely coffee shop on a gorgeous little road.. thank you too to the wonderful Steve in the repair unit who helped fix our coffee machine and did an amazing machine care debrief. Fab business!

Food was really generous portions and tasty. Lots of different teas to buy 🤗

Upped my review from 4 to 5, the food offerings have really improved in recent years and service is much more friendly 👍

Drury Tea & Coffee is such a lovely place to have a breakfast in my occasion. Food was delicious and tea or coffee is served in big cups. Lots of people going in and out for take away or taking a seat. Cozy vibe and hope to come back one day. Would recommend if you're in the neighbourhood.

Always a pleasure to visit: great coffee, food and staff

...you have put the price on the basic (mini) breakfast up over 30% recently from £6.50 to £8.50? Sorry, that's extortionate. I've been going to Drury's for years as it's handy, the staff are very pleasant, and the food is usually fine. The coffee is average: I have tasted better in other Hove establishments. I realise that good staff need reasonable wages, electric and gas has increased, rents need to be paid, etc, etc. but prices in Drury's went up earlier in the year. If there is a viable reason why you have had to hike prices this much at least put a leaflet on each table with something like "Regrettably we have...etc." Not everyone who lives in Hove is well-heeled, and many pensioners use Drury's. I am sure that plenty will probably vote with their feet. I am not adverse to paying £8.50 for a breakfast, it's the manner that it's been done: just before Xmas with no explanation. Everything else about Drury's is 4 or 5 stars, and I am only giving 2 stars because I feel that it was a poor example.

This place is always busy and it's no wonder why, the food is always incredible, it's reasonably priced and it's in a great location. Highly recommend the breakfast menu - their full English or breakfast wrap are incredible, decent eggs and meat.

My wife and I started going to The Drury early this year, and despite a couple of hiccups early on we thought we had found a cafe where we would be coming for years to come. Now I wouldn't want to put anyone off, as we have had some lovely lunches there, but we are not so keen to visit now. Over the last five visits, our order has been wrong three times, an issue for me as we mainly go down during my lunch break and the extra wait then becomes stressful. Early in the year this was amusing, it isn't now. I'd also have to suggest that the food could be hotter when presented. That is the negative side. There positives are that they serve my favourite mocha and have a wonderful selection of fresh cakes/sausage rolls/flapjacks etc, and when the food is hot it is very tasty indeed. I didn't have it today but I do particularly like their coronation chicken in a french stick which is to die for. I think that if you visit here you will more than likely have a good meal and be very happy, but remember, they may get your order wrong and hot meals may not be was hot as you would think they should be. The venue is clean and has a good ambiance. The staff are generally very friendly, but occasionally seem a bit stressed too. So on it's best days a solid 5/5, but too many other days at 3/5 so averaging out at 4/5.

Possibly the best hot chocolate in Hove

Went in on the off chance and ordered 2cheese and pickled and 2 ham and tomato baguettes, totalling £21 waiting for nearly 20 minutes only to be told they only have 3 baguettes would i expect 1 as a sandwich, yes not a problem i said, 5 minutes later I received my order, Got back home to partner opened them and unpleasantly surprised was the cheapest ham the thinnest sliced tomatoes I'd ever seen, baguettes we're something you brought from a supermarket, The cheese wasn't bad, but it was like they scraped the bottom of the jar for the pickle there just wasn't any. Sorry but for £21 for 4 rolls I expect decent food, Not something I could buy from a supermarket for a £5 with a free drink. Never again

Lovely cafe in a beautiful location, huge food variety and it’s far from your standard cafe- i try to go atleast once a year, everytime just as good as the last

Nice staff and a good menu. Had a good atmosphere and clearly a popular destination for lunch. My sandwich was very tasty.

Lovely staff, cute cafe. Food acceptable but not exciting.

Just what was needed a sandwich and lovely cup of coffee.

staff and service good i am visually impaired with a guide dog , i found the experience from fellow so called lunching diners , who you would expect to have a little compassion to be helpful , but to be honest they were lacking understanding , it was like pulling teeth, for diners to help me with a chair, a middle aged woman was happy for me to feel uncomfortable and she was more focused on her party of several people and butterbean salad no compassion for a fellow human i suppose that's Hove

Rarely do I feel compelled to leave a review without being prompted, but I must express my sincere admiration for the exceptional service I received today. The gentleman, distinguished by his bandanna and glasses, displayed remarkable skills in understanding, interacting with, and making customers feel truly valued. As someone with extensive experience in senior management, specifically in the Customer Service department, I am delighted to acknowledge his outstanding ability. Kudos to him for making my experience truly special!

A big thank you to the fabulous Ryan. We always bought my elderly friend here and all the staff were so kind. Now we have to get her a takeaway and the ever thoughtful Ryan put a lovely message on her cup. I know that he goes above and beyond in so many ways and he makes even ordering a takeaway a lovely experience ❤️

I love my cheese scones form here but disappointed by the veggie breakfast. Service is very good though.

Really good lattes and food in an exceptionally friendly atmosphere. Forget the chains and the places trying to be "neighborhood", Drury's is genuine. You will be glad you visited and want to go again soon.

Very nice local cafe, with a good selection of food

What a great place. Absolutely the best coffee I've had in a long time, hands down. The cooked breakfast was of superb quality and price, the decor is lovely and the staff were fantastic. Nothing to not like here ! I can thoroughly recommend. What a shame I dont live nearby....

Breakfast was very good . Great coffee . Not overpriced. Easy parking . Lovely helpful staff.

very good coffee and hot chocolate service excellent but very busy and loud .

They have the best chocolate brownies.

Love this place. Great food and service

Lovely friendly service and delicious food

A v frequent customer. Nice staff particularly the Polish twins who always serve with a smile. Coffee good value, nice taste and always hot.

This cafe is extremely popular and for good reason. The food and coffee are good, the service excellent andon sunny day there are seats outside.

I have visited several times. The food is tasty and it is the most reasonably priced café that I have visited in Hove. Nice outdoor seating area too.

Lovely place away from centre. Great food coffee and cakes

Love this place, friendly staff, lovely drinks.

I like Drurys but I know you wouldn't think so from my ratings. On the positive... friendly service at the counter. Nice tasting coffee. Pleasant festive decor. Not so positive... Back room a bit like a waiting room with seats down one side not facing each other. Coffee was luke warm ( though my partners was hot). Cake was tasty but a bit dry. What I was most surprised at was the staff being unhelpful, telling someone to get their own sugar. A little thing I know and though it was said with a smile, I nearly offered to get it myself for the other customer. Its not that there were many customers in at that time.

This is a nice busy but pleasant cafe with a coffee counter selling beans. The decaf cappuccino was pretty good, best decaf I've had. BLT was nice, toasted brown bread, crispy bacon. Friendly efficient staff. Will certainly come again.

Such a lovely coffee and great people

A lovely cafe tucked away in Richardson Road of church Rd, great service ,lovely beautiful ladys ,lovely atmosphere, Pumpkin spiced latte is Divine..if in the area check this cafe out ....X TD MEDIUM

My daily morning cortado and Sfogliatella is a must from Drury's. Always a smile and a chat if time.

Excellent food, good service, lovely coffee and nice sitting outside. My Grandsons love it there.

Decent enough, yet there are better options for good coffee in the Brighton and Hove area

Good service, simple and good Sunday morning food.

Family and I had breakfast and we were impressed with the quality of the coffee (cappuccino), it wasn't too milky or bitter, it was perfect and my eggs benedit on avocado toast was great. Very clean inside and outside, good quality food, curtesous staff and well priced.

Excellent breakfast wrap and chocolate milkshake. Quick and friendly service

Quaint local cafe/restaurant with a nice menu and friendly seevice

All ok apart from when my husband and I ordered off the menu of what which ingredients were on the menu to be told they need to check with chef if she can do it as she can get funny. Which seemed a bit weird. we then heard the short older lady with blonde hair moaning about our order really loudly from the kitchen which was heard in the restaurant this is not at all professional and being that We were paying customers they should be greatful for business to keep her in a job! Very unprofessional although food was ok when arrived, we won’t be coming back if our order causes problems not worth it, once and once only! Everyone else was pleasant enough.

Lovely coffee and reasonably priced,

Great place to meet ones friends for coffee/tea or lunch. Indoors or outdoor seating. Large selective menu. Very friendly welcoming staff.

Coffee, tea, and food .. but in their own words .. "Sit a while in our Coffee Shop, enjoying an expertly made coffee, or a pot of tea and dare to be tempted by our handmade cakes, or a freshly made sandwich. When the sun is shining our front terrace is full of families, friends catching up and is just a very happy, peaceful place to be." Couldn't put it better, oh and they wholesale their coffee as well, been doing it for 80 years .. apart from the decor update, the only thing missing when I visited, was the aroma of roasting coffee, I'm sure it was there 40 years ago, yes I have been visiting that long. 🥰

Endroit très accueillant , grand choix, petits dej très copieux avec de bons cafés, des croissants comme on a en France . Ouvert le lundi de Pâques en plus.

Yummy freshly cooked breakfast!

Terrible service Below average quality food - (don’t bother with breakfast) I’ve returned twice out of convenience as I live locally, both times regretted my decision. Won’t be returning

Lovely brekkie. Really pleasant little shop too

Podajà Bardzo dobre kawę. Kawy można kupić w ziarnach do domu. Polecam

Drury, Southwick square is simply the best coffee shop! As soon as you step in you feel a warm vibe. Lovely aroma, lovely cosy feel and clean fresh decor. Staff are fantastic, all of them. Must mention Torres, always smiling and happy to chat, and Sophie, likewise. So friendly and welcoming. Apologise to all other staff who are equally so whose names I don’t yet know. I go in as often as possible whilst I’m out driving for a living. Food is fantastic, great flapjacks and brilliant coffee. Makes my day and the best way to spend £3!!

So happy to stubble across this little gem today. One of the nicest coffees I’ve had in a long time. Breakfast was cooked to perfection, was hot and arrived really quickly. The staff are so friendly and efficient. They know how to run a cafe 10/10 will be back next week 🙏🏻

Excellent service and top quality on a large variety of coffees and teas from around the world.

The most reliable cafe/sandwich shop in the area, by far. We go all the time, standard of food is always high, and well-priced.

Pleasant staff and good value extended menu

Great little coffee/tea room in Hove. Really good menu too with friendly staff.

Good strong coffee and cakes were pretty good too with lots of seating inside & out. Toasted sandwich was nice and portion size was spot on

Great place! Shame ive never known about it before now. Good selection of food, drinks and cakes including vegan and gluten free options.

Returned after a bit of a time away. It's still great, the coffee and snacks are excellent, and the front of house team are very friendly.

Really lovely local cafe with a good selection of cakes, friendly staff, and nice to buy the coffee to take home too.

All ways good great service and food

Good coffee and friendly, helpful staff. Sit outside and watch the local Hove people and dogs. If your lucky the gorgeous black cat from the nearby Mews flats will grace you with his presence....he's ace and a boss!

Great little 'proper coffee' shop. Wide range of wholesome brunch foods and snacks. Also a coffee emporium in its own right, here you can buy all things coffee! Outside seating in a popular but small shopping area with a handful of boutique shops. Staff pleasant and helpful, toilets clean. Lovely way to waste a while people watching. (What else is there?) ☺

Enjoyed my quiet time there and great coffee especially as I only have coffee made with coconut milk.

Went with a friend, after she dropped her doggy at a local groomers for a pampering session. It was a very busy little café. We only had drinks but the food looked really nice. Plan to have lunch there at some point.

I’ve been to a many cafes in the BN postcode area, but this one stands out! I didn’t just feel like I number, many of the staff took interest with customers on a personal level. First time coming here, but feel like I have been coming here for years. The breakfast was very nice, I had the mini breakfast. The toast is nice buttered and thick, and the sausages were to die for! Speedy service, which boasted an abundance of efficiency. The coffee was lovely, I chose the decaf latte with coconut milk. Overall 5 out of 5 starts, and an amazing atmosphere.

My number one destination for buying loose tea and coffee beans.

Best sandwiches and excellent coffe

Superb neighbourhood coffee shop. High quality coffee and cakes

Lovely clean and tidy place service was great also

Lovely service from the staff and a really yummy coffee. It's so pleasant sitting here in the sunshine with a gentle breeze. Quiet, away from all the traffic. Rather impressed and shall visit again.

A very pleasant dog friendly cafe. Tasty food and good portions

They do great coffee. The staff are amazing and very friendly. The food is brilliant and will always suggest that people should go there and enjoy the amazing coffee

They're serving coffee and food outside at the moment. Nice people, nice sandwich and nice coffee though sadly served in paper cup which is always disappointing.

Good coffee and a variety of alternative milks" - currently takeaway only.

the service and quality here makes drury’s truly a hidden gem in hove! great coffee, delicious food, but what sets them apart is the service - everyone who works at drury’s is a delight! i’ve never interacted with so many happy staff members! covid measures have been thought out and put in place to make sure everyone is safe whilst being served. the price is the same as any independent coffee shop, a bit more expensive but totally worth it, and a surprising selection of vegan treats (the peanut butter flapjacks are to die for!). cannot recommend highly enough, everyone who works there is warm, friendly and caring. highlight of my week getting breakfast and coffee!

Amazing veggie wrap , but please get with the programme and stop giving out PLASTIC KNIFES AND FORKS , we are in a plastic crisis and you should really know better than this , you wouldn’t get away with that in town !!!!

Very nice coffee and take away service

Amazing coffee, grub & service. Highly recommended

Really nice coffee friendly staff only issue was having to pay for it lol. Jason Happyfit.uk 😊

Forgot I had ordered a coffee. So waited ages and didn't apologise straight away, it was only when i still looked obviously up set that they said sorry.

Lovely staff and we'll organised

Food yummy, coffee great, iced coffee wonderful, people lovely, cakes and sandwiches hot and cold, go if u havent been b4! And go again if u have...

Really nice coffee and selection of cakes and snacks. Plenty of seating and outside area in a quiet street and always busy. Highly recommended.

Friendly and helpful staff, tasty food ,a very enjoyable experience

We have been going to Drury's for many years but unfortunately on our visits since lockdown, the food has been disappointing. Sandwiches which were well filled are now only sparsely filled and the bagettes seemed to have shrunk in size with the coleslaw gone completely!. What a shame since this was the place we came to at least twice a week. Service is still good and the staff are friendly.

Popular tea room in Hove, excellent coffee, teas. cakes freshly baked in their own kitchen, also available home made soup, sandwiches and other savouries. Outside tables and chairs or sit inside socially distanced.
