Trading Post Coffee Roasters Ship Street is an independent coffee house at 36 Ship Street in Brighton. Opened in 2017 as the company’s first café, it combines indoor and outdoor seating with the sights and aromas of coffee being roasted inside the venue.
Coffee is the central attraction, with house blends and changing single origins prepared across familiar espresso and filter styles. The manual roaster connects each cup to the craft behind it, while guests can also buy beans to brew at home.
A seasonal brunch menu runs through the day during kitchen hours, supported by cakes, light food and cold drinks. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free choices are included across the wider offering, helping groups with different preferences share the same café visit.
The dog friendly venue also offers private hire, making it useful for both everyday coffee stops and larger informal events. Guests with allergies or medical dietary needs should check the current menu and speak to staff before ordering about ingredients and preparation.
Address: 36 Ship Street, Brighton BN1 1AB, England
