Our Story
Small batches, traceable provenance, a space worth sitting in.
"Every cup we serve started as a seed in a specific place, at a specific altitude, tended by specific hands. That provenance is the flavour."
Hollow & Vine Roastery sits in the heart of North Laine, Brighton — a plant-filled café and working roastery where every bean is roasted in small weekly batches on-site. We trace each coffee back to its farm, so you know exactly where your cup came from.
The café, the brunch menu, the workshops — all of it exists to slow things down and do them properly.
We are not a chain. We are not trying to be. We roast because we love the process, and we open our doors because we want to share it.
Four commitments that shape every cup, every session, every delivery.
Roasted on-site in small weekly batches — never pre-packed, never sitting in a warehouse. Freshness isn't a marketing word here; it's a schedule.
We source direct and publish the provenance of every single-origin on the menu. Farm, region, process, altitude — because transparency is respect for the grower.
Hands-on sessions in the roastery — no PowerPoints, no talking down. Just coffee, kit, and the kind of knowledge that actually changes how you make it at home.
Independent Brighton restaurants and cafés rely on our wholesale supply. Consistent quality, reliable schedule, and a wholesale team that actually picks up the phone.
"The kind of place you find yourself staying two hours longer than planned. The coffee is genuinely exceptional and the space just lets you breathe."
"I did the brewing workshop and it completely changed how I make coffee at home. They really know their stuff and don't talk down to you."
