Redroaster

My next stop was Redroaster.

I’d actually tried to visit yesterday, but by the time I arrived, they had already closed. Today I finally got my chance.

The café is much larger and more modern than many of Brighton’s independent coffee shops, with an impressive coffee selection and genuinely friendly staff.

Given the heat, I ordered an iced latte and settled onto the shaded backyard patio. What was supposed to be a quick stop turned into a much longer break. I caught up on a bit of work, watched people wander by and, perhaps even more entertainingly, watched plenty of dogs enjoying the café alongside their owners.

One thing I absolutely love about Europe is how dog-friendly cafés and restaurants are. Seeing dogs quietly relaxing under tables or sitting beside their owners just feels so natural. I wish Vancouver would loosen up a little in that regard.

Eventually, it was time to head back to the B&B, freshen up and get ready for dinner.Læs mere
