INK POD COLLECTIVE

Ink Pod Collective is the café equivalent of a unicorn wearing a beret and sipping artisanal tea. This place nails it on every level, from the light-filled vibe to the artsy workshops led by the ever-patient Catarina and Vicky. Whether you’re getting crafty with some lino printing or just chilling with the best Portuguese cakes, you’ll feel like a creative genius here. The coffee is as good as the atmosphere, and the honey cake? It’s basically a love letter in dessert form.

Every inch of this café screams 'cool', and the art on display is something you’ll actually want to take home instead of pretending to understand. If you’re in Hove and don’t pop in, you’re basically committing a crime against your taste buds. The only downside? You might find yourself spending way too much on cute gifts and art because it’s just that hard to resist.
