Your Trusted Caf for Specialty Coffee and Fresh Food in Eastbourne
Urban Ground was established in 2011 to bring specialty coffee culture to Eastbourne after years of observing the vibrant caf scene in London. Our mission has always been to create a welcoming space where exceptional coffee, fresh food, and community connection thrive. We focus on sustainability, sourcing ingredients responsibly and preparing everything on-site to ensure quality. Our team, many of whom have been with us since the beginning, shares a passion for delivering excellent service in a relaxed environment.Every coffee we serve follows precise recipes to guarantee consistency, and our partnership with Square Mile Coffee ensures access to globally sourced beans. Seasonal menus, including plant-based options, reflect our commitment to innovation and catering to diverse tastes. Regular customers and long-term team members attest to our dedication to maintaining the ethos that defined us from day one.
