Small Batch Coffee is one of the longer-established specialty roasters in the UK, founded in Brighton in 2006 with a stated mission to make specialty coffee accessible without the pretension that often surrounds it. The roastery operates from Portslade using a Probat and a Loring Kestrel, and the business runs two cafes in Brighton and Hove, the original site on Goldstone Villas beside Hove station and a second location, as well as a coffee cart for events.

Goldstone won a Great Taste Award in 2023. The wholesale list runs to many accounts, and online retail is available.

The roastery sources directly from farmers across more than 20 countries and 4 continents, using Cropster software to log sensory evaluation. For a business approaching 20 years old, it has maintained a direct trade and quality focus rather than scaling into commodity supply.
