Dandelion Deli in Hastings

Such a vibe and a load of vegan options! Loved it and the staff are so lovely

A charming little cafe/restaurant with excellent normal an vegan breakfast an lunch options, record shop an garden underneath, nice atmosphere.

Good food and service. Fair price. Great Scotch eggs yum. Nice people.

What a treat! I have been many times to eat and buy a few bits and would really recommend this place. You can eat downstairs where there are records on sale or even out front on a sunny day. Love the daily specials. Very tasty and good value and portions. Not to mention the amazing group of staff who always give the warmest welcome :)

Perfect little brunch spot with very friendly and accommodating staff. The Golden Latte is the best I’ve had!

Relaxed friendly atmosphere. Good food individually prepared. As a walking stick user I found the stairs a bit tricky. Nevertheless my friend and I intend to visit again.

Love this place. The staff are great, friendly, helpful, kind, and patient

Friendly buzzy place that uses excellent ingredients to deliver great cafe food. Great coffee too!

Amazing choice of food! Lovely customer service! Great place to be in! Highly recommended!

Top quality, delicious and healthy food with great service too. Highly recommend a visit!

A wonderful experience, all the staff had such a nice vibe and the Lebanese coffee was wonderful & well priced, would recommend.

Best veggie breakfast I’ve had. Perfectly cooked and clearly made with love. Excellent coffee. Really lovely setting and vibe. Always good tunes. Top vibes.

Such a great deli/cafe! They have such a wonderful variety of fresh and healthy foods (and some tasty indulgent treats too). The staff are so friendly and accommodating. I have a few difficult dietary requirements (the main one being my allium intolerance) and the staff always make me an amazing tasty meal. Highly recommend!

Nice terrace and good choice of salads, scotch egggs and vegan option but took almost 30min to get two eggs on toast..

Lovely little place. Took my daughter there twice now, milkshakes are freshly made, cakes are generously sized, downstairs seating is gorgeous, outside seating too... staff are chatty and polite and go above and beyond. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful atmosphere, truly amazing staff and incredible food at a reasonable price. I highly recommend stopping by for something to eat or even just a chat 10/10

The Sweet Chilli Chicken wrap was impeccable. The service was friendly and great to have a short chat with. The take-out pricing is a kind gift to the broke student. Honestly best lunch I've had in a while..

Great cafe, very friendly and fast service - Great food!

This is my new favourite cafe to go to in the morning. The people who work here are warm and welcoming, they go above and beyond for their customers. They get to know everyone who comes in and remembers then when they come back! I seriously would recommend changing this to your new spot too.

Nice place definitely well be coming back again

Very friendly staff offering the best coffee on the high street..Delicious pastries on offer..Great outside terrace and a downstairs room for more comtort. Very good value for money. Highly recommended.

10/10. The cake selection says it all.

Exceptional staff, exceptional home produced food. If this place was given a Michelin star it would be a downgrade Food lovers paradise, full stop

Lovely little café, outdoor and garden seating as well xx

I was very disappointed by my first experience of Dandelion Deli. I had to wait over an hour for my meal and there was no communication from the staff to say why there was such a long wait. I had to go and find a member of staff who had to then speak to a colleague to find out how much longer we would have to wait and was told 5 more minutes. When we received our food, it actually took 10 minites and no apology for the delay. My brother asked for avocado instead of baked beans when ordering but received baked beans with his order. The food was fine but the customer service was dissatisfactory so therefore will not be returning.

Just ordered the vegan casserole and a cheese and onion toasty and after 2 bites we had to question if it was vegan after all, to be told it was the nom vegan one with sausage and bacon in, didn't even get a sorry of a full refund.

First time here but definitely not last

Had a delightful afternoon drinking coffee and a Portuguese custard tart. chatting to the other customers

What a wonderful place full of fun and joy and still able to provide an inviting service I'll be eating and drinking there every time I'm in st leonards-on-sea

What a gorgeous place! Always a friendly face to welcome you, the team are really accommodating. There’s a reason it can get busy at lunch times and it’s worth a little wait, the food is wholesome and varied. There’s loads of seating options, great music and a banging record shop downstairs. I’m a local and it’s always my go to.

Yummy scrummy everything...making my way thru menu and not been disappointed yet...

A lovely place, they have outside seating, and a cosy restaurant space downstairs as well as a record shop. Attentive staff and scrummy food. I like that there's a different hot special every day. Very cost effective.

You MUST have the gluten free scotch eggs!!! They are beautiful

Really nice local Sandwich shop, plenty of meat and veggie options. Can be quite slow if you're waiting for takeaway, especially with the train station near by. Prices are genuinely good and the staff are lovely

I go there a lot it's always extremely good

I had a really good vegan brekkie!

Waited about 50 minutes for two sandwiches to be made - the staff were all new and there seemed to be no organisation and no updates given. They then stopped serving sandwiches and salads altogether as they were so “busy” which annoyed a lot of customers. The sandwiches were ok - all a bit overpriced

Love this place, delicious food and drinks and cheese selection to die for 💜

Great food and friendly service.

Very trendy. Great food, coffee and service. Nice outdoor seating. We will definitely be back

Lovely cafe, great food and atmosphere. Love the downstairs area. Would recommend.

Great breakfast and wonderful coffee

I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS FOOD!!!!!

Some of the friendliest and most charming staff in this area. The food and coffee are also excellent. A+

Great spot, tasty food, and really friendly people. Would give it 6 stars if I could.

Great food. Amazing selection. Very reasonably price

A great place for breakfast, lunch, coffee and now dinner! Food is delicious and well priced, staff very friendly.

As a local...my favourite stop off....scotch eggs are great. Staff super friendly, just great for watching life go past or hiding away in their super downstairs bit...and record stall!

Buzzing place in St Leonard's very tasty food and great service ,

Eating here was okay, a fews could have been better.

Pretty member of team ,recomanded

If you want to take a break from browsing the antiques and junk of the Kings Rd., the Dandelion is ideal. Great tea, coffee and snacks (I recommend the salads and various scotch eggs) plus a great range of deli and tapas type things to take home.

To all Day visitors never use this place. THEY OVER CHARGE. SO CHECK YOU BANK STATMENT AS I DID. THEY CAN BE SUPPOSEDLY GENEROUS. BUT OVER CHARGE IN THE FIRST PLACE. Rude and insulting, AVOID. Expensive for not alot I remarked I do not take milk in my coffee and was told " IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT YOU, YOU KNOW" To all Day visitors never use this place. To all Day visitors never use this place. " IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT YOU, YOU KNOW" Saying this to anyone they have just met, is NOT GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE AVOID.AVOID.AVOID.AVOID.AVOID.AVOID.AVOID I charged you £2.40 for a coffee that is stated on my price list as £2.60 SO WHY ACCORDING TO MY BANK STATEMENT WHY DID YOU CHARGE ME MORE THAN THE PRICES YOU STATED

Totally reccomend the full English for breakfast. Stood by us most of the day. 10 out of 10, especially for the sausages

Nice friendly staff and good quality food. Nice place to eat and 5ake a break.

Freshly cooked and a decent variety

Lovely food. Lovely staff. Always thoroughly enjoy the meals.

I really enjoy having my latte's here and there vegetarian meals. The staff are very friendly and professional. Good hygiene procedures with a delightful ambience about the place. Highly recommended.

Coffee is undeniably good, let me say that first but they do need to offer a table service for people using their dine in option. Lots of people cramped into a small shop waiting to be served isn't the best way to deal with the current situation. There was a fairly long wait before being served so a little bit of acknowledgement from the staff that you were waiting and they would be with you shortly, would have been nice. When our coffees and snacks did arrive the guy put them down on the wrong table before I had to usher him over to ours. Again, this is down to a poor service system that could be made better with a few simple adjustments. Table numbers would probably be a good start.

Excellent coffee, and a very tasty sausage roll. Perfect!

Fantastic food, friendly team, varied selection and always really tasty.

Without a doubt, the best deli ever. The owner has created this place himself from nothing and the attention to detail is incredible, from customer service, to produce selection, to the decor and fresh food and music selection. I never miss a chance to go whenever I am near. A real treasure in Hastings.

Good selection of gluten free and vegan foods available tasty homemade food, along with scrummy smoothies to name but a few of wide selection of options available. Staff team are friendly and very helpful

Always a host of delicious food and treats, topped with awesome coffee. Please dont miss this spot.

Freshest and tastiest coffee in the area.

Amazing lunch and main options, great for veggies 🌽 - Dog 🐕 friendly. Happy people, great choice. All fresh and healthy. 100% recommended.

Nice vegan choices reasonable price, lovely staff

Delishous, generous, nice people, good value..

Great staff, food and a very cool place with record shop downstairs and great seating area with courtyard garden

Very good food and deli service coffee very nice. First time I had a lovely tea and bought some lovely hummus from the deli counter very tasty. Went back last week for lunch and more hummus had veggie lunch and cottage pie both really tasty recommend trying

Great little place, friendly staff, outside tables for us smokers, and the dog ! Lovely inside too. Would recomend highly.

A great variety and pleasant enough atmosphere. Could use a bit more seating. Seems more of a take out place.

Local deli with good range of treats incl gluten free - plus best homemade sausage rolls in town.

Amazing coffee and tasty cakes. Lovely friendly staff.

Absolutely no doubt a hidden treasure

We were visiting St Leonard’s and fancied an early breakfast. Dandelion staff were really accommodating and freshly prepared avocado, mushrooms, scrambled eggs and sour dough toast for us. Delicious. Good coffee. Lovely service. A charming little rear patio area to sit in too. Great place.

Great deli! Plus yummy food to eat in or take away! Surprise garden if you sit downstairs oh and I believe there's a record store too!

I simply ADORE this place. I'd passed it many a time feeling it perhaps wasn't for me, I think I was initially put off by the organic and locally sourced sale items and thought they'd be way out of my price range. However the prices are really affordable, the food is to die for and the hot chocolate is out of this world!!!!!! I can't get over how much I love this little place. It is always clean and tidy and the staff treat you so so kindly! I refuse to go anywhere else now when I'm in St leonards and I look forward to returning this week for one of their delicious white hot chocolates!

interesting little place, great menu very simple. fresh food and seating inside and outside. good coffee and friendly staff

What can I say? Amazing food served with a smile, the ambient sound of jazz floating through the air, the calming, natural themed decor. All in all, a 10 out of 10 experience. And I would like to add that; Storm, the little ray of sunshine that served me, really did cheer me up on a rainy Thursday morning. Incredible customer service, always on point. I went out for a cigarette and she runs out and brings me an ashtray. An absolute diamond. Will definitely return and bring friends. Keep doing what you're doing, you will all go far! <3

Lovely deli cum cafe, lovely selection of non veggie, veggie and vegan eat in or take outs. Deli has good unusual selections of organic goods, cold cuts and cheeses. Really pleasant staff too.

The food and staff here are fantastic, I can't recommend it enough. We live 200 miles away in Devon but we always make a point of visiting for a lazy lunch in their downstairs micro garden when we're in the area.

Both a deli and a restaurant, Dandelion always has at least two daily choices of just-cooked hot lunch plus a selection of designer scotch eggs with salad. The downstairs conservatory garden is a quiet oasis.

The best deli in town. You won't be disappointed and there is something for everyone. Great place. Awesome staff x

Really lovely staff and good selection of deli products with hot meals, vegetarian and meat sausage rolls, a huge selection of scotch eggs and varied sandwiches. Unbelievably cool space downstairs with an outdoor yard and record shop. Very pleased to have on doorstep.

Really nice coffee, nice seating area downstairs

This place brings something special to St Leonard's. The food is unrivalled and the staff just gorgeous. The vegan salads were insane and the tea is £1!!!! Take a look downstairs too, the record shop is world class and the owners music knowledge is epic. A true gem.

Had the most amazing meal here. Everything was perfect - the food, the staff, the ambience. The choice of gluten free and vegetarian options offered. Just outstanding. And definitely worth a visit

Great selection of fresh food served in a superb environment. What Will has done here with Dandelion Deli is incredible. It's like a little ray of sunshine off the tourist's path. We absolutely love the food, the friendly staff and the deli itself. Highly recommended!

An absolute gem of a deli!! Highly recommended

Didn't go there. Sure its nice.

A wonderful place in all aspects!

Always a friendly welcome and a menu to please all tastes. Great place for a tasty lunch

I had probably the best wrap I've ever had here. If I am not mistaken the food is organic, the people at the counter very patient and helpful. The service is quick and prices fair. I wouldn't hesitate to go again next time we are in Hastings.

Great range of fresh and tasty salads, as well as made to order sandwiches. Really enjoyed our lunch here yesterday. And bonus points for having a dog friendly seating area in the conservatory!

This is a great cafe in the heart of the shopping area in Kings Road, St Leonards not far from the station. I really enjoyed my lunch here recently, spoilt for choice. As a vegetarian I was impressed with the selection available, and there is plenty of choice for meat eaters too. I've not come across such a wide range of home made scotch eggs before, and really enjoyed the vegetarian one I purchased! Staff are always friendly and helpful and the place has a nice ambience. There is an arty atmosphere and lovely terrace garden downstairs where you can eat too. Well worth a visit!

great local deli/ cafe in st leonardsp unique individual place with great staff. proper stuff all the trimmings.

Will and the team make such a big effort for their customers. Easily the best food in Hastings. Always a different menu. Veggie options always look good too. Has a secret garden downstairs. A little piece of happiness

I visited yesterday and I was so disappointed with my visit compared to last time. Although the server was knowledgeable when we ordered the food did not come up to my expectations.

Looking for a place to eat in St Leonards and decided to give Dandelion a go. This is a querky place for sure. Part deli, part record shop but most importantly a restaurant. We ordered a nut roast and a superfood sallad, which was centred around halloumi and advocado.The presentation was exceptional but the flavours were so good that i immediately felt i would happily order anything on the menu. This is some seriously clever cookery from an outstanding chef. Honestly probably the best sallad ive ever had. I really cant say enough about how good this food is.
