Best atmosphere, for relaxing and a chinwag. Only had sandwich, scone and drinks but selection and quality excellent. A must next time in Hastings.

It was pouring with rain and we had 2 hours to kill. This looked like and certainly was a very friendly place to have a coffee. Comfortable settees and chairs. The menu looked varied but we only wanted a coffee and snack. I had a scone, which was warmed and my husband had apple tart with custard. Both very acceptable.

What a little gem!! The food was fantastic. Best Ploughman’s I have had in a very long time. I will definitely be back. The children’s food was fantastic and they eat every bit which is unusual for my 3 fussy children 👍. The banana milkshake is epic!!

Really lovely cafe on the seafront. Coffees good and I love getting a big old mug! Tried some food yesterday, the echo beach take on a croque monseiur and it was lovely. Proper ham, cheese and wholegrain mustard on lovely sourdough and came with some chips and salad. Honestly way surpassed my expectations! All staff weve encountered have been lovely and friendly, even bringing our dog some treats yesterday. A fab place for coffee in the old town. Can sit outside in the sun :)

Very friendly people and extremely comfortable seating. The food is very good. We had drinks, a meal and cake. It's good value for money as well.

Was hammering down, so popped in to get warm and have a brew. What a magic little find. Great tea and coffee. The cakes were excellent. One of the best Lemon Drizzle's I've had and I've had a few. Highly Recommended

I had a lovely lunch here with my sister. We had paninis, one coronation chicken and one bacon and brie. There was a delicious salad and chips with paprika and onion seasoning. We chatted to the owner who was very friendly. I would thoroughly recommend having a meal. I have heard the cake is good so must try it next time.

We wandered along one early afternoon when it was particularly windy , not too many people braving the cold after 1.30 so the owner had shut down the ovens , we had wanted Sunday lunch and obviously looked disappointed, the owner said if we didn’t mind the wait he would start the ovens up again ! We enjoyed a delicious roast Lamb and all the trimmings not too long afterwards . Owner is nice guy , food is plentiful and upstairs you might be lucky enough to enjoy the open fire 🔥 oh and the cake is to die for !

Excellent place to relax. Didn't see Martha! Dog is very happy with the doggie treats. Cakes gorgeous. Sun is shining, can't get much better than this in January.

Just had an amazing roast beef/belly pork dinner. Fantastic price with huge portions the cook Alex certainly knows what he's doing & Gerry the owner & staff made us welcome it's also dog friendly. Couldn't handle the massive apple crumble & custard included in the price, either two or three courses. Can't believe the crackling how it had such a crunch to it & done to perfection 👌 the beef melted in your mouth. Most definitely worth a visit if you're down Hastings right on the seafront. 10/10.

The first thing we noticed was the friendly, welcoming staff. The starters (mushrooms on sourdough and small prawn salad) were freshly prepared, beautifully presented and very tasty. The beef roast dinners were, in our experience, the best we have had in the Hastings area. We...

Panini and a prawn salad. Coffee and a quick recharge. We thought we'd try this place as it is new. Simple interior, looked like a good solid regular cafe, but the food was exceptional. Excellent salad and all made with care. Good coffee too. Stand...

This is an incomparable, little gem of a restaurant . Top quality, interesting and imaginative dishes all created by a very talented chef using locally sourced produce makes it difficult to decide what you would like! Memorable experience for someone who is coeliac too. Good sized portions and amazing choice = excellent value for money. Don’t forget to try the Appasiomento wine - a true find. Front of house service is relaxed, faultless and friendly making the overall experience excellent. We always pre-book to avoid disappointment.

Came here for breakfast with friends when visiting. They live locally and rate it highly so I was happy to go. It’s called breakfast ‘zone’ so assumed they’d cater for all. They have various fixed options for breakfast including 1 veggie. I asked a waitress if the sausages were vegan and was told “Well we don’t know if they have eggs or ‘anything’ in them”. Goodness knows what ‘anything’ is! Her response didn’t fill me with confidence, nor did I trust her if she’d even bothered to check. I decided to go for the pick 5 items breakfast option. I asked if they had vegan spread, and was told ‘I think it is… but would you like me to check.” She did and her reply was, “No sorry it isn’t”. Good job I’d asked her to then, and that was toast off the menu (not being a fan of dry toast!). She did tell me the mushrooms and tomatoes were vegan as not cooked in butter so that was one thing (well 2 things). Scanning the breakfast options…. Numerous non veggie things, not so much if you can’t or won’t eat dairy or meat. My non-veggie friends were really apologetic at the lack of options and suggested we go somewhere else and had a quick look online. I said it would be fine, I was sure I’d be able to find 5 items. Scanning the options it was very limited, one being the ubiquitous felafel (I’m not a huge fan but as above… limited options), and thought it might make it more substantial. I ended up choosing mushrooms, grilled cherry tomatoes, felafel and 2 hash browns. My friends easily chose theirs, and decent potions too. When my sorry looking plate finally arrived, the hash browns were inexplicably missing and I was told “they were coming shortly”. It was also just 1 falafel which appeared and tasted homemade however it was the smallest felafel I’ve ever seen in my life, one of my friends actually gasped and said “Is that ‘it?!’” Slightly larger than a cherry tomato and at 1 option from the items available, it felt like a complete rip off and certainly not the equivalent of 1 sausage for example, you’d need at least 3 to be anywhere near. I decided to wait for the hashbrowns to ‘bulk up’ my empty looking plate. They took over 5 minutes to arrive, on a saucer, so the rest was pretty cold by then. The mushrooms and toms were nice enough, cold but ok. I ate everything as I was starving by this time but it didn’t exactly fill me up. The coffee I had was really nice, with plant based milk so they’ve given some thought to certain things. However, in 2025 at a place called Breakfast ‘Zone’ , I was extremely disappointed to be made to feel like I was putting people out and then faced with such limited options for breakfast. To not even be able to have beans on toast that isn’t dry is pretty disappointing to say the least. Those with dairy intolerances also obviously not catered for. Most other reviews here are really positive which is no doubt due to them being from those who eat meat/dairy. My score is mostly for the coffee. The owners seemed friendly as we left as we said goodbye but I didn’t want to complain as my friends felt really bad and like the place so I didn’t want to spoil this or make them feel any worse in that moment. I was also just feeling really disappointed, and hungry! I genuinely hope the owners read this and make a few, simple improvements as it wouldn’t take much to cater for all. Stick some vegan sausages in the freezer (Linda McCartney’s aren’t exactly hard to come by). Nor is Flora spread. By the time my ‘saucered’ hash browns arrived, they could have sent one of the waitresses to the local co-op and bought some! Adding a vegan brekkie to the set menu so vegans, and those with dairy intolerances, aren’t made to feel like they don’t matter. Making the menu clear what is, or isn’t, vegan would be really appreciated (including the other stuff on the menu not just breakfast items), would simplify everything and removes the need for customers having to ‘bother’ the waitresses who clearly don’t really know the basics. A little research and staff awareness wouldn’t hurt either. Also maybe consider increasing the size of the felafel, or making 1, a decent portion rather than just 1 tiny offering. Trip adviser lists vegan options for Breakfast Zone but my experience of this in reality wasn’t great. I found myself wishing I’d just gone for a plate of chips for breakfast! With a few small changes, hopefully other customers don’t need to nip to Greggs straight after to buy a vegan sausage roll as they’re still hungry!
