A charming coffee house for book lovers and others who prefer a quiet leisurely interlude. The service was quick and friendly . Although we did not eat there the rolls and cakes looked very inviting. There were books every a donation was all that was needed to take one home.

This review is for Hanushka Two. I liked the sofa. In fact I always checked whether there was space available before I ordered a cappuccino. If not I left as I found their wooden chairs uncomfortable, no biggie. It's a Friday and I'm sat on the sofa (with two other customers) waiting for my coffee to arrive when a member of staff tells all three of us that the sofa is actually "reserved" (no reserved sign visible) and we'll all have to move!! What?? Didn't even know reserving the sofa was a thing. Seeing as my cappuccino hadn't arrived, I asked for a filled loyalty card (instead of refund ) so I could get the coffee I'd already paid for next time and then went elsewhere. The following Monday I'm back on the sofa with a cappuccino (which took just short of twenty minutes to arrive) when five minutes after it's arrival a member of staff comes over and tells me the sofa is reserved for 12 o'clock (again no reserved sign on display) so could I move OR finish my coffee in the next nine minutes (I pointed out it had taken twice that long to arrive in the first place and this being the second time in two visits I'd been asked to move, which didn't appear to go down well). So twice now I feel I've essentially been booted out of Hanushka 2 because I had the audacity to sit on the sofa without reserving it first. The young person who "evicted" me from the sofa for the second time was clearly more annoyed by my protestations (twice in four days!!) than she was apologetic. It was a real "nothing to do with me, I didn't know anything about it" job. Total lack of training/professionaliam. Teenagers of today I guess. So I have yet another filled loyalty card (although I'm not feeling particularly loyal at the moment). It may be a while before I go back which is a shame as their coffee is good. Very very disappointed with customer treatment. 😒

Ordered a toasted brie and cranberry panini. Got a cranberry and hint of melted brie panini. Was so clear when opened the panini that not enough brie to give that lovely, rich melted, gooey winter loveliness. Took up to the counter and stated, whilst pointing at depleted brie... Where is the brie? Only to be told in a very aggressive 'what do you know tone'... Obviously the brie melts when heated up 🤔😜... I was so taken aback that I decided on this occasion to just leave. Back to the caff in Egerton Park Bexhill when I want a proper Brie and cranberry toasted panini.... With walnuts 😉

Have been here before and it was excellent .Today however the place was over run with uncleared and dirty tables the staff seemed to lack direction and urgency .We waited 20 minutes for two coffees and a cake .When I went to enquire I was greeted by a blank stare whilst her colleagues searched for clean cups and glasses in the back kitchen. Utter chaos and confusion ,I asked for a refund and left. Such a shame as normally this is a great place.

Delicious (pretty strong!) coffee. A really beautiful place. Books everywhere - even in the loo. Classy but unprententious. Nice staff. I've seen some book-themed cafes before and they can tend to look a little tatty - not here. Mixture of folks quietly reading the paper, chatting, working on laptops. I was working on mine - great atmosphere for it - there's quite a lot of space and both times I visited, despite it being half-full, they was a sense of relative quiet - there was chatting, there was even a little girl playing in the toy corner, but it all felt very calm. And my little table with a retro lamp was great. Perfect. The cakes looked amazing too - some unusual options - but I'm trying to be good, so I didn't try them.

Definitely recommend.

We have always loved the George Street cafe, but today visited Robertson Street and it was not a nice experience. Great coffee, nice staff, but toddlers running riot and totally disinterested parents just sitting looking at their phones and not noticing how other customers were fed up with the noise and toys being driven arounds various tables. We have had young children ourselves, so it was frustrating and we wont use it again.

Definitely not as good as the bigger one near Hastings town centre. The staff are way nicer in the other one, and this one runs out of vegan cakes sometimes which is mainly what I go here for because they are so so good! Will stick to the town centre Hanushka instead.

We went to the Robertson St. Hanushka. The food was fine but to be honest it was spoilt by the grumpiness of the staff and no it wasn’t busy, it was about half full. I wouldn’t recommend asking for an oat milk cappuccino as whoever made mine clearly hadn’t been trained in the difference between using oat milk and cows milk. Won’t be retuning.

Well, it’s always interesting to be treated as the problem when I go out for coffee. It’s the usual problem: I ask, “do you have any gluten-free cakes?” Answer: “there’s a brownie”. Response: “but they are uncovered, next to the other cakes. So I can’t eat them, I’m celiac. It would be quite easy to cover them and keep them separate.” This is followed by: “It’s not up to us.” (And not in a pleasant tone, which provoked her colleague to tell us that our comments ‘would be passed on’). So I hope they have been. It really is quite simple: if you put your ‘gluten-free option’ next to all the other cakes, THEY’RE AREN’T GLUTEN FREE ANYMORE.

George Street: 30 min wait for 2 toasted sandwiches! No apology, just rudeness - waitress said she was on a break and the other was training!! On a break during the lunch rush doesn't seem to be the wisest move. It could so easily have been resolved with politeness and kindness, but instead we definitely won't be going back. Robertson Street one is great.

There’s an atmosphere of chaos, and the majority of staff seem flustered an irritable. The menu is “50 shades of beige” - nothing particularly interesting, mainly toasted sandwiches and the like. The cakes are unremarkable but the coffee was quite nice. On a positive note the interior decor is amazing. It’s such a shame about the overall experience as this place could have so much potential.

Haven’t been to the Old Town Hanushka for a while as the toilets smell disgusting and the smell is evident in the restaurant. Went in today and was horrified to see it’s still as bad, could actually smell it as we walked in door. We sat down to decide what to eat but the smell made us feel sick so we left. Such a shame as we always loved it here.
