Poffley's coffee shop in Hastings

Really amazing sandwiches. Had the pastrami one day, the sauerkraut was fantastic and the whole sandwich was great. Another day we ate in and had a chicken sandwich and a chicken wrap, they were both great, really tasty and huge portions together with a nice ly dressed salad

Kippers egg and tomatoes on toast - best breakfast I’ve ever had and the service was perfect t - little gem of a place

Just had a lovely filling lunch here today. Picked off the specials so had roast pork,potatoes and sour salad. Good food ,nice people.

We enjoyed a great lunch at Puffleys. All staff were very friendly and very helpful. The food and service were excellent. We will most certainly return - it is well worth a visit (and also good value for money)

Popped into grab a coffee with a friend to takeaway. The lady behind the counter was ok with the dogs being in as we were only grabbing a coffee to go. Chef came out of the kitchen and was incredibly brusque and rude to me as the dogs were in despite being given permission to be there. Can't rate their coffee as didn't end up having any. Chefs attitude towards paying customers was appalling. Shame as it looked nice in there and rhe other staff were good

What a lovely cafe Great Food great prices beautifully presented and lovely staff V clean and tidy worth a visit

Best coffee and food. You get plenty of food. Delicious I recommend Poffleys to anyone. Very welcoming

Love this cafe and look forward to visiting my mum to have lunch. Sacha and Co are so friendly and the place is always beautifully clean. Would highly recommend the White Bean with homemade sausage & beef soup and the homemade goulash so much so that we have started taking a portion home with us back to London!

I had the most amazing prawn sandwich and cappuccino here and my husband had a full English and cappuccino. Very friendly people, relaxing, one of those special places you find. Would recommend for everyone to try.

We are coming to eat here quite often, mostly at the lunch time. Superb food, very tasty and good value for money. I love their goulash ❤️

The staff were very friendly but the coffee was on the weaker side. You may need to ask for an extra shot. Can’t comment on any other drinks or food as we didn’t have them.

We are now regulars, as we so enjoy the food and Sasha's bubbly personality and warm welcome! The food is tasty, good value. The cakes are very nice, and the Victorian sponge is the best I've ever tasted! The decor is so very different from Sasha & Roberts predecessors, so I've enclosed photos. For some reason, the existing Trip Advisor business photos can't be changed? Such a shame, as fabulous little place.

What a stylish transformation since the new owners took over! It's a regular spot to have an excellent coffee and bite to eat, the cakes don't disappoint either! Sasha is a bubbly, enthusiastic delight, always a warm welcome everytime you go. Her husband Robert, the chef, equally a nice guy, quieter. You won't regret a stop here. Good value for money, good food. The enthusiastic welcome from Sasha will draw you back, lovely woman.

Lovely cafe. Visited with my husband. Wide variety of home cooked food. I had a jacket potato with cheese and my hubby had a tasty burger. The food was good, the lady and man seving were very nice. I will definitely visit again.

The staff were so friendly, I was really impressed by the vegan menu & that salad was definitely something write home about. Large vegan wrap. We came for breakfast there both days of our stay. My friend had perfect poached eggs & the her milk shake was made with fresh strawberries. Can’t fault it.

We’ve just visited Poffleys, we was very pleasantly surprised. The food was DELICIOUS and the coffee was great and the staff were very nice too. We will definitely be returning. Great lunch! Thank you to all the staff. 🙏🏻🤩🤩🤩🤩

The staff are very accommodating I asked for scrambled eggs to be replaced with poached eggs and they was more than happy to do so. The strawberry milk shake is a must have! Made with real strawberries. The poached eggs was perfect!!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The salad...

We were staying at the Royal Victoria and turned left a few doors and stumbled upon the fabulous little cafe. We enjoyed it that much we had breakfast on 2 occasions. Very friendly staff. I had omelette one day and 2 poached eggs on toast...

Found this amazing place for breakfast everyday. Poffleys offer a range of delicious breakfast options for everybody! Reasonably priced and friendly welcoming staff! Fabulous homemade cakes and milkshakes. Cant recommend enough!

The coffee shop serves delicious cakes and food, all homemade. The coffee is my favourite in the area too. Friendly staff and always welcoming. Definitely my new favourite place to visit. My dogs love it as well as they always get a treat!

Enjoyed my coffee from here. Located perfectly for a seafront walk. Staff were friendly and had a lovely chat. Price reasonable.

This is a lovely place, quite unique, super service and so friendly. The coffee is the best ever. Always go here.

Service not as good as usual. The staff are usually friendly. I'm a frequent visitor, so felt a little out of sorts by the service from the waitress. Also, if you don't have special dietary items, could you update it on the chalk board? Saves...

We stopped here for lunch and had roasted vegetable soup and a sandwich with hummus, olive and tomato. Very friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere and great care taken with Covid safety measures.

Love this place and always enjoy breakfast when visiting a friend locally! Friendly service and delicious food, freshly cooked

Lovely, friendly cafe, perfect after a walk along the seafront. Fabulous cakes which aren’t the normal manufactured rubbish you get in most places. Coffee is good too. Really nice, will be back.

I have always had a very warm welcome. Food is really good and priced well. Lovely atmosphere. Well worth a visit

Popped in for a takeaway coffee on a lovely sunny September day. Great coffee, looked like a good menu and people certainly seemed to be enjoying their food. Owner very friendly and helpful. Will certainly be one if my go to places when we move...

I enjoy going to this cafe and they are aware of my unusual requests at time and are happy to put it together! But now I usually stick to the cheese and chutney sandwich! :-) the clementine cake and the chocolate cake is the best!...

We’ve visited a couple of times now. The food is simple and well-done, with fresh (and local) produce at its heart. Potentially gets overlooked in favour of some of the cafe culture favourites on Kings Road and Norman Road, but Poffleys more than holds its...

Properly hot hot chocolate and crumpet, not to mention warmest of welcomes in this cosy cafe. Will be back!

Situated on the prom between Bexhill and Hastings is this laid-back coffee shop, offering a good cup of coffee (non-dairy milk available), homemade cakes and freshly prepared snacks to holidaymakers, walkers and cyclists following national cycle route 2. The owners are super friendly and the atmosphere is one of home from home. I always stop by when cycling past. Highly recommended!

What a lovely find. Wonderful home made soup, great service and so friendly. Certainly a place to visit again.

Parked at the opposite end of the old town and walked along and came across Poffleys.Amazing service, very imformative and accommodating.Very reasonable prices, freshly prepared food. We had baked potatoes with a choice of fillings as they are cooked in an oven not microwaved. Children had bacon rolls with crisps on the side.Clean and tidy Would highly recommend.

Lovely diner, with warm welcoming staff. Great gluten free selection of cakes (yummmm) and replacement on the savoury menu. Good wholesome food!

Went there for the first time today. Luke was very friendly and welcoming, gave great service. We had the chicken stew and mash - beautifully cooked, nicely served, and not expensive. Not a huge menu selection, but our food was delicious. Price was good, atmosphere was good, and this will be the first of many visits here :)

I just popped in to this cafe for a cup of coffee as had 20mins to kill and was very impressed with the friendly welcome. Staff seem very committed. I will certainly go in again and try their menu.

Had a very warm welcome and then saw that they had great Gluten and Vegetarian options as well as the standard menu. Food and Coffee were great plus it'd be rude not to have a lump of Gluten free cake eh! Been back a few times now and always a warm and friendly welcome and great food

This place is a little gem, it really is. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and the prices are so reasonable. It's great value for money with locally sourced good quality food. The 'Poffley's Big Breakfast' is amazing and cooked to perfection, it's delicious, all of the flavours compliment each other and unlike a lot of cooked breakfasts it's not greasy and you don't leave feeling bloated and unhealthy. We're so glad we discovered this place, it has a really lovely and relaxed atmosphere. You get amazing value for money unlike a lot of places that will rip you off and charge ridiculous prices for meals which aren't even half as good quality as they are here. I can foresee many more visits in future because now we're addicted and can't wait to try the other lovely meals on the menu. It's so nice to have such a quaint and lovely local business in a town where you were born and raised and I really hope this place continues to be a success. Lovely people who go that extra mile to make sure your visit is a good one. Well worthy of my five star review and definitely worth visiting, if you don't it's your loss.

Great food, great hosts, great coffee, fabulous location, my fabourite cafe in St Leonards, has a sign saying 'no wifi here. talk to each other like you did in 1995'. Luke has a smile and a welcome for everyone. Attracts quite a few St Leonrards 'characters' can be very entertaining.

Excellent little coffee shop with food which caters for vegetarians and gluten free. Friendly service. Good coffee.

Only came here for a coffee and bit of cake, now I have a loyalty card and cant get enough of the place, great coffee, outstanding milkshakes and fab food well worth a visit

Great places for having breakfast, lunch or a cup of delicious coffee. The sausages are very yummy. The service is always great too!

Stumbled across this amazing little coffee shop whilst looking for a quick breakfast. Coffee superb, fantastic breakfast and super friendly owner! Good old fashioned hospitality! We'll be back....

The staff and owner were very helpful and service was good.They cater for celiac and vegetarians and were happy to adapt food ordered to fit these dietary requirements.

This is a superb cafe. Really lovely food all fresh and tasty. The staff are just lovely, so friendly and welcoming. We had breakfast for 4 people and it was superb value.

I’m writing this as I sit outside in my car (sleeping kid) so that I defjnifely don’t forget. I ordered take out and I’ve just been handed the best sandwich I’ve ever had... really really lovely guys. Thanks

I go there all the time to grab a bite to eat before work and I can honestly say they are some of the nicest people around. Amazing food and you always feel so welcome.

Unexpectedly found this when looking for somewhere for breakfast when catching up with old friends. The main server was great - making a lovely effort with our 2 year old boy, and very attentive with his service. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. I can personally recommend the smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. It’s not a fancy restaurant but I would definitely recommend it / consider coming back next time!

Stopped of for a quick breakfast when checking out of our hotel a few doors down, we all ordered bacon rolls which were yummy!!! owner was really nice and chatty!

Lovely warm welcome and friendly service. Delicious coffee and very tasty bacon roll and scrambled egg. Quirky and attractive environment.

Proper bacon! The full breakfast feels clean with no greasy after taste! Definitely going to go back! Thanks!

Friendly people, decent coffee and food and pleasant place all-round. Popped by because I slightly randomly found myself in the area with an hour to kill and wanted a place to have a coffee and scrambled eggs on toast while doing a bit of work on my laptop. Fit the bill perfectly, recommended.

Hidden gem of a cafe, with great vegan options as well as kid-friendly food in a lovely setting. Loved it, our lunchtime visit made my day!

We went here a few weeks ago on a Saturday & bought a couple of very tasty bacon rolls as a treat. The service was friendly and quick as usual. Whenever we get a take away from here the food is always still very hot by the time we have made it the short distance home.

I had read the good reviews so wanted to try it out.

I was staying in a hotel close to Poffley's coffee shop. One afternoon my boyfriend and I decided to have a quick branch there; without a doubt it was one of the best sandwiches I had in St Leonards. Fresh bread, salads and yummy coffee! The coffee shop's owner was super nice too.

My family and I visited at the end of the day for a quick bite to eat. The food was delicious and service was friendly. We would definitely visit again.

Went for a family breakfast - three of us had sausage sandwiches (nice) but mum had the mushrooms and scrambled egg on toast which she said was the best she'd ever had. Staff were friendly and helpful. Recommended.

We came here due to TripAdvisor reviews and weren't disappointed. Lovely food and great service from the friendly staff. Would definitely head back!

Stayed at the Royal Victoria hotel next door, but came here for breakfast. As usual great food and lovely service. Recommended.

I only had tea but I enjoyed the friendly and efficient service. The place was quite busy and there was a nice atmosphere.

Needs ventilation, small café smelt of cooking sticky tables in need of decoration. Cake prices were considered to be too expensive. Didn't check out the rest of the menu

Visited Poffley's Coffee Shop for the first time in several years and was delightfully surprised by the change. To be honest it isn't a coffee shop anymore, it is a lovely place to savour delicious and reasonably priced light meals, also cakes etc. Lots of gluten free products, locally sourced products. Also incredibly courteous and friendly staff. Me and my friend Jayne loved it and I shall definitely be returning & spreading the word!

I had an hour to spare in St Leonard's and as advised by Trip Advisor, headed here for some coffee. It was lovely, had a proper natter to the owner, 2 cups of coffee it was that good (making my way up the loyalty card, yes I will be loyal!) and really enjoyed the décor and atmosphere. Thank you!

Nice drinks here and a simple snack menu. They do daily soups and a couple of hot daily special meals. They offer a soup and sandwhich deal which is nice.

Serves a range of breakfasts and lunches in a pleasantly informal way. All is made to order. The specials board is exceptional.

This cafe on the seafront could not be more welcoming and friendly. Add to that great coffee and food - all-day breakfasts, including scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and chives; interesting sandwiches (a good veggie selection); hot specials; yummy cakes - and a fun, colourful interior, or tables outside in the sunshine and you've got a place not to miss when visiting St Leonards.

Discovered this gem on our weekend trip down to St Leonards (very convenient as we stay at Marina Court) I had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on sour dough..... yummy Defo worth a trip in, staff lovely and v friendly too

Was worth the walk down from Alexandra Park today. Lovely service, delicious breakfast and good coffee. My 7year old enjoyed her chocolate milkshake too. Recommended.

Hoping for morning coffee with a sea view at Azur, we found it closed at 11a.m.

Such a lovely charming quirky place, full of character. I loved everything from the fresh tastes, to the funny decor, the personalised service by the manager (I think Luke) and to the delicious hot chocolate with marshmallows that my kids absolutely loved!

I was surprised to find such a smart little cafe, a bit quirky which I like. The owner was a young chap very friendly.a relaxed atmosphere. His menu was varied for all tastes normal and vegetarian. The food was well prepared and tasty and reasonably priced. a nice experience

I frequented this lovely cafe at least once a week whilst working near by and the food is lovely. Toasties and Paninis are a little over priced by the taste is worth it

Such a friendly place with great food. Plenty of choice too. I would definitely recommend a visit if you are in the

This is my first time in this café and then I am really surprise with quality of its food and good attention from the woners. And also is really good relation quality/prices. I'm sure I will go back again!

Friendly cafe with freshly cooked breakfasts and well crafted coffee. A real change from the corporate, all with a sea view as an added bonus. Quirky surroundings and a relaxed atmosphere make this a great little find.

The staff were so accommodating & very friendly & the food was excellent, I would definitely recommend it & will be going back again & again.

This is a small café/coffee shop just across the road from the promenade at St Leonard's. I sometimes have breakfast there as a treat. The food is always beautifully prepared, good choices and really excellent coffee.

We were walking along the beachfront from Bexhill to Hastings and spotted this cafe as we came into St Leonards. The coffee was nice, food was good value and the staff were really friendly and helpful.

We are sitting here having had great coffee and delicious food, reasonably priced and cooked fresh. Always good to find somewhere for us both to eat - Hubby is veggie! Right by the sea with friendly staff. You can't go wrong!

Popped in for breakfast and was not disappointed .Lovely food ,scrambled eggs were really good! great service. Thank you

We had a excellent lunch with a great atmosphere , staff were attentive and friendly ! We will be going back again soon .

Went for lunch and had a lovely meal. The staff are exceptionally friendly. Very cosy inside. Would recommend.

Friendly Staff Just right for end of week chill out munch cant wait to try the Breakfast on a Sunday .

Excellent service, amazing sausage sandwich. Love this place. Always welcoming. Clean and friendly. I visit at least twice a week and will continue to do so.

We parked down the lower end of Hastings as our usual car park was closed As we walked up to the pier we passed this lovely coffee house and the delicious smell of bacon wafted out. So we decided to stop for a bacon sandwich. Excellent choice the food was excellent. The staff very friendly and helpful a really nice atmosphere. On our way back we called in again for a toasted sandwich and salad. Excellent once again. Well worth visiting if you're in hastings.

Best coffee I've had in ages to go with a chocolate brownie to die for - in fact it was so lovely I almost did! Really great service with a smile & chat. The new owners seem really nice and interested in their customers I was made to feel very welcome.

Quaint place by sea. Great service. Simple food but fresh. Nice coffee. Cater nicely for vegetarians and try hard for vegans too. They serve a sandwhich and soup deal which is great value. The mixed vegetable sandwhich is lovely!!!

First time having a wander around our new neighbourhood and I came across this gem of a cafe! Situated half way along Marina it's well worth a stop. The coffee is great, just about to order a second one and the breakfast is even better!

Popped in for a coffee and enjoyed a very warm welcome from someone who clearly knows the science behind making a great coffee. Really friendly, and fantastic cheese scones. Certainly worth another visit.

Excellent coffee, cheese scones and cakes. Kids love the Poffleys decorating the quirky furniture. Right opposite the sea front. Great pit stop when having a bracing walk on the prom!

I visited Poffleys recently whilst out for a walk along the seafront. Whilst they don't allow dogs inside the cafe they gave us blankets to sit outside and the service was great. Both of the members of staff I encountered were great with kids. The coffee was good too.

It has been a year since we last found ourselves in the area and Poffleys remains our coffee shop of choice in St Leonards. Him and I found Poffleys still has a warm, welcoming, relaxed atmosphere. We loved the touches like local artwork and tea and coffee sets for sale, Poffleys home made cushions and cup holders. The 2 chef prepared soups of the day came with huge fresh warm rolls, as ever the tea and mocha was delicious. Do try.

I always try to pop in here when in St leonards Nice food Nice people and also to see what Grandad is dressed in. Top place you really should try it

A visit to my wife's hairdresser found us here. Technically in St Leonards on Sea, right on the seafront at an area known as Marina from the liner shaped apartments above the shops, once the tallest such block in England. Like so many wonderful places in the area, an eclectic mix which gives charm. As another reviewer says, other tables join in the buzz and it is all very friendly. Parking outside, free of charge, good coffee, good hot food all lifts it above the regular local cafe. Coupled with the charm and friendliness of the host, greatly recommended.

Hubby had full English and I had salmon and scrambled egg on toast, stunning and very tasty. Friendly owner and nice interior. Great location over looking the beach. Makes a decent brew too.

Great to sit outside and people watch, good breakfasts and lunches, very friendly atmosphere, definitely highly recommend .

This is the kind of place where people on different tables talk to each other. It serves comfort food like veggie sausages, peas, mash and onion gravy; macaroni cheese; home made cakes. Also has my unsweetened soya milk.

Had lunch on impulse here attracted by the menu and friendly atmosphere. Tasty and good value carrot and coriander soup and smoked salmon with cream cheese sandwich. Would definitely eat here again to sample the rest of the menu with some interesting vegetarian choices.
