Sunshine European Cafe And Bar in Hastings

Thank you , Irina! Amazing food! Very hospitality place 🫶💐

Saturday, 11:30am, Caffe is closed.

Great cafe serving European breakfast lunch and dinners. Also full English breakfast and light foods salads. Excellent service very helpful friendly staff and very good value. I had an English breakfast and tea and they had lots of different choices of sausage. My friend had dumplings and a great fresh fruit juice. Very nice place for a brunch lunch or more

Fabulous place. Tried lots of the dishes from here now and every one a winner so far! Schnitzels, Countryman and potato rostis (can't remember the proper name) the favourites so far. And the ghoulash too, and Rossol salad. Seriously, it's all great. My tip, just ask for a recommendation, you won't be disappointed. 😃

Great place! Good food, very tasty! Nothing on the menu tastes bad! Great place to try something new!

Absolutely amazing place, so intimate, so friendly, so welcoming! The food is delicious, very good value, and is clearly freshly prepared with love and care. This is a truly wonderful cultural experience for any Western European, to live the Eastern European way for an evening! A must try for locals and visitors to Hastings alike! I recommend the Shashlik!

Great owners. Awesome food. Super atmosphere. Will definitely get back to there again 👍😁

Outstanding coffee and breakfast friendly welcoming

Staff were really nice and friendly, food was good. I would go back

Food is always tasty and the staff are very kind and friendly, would highly recommend to anyone

Amazing place! An amazing environment and amazing staff!

I just love to eat in a place where I feel comfortable in someone's home, and they cook really well!

Восточноевропейская домашняя кухня. Это не просто кафе и магазин, это много бОльшее, особенно для русскоговорящей местной диаспоры но и не только. По вторникам кормят пенсионеров со скидкой, по средам скидка 50% для всех, по пятницам вечером тусовки. Вот просто не знаю каким бы был Гастингс без Саншайна. Конечно же это место такое доброе и хорошее благодаря тем, кто создал и держит этот бизнес. Душа, любовь, дружба, тепло. Спасибо Вам ребята и с наступающим пятилетним юбилеем!

Delicious Eastern European food that's really good value, highly recommend!

Wery frendly staff and tasty cakes🍰🍰🍰😍

Really nice staff. Really excellent food. Two of ate until we were stuffed and both enjoyed every mouthful. Tidy tasty food. Friendly helpful staff, very patiently describing the foods we didn't know. Lots of dishes from different regions of Europe, yes including full English breakfast. I don't say this often but if there was an option for 6 stars this restaurant deserves it.

Excellent Eastern European good. Very affordable too.

Food staff are great and polite welcoming

Nice food and drink, reasonably priced, very friendly and prompt service Will try different foods next time

An enjoyable breakfast with tea and have tried many of the European dishes and beers which were all enjoyed by my wife and I on many occasions

Very nice home made food, cheap prices and friendly stuff :)

Best place to go for East European food and best beer in Hastings! very very recommend!!!

Little restaurant but great owners. Organised a birthday party for us, delicious food and great service. All guests were very happy and everyone enjoyed it!! Definitely will go again 🥰

Excellent authentic Latvian/Russian food and friendly service. Worth a visit.

Really friendly little cafe and tasty food

Great take away service with friendly personable owners. Only place I will go for the best coffee in town and also making sure safety is no 1 priority for every customer of there's. Try for yourself 🙂

We have used this little cafe occasionally for the last year or so, and we had take out meals from here during the lock down. We were very pleased to see that they were open for lunch this Saturday, and so we ordered our favourite 'Sunshine Schnitzels' with roast potatoes (which were delicious as usual). We were about to leave when it started raining....so we decided to stay for dessert. This was a very good decision, as the brandy banana & caramel waffle was excellent (with a generous measure of brandy) and my fellas honey pancakes went down a treat too. When lots of places are closing or difficult to get in without advance booking, it was lovely just to be welcomed in with a smile no fuss. There is plenty of choice on the menu, and the prices are very reasonable (so having a dessert afterwards is not a difficult decision....) We shall be using this little gem more frequently in the future, as it fully deserves our custom (and we really need to try the homemade coffee cake!)

Had a takeaway sandwich had parked my car around the corner and were no free tables. The owner asked if I would like to sit in the garden, so nice of her to offer lovely lights garden and very peaceful. I took the sandwich home, £4.90 for a big sandwich. I think it was the sunshine sandwich - delicious and well wrapped to keep the bread crisp I’m a chef and usually very picky and never have I ever posted a review in my life but this was exceptional

It was lunchtime and we were hungry . We didn’t even know this place was here . So nice to choose something different to eat . Lovely food .

Lovley spot to stop and have a coffee or some food. Delicious cakes and savoury dishes all home made. A warm and cosy atmosphere and a very scenic spot for a walk :) Camping and activities available at certain times of the year.

We went in on Saturday and had a very pleasant surprise. Russian/Latvian food, beautifully cooked, good coffee & licenced bar. Very reasonable prices. Small & cosy, nice atmosphere, Friendly staff and really good service. Dog friendly. Highly recommended.

Queen's Road is rapidly improving with interesting establishments emerging - shops, cafes, restaurants. This modest cafe is really lovely with a big variety of Eastern European dishes. The family running the establishment are Latvian and they are most friendly and welcoming. The prices are extremely reasonable and they even go extra mad on Wednesdays when much of the menu has a 50% discount. Tuesday's has a 25% discount for older people. The delicious pork and chicken schnitzel dishes have a large choice of interesting sauces. I had the white garlic which was lovely, creamy and indeed the presence of garlic was noted. There are good fish choices of salmon and sea bass. Vegetarians won't starve but it is not the emphasis. All the food is served in copious quantities. There are lovely blinis. and waffles for dessert and it is licenced. I had a most agreeable meal in a convivial setting.

Great food and cozy place with good atmosphere

We enjoyed our russian dumplings and pancakes with meat, latvian beer and deserts for our kids were perfect too. All the food were delicious and freshly cooked. The owner of the place is a very friendly girl, the whole atmosphere there is welcoming and cosy. Recommend

cheap but food was disgusting, pork schnitzel tasted like a shredded leather shoe sole with bread crumbs deep fried, cut hardly cut and chew it, clientele like the salvation army soup kitchen, the beer was ok coming out of a bottle, would not take my dog there for a meal

Went for lunch today and had some delicious pancakes stuffed with cheese and mushrooms and lovely potato cakes like rosti. The white garlic sauce was a bit like tzatziki and to die for. Exceptional value we will return!

Good cafe with home cooking. Often we go with the whole family. Kids really like it.

We decided to visit for lunch after Sunshine had some publicity (advertising) in the local paper. We had not appreciated how distinctive the menu was, with strong Latvian and Russian influences. Lunch was delicious: tuna wrapped in a pancake with sour cream and herbs. Very tasty, and not too filling. Service very prompt and friendly. This place deserves to do well, it is worth a visit to try something different to eat.

Friendly staff, fast service, intriguing (and delicious) menu, and really reasonable prices. Very happy - thanks.

Friendly helpful staff. Excellent food. Lovely surroundings.

Went in for a late lunch on a rainy day midweek. Sad to find I was the only person in there. This place deserves to be heaving. I had the best veggie burger that I have ever had. Food was lovely and beautifully presented. Prices were great. Burger, Latte and Chocolate and Banana Blinis for less than a tenner! Waitress was very friendly. A very good range of eastern european food. I shall be back to try some of the menu items which I have never eaten before. Accessible for wheelchairs BUT two steps up to the toilet.

Stumbled across this place one morning and so glad that we did. The staff were super friendly and accommodating and the food was delicious. If you are looking for something unique, this little Latvian cafe will not disappoint. The juices are equally as yummy and all very reasonably priced. Will definitely visit again if I'm ever in the area.

Happened upon this place by accident and what a find! Amazing hospitality and great, delicious food. We had some juices first and then Latvian filled pancake, and savoury dumplings. Clean, cheap and friendly staff.

Top notch Eastern European bar cafe. Great food and a friendly atmos.

My favourite place in Hastings. Tasty food, warm atmosphere and very friendly people. Highly recommend this place.

Delicious food great tea and very inexpensive. Friendly very attentive staff too. My favourite cafe when I'm in town

My favourite little cafe in Hastings. Irena does a great selection of interesting East European food, as well as everything you'd expect in an English cafe. Her cakes are absolutely to die for.

The simple and clean appearance of this place suggests it might just be a another cafe serving standard fare, but it is different. The menu (substantial and with infinite variations on request) is Eastern European but I could not guess where most of the dishes come from. Some are identified by name. We've explored various vegetarian options, all of which were excellent - the 'veggie burger' can be filled with fried potato cake, egg, mushrooms, different cheeses and sauces. They are really good and the bread is unique too. Delicious. The owners will adapt to your taste so it's worth having a chat. If you're a veggie and fancy something different to the typical quorn sausage variation of a fry-up, this place are a real treat. Coffee is good, soya and other options available. Not expensive. It's a short walk from the shopping centre. The staff are friendly and polite. They deserve to succeed.

Amazing food, very clean, nice personnel.

Really delicious, good value European food. Cafe atmosphere is very relaxed and comfortable and the owner is lovely and has great recommendations when you can't decide between some menu items
