Cake and lunch lead on Robertson Street, and the coffee is a step above the usual cake-shop default. Come for the slice and stay for a proper cup.

A Hastings cake counter that bothers to pour Pelicano from Brighton.

Good Grades★★ Specialty

A converted house on Hastings High Street where the espresso is a single origin, with its origin, varietal and tasting notes printed at the grinder. Order it as an espresso; it holds up better than most seaside cafés manage.

Cafe La Mer★ Everyday

An owner-run counter in Hastings where the cortado and flat white are judged right and the latte comes out sweet, never bitter or sour. Worth a stop on the way past Wellington Place.

Caffe Galleria★ Everyday

An arcade counter in Hastings pouring cappuccinos with properly textured milk, a rarer thing than it should be. Stay for the toasties and pastries.
