B London Rd0.6 mi from Hastings centrelast reviewed October 2026

A one-counter St Leonards spot on London Road where single-origin coffee gets proper care, and the latte art comes from a barista who clearly means it. The pastries and the seating make it an easy place to stay put.

A St Leonards counter where the owner knows more about coffee than the menu admits.

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.
