High St0.9 mi from Hastings centrelast reviewed October 2026

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.

A Hastings High Street counter that tells you what's in the hopper.

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.

Bolt Hole★ Everyday

Bolt Hole is a Norman Road coffee shop in St Leonards where the decaf gets singled out as the best around, and the almond croissants are the right thing to order alongside it.
