Best French Bakery in Hastings

"27/05/2021: We remember the patisserie chain of old, and this is far from its glamorous past. So gloomy, a torn chair at our table, only one toilet working. The serviettes were thin and unbranded."

"Petit Fi meets the standards of warm, friendly service and something-for-everyone menu people expect from a cute, awning-ed cafe on a coastal town’s scenic busy road. It’s the rotating menu that proves the owners are the kind to be overjoyed at the sight of locally foraged mushrooms and what they could do with them. Kedgerees, kormas, and various brunchy egg dishes are scrawled on a blackboard; it’s likely there will be a filo tart that changes with the seasons — carrot, caraway and feta; Stilton, apples and walnut — while five or six cakes sit pretty on plates by the counter, nice for an in-between-reservations snack."

"20/05/2021: The best eggs Benedict I have ever had absolutely delicious and very friendly survive. Lovely large pot of tea for two and good price I have really told people about it I will definitely be back. 02/02/2021: During our permitted lockdown walk through the old town, we stopped here for a takeout.We had leek and potato soup with a brioche bun."

"The Fig is well known around town for its delightful brunch offering, but the globetrotting evening menu is worth your time too - choose between the likes of pulled pork tacos and spicy Bombay fish cakes."

"An independent cafe that gives residents of Eastbourne incredible brunch and speciality coffee since 2014 in a cosy, lively, cheery environment. Their menu changes every three months offering you something new and exciting!. One reviewer said: "I am vegan and I'm so happy with the options here... it's not overpriced lettuce. The avocado on toast with pickled beetroot and all the other bits is so yum for breakfast and for lunch the tofu teriyaki bowl is amazing (and filling!)."

"Beanzz is one of the most popular cafes in Eastbourne and is guaranteed to provide a warm welcome and a vibrant atmosphere. The dog-friendly café is one of the quirkier additions the town has to offer, with bold coloured walls and vintage decor. The café offers a variety of hot drinks, smoothies and ice creams as well as hearty breakfasts and a renowned selection of home made bakes."

"27/05/2021: This place is NOT at all for solo visitors and workers. They have a policy of no laptops between 10am-3pm during the week to maintain the ‘social atmosphere’. I can understand this from a business perspective, to stop people taking up space during the busiest hours, but it is extremely isolating for what could be a majority of their customers."

"Occupying a prime spot at the foot of pretty Mermaid Street, this cafe could be thoroughly mediocre and still turn a profit – but thankfully, it’s a little wonder, with jolly, slightly beachy decor that’s thoroughly welcoming. The front counter groans with cakes, pastries and other treats; pop in for a takeaway coffee or ice-cream, or take a seat for a great breakfast (prepared by the hotel kitchen upstairs), a cream tea or a light lunch – the Scotch eggs are recommended. The Strand, Rye TN31 7DB"

"An hour to wait for the food,with no explanation for the delay. When it arrived there were pieces of eggshell embedded in the egg. The staff were trying their best, but the entire place was disorganised and looked like it was on the verge of collapsing."

"Using only the finest and freshest ingredients, our talented chefs offer a wide and diverse menu packed with culinary delights for you to enjoy."
