Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is becoming a regular spot for me because the breakfasts are delicious - I had a full English with fried eggs today but am steadily working my way through the menu - and the atmosphere and customer service are spot on

On the positive side: as a group we had a range of dietary needs, ranging from coeliac to vegan. The staff were extremely helpful with the ingredients, and there was a reasonable range of options - more than average. On the negative side: the portions...were 'snack-size' and very variable. I chose one of the specials as a main, with a bubble-&-squeak side, they were both the same size, and miniscule! So I ordered a side of fries, since I was still pretty hungry, and the fries were bigger than the main+side I'd just eaten together! 4 stars for catering to special dietary needs (cake selection for gluten-free & vegan wasn't great), 1 star for portions.More

Thanks very much for the review and for your feedback. Its very difficult to cater for groups with very different dietary requirements as we are just a small independent cafe and i am the owner and cook. This is likely why the majority of cafes...More

A great range of vegan and veggie food with lovely cakes and other options for the more conventional foodie. Good location and friendly staff. The sort of place we need more of in Hastings.

I really hope they keep the vegan ‘chicken’ kebab on the menu. It was absolutely amazing! The ‘chicken’ had a superb texture, coated in a really tasty and almost satay like seasoning. With flat bread, rainbow slaw, baba ganoush, and hot green chilli. Honestly one...of the best meals I’ve had in ages. The food was very reasonably priced, and the staff all wonderful. Thank you! Will be back soonMore

Nice coffee ruined by the overpowering taste of UHT milk! Unfortunately my flapjack was a little on the stale side too. But nice location, staff and ambience and food menu looks good.

Really lovely independent cafe with ingenious vegan dishes, and gluten free options. It took a while to arrive as Sunday brunchtime was extremely busy but I loved my vegan scramble which was a seedy, avocado mix - much more interesting than tofu versions I have...had elsewhere. I had to re-brand myself as a flexitarian to enjoy the pancakes -and glad I did! It's hard to see how the layout could be improved, but the tables for 2 aren't really big enough to get comfortable. Our dog was made welcome, but we had to move to a table for 3 for her to relax. I hope the cafe manages its popularity, as the food is good, but it probably needs to expand into a bigger space.More

Probably won’t be going back. Tables are cramped together and very low and uncomfortable. Food is good but a bit over priced for what you get.

Hard working family business. Delicious, home-cooked food, very friendly staff, quick service and a lovely location. My 11 and 5 year old are addicted to the pancakes! Often have activities you can book too, such as wreath making at Christmas. LOVE!!X

Food was good although my order was wrong. Staff were friendly. However they have cramped tables together so you are crammed into a small space with strangers all around. Hardly can hear the person you’re with but can hear both the conversations either side easily....Tables are way too low and wobbly (also uncleaned and sticky). Chairs are very uncomfortable with zero back support. Probably won’t be returning. Lots of vegan and GF options which is good.More

First class staff, friendly, cheerful and helpful in spite of being rushed off their feet as it was very busy. Good variety of vegan and veggie meals but was disappointed when I ordered a vegan salmon bagel and the 'salmon' was slices of squash. I...had been looking forward to a fishy snack but there was no hint of any fish flavour (like Nori seaweed). I just feel that this should be better clarified on the menu. Otherwise very good.More
