Delicious, variety of vegan options! - Edit
This place was great for vegans, they have their own section of vegan options - we went for breakfast and I could've had a vegan English breakfast, a brioche breakfast bap or a delicious sounding granola option with peach compot. We weren't overly hungry for the full breakfast but had a bap and a mug of tea which as you can was huge! It came with veggie sausage and two hash browns, and a variety of sauces were brought over so we went to town with the brown sauce.

Pros: Variety of vegan options , Shielded from the wind , Good prices and quantity of food
Cons: Brioche bun looked a bit sad but was still tasty

Really great lunch - Edit
Vegan options. Separate vegan, kids and GF menu. I had a VLT which they brought out with Vegan Mayo 🙌🏻. There was a short wait for food but we were told when ordering. Lovely surroundings. Would return if I was ever back in Hastings.

Turned out to be a great start to the day. - Edit
Went here after having the breakfast recommended. I was not disappointed. The portion size was good and cooked very nicely. The bread they use is lovely and just the right amount to go with the beans. They seem to have a lot of vegan snack options too. The 'school compliant' apple juice made me chuckle. Staff were quick and friendly. They coped with the awkward family infront of us in the queue with much more diplomacy than I would have mustered. Turned out to be a great start to the day.

Good for children but better vegan options nearby - Edit
It's OK, although I would say there are much better vegan options in the area (most notably the sushi place). The food is nothing special, I have been there two or three times and not been very impressed, but it's good to have the option I guess. As mentioned in other views, be prepared for literally millions of kids!

Vegan options available, Hastings seafront - Edit
The cafe has moved to the new building at The Stade near the Jerwood Gallery and the fishing huts on the seafront, from Claremont.
Read moreVegan options such as vegan cheese panini, beanburgers, vegan cheese or mushroom pate sandwiches / baguettes / jackets are still available but I do think there is more emphasis on fish and tourist food since the move. I guess this is unavoidable in the location.
It is still VERY child-friendly, with toys and stuff provided, child seats, and child portions of most dishes available. Nothing has been done to deal with acoustics so it can be a bit irritating to eat-in unless you are also "blessed" with a brat. In the Summer there are tables and chairs outside.
There are more staff now and not all seem to understand vegan-ism, so last time I ordered vegan cheese panini they served it with coleslaw which isn't vegan. That kind of mistake never used to happen.
They also stopped making vegan pizzas, which was one of the finest things they used to do.
For vegans this place has really gone downhill!

Enjoyable lunch - Edit
We were in Hastings for bank holiday weekend and the most irritating thing is that the veg*n-friendly places all seemed to be closed for the majority of the time. This place was no exception. We finally managed to find the place open one day and had a lovely meal. We shared a soup; my boyfriend had a vegetarian filled roll and I had the vegan mini-pizza. It was nice but not really enough to fill me up. Great people but the place was a little too child-friendly for a young couple on a romantic weekend away - it was a bit too much like a creche; very noisy and kids running around with toys climbing all over the place. I think that is the purpose this place is supposed to serve though. In any event, we were pleased to find somewhere in the area that could cater for vegans.

Nice vegan food but... - Edit
Read moreEat do some nice vegan food for lunch such as a mini vegan pizzas. Unfortunately the place resembles a creche so if you want a peaceful lunch some takeaway food from Trinity Wholefoods which is just around the corner can be a better option.
Pros: Nice pizza
Cons: Too child friendly
