Amazing as per usual! We got the salmon bagel, salad with flatbread, and double chocolate cake. All tasted amazing, food was so fresh. Coffee was great too, especially the mocha! One of the best cafes in Hastings for sure, the staff are so welcoming and the outdoor seating area is very nice. Highly recommend!

A wonderful find nestled in the busy bohemian area of St Leonards. What a treat! I ventured up to St Leonards with an old friend and we were pleased to discover this quaint little coffee shop. Sat outdoors in the mild April warmth, we were served a wonderfully strong black coffee, as black as plimsolls and my friend, Ratchel had a luscious looking espresso banana smoothie. Watch out for the pumpkin seeds I would add, but these aside it looked great. I had a sausage roll which was served warm with a tangy tomato salsa, not something I expected however it was a pleasant surprise. The pastry was flakey and light and the sausage was as I like it, meaty with a firm bite. Next up were out bagels. Layers of salty prosciutto tucked in to the soft chewy warm bagel with peppery rocket, sun dried tomatoes which gave an occasional pop of sharp intensity and a thick sugary twang of balsamic glaze. Delightful! The staff were very friendly and I was more than impressed by this dainty little place. Check this establishment out, brilliant!

Delicious flavourful food, lots of healthy choices to choose from, we had the East open toast, a piece of art to look at and a delight to eat. Yummy Chai Latte too, Very friendly staff and a gorgeous courtyard, definitely recommend.

The almond croissant needs to be a staple on arrival - not your usual and so delicious. Friendly attentive staff, lovely treehouse homely feel around the back, a cosy space with great food and beverage options. Highly recommend!

The food and ambience in Fika are both outstanding. But the real joy of the place are their staff. They are some of the most outstanding I have ever come across dealing with everything from simply being pleasant to dealing in a superb way with some occasionally incredibly difficult people. Absolutely outstanding! Couldn’t recommend it more highly!

This is a beautiful cafe in St Leonard’s... the decor of the cafe is really cute and tasteful, especially the garden area which is a lovely space to enjoy coffee/or lunch. There were some really delightful sounding salads on the menu. We opted for bagels which were delicious. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and showed such a genuine interest in us. Nothing was any trouble and the atmosphere was really chilled and relaxed. The indoor areas have screens up between tables to comply with covid, and marks on floor to keep distance when queuing. There is a toilet available on premises too. All in all, a really delightful little cafe that is well worth a visit.

Great brunch here following the Hastings parkrun. We enjoyed two of the open toasts (butter bean and the avo halloumi), both were delicious and very well presented. Would definitely recommend. Salads on display looked great too.

Excellent cafe - a really good find. Good food, great coffee, lovely atmosphere and owner, nice decor and close to St Leonards Warrior Square station. I think the prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity and the cafe was certainly busy. Will go here again, not least because there are vegan options and oat milk!
