Bullet Coffee House

Bullet Coffee House in Hastings is the kind of café where the dog walk can quietly turn into brunch, cake, coffee, and “we’ll just sit for a bit.” Set on Robertson Street, close to the town centre and seafront, it’s a handy dog-friendly stop for anyone exploring Hastings with a lead in one hand and coffee plans in the other.

This independent coffee house serves breakfast, brunch and lunch, with toasties, homemade cakes, brownies, countertop treats and a changing specials board. The menu is especially strong for mixed groups, with vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free and meat options, so it works well when everyone wants something slightly different and nobody wants menu negotiations before caffeine.

Inside, it has that relaxed, lived-in café feel that suits slow catch-ups, solo stops, post-walk refuelling and rainy-day plotting. Dogs are welcome inside, and water bowls are available too, which makes it a useful Hastings café for dog owners who want somewhere genuinely easy rather than “technically allowed if everyone behaves like a Victorian footman.”
