From Beans to Bottles: Kent Roaster Brings a Taste of Home to Hastings

From 8:30am, Hastings Wine & Coffee opens its doors with freshly brewed coffee from Bean Smitten, the much-loved Kent-based roaster. Visitors can enjoy expertly crafted blends and rotating filter options featuring beans from around the world. Whether it’s a quick coffee to-go or a relaxed catch-up with friends, there’s always something new to discover. Whole bean and freshly ground coffee are also available to take home.

But Hastings Wine & Coffee is more than just a coffee shop. By lunchtime, the space transforms into a wine-lover’s haven, pouring characterful wines from independent producers – bottles that won’t be found on supermarket shelves. From crisp whites and bold reds to elegant English sparklings, there’s always something interesting on offer, either by the glass or from the shelves.

The venue has quickly become a welcoming community hub, perfect for casual visits or organised gatherings. With regular book clubs, knitting circles, games nights and more, it’s a cosy space that encourages connection and conversation.

Whether it’s to kickstart the day or unwind after it, Hastings Wine & Coffee offers a warm welcome at 91 Queens Road, Hastings, TN34 1RL.b
