Sturdee On The Rocks

You'll find Sturdee On The Rocks tucked away on a street that's quietly becoming Hastings' best-kept secret. It's the kind of place where the barista knows what they're doing—pulling shots with the kind of precision that makes you realise how many coffee shops are just winging it. The crowd here is mixed: creative types working on laptops, builders grabbing their morning fix, locals who've made it their unofficial office. The rating speaks for itself, and it's because they've nailed the fundamentals. Good coffee, proper service, none of the Instagram nonsense. It's casual but clearly cared for.
