Artsplash Café
Colourful cheerful café (b, l; $)
Set back slightly from the main road, with a view across to the boardwalk, and the sea beyond, the Artsplash Café verandah is great for people watching. This is a cheerfully decorated community arts centre, art gallery and children’s play area all rolled into one, so a good place to snack if you have young kids. Plus, it hosts the Hastings farmers’ market (Wed, Sat & Sun) too.
Choose from a host of smoothies and freshly made juices, moderately priced healthy breakfasts of fruit bowls, bagels and eggs Hemingway, and equally tasty light lunches.
