New Ownership at Echo Beach Coffee: Welcome Chris Sullivan!

Apr 2026

We are excited to announce the sale of Echo Beach Coffee, the popular licensed coffee shop located in the heart of the vibrant Hastings Old Town. This charming seafront establishment, known for its "barista coffees, speciality teas," and much more, has officially been acquired by its new owner, Chris Sullivan.

The business occupies a prime location in a thriving tourist hotspot, enjoying views of the seafront and the unique "bohemian" atmosphere of the area. Beyond its reputation for quality beverages and light bites like paninis and pastries, the premises features a large commercial kitchen and flexible accommodation across three floors.

Business at a Glance:

Location: Prime seafront position in Hastings Old Town.

Offerings: Barista coffee, wines, spirits, beers, and a full breakfast and lunch menu.

Premises: Includes a ground-floor coffee shop, additional first-floor seating, and a second-floor residential area with a bedroom and meeting room.

Potential: While currently trading 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, there is significant scope to introduce evening openings.

We wish Chris the very best as he takes the helm of this local staple. Next time you’re strolling along the Hastings seafront, be sure to stop by and say hello!
