 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Probably the best ice cream you will ever taste - properly creamy and a step above the gelato you usually get these days. Chocolates are anazing too. Stunning

Just bought a vegan ice cream it was a lovely coconut flavour.

They make nearly everything except the liquorice sweets.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Rarely do you walk into a shop that smell divine and are greeted and served by a knowledgable and attentive person. We were talked through all the chocolates and asked our choices. Since then we have had two postal orders of our favourites and they are as delicious as the first taste.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  This was the best ice cream that we've ever eaten! The coffee was also amazing. The iced latte was made with handmade iced coffee cubes. The staff are very nice and friendly too. Highly recommended, one of the best coffee shops we've ever been to!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Popcorn and Pretzel ice plus Chocolate Brownie ice cream was ridiculously lovely.
Espresso was perfect. I've eaten many many an ice cream and that is top or almost top. Almost religious ✨

 recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook.  Fantastic hand made chocolates.  Wonderfully delicious.  Bought several boxes as Christmas presents.  Lovely personal friendly service.  💯 satisfaction.  We are lucky enough to be local but they also deliver.  Small, independent business that deserves more than 5 stars!

 Verified  Incredible chocolates
We were given a gift box for Easter and the chocolates within were the nicest I have ever tasted. We visited the shop in Hastings and were again blown away by the quality of the chocs, just outstanding. The cola cup was my favourite. Not cheap, but worth it!

 Verified  My new happy place for 2026, glad to have found this beautiful chocolate shop
Fine chocolate lovers - Amazing selection of quality hot chocolates ( winter warming one tried today was perfect for current weather) plus many other coffee and tea delights. Individual chocolates and bars to delight all with the flavour selections plus a unique liquorice pick and mix with wide ranging flavours to try, all excellent my husband reports having sampled the selection I tool home to him. Shall be back soon for more flavours and perhaps a course day!

 Verified  Truffle Making workshop with Coastal Coco
James did a truffle making workshop for 13 of us at the weekend of us last weekend and it was absolutely brilliant! He provided everything we needed and we made the most delicious truffles. James also took us through a tasting session of a selection of different chocolate in varying stages which was really interesting and educational. Everyone had such a fun afternoon and I can't recommend this highly enough.

 Verified  Great Gift
I was sent a selection box from Coastal Cocoa as a gift from a friend. It arrived nicely packed in the post. I loved the uniquely themed coastal flavors offering a taste of the sea side. Perfect for anyone who loves trying new flavors, these treats are both luxurious and deliciously surprising

 Verified  Oh my goodness wow!
Wow! We took part in the children’s workshop over the Easter holidays. The children learnt so much and had a great time. Their chocolate slab was amazing. It has lasted them a long time. It’s great value for money. James was so patient with them and they thoroughly enjoyed it. We will definitely be back.

 Verified  Classy artisan chocolates that deliver all the way!
When I need a special gift for friends and family in England I think of chocolate. These hand made chocolates tick all the boxes - super user friendly website, artisan chocolate business, delivery possible, classy box and a hand written notecard (a really nice touch). I live in 🇨🇦 so havent got to taste them - but feedback is that they are excellent. Coastal Cocoa will continue to be a "go to" for me!

 Verified  Lovely milkshake!
Visited here today and ‘chatted chocolate’ with the very friendly owner for quite a while. Bought a milkshake that was a cross between a chocolate and caramel type of taste which was very nice! Will certainly visit again!

 Verified  Friendly local and independent chocolatier for all the treats and presents you need.
Delicious and beautiful chocolates handmade by the owner - you can watch him make them in the open kitchen and if you're REALLY interested in the process, they run courses too! You can pick what you want from the lovely truffle display or there are Gift Boxes that make great pressies. My favourite chocolate has to be the Salted Caramel Gold bar :-) For chocolate connoisseurs, there is a choice of house blends for hot chocolate and chilled milkshakes - great if you're out and about shopping and need a warming/refreshing pick-me-up. When I popped in, they had just added a selection of chocolate-themed tote bags, mugs and old advertising signs.

 Verified  Simply Exquisite Chocolates
Unreal chocolates. Probably the best I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a lot) the owner is such a chocolate enthusiast and also very welcoming, he makes you enjoy the chocolates even more. Ten out of ten. No question about it!
