Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Diners rave about the great coffee and the impressive dessert selection, especially after a day spent in the sun. Reviews frequently mention the fish finger sandwich as a standout choice, while the bacon in breakfast dishes has its fans too. Many enjoy the casual and friendly atmosphere, with an emphasis on how welcoming the staff is, which enhances every experience. The availability of vegan and vegetarian options makes it inclusive for different dietary needs, and the outdoor seating allows guests to soak up the sun while enjoying their meals. Live music nights add to the vibrant crowd—an excellent way to unwind after a long week.
Most Disliked
Some guests note that parking can sometimes be a hassle, especially during the busy summer months. Additionally, comments about the bacon in breakfast dishes being overly salty have surfaced, although it's usually not enough to deter repeat visits. The narrow road leading to the cafe might present an issue for larger vehicles, which could be a minor inconvenience for some. A few reviews point out that the wait times can be longer during peak hours, especially on beautiful beach days, so early arrivals or reservations might be wise for a smooth experience.

It would be churlish not to give this site full marks because everything works. Food’s great (bacon a little salty, not a major prob), atmosphere wonderful and service impeccable. Road in is a little narrow but that adds to the charm. Overall a great vibe - will visit again.

Gorgeous little spot at West Beach, nestled in the sand dunes and with a great view and lovely food. Recommended by some Swim buddies, sadly low tide today so no dipping but the food was worth the visit! 💗 we had falafel salad, crab salad and salt and pepper squid all of which was delicious.

Great biker friendly café, with views over the beach and port. Staff are friendly and welcoming and the fish finger sandwich is spot on. I visited regularly for bike nights, which are always a good night. Looking forward to my next visit.

This is a great little cafe that sits nicely between the car park and the beach. The staff are super friendly and very dog friendly - you can even buy dog sausages for a pound a time and I can tell you that they proved popular with our pooch.
