  “Lovely sandwich and panini options. Friendly staff and quick service considering how busy it was when we ordered. Will definitely come again when we’re next in the area. Dog treat options too”

  “Fabulous place & well worth a visit. The location on the cliff top is Fabulous & I have been here loads of times, never been disappointed. During the summer months and other good weather days there's always something going on there, it's a really nice atmosphere with a very good mixture of all ages, the music entertainment is just the right volume without being annoying, the cafe itself has a nice selection of food & staff always seem polite. There's plenty of seating at the outside area & pizza from the dough box is delicious. Prices at the drink shack at the outside area are reasonable & Keith plays the best tunes in my opinion 😀 Riva is a great place to go....all year round 😃”

  “Great food, awesome beach vibes when visiting. A local guy was banging out the tunes on the DJ decks, not sure if he was doing requests. Pizza for myself, and 2 kids, would have been 5 stars if a GF option was available for my wife. Obviously not a requirement for everyone 🤟”

  “I don't know how they end up with a rating of only 4,1. The service personnel could smile a little more often but other than that everything is great! The coffee and tea are great and so is the awesome variety of baked goods. The view is outstanding. All in all: A clear recommendation!”

  “Waited 20 minutes to be served for a latte, which arrived cold. Tried to order lunch at 11:57 but was refused as it “starts at 12,” even though it was basically midday by the time I reached the till. The response felt unnecessarily rigid and unhelpful. Fish finger sandwich was dry and not enjoyable (chips were okay). Outdoor tables were dirty and in poor condition. We’re local and have been several times, but both food and service have clearly gone downhill. Feels like they rely on tourist trade rather than repeat customers now.”

  “awesome place for breakfast by the beach in Bournemouth! relaxed atmosphere for a bite and soak up the beach atmosphere. Quality of food is decent too! There is plenty of space to sit and the place is pet friendly”

  “Lovely little beach front café. Good coffee and tea, and we really liked their pick-and-mix style breakfast menu. None of this "can I change my tomato for..." nonsense, we just ordered what we wanted and it was all lovely! It was quick service and they were friendly. Everything felt clean. The decor was nice. I'd really recommend!”
