Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the beachside setting, with a sea view toward the Isle of Wight and seating right on the sand's edge. Food gets steady credit as fresh, hot and homemade, with one reviewer stunned by the portion size, and others singling out a salad, the cakes and breakfast. Friendly staff recur throughout. One reviewer found the options limited and the place overpriced, though still rated the service highly.

“Such a lovely cafe! Open from 8:30am, lovely walk along the beach to get to it, friendly staff, got a table straight away. Food came out freshly cooked and hot and I was blown away by the portion size! Really tasty and filled me up for the day. Staff were very friendly! Beautiful spot to watch the sea and take in the view of the Isle of Wight. The atmosphere was so friendly and calm. Highly recommend”
