Quick info
About Salt Café
Salt Café sits by the sea on Cranleigh Road in Fareham, with outside seating out on the pier and views across the water. It works across several formats, running as a cafe, coffee shop, breakfast restaurant and wine bar, with breakfast served through the day. The morning side covers a cooked breakfast, a sausage, egg and bacon roll and a Full English, while Friday adds pizza to the offering. Coffee runs to caramel lattes with coconut and oat among the milk choices, and a service charge is added to the bill automatically. Dogs are welcome, and tide times are worth a glance if a table outside is on the cards.

Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers return for the seafront setting and views, with several singling out the cooked breakfast and the Friday pizza as solid, quickly served meals alongside friendly, efficient service. A smaller group, however, found the full English underwhelming, citing a Portabello mushroom that tasted off, soggy toast, oily plating, and small, pricey portions, with one diner objecting to an automatic service charge. Check tide times before sitting outside.

“Overall not a terrible experience and staff seemed helpful and friendly but we did think that the portion sizes were small and slightly on the expensive side. Applying a service charge automatically then asking if it's ok in front of other employees and customers was very naughty. Although i have no issues leaving a tip, i want to be the one who decides if that is deserved, this isn't America. Sadly don't think we'll return.”

“Love the view and walk around here. Nice little gem tucked away. Visited for the Friday pizza for a change. It was good, not excellent, but sufficient I'd still whole heartedly recommend going here for it's views and ambience. Although maybe check tide times if you're sensitive to "sea air". Staff were all friendly and helpful.”

“We spontaneously came for breakfast this morning and managed to be seated outside on the pier. It was lovely with the sun beaming down over the calm sea. The smiley waitress took our order quickly at our table. We each had a caramel latte with alternate milk; one coconut, one oat. For food, we ordered a cooked breakfast and a sausage, egg and bacon roll. This was all served quickly. Very tasty food and drink in a beautiful place. We will definitely visit again. There are some lovely lunch options we'd like to try :)”
