  “Fab cafe on the seafront. Great to be able to sit outside across the road and be close to the beach and water. Food was nice, good menu, quickly served by friendly staff and good value. Definitely recommended, especially on a nice summer afternoon!”

  “It wasn’t very busy when we arrived around 9.30 am but we waited nearly 40 mins for 3 small breakfasts which were not very warm. Lovely location and nice to sit on the beach side of the road but the food was overpriced for the portion size and quality.”

  “Nice restaurant right on the sea front with a good view of the surrounding bay area. The food was good and tasty, while the staff were friendly and helpful. Thank you for a pleasant dinning experience.😁”

  “Decent view from outside (through the parked cars). Overpriced breakfast for the relative lack of quality. Had poached eggs on toast with bacon for about £10.75...the smallest eggs I have ever had, over cooked, on basic toast. Would have expected better eggs and better quality bread, not a standard white loaf. A place that is trying to look like quality food but is cutting corners and not what expect these days. I am normally a 5 star review leaver...this place at 4.5 currently is certainly over rated from my experience today.”

  “Stopped here for sometging to eat after seeing a performance at the Spa Pavillion. The Moule Marinere was very nice, and served with chips. £18 per portion which is as expected these days and in line with comparible places. Orders taken at the counter and food brought to table. Very friendly and efficient service, and the quality of food is good. This place is popular with dog walkers and seafront strollers every day, at all times of the year and is a well known fixture on the Felixstowe sea front.”

  “We visited The Alex bar on several occasions during our stay in Felixstowe once for breakfast, once late afternoon for bar snacks and drinks and a few times late evening for cocktails. Very friendly staff and the most amazing cocktails. I especially loved the cherry daiquiri and my partner loved the pineapple and jalapeño margarita. The Alex bar is very highly recommended.”

  “Popped in for a quick drink and bite to eat. Haven't been in here for many years but still a lovely cafe to visit. Lovely staff, not too busy but busy enough to make a good atmosphere. Had Nachos which were good and had them topped with pulled pork. At least made with real cheese!”

  “Went here yesterday for the 1st time, and I'll definitely be back. The staff were all really friendly and the food was fantastic. You pay a little more than other places but I'd personally say it's well worth it. I like the fact you can add extras onto your meal and the prices are all clear on the menu. They have plenty of specials and also happy hour early evening where a pint is about £4. The cocktails were really good. Great views and a lovely atmosphere. I'd definitely recommend.”

  “Lovely on the beach little restaurant. Decent looking menu , nicely laid out place that looked clean and vibrant. On a lovely day like I had sitting on the little terrace was pleasant and cool in the shade. Really nice to sit , chill and have a small bite to eat. My steak baguette was devine and the caramelized onions was top notch. Chips beautiful cooked and seasoned. My only gripe is for £13 dish that did not include the chips was a.little steep . I would of expected a slightly bigger portion or more garnish to go go with the dish like some coleslaw but it was a absolute awesome baguette. Some lovely cocktails on offer to enjoy as you watch the world go by. Staff was really attentive and polite and overall a really well run place and lovely place to visit when coming to the beach side. Great place , well worth the visit , specially when the weather is good. As someone who has spent many years in the industry , I would ask the owners to consider having full table service in the summer because I think you can really maximise the up selling potential of the place , if you had someone taking orders , pushing the little extras but also letting people fully relax and not have to worry about getting up , can really add to drink sales. But that's just a small observation but the place is busy enough to suggest they do well.”
