  “Had coffee (great taste) and bacon sandwich before our walk around Harbour. Couldn’t fault any of it. Had a little wait as busy, but that’s always a good sign 🙂”

  “Lydney Harbour is such a beautiful and peaceful place (although can get busier on sunny weekend days ), giving options to just amble around the harbour loop (approx 1km) or extending your walk further and ... our walks always includes a Hipz kiosk visit! The drinks and food are delicious, with veggie & vegan options and alternative milks and human amd dog ice cream! There's plenty of seating outside,many of which overlooks the water. Staff are always friendly, in our experience of many, many visits! The toilets are adjacent and clean. Highly recommend.”

  “Visited in early sunny April just as a walking group arrived for loadsa coffees. They handled in very quickly as I wandered about waiting for queue to dwindle and after only 10 mins I got mine with a toasted 3 cheese sarnie and chilli jam. Brilliant food and service. Worth the wait. Gonna be busy at weekends on sunny days. Us antiques should only visit in week days.”

  “Love it here! The staff are ALWAYS the best - friendly, happy and helpful. There is a limited menu because it's a small take away style café at the end of the harbour, but the food is always yummy! Always a vegan option with Hips too, which is fab. The vegan soup and the vegan choc chip cookies are my fave reason to visit ;) (And the coffee... always lovely coffee here)! Then you can walk it off with a wander around the harbour, or up the steps and over the fields or over the harbour and walk up towards the station or on into Lydney. Peaceful walks.”

  “A nice place for a picnic with a bit of history thrown in . A small coffee bar and ice cream van there when I visited . Interesting to look through peep holes in large rocks that point out things in the distance”

  “Excellent little coffee shop next to the river Severn Lydney lock. Friendly staff, small snack menu with gluten free options including my wife's best ever gf carrot cake which they make themselves . Great coffee with outside picnic tables and lovely views.”

  “The pictures below show that there are plenty of benches for punters to sit and "enjoy" their snackages and beverii so I think the proprietors should ask if customers would prefer their food on a plate, with a proper fork, and not the polystyrene monstrosity the carrot cake was served in. Similarly, my latte was served in a paper cup. The coffee had a bitter taste which stayed throughout its consumption. Nice swirly, but a paper cup? The carrot cake was a generous portion. It soon became apparent why this was. If it was 0.01% drier it would've crumbled to dust in its 'tray'. Don't think I've been served a drier cake in recent memory. It wasn't as if it was old, I was given the first slice from a new cake. If you ever go to Lydney harbour do yourself a favour. Take a packed lunch and a flask of coffee with you.”

  “First visit to this place today as I have always fancied visiting Lyndney Harbour but have always ridden / driven past and headed to Chepstow and beyond. The road to the cafe and harbour is full of potholes and in desperate need of renewing. So expect a bumpy ride. Plenty of free parking on the road. Lots to see and do walking, cycling or just admiring the scenery. This cafe seems new but the service was awfully slow today. 30 minutes wait for a toastie and coffee. I appreciate it was a bank holiday weekend but when 1 Of the staff leaves her post to go pat a dog for a few minutes ( luckily she did wash her hands after ) you got to ask what her priorities are? Paying customers or patting a dog?! I Can NOT say the toastie @£4 is value for money, yes it did taste nice but the portion is tiny and the coffee isn't particular special either. Id say bring your own food and drink if visiting he harbour. Toilets on site and a small information hut next door.”
