  “Really lovely cafe. Food was excellent, smoothies were even better. I got the glow up smoothie and it was the nicest one I’ve ever had, my daughter declared we were sharing it! I’m vegetarian and gluten free which is sometimes a tricky mix but there were plenty of options, all sounding delicious! Perfect sea views and the staff were so lovely,really went above and beyond. There’s no baby changing in the seafront loos so a member of staff really kindly opened the boot of her car so my daughter could have a change in privacy. Just a great lunch and great experience overall.”

  “Very busy when we visited, simply because this is such a popular café. Food and service were both brilliant, the location is lovely except for the lack of toilets (these are about 5-10 minutes away along the beach). There are some good vegetarian options; my veggie burrito was very tasty.”

  “Fins Beach Café is an absolute gem and fully deserves its Gold Award for Best Café—after visiting, it’s easy to see why. The location is fantastic, with a relaxed beachside atmosphere that’s perfect whether you’re stopping for breakfast, lunch, or just a coffee. The food was outstanding, made with fresh, high-quality ingredients and beautifully presented. Every dish was packed with flavour, and the service was just as impressive. The whole café has a brilliant vibe, making it the kind of place where you happily lose track of time while enjoying the views and great food. Everything we ordered was very well made. If you’re visiting the Isle of Wight, Fins Beach Café is an absolute must-visit.”

  “Lovely location but I think their menu may be abit ambitious for the size of kitchen and how popular it is. We came down as a group of 6 and waited short time for a table but after ordering we waited for an hour then told our ticket was being made but 5 mins later a table which arrived and ordered after us got their hot food first, this obviously upset the members of our party and the server didn't offer much of an apology rather just excuses. We had to leave at that point as parking running out and dogs getting hot. I went to pay for drinks and the lady behind the counter kindly said we did not need to pay for them and offered apologies. The food we saw for other looked lovely but unfortunately did not get to try any and the café would have missed out on a bill for over £100. It's not the first time I've come across a similar issue at these ambitious menus in small cafés and more accurate wait times could help us better chose whether to stop.”

  “Fantastic cafe, must visit! All the food is delicious and excellent quality, the coffees in particular are excellent. Over our visit we had the Truffle Shrooms on Toast at lunchtime, butter on toast and banana bread at lunchtime, and the Full English, Loaded Hash Browns and Eggs Royale at breakfast - all recommended. Wait times can be quite long because it is so popular and often very busy but servers always let you know how long expected wait times are so no surprises if that’s not going to suit you. But it’s definitely worth the wait. We came to Fins 3 times during our 1 week holiday and will definitely be coming back on our next holiday to I.O.W.”

  “Amazing menu and very unique. Staff are friendly. Reasonably priced and great beachside location. Biscoff and pistachio lattes were lovely and tirimisu french toast was insane. Have been before and will continue to return to try other things on the menu that sounded so good.”

  “On a boiling hot bank holiday, every other place on the esplanade had stopped serving food. Bless you, Fin’s for still serving lunch at 3pm, and for having healthy and moorish options! I had a Mexican chicken bowl for takeaway, which was delicious. Chicken was perfectly cooked and I loved the sweet potato with it. It did take 20 min to prepare, which I was kindly warned about before ordering. I took the opportunity to have a little glass of wine while people watching. It wasn’t the most glamorous setting, but it was shaded and comfortable… honestly, what a delight. They have nice looking açai bowls too, hope to get back here again soon!”

  “⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Outstanding Experience! I genuinely cannot recommend this place highly enough. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The service was friendly, professional, and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Every aspect exceeded expectations, and it's easy to see why they consistently receive such fantastic reviews. The quality, attention to detail, and overall experience were second to none. Nothing was too much trouble, and the team clearly takes great pride in delivering excellence. It's rare to find a business that gets every detail right, but this one certainly does. A well-deserved 5 stars across the board for service, quality, value, and overall experience. I will definitely be returning and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a truly amazing experience. Thank you for making it such a memorable visit! – Ben Wright”
