Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the beach location and sea views, with direct access to the sand and seating both indoors and outdoors. The coffee draws steady praise, including a good oat latte, an oat iced latte from the takeaway window and hot chocolate, with cakes, sandwiches and an ice cream selection also mentioned. Friendly staff come up repeatedly, and a few note the small children's play area. The recurring complaint is the lack of vegan food: reviewers report vegetarian choices but nothing vegan, no savoury or sweet options, and one says it was the second visit in two years with the same result. One reviewer was told the syrups and matcha powder couldn't be confirmed, and another objected to a charge on non-dairy milks. Several call the pricing strong, and one found the whipped cream for a puppy-chino overpriced. Others mention noise when busy under the high pitched roof and fewer cake choices later in the day. One reviewer likes being there with a coffee when the sun goes down.

“It's a cute cafe, great location and views, but it's a shame they're not adjusted for all dietary requirements like vegan food. There are vegetarian but no vegan options - food wise and ice cream wise. As for the coffee options, you'll need to be careful as they're unsure about the ingredients of the syrups, matcha powder etc... So I only had the oat latte, which was good but it's just a shame they don't offer more vegan options.”

“Second visit in two years, second time there is no food for vegans. Oat milk available but no savoury or sweet options food-wise which is such a shame as the location is lovely. It's easy to stock a cake that is appealing to both vegans and non-vegans. I could have asked for a plain potato and beans but at nearly £10 it doesn't seem fair. I would have spent far more if the options were available.”

“Fabulous location, warm atmosphere and friendly staff and definitely the go-to if you're walking the beach. I've spent many hours in there spring, summer and winter meeting friends or sat writing. Downside is the noise when its busy because of its high pitched roof and cieling and a bit pricey. Well worth the visit though.”

“I ordered a medium oat iced latte at the takeaway window and was greeted with a warm smile and a genuinely welcoming attitude from the young lady with blonde hair at the till. As a barista myself, I really appreciate when good service feels genuine, and she created such a positive atmosphere that I left with a smile regardless of how the coffee turned out (though it was actually really nice!).”
