First visit here, but not my last. The food was superb. Dietary requirements for those with allergies catered for too. The coffee was good. Plenty of seating inside and out. If you have a sweet tooth, there's a huge range of cakes and pastries. I haven't, but the bacon was nice and crispy in my roll The customer service was great, friendly and considerate.

Absolutely amazing. Cannot recommend this cafe highly enough, superb. We picked the chicken and bacon club sandwich off the specials menu and it was superb. 13 for a plate of food big enough for 2, and which we happily shared. We were even given an extra plate to make it easier which was very kind. Excellent staff, huge range of cake, lovely and warm inside and good clean toilet. Rate this place, 13/10 would recommend and can't wait to go back.

The photos on the page don’t do it justice, the food is awesome and the staff is very friendly! It is definitely worth the visit! It was busy but that didn’t stop the service and quality of the food being amazing. Very much recommended!

Lovely cafe right by the beach. We stopped for a coffee, cake and ice cream for the dogs. They do have a larger menu with a lot more food that looked really good. The cake was lovely, the coffees were great although my mum had an iced coffee and said it was way too sweet. I think they add Syrup to it so if you don't like sweet coffee I'd ask for it without. It is abit pricey, but it is a large slice of cake. We didn't finish ours so maybe share one slice between 2

Lovely Cafe with equally tasty food! Has everything from light bites to eat to being at the perfect location for lovely weather right alongside the seaside! Staff were always polite, prompt and professional and the internal and external parts of the cafe were immaculate and well cleaned. Really recommend to anyone and bonus they are pet friendly (we sat outside), lovely food with amazing service. Will be going back as a regular customer whenever we go back to the beach for a holiday away from home.

Visited for the first time as part of a chilled holiday around the area. Me and my partner was drawn in by the smell of fresh coffee and the mouth watering display of cakes and pastries. Sadly we was on lent otherwise I would of picked at least 4 of the cakes and tarts! We had the prawn Marie and crab sandwich coupled with cappuccino. It was all delicious! Generous portions of filling, fresh salad and overall very flavoursome. The coffee beans used was by far the best I've tasted between the daily cups I've had between Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft. We decided to have a take away to take back home of the sausage rolls. I have no doubt they be just as delicious. The staff was all friendly and patient with us being indecisive at the till. We could see they take pride at their roles. We left the cafe-bistro thinking if only we knew of this hidden gem on our week holiday as we've been disappointed at other cafes. We would visit again (already saved on my Google maps) and will tell our friends and family of your lovely food and drinks. Keep up the quality! Free limiting parking near by.

Visited this amazing cafe as was out walking the dog along the beach. What a wonderful place. It was very busy but the hot chocolate and the vegan sausage role was lovely (I'm not Vegan but it looked and was delicious) There was a large selection of cakes and the location was perfect. The staff member who served me was lovely, she was clearly very busy with a huge queue which she could see was building but she was so calm and provided a fantastic service. It's not the cheapest place to visit but in my opinion was well worth what we paid. Thank you for providing such a lovely place to visit.
