Most Liked
The coffee at Beach Cafe is consistently praised, described as rich and satisfying, which elevates the whole experience. Many customers rave about the generous portion sizes, especially in the breakfast category, where the English breakfast impresses with its variety and taste. The atmosphere is another highlight; guests appreciate the welcoming vibe and attentiveness of the staff. Families often enjoy the dog-friendly policy that allows pets to join the fun, and the kids' menu offers inclusive choices that please even the pickiest eaters.

Most Disliked
Some diners find the cafe's crowdedness during peak hours a downside, as it can result in longer wait times. A few customers mention that while the prices are fair for the quality, larger groups might find bills adding up quickly. Occasionally, patrons hope for more variety in daily specials to keep things exciting. A select few have noted that the speed of service can fluctuate, especially when the cafe is busy. It’s worth considering that while the outdoor seating is a lovely feature, it may not be ideal for those looking for a more secluded meal.

Great little place. Very friendly and great service. I had the American pancakes with streaky bacon and maple syrup. Normally this isn't too special but this was prepared very well. Ordered a cappuccino and it was surprisingly good too. Fair pricing and great food. I recommend for sure!

This place is a must, if your looking for breakfast! Nice staff, dog friendly, good atmosphere, right next to the sea. The food was amazing, the English breakfast comes with tea or coffee included for only 12 Pounds. And you can NOT complain about the portion sizes here, if your hungry this is the place for you. Absolutely recommended.
