Fantastic spot to eat dinner outside. Best service we have had in a very long time. Food is excellent and portions are very good. Did everything right from start to finish.

Lovely views of sailing boats across the water. There is a good homemade lunch menu. And Sunday roasts. Choice of sandwiches and cakes.Gluten free available . Nice atmosphere friendly staff.

Popped in for a quick coffee whilst on the island.Really lovely traditional cafe, with superb coffee at a sensible price, unlike the big franchises that I hate!As we entered a family left saying “best cup of tea on the island”, apparently it was twinings Our coffee mugs were generous in size, strong coffee too. Service was excellent and the view over the harbour delightful.All in all, ten out of ten

Good view, good seafood, great service, good-looking boys. All makes for a perfect blend for a vacation in Isle of Wight. A must-visit place to eat. The price is right for all the luscious foods. Handsome boys serving is a big plus for me. Although I hope they will improve the Hot chocolate as it Tastes rather bland and small serving for its price. Everything else is exceptional. Food, drinks, location, view, staff. 5 stars.

Stopped here and loved it. Staff friendly and welcoming. We had two cappuccinos which were nice. We didn't have food but did look really nice.You can sit inside or outside on the beach which we did really lovely to look over the harbour and see views while relaxing.. Situated just in Bembridge. Recommend and will go again next time over there

Our "go to" cafe when holidaying in IOW. Coffee & cake before a stroll on the beach. Food looked lovely & decent portions.Perfect location.

We only stopped for a very quick bite and a espresso but wish we could stay longer. The atmosphere was great.There was dogs, kids, bikers, outside seating, friendly service. Not the most luxurious place at all. But , certainly the place that can tell a thousand stories. Just the way I like a cosy place.
