Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My friends and I visited the Beach Cafe for lunch. The service was good and the food was great it is reasonably priced our bill came to £88 but that did involve wine and a couple of pimms I would definitely go again. The only down side is there are tables outside on the decking but no umbrellas so on a hot day you have no shade.

Great coffee but a shame about the dreadful music. The music spoilt the visit and it is suspected that it is a ploy to get the customers to sit outside.

The beach cafe is a very popular place to go for coffee or a snack.
Have been coming for over 3 years.
I am sorry to learn Ana is leaving, she will be greatly missed by colleagues and customers.
She is very popular and has always worked very hard.😮💨

The coffee was nice around £3.25 for Cappucino but he price of the 4 percent proof draught lager is a joke £6.50 a pint or £4.50 for half a pint. The bean counters need to do the math and fix proper prices. Its cheap quality lager at inflation busting prices.

We were there and ignored by the skinny and cheeky waitress. We waited for an approach to us despite the fact that she had been watching us for 20 minutes and had no intention of picking up the order. I will add that there were not too many customers. Her impertinence shocked some of the customers next to our table. We will never recommend this place and I advise the owner to find a new waitress

I dont approve of dogs roaming in the seating area as I fell over from a dog walking through the railings from the beach while I was carrying hot drinks and spilt them everywhere.
Its nice coffee but there is no control of the people and the hoarding seats.

Outstanding flat white. Beautifully made. Far too good for a paper cup! Lovely setting, highly recommended

The cafe was busy on the Sunday we were walking past so decided to stop and have a drink. We had two caramel lattes which were reasonably price and really good. Will definitely be back if walking past again. The staff are jolly and friendly.

Stopped here on beach walk for tea coffee and cake. Gentlemen serving could not have been more helpful and jolly. Drinks and cake tasty. Clean toilet on site. A must stop along your beach walk.

We had been out walking along the beach and promenade myself and my wife and stopped in here for a quick coffee each. Nice view from the sun deck on the beach on a very warm sunny afternoon very pleasant indeed. Good coffee reasonable price lovely views. Name of cafeteria I think is West Rocks Beach Club now!

Fantastic coffee again. We have been coming here for several years and always had great coffee. Excellent beach views without having to sit on the pebbles!

We have visited this beachfront cafe and bar a few times for an early evening drink as it’s a lovely location. Sadly on our last two visits the attitude of staff has been really poor and we are unlikely to visit again. On our previous visit we’d arrived about five. I queued up while others were being served but when it got to me, the waiter said they were now closing for a private function. I pointed out that we had come there specially and just wanted a quick drink and there were lots of people who had obviously only just started their drinks (there was no one behind me) but he just shrugged and laughed. I was not happy. We decided when we were down today to give them another chance as maybe it was just an unfortunate one off. I asked for two small bottles of Prosecco. I was told they only had pink. I asked if it was still dry. I was told yes, just the same as the normal but rose. When we tasted it was extremely sweet. We thought about taking it back and asking for our money back but decided we didn’t want to spoil the afternoon. But I decided just to go and tell them at the end so others didn’t have the same experience. Once again the waiter seemed to think this was a huge joke. I said that he had told us that it was dry and he said that he didn’t drink prosecco so he didn’t know and laughed all the more heartily. This is such a shame as we really thought we had found a gem because of the location but don’t think we will want to risk another disappointing visit.

Café latte last Friday, looked pretty, tasted ok but was very lukewarm. Chap was friendly so didn't complain. Saturday went again with my son & asked for the milk to be nice & hot. Woman serving huffed & looked towards the ceiling, she said nothing to the chap making the coffee so another almost cold latte.
So to the chap who works there:
1) Get ride of the moody one.
2) Spend another few seconds warming the milk for the latte.

We visited as a foursome on a Sunday morning and was greeted and seated immediately
The breakfast menus had a good amount of choice and we all chose something different
I had a bagel and eggs and it was pretty much perfect, my daughter had pancakes and bacon and again, perfect, I wish I could make pancakes like that !
My friends two year old had a kids breakfast, like a full English which was really big for a child his age but tasted great, I was lucky enough to finish it for him
We all had a smoothie which was very tasty but lumpy with seeds and pips and my daughter couldn’t drink it, the idea of a smoothie is it being smooth, just be prepared if you have a fussy child
The visit was in February and surprisingly sunny, so the view out to the sea was special.
I really enjoyed the food, the service and the food and it was also well priced
