Came here two mornings in a row, and must say the food is excellent, breakfast was freshly cooked, and well worth the price £6:50 egg 2 bacon 2 sausages beans mushrooms tomatoes 1 toast. You won't find anywhere in yarmouth for that price

This is a fantastic little cafe with sensible prices. A perfectly made mug of tea (in a proper mug) for 90p by the seafront... All the menu prices seam fair and reasonable... Very clean and tidy with friendly staff... A must visit if you're down here...

Stopped by on a lovely warm September afternoon for a coffee and cake with my husband. We had 2 lattes with a generous splash of caramel syrup, my husband, a slice of chocolate fudge cake and myself a homemade scone with Cornish clotted cream and strawberry jam. The scone was incredibly light and crumbly. Staff were very friendly. We sat outside as the weather was so warm. Prices were very reasonable considering its location so close to the beach. Only reason it loses a star is that outside tables to the side of the property (where we sat) overlook a parking area however, we wouldn't hesitate to go back.

15 of us, ranging from OAPs to young children with allergies, descended on the cafe together. The staff coped very well with this influx. The food was simple but good quality, tasty and cooked properly. Service was friendly and prices very reasonable.

Finally found one place for food. Food is quick serves, hot and fresh, unlimited Mayo and Ketchup. We were served by girl name Holy, this is one of the best ever customer service I’ve ever had. Friendly, polite, and helpful. 5 * star to Holy. Place is nice and clean, close to the beach, if kids play at the Bouncy Castle you can still watching them while eating
