Coffee Chameleon Cafe in Isle of Wight

This has to be one of the best establishments for hospitality I’ve ever been in. Today we arrived at lunchtime for a reservation I’d made and the promise of gluten and dairy free pancakes they’d said they’d make especially ( gluten and dairy free) only to be told they were closed —- BUT this is where a bad thing became an amazing thing.Instead of turning us away the owner checked the booking and realised an error had been made and they thought we were going tomorrow.He didn’t turn us away but welcomed us in and offered to rectify the booking error by still serving us. Oh wow did we all laugh and have some fun ( my husband simply stated he was waiting for me to get cross and walk out!). Instead we were treated to excellent service,delicious food ,choice of table,lol and marvellous hospitality. People never cease to amaze me with their actions and these owners deserve nothing but success in their relatively new venture. Perfect for special dietary needs and I should also mention the slice of gluten and dairy free cake I brought back with me,I literally waited for her to finish icing it ;can’t get much fresher than that. Thank you so much for having us,we will be back - on a day you’re actually open for customers.

I would rate our spontaneous visit today 5 out of 5. The greeting was very welcoming and made you feel at home. The service and quality of food was fantastic. I even helped out with the decoration advising where the busy bee 🐝 sticker would go on the wall. 😉👍

We had the most wonderful cream tea yesterday for #nationalcreamteaday 5 stars are not enough for the friendly service, delicious scones & such a variety to choose from! Mr S says it's the best ever! He would know, we've eaten hundreds! Excellent value we will be popping in soon to try the beautiful homemade cakes!

I love Coffee Chameleon. It is run by a wonderful family team, who really understand people. Always smiling and friendly, welcoming, it is great eating here. A small menu but they cater for everyone, breakfast and lunches always served so well. My favourite is the American Breakfast, always served on a hot plate, to my taste. I highly recommend the homemade cakes and biscuits, which are an ever changing menu, week to week. Always buzzing with the best energy. Visit here if you're passing through Sandown, it's a gem. Thank you & see you soon, Chameleon.

Went here this morning with a group of friends. I had a piece of amazing Raspberry and White Chocolate Cheesecake served with cream, it was wonderful. To drink I had a lovely Chocolate Milkshake. Only a small establishment but they coped with a (pre-booked) group of 9 ladies, who each ordered a variety of dishes and drinks.

Really enjoyed my visit to this lovely coffee shop! Very friendly welcome and felt a nice relaxed comfortable atmosphere. Had coffee and tea and a piece of their delicious cake. Nice little menu, with toasties, wraps and breakfasts, and a kids menu too. I would definitely recommend and If you love homemade cake it’s a must!!!! 🤤
