Came here 10 years ago with family so when back for a return holiday we were delighted to see that it was still open and stopped for lunch with the dogs, great quality food in good portions, the outdoor huts are great for avoiding small showers!

Wonderful customer service with a smile by all members of staff, andthe breakfast was nothing short of delicious. Lively view of the area and sat in a hut which was quirky and a bliss out of the breeze. Deffo recommend!

Last visited regularly for lunch with my mum 4 years ago but found it very expensive now. Prices have gone a lot. Probably won't be returning...shame because the setting and staff are lovely.

Stopped by for fish and chips with my family including two lively boys. They were lovely with the children. The food was wonderful. Battered cod absolutely delicious. Well worth a visit just for the sea view.

The food was rank, although very hungry could not eat, bacon undercooked and cheap, the coffee was horrible, avoid. Nice location should be very successful.

Called in for 2 take away cream teas. I standard and 1 savoury cream tea. A very busy little cafe with good service. Food came out quickly and the scones were warm. It's not often you find a savoury cream tea option anywhere. Big thumbs up

One word AWFUL Tea. Not even fresh. An old pot topped up and swished about. Like hot milk Coffee. Coffee scoops not brushed clean between use leaving a bitter taste of stale coffee. Milk frothed and frothed again therefore not velvety in any way. Fizzy water flat. Only one person serving and making coffee. Not a good thing to say

Food was okay, cheap sausages 🤢 personally I don’t like my tomatoes and beans on the same plate mixed together. just 1 toilet not a fan on unisex toilets . It was about 13.45 / 13.50 and people were sat at tables waiting for food ( wasn’t to busy) and an old couple struggled up the steps to get to the café when they got there the manager said the kitchen was closed and turned them away. Obviously, he has too much money so you can turn people away. Perhaps he should buy some better sausages and be nicer to the customers..

A really great place to have good food. A real varied menu, very friendly staff and a great atmosphere. The cafe is right on the seafront. We went in after walking with our dog. Very dog friendly and OK if your boots aren't polished. Highly recommended.

Visit here now and again. Nice little cafe/coffee shop restaurant with outside area and veranda for diner's when weather permits. Overlooking blue Anchor Bay with the steam railway behind, it is a lovely place to visit, esp in warmer months. They serve everything from sandwiches to kids burgers to fish and chips.

Decided to eat here today after taking our children swimming and it was so lovely to eat somewhere that caters for very young children. We took our 10 and 3 year old and my 3 year old was able to order from the tots menu and actually use cutlery suitable for his age! As a family we always have to pay for a meal that is far too large for our youngest but today was perfect! Also would love to point out that a junior English breakfast was on the menu too which was perfect for our 10 year old. Well done to The Driftwood Cafe.....we will he back!

My wife and i live locally and used this cafe many times. We called in a couple of days ago at 2pm to be told there was no hot food, just cake and drinks. Such a shame, as we have enjoyed the views over lunch on previous visits.

This is such a lovely place and I have been coming here over the years with my family who live locally. It has always been a really positive experience. However, the food this time was frankly uneatable. We ordered the cod fish pie that was literally all mashed potato. We also ordered the beetroot, goats cheese burgers which we had to leave entirely - clearly no one had tested or tasted them on the management team as they would not have been served.

Been here for breakfast.... Not ready to open at 9.00 am... They are still setting up the tables. In one week holiday this was the place where the portion for English breakfast was the smallest 🤔 for me was the smallest I ever had 👎 Parking spaces in a road 👍

Update 23/09/2023 Paid a visit just before 3pm expecting to have a cream tea before my journey home and was told that I couldn't have one as food service was stopped at 2.30pm. They close at 3.30pm So I had just a mug of very strong coffee and a piece of very poor Bakewell Tart for £5.50! Not a pleasant experience, they were cleaning the place up around me for what I can assume was a rapid close up for the day. I think that I'll be reconsidering my choices for a cream tea and food in future visits to Blue Anchor in the future and will probably go to Kitnors or other place for it. As it stands I can no longer recommend the Driftwood Cafe.

I would like to say sorry for taking so long to write this review, i take my mother every Thursday as a day trip out a lady who suffers early stages of dementia. she is made so welcome here the staff as well as well the location are wonderful and i thankyou for that. the lunch time food is good old classic fish & chips and my favorite a bowl of cheesy chips, fairly priced and presented well. the west somerset steam railway station is in walking distance and also a lovely experience, in the summer months there is a lot of outside seating so you can enjoy the sea views with a lovely cup of coffee. this is a must stop over when passing through Blue Anchor

Visited here for first time and such a super find. 1930s superb cafe on the Seafront at Blue Anchor….indoor and outdoor seating with sea views whilst serving great food at very reasonable prices. The cooked breakfasts which we had were served quickly but all freshly cooked with quality ingredients. Cakes looked good too but no room left! Highly recommend.

A Cafe opposite the beach in beautiful West Somerset, I'd found it from a google search as not from the area. Good range of food on the menu, all priced reasonably. We opted for the cod/ chips and ham eggs/ chips - both were delivered swiftly and perfectly nice! I found the service good. Great choice of seating options! We will return when next in the area.

Had been told about this cafe and how good the food & service were a while ago - I was not disappointed! The menu is traditional with added extras which makes you feel adventurous. All food appeared to be homemade or local sourced and couldn't you tell! Portions not excessive but just right. Staff extremely pleasant, hard working & obliging. When I am in the area again, and being a member of the West Somerset Railway Association that is at least twice a year, then snacks, coffee and/or lunch is sorted - has to be at this cafe!!! A thoroughly enjoyed experience!

There's a lovely advert of a milkshake on their board in the front. My wife and I thought, we'd have a milkshake each Well, they were pathetic. In a thin little glass, and the shake was just like water!!! It was the WORST milkshake we have ever had. The advert outside showed how a milkshake should look. Their milkshakes were pathetic. If I worked there, I'd cringe with embarrassment if I sold that to anyone. Maybe even pop to your local McDonald's and check out one of their milkshakes...as you need to go somewhere to learn how to make them. ABSOLUTELY AWFUL MILKSHAKE!!!!
