Calling this place a café is misleading, it's so much more. We should have booked but friendly staff found us a table. Great food and service and the place was buzzing! Really recommend!

Really good food. Usually go here for breakfast whilst sitting outside enjoying the view. A nice treat. Great, polite service. Prices have gone up a little, but so has everything! UPDATE: CHEESY CHIPS - the last time I was here they're cheesy chips or "fries" have gone downhill. No more chunky chips with mature cheddar (not melted)...now just some poor excuse for dry fries and some sad looking parmesan cheese 😞😞 RIP good chips

One wet and windy Sunday morning, it was unsurprisingly quiet, which I liked. They were rushed off their feet only the day before, as weather is a large contributory factor in the volume of people. The young lady taking and serving orders was very nice. They had no food on the menu available, only pastries, which I had no issue with. I chose a pain au chocolate and a caramel latte, both of which were good. Seating was on the beach, on the classic wooden table/bench combo, albeit wet from the rain!

I bought ice cream and draught cider here (rattler), very nice! Staff were friendly and helpful and checked an ice cream was gluten-free for me, which was great. There is a £2 cup deposit for the cider which you get back after returning the cup. Beautiful beach and relaxing atmosphere

Stopped for a beer and snack in the afternoon and due to being in walking distance from our hotel, we booked in for the evening. The little plates were really tasty and great value. In the evening the cafe is transformed into more of a bistro and we had a delicious meal of hake and seafood risotto and a huge bowl of Thai style mussels with king prawns and crevettes. We had a nice bottle of white rioja. Very reasonably priced. Very good service thank you!

Not up to usual standard. Have been going here for years and had family visiting this weekend so thought we'd take them to one of our favourites. 4 identical full cornish breakfasts ordered. After a long wait, 2 came without the hash browns and one without hogs pudding. When pointed out, the breakfasts were taken away for the additional items to be added, making them a little cold. As we started eating it was clear that the hogs pudding and mushrooms were undercooked and the toast only toasted on one side. Having guests, we didn't want to talk to a member of staff a second time. The staff were nice, the location is as good as ever but the catering was not what we've come to expect.

Visited today with my partner, we both ordered the chicken breast Caesar salad at £19 each, was very disappointed when it was brought out to us with 5 lettuce leaves, 3 small chunks of chicken, 5 anchovies, a light dusting of parmesan cheese and 4 small spots of mayonnaise and not forgetting the stale croutons (e.g. thin slithers of stale toasted bread), I would definitely not call this a salad, nore would I recommend it to anyone unless your not hungry. but £19 each for next to nothing I could of made a better salad at home. very disappointed used to rate the food here but not since new ownership. Chips purchased separately.

I was excited to go for the view, but my excitement stopped there. The bathrooms were dirty and had no tissues, not a great start. I ordered the “Korean fried chicken” it was one of the worst chicken dishes I’ve ever eaten, so overcooked and dry, and not one reason to claim it’s Korean.. no spice or seasoning. The hummus was not bad, but just okay really. The squid was about the same. Super disappointed as a lot of people really seem to like this place, but not really any reason to go back for me.

Great service. OK food. Nice beach front location. The restaurant is a nice place to sit and spend some time. Staff were excellent. Very friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Had Scallops for starter on a thin slice of overdone Hogs pudding. 3 small scallops, with no flavour. Ok, if a bit underwhelming. Main for 3 people was The Hake on crab risotto. Incredibly bland, watery risotto that appeared not to have been seasoned. Flavourless. Hake was of decent size and cooked well but with such a mild flavour really needed the risotto to shine. Others had steak which was cooked well. To be fair the chips were excellent. I’m only reviewing my food and experience. Hopefully the other dishes were of a higher standard. Again, can’t speak more highly of the staff.

Went for coffee and cakes whilst looking at the views One of the cakes, a Muffin, appeared uncooked in the middle so we asked for a replacement, staff member returned the cake having dissected it into small pieces and said it was just the banana. This was returned again to suggest that it was not pleasant to eat something that had been broken down by staff, they then denied touching it and refused to replace it Very poor customer service

Our breakfast was luke warm at best. When we asked for 2 more pieces of bread we were told: we don't do it. What on earth did we have with our eggs? The manager did ask us if we'd like free coffees but what we actually wanted was a warm breakfast and 2 extra slices of bread!

The only restaurant in town where I felt unwelcomed. We had made a reservation for dinner for two. When we reached the staff took us to a table which was supposed to be reserved for us, but the reserved table only had one chair and it was in a tight corner where the chair barely fit with the table. Now I understand, we booked at the last moment but He didn't have a hit of embarrassment offering such a table to a customer. He could have easily told us that, unfortunately we don't have tables left and we could wait for a self service table outside once it's free, which we eventually did ourselves but he was very weirdly rude and ignorant. Then when we ordered, I gave the table number and the server went and gave our food to another table and we got it cold because of that but still not half bad, I was already annoyed about the service at the beginning, so we just decided to leave. Scallops and Specials menu: Risotto with the catch of the the day, simply amazing would have been better if it was warm.

This has to be one of the best seaside cafes in the uk 🇬🇧 👏 To be honest, calling it a cafe is like calling a diamond a bit of coal 😀. THE FOOD WAS OUTSTANDING on our visits. Yes, visits it was so good that we went back the next day to try something different off the menu. Everything was cooked to perfection 👌 👍 the choice, although not extensive was excellent, and the taste and presentation superb 👌 👍. While not overly expensive, it is on the upper side of cost ie £20 for fish and chips, but they will be some of the best you ever had. Honestly, they are that good. Overall outstanding experience ✨️ 👌 👏

I absoloutley love this restaurant. The staff are the best bit, the ones who are friendly and bubbly anyway. The food was okay, a little overpriced for what it actually is. However...the manager, Rees i think his name is, is the worst, most ignorant, rude, self absorbed individual i ever met. I heard him talking to his staff, he treats them as though they are poo on the bottom of his shoe. He will work for 10 minutes, and think that enough, then he will disappear. To make this place better, start with ridding yourself of such a waste of space.

We had the mussels which were nice but at the price was disappointed not to have had a few french fries which we assumed would have been included also no bowl provided for empty shells we asked a waiter for one which they duly provided and said it was not their policy to provide one even though we had to place them all over the table! We assumed the reason being the tables were too small which they were. Also dogs barking all the time with one sat on a seat doubt if we will return due to no attempt by staff to ask owners to curb their dogs barking or tell one owner to remove dog from seat. There should be a large sign stating dogs should not be on seats as unhygienic and others have to sit afterwards.

When you see CAFE in an eatery name or RESTAURANT you can forgiven thinking CAFE is a quick Fish & Chips Tea, Bread & Butter. Of the two offerings on the beach and not far apart the Gylly Beach Cafe is a very surprisingly little gem, making several visits the Fayre we had was superb from lunch time visits to a reserved table evening visit, OK you may think the plastic white chairs and tables kill the atmoshere, nope the cleanliness is first class and this standard continues to the toilet facilities. Over several visits with differing choices the food standard was more than admirable, the whole business ran like a well oiled machine, little wonder it gets very busy Very cheery polite staff, attention to detail, courteous, attentive but not OTT. Well worthy of a visit and it will not break the bank - You will not be disappointed.

The other day we ordered a breakfast and had to keep asking for things that weren’t put on the plate including tomatoes, toast and mushrooms?! We also had to ask for salt and pepper and also sauces. Today we arrived at the takeaway cafe and we couldn’t even sit on the benches outside and there were 2 drunk men, one half asleep and the other playing music and drinking alcohol. They have been there for over 3 hours! Staff haven’t even told them to leave. Disgraceful.

We didn't have a reservation! Noticed that first! When we arrived there were many seats available inside, but supposedly reserved. That's why we were sent outside. And there we sat with our drinks... Well, our mistake. We knew from the pubs that we also had to order food at the counter and pay straight away, but here it surprised us. It got cool. Food was brought and it was good. Really! The seats inside remained empty. We shivered as we watched what was happening inside. Not only one table remained unoccupied... We were cold... Here's the information for management: Sales for the evening would have been higher if we had been given a table inside. Unsatisfactory!

I didn't actually eat here but we called to book a table on Sunday evening and got a booking however they didn't bother to inform us that many items were sold out. The menu is very limited and the Gluten Free menu options even more limited so I only had a vegetarian option and in the normal meals too only had 1 or 2 options left to choose from so we left and went to another restaurant hence I haven't rated the food. The rating is for the lack of proactively informing us that most of the mains were sold out. Having walked a fair bit to get there and no other restaurants in the vicinity made it very irritating as we were hungry.

I have to say that once it changed hands years ago from the fabulous family restaurant to the pizza joint ive been very snooty about this place and not set foot inside. How wrong was i!!!! The food here is fantastic. Not “just pizza’s” as ive said previously but the best pizza’s in town! The potatoes are great too. Much better than the massed produced stuff from PE. We will be back
