I've had better coffee and the food was average. Still find it hard to believe what you have to pay for basically a snack these days. It is handy though,if you've gone for a walk in the forest, to have a little cafe .

Another visit to Hips Habourside. Consistently some of the best coffee for miles around and very nice banana loaf. Wish the council would add some covered seating as that would really make it an all season venue. On my last visit a strong north easterly wind was blowing making it cold to sit outside.

Nice surprise to find this little cafe at Lydney Harbour. Perfect to enjoy a coffee, cake or toastie or all 3! Great customer service. Staff very friendly. Excellent location for a rest after exploring the area. I had GF cake (would have been nice to have had a toastie, but never mind - its a tough call for Gluten Free particularly when it's a small establishment & I fully understand that). There was the option of Soup which was also GF. Hubby said his bacon & cheese toastie was excellent. Hope you guys keep going and well done.

Lovely little coffee shop and much needed addition to the harbour side. Dairy free and vegan options are available for both drinks and food. Always busy when I've been, staff remain happy and professional despite of this and pretty cramped working conditions. Would be nice if it was slightly bigger with undercover/indoor seating options, but I guess that's down to the council and not Hips. They do, however, have umbrellas for sun and light drizzle protection. Delicious coffee, cakes and ice cream. We had family visiting from South Africa who haven't stopped talking about how nice the cheese toastys are. A must visit if you're at the harbour!

A great, dog friendly venue. Always very warm and cheerie service, and very good and reliable coffees. Food is limited, but seems good. No under cover seating, but when the weather is kind, a great place to visit. Normally plenty of nearby parking. And some great, easy, coastal walks can start, or end, there.

Lovely surprise to find this excellent coffee shop on the harbour. We were on holiday and husband wanted to check out the industrial archaeology. Also a great dog walk along the coast and back by Naas House. Stayed on for bacon sandwiches which were hot and quickly done considering the popularity of this coffee shop. Very friendly staff.

This is such a lovely little cafe, one you might miss if you weren't aware it was there. The staff are so welcoming and friendly and know the regulars well. The food is competitively priced and the ingredients are all fresh and great quality. we choose to take our food away however there is a lovely little area for eating and appeared very family friendly

We enjoyed breakfast here to celebrate a birthday, and were not disappointed. We chose the Light Breakfast, but there are plenty of options to suit everyone. A lot of the ingredients are sourced locally, and all cooked and presented beautifully. With a sweet shop as part of the business, it's possible to leave with an extra treat or two for later. Get yourselves down there!

From the moment we walked through the front door we were made to feel welcome. The dining room is warm and cozy, the decor eclectic. With a choice of two menus, the bar or specials there was plenty of choice. The bar menu giving you the option to reduce your per head spend. We all opted for dishes from the specials menu!! We are a family that loves our food. Every dish was beautifully presented, well proportioned and delicious. I can whole heartedly recommend the goats cheese and pesto beignets to start and if you have a big appetite the ribeye surf and turf. There was a great choice of gluten free or gluten free adaptable options and with no gluten contamination in the fryers we could all share the fries. We only managed one dessert between six of us and were delighted with the lemon sorbet presented inside a frozen lemon. The staff were all knowledgeable and willing to help with menu suggestions, and adjustments to suit dietary requirements. Nothing was too much trouble. If you are not in the area it is worth going out of your way to enjoy dinner.

Staying in the area so thought we would take a look at the craft centre and have a bite to eat. The traditional breakfast was generous and flavoursome, the service warm and friendly. Would highly recommend but would book a table next time....we were lucky and got a table.
