We always ate here but not any more as the food has gone down hill, we still pop in for a coffee and have noticed not many people eat now apart from snacks, we now move on to eat elsewhere, it's such a shame

We liked this cafe. We were there twice. Both times it was very tasty. My son really liked the panini with salad. The coffee is not bad. The apple pie is very tasty. The muffin with egg is also tasty. Very good location They forgot to add sauce to the salad second time. That's why it's 4 stars.

Okay, I wasn't going to leave a review because who loves a Karen? I also do like going here, yet I'm in pain and feel sick and after reading some reviews of mislabelled cakes, I think it's so bad. I ordered something I thought was gluten free, I don't think it was. It's quite shocking, i know its not quite natashas law since it's not prepacked but allergens still are there regardless and if someone's allergic to milk like natasha was, please as business take some consideration and responsibly. Also, different coffees require different textures of milk, which needs to be heated at 65 degrees. I watched the man heat it, not checking the temperature of the milk, no thermometer, they cost nothing🤣 it really does change the taste of coffee, fun fact. It was wayy too hot and bitter, slight hint of medicine taste, weirdly. Cappuccinos are foamy, it made me laugh when I took the lid off to see what looked like tea🤣 keep the nosil just under the surface, so it makes a weird kissy noise and bring it down to expand the milk. Don't think it was great for the price, it was over priced considering what I'm paying for, I expect, disappointment really.

Stopped for a coffee whilst on a Sunday morning dog walk - coffee was on the bitter side and definitely needed sugar - service was lovely though - was considering a cake but no prices on show which is a pet hate of mine so left it. But as I say the girl making the coffee was polite and friendly.

After a walk on the lovely sandy, windy beach, we stopped to enjoy a hot Latte and was not disappointed. The cafe is spacious,clean, and full of delicious cakes on display, together with written menus of all the great selection of food on offer. We didn't have time today to sample the food but intend to another day..the fish and chips served to another customer looked delicious..! Toilets clean plenty of seating inside and out..No Dogs allowed on notice, which sounded unfriendly...maybe Sorry..no Dogs kinder...as plenty of seats outside if you manage to avoid the rain....!

The cafe is good but the little kiosk not so much. Asked for a slush, it tasted decent but they served it in this tall container which looked...wrong, I felt slightly embarrassed to be drinking from it in public. It didn't even look recyclable. What's wrong with just serving slush in a normal, recyclable cup?

The girl at the cafe was so rude. Looking at the reviews from others looks like it is a normal occurrence. If she is not member of family of owner they need to get rid as this will lose them business in future. I just happened to walk straight out. Body language and tone of voice just is unacceptable specially in this nature of business.

Nipped in for some drinks and cakes while on holiday after a beautiful walk along the beach. A disappointing visit. Brown haired girl serving was very rude and spoke so cheeky. I asked what was vegan as some cakes weren’t labelled or labelled VE and V. She replied that some were labelled in error but with a “don't care” attitude! No hurry to change errors either. Gave my order with no words like “there you go or thank you” etc, she just had a lengthy conversation with a male worker. Prices were ridiculous. The only nice thing about the place is outside looking on to the beach! Won’t be recommending here!

My frangipane was delicious, but my partner's flapjack was wet on top for some reason. My frappacino tasted terrible and burned somehow. I asked to change it to a cup of tea and was rudely refused on the grounds that I'd taken it outside, and it would have to be 'chucked' 🤷♀️🤦♂️ Great place. Bad service. Lost my repeat custom, anyway.

Great location and a varied menu. Lovely to be able to sit outside and look across our lovely beach while having lunch. Food - bit difficult to judge this as this is the first time we have eaten here. On reflection, I wish I had ordered the bacon or sausage bap as these looked awesome. Instead I went for a prawn and crayfish baguette with salad and fries and ended up disappointed. There was far too much food on the plate and the prawn/crayfish element was not particularly tasty or easy to eat. I would return but would order something different...

Stumbled across this place whilst going for a walk up the beach. As a vegan and with someone who is gluten free I didn’t think we would be able to get anything substantial but was very impressed with the options available. Really lovely to sit out in the sun but also had a great interior if it got chilly. Thank you!

I've knocked a star off because of the silly prices. For holidaymakers who have probably saved up all year as a treat to eat out ok! But silly prices for the rest of us living on pensions who would occasionally like to have lunch on the sea front but who have to stick with just a coffee which in itself isn't the cheapest in Gorleston! The food always looks really good. It would be nice to try it occasionally 🤣

We always come here as we are local. Will definitely not come here for food again. I ordered a philly steak sandwich. I think the cook needs to google a philly steak sandwich. It was a sandwich filled with salad and lettuce and maybe 1 oz of shredded roast beef. The clue is in the name it should be steak not shredded roast beef. I've been a chef for over 30 years and shame on you for serving this at £14.95 for a salad sandwich. Disappointed

Overlooking the beach. Friendly service. Dogs are only allowed at the till but not allowed in with you to eat which was a minus point for us. It was raining but one row of seating outside is under the roof's overhang/soffit so we could keep dry. Parking on main road about 100m away. There is a ramp to avoid the steps to get down to the cafe. Didn't see an accessible toilet. Toilet inside was very low down.

Rude and disinterested staff. Food that shouldn’t have been served. I should have put more detail the first time, sorry. The person who served me initially was unhelpful, with one word answers that appeared rude to me. I asked for two iced coffees and was told they did not do them. My Wife had avocado on toast with garlic prawns and salad garnish. The salad leaves were going brown, they should not have been sent out. The prawns were tasteless and the avocado had been smashed and mixed with a lot of raw onion, which my Wife could not eat. She complained, taking the food in, the chef said the salad was fresh that morning, and he couldn’t put all the ingredients on the menu. No apology for the lettuce that obviously was not fresh. No apology for the food being returned largely uneaten. As we left, I noticed a large sign saying “iced coffees”, maybe it should be removed?

Heard great things about this place, however, a complete let down. Staff looked miserable, bar one serving. The cheese scone was alright but was given hard butter which would not spread. Gluten free carrot cake was dry and hard, in fact it tasted stale. The hot chocolates were lovely. I would not go back here again, the food we had was a let down and was quite expensive, and the staff didn't make us feel welcome nor comfortable.

Found this place after walking along the front. Upon arrival we sat at a table but found no menus (these were all at the counter) and had no service (again we had to go to the counter and staff saw us sitting and said nothing). When we did order and get our food it was nice although expensive but had to again go back to the counter to ask for salt/pepper/sauce etc none of which was on the tables or offered to us. This place could be improved with a bit more service to customers and even just having a bit of salt and pepper on the table.

Came here last Friday on the recommendation of a friend along with our younger daughter and her partner (both of whom are vegan). Very busy, perhaps because it is their 'Fish Friday' whereby they offer fish and chips and a pot of tea for 2 for £20. It being a beautifully warm spring day we sat at one of the tables outside overlooking the beach. They have an extensive specials board but my husband and I opted for the chilli and cheese on jacket. Portions were very generous, chilli very tasty and it came with a very large side salad. Vegan options were limited however staff were very accommodating and did a large 'breakfast' panini for our sin-in-law accompanied by a portion of hash browns whilst my daughter opted for a toasted vegan sausage sandwich. There was also an amazing selection of cakes (which did include plenty of vegan options) for those just wishing to have coffee and a cake, unfortunately we did not have the room to sample. Staff were very friendly. We will certainly visit again and would not hesitate to recommend.

This place stated it is dog friendly, yet told us we couldn’t have dogs inside. They said it is dog friendly outside which is the biggest joke I have heard considering everywhere outside is dog friendly. They also didn’t tell us UNTIL we ordered our drinks that we would have to sit outside - in the pouring rain and windiest day of the year. Absolute joke. I would not recommend this place if you are looking for somewhere to go with the dogs - as we specifically did. Plus, the cinnamon swirl was as dry as the sand on the beach.

Having been to my local Hertford branch(check reviews and your know what I mean) after a long drive this is just what I needed, staff friendly and polite, breakfast was well presented and cooked to a high standard, and even the toilets clean and presentable. Any chance you could move to the Hertford branch chef ?
