Old Town Beach Cafe in King's Lynn and West Norfolk

On a recent visit to Old Hunstanton we ate \ drank at 4 other locations. Old Town Beach Cafe is the only place we returned to. Food was tasty, staff friendly and helpful, & good value. It is something special and so appreciated ❤️

Excellent bacon sandwich and service. V dog friendly!

The place was clean and tidy, lots of things to choose from. Didn’t wait too long for food. The full English breakfast was really nice.

It's so much more than a cafe. The decor is fresh and clean. Dogs are welcome with home made dog biscuits available. The menu is able to accommodate all palates from carnivorous to vegans. The service is excellent.

What a fantastic place. The best sausage and bacon rolls and excellent flapjack! Great, friendly service and a wonderful find after a long walk on the beach. Best place for miles

First visit after a cold morning birdwatching on the beach and it's a gem. The all day breakfast was amazing and if I knew where they bought their sausages from I would fill up the freezer. We will definitely return.

Great Gluten Free Menu! I was pleasantly surprised to find such a good selection on a dedicated GF menu. Possibly the best breakfast I’ve had in Hunstanton.

Lovely place and doggy friendly 😍

Excellent beach cafe. Good outside and inside seating. Popular with dog walkers. Good choice of food and drinks.

Great food, good selection, breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea. Friendly staff and just meters to the beach. Oh and dogs are welcomed.

Excellent food, freshly made, in a pleasant environment with helpful staff.

The food is very yummy and in a very pretty place I love beach cafe my favourite ever

This is an ideal place to come to after a long walk along the beach. Even in February when it's freezing outside, it's lovely and warm inside. It must be even better in summer with it's outdoor seating and view of the beach. The breakfasts we've had here have been great and the staff are welcoming.

A very warm welcome, a wide range of food options and especially liked the gluten free and vegan options for my daughter. I had the full English which was delicious.

Lovely place nice staff and a very good selection of Gluten free food

What a lovely gem of a cafe. It was exactly what I needed after a 6 mile beach walk from Hunstanton to Holme and back. The staff were so lovely, friendly and helpful. Lovely cosy atmosphere and I had a lovely breakfast. I will definitely be back, when I'm next on holiday here.

What a great find. Lovely food and lovely staff. I went in the winter so easy to get a seat. I guess it’d be a bit busier in the summer. Close to the beach and do great sandwiches and cakes. Their cheese scones are lovely too.

Whenever I'm in Hunstanton I always visit the cafe, the staff are friendly and the food is always good 😋

Tasty food, nice location. Good service. Lots of choice on the menu, especially veggie/vegan options. Nice coffee

Loved this place, great breakfast and friendly staff! Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

Had several great meals here! Today had a super green soup which packed so much flavour for a healthy option I was impressed. Gf and vegan friendly with dairy and meat options too.

A Sunday late breakfast, sensibly priced and available for all dietary needs, served by a welcoming team. The standard breakfast is really good with a decent sausage -so often skimped on elsewhere, smoked back bacon, egg, hash browns, beans, and local white or brown bread as you want it, fried, plain, or toasted. Check out the cakes, again available for every dietary requirement, coffee and walnut especially good. Well behaved dogs are welcome even on a busy day. Lots of outdoor seating for warmer and dryer days.

Very good cooked breakfast, dog friendly and close to the beach.

Called in twice while spending the day on the beach, walking with my dog. Cafe was very busy on my 1st visit, but staff were friendly and very helpful, even finding me somewhere to sit when I thought I'd have to sit outside as it was so busy inside. My food arrived quickly and was even better than I'd expected. So impressed I made a second visit later in the day for tea and a slice of possibly the best chocolate cake ever! Service was again excellent. Cafe was lovely and warm & cosy on a cold & windy day. Thank you to all of the staff. I'll definitely be back on my next visit. 😊

Had a drink and slice of lemon drizzle cake here. It was a very nice slice of cake! The location is excellent as there aren’t many places in Old Hunstanton to eat a light meal and this is right by the beach with some nice outdoor seating.

Wonderful dog friendly cafe in a beautiful location stopped here a couple of times for a cup of tea on our way back from the beach. Busy cafe serves a range of cooked foods, sandwiches, cakes and drinks of all types. Literally a stones throw to the beach to the point that the outside tables are in the sand.

Lovely little place right next to the beach. Excellent food and friendly service. Would recommend. And will be visiting again soon.

We stayed in old hunstanton last week. Had read about this cafe and were looking forward to visiting. Absolutely loved it! Food great. Vegan breakfast fantastic. Staff friendly. Our young dog loved the dog biscuits! Made our trip. Thank you.

Great food. Good value for money and a lovely view too

Best breakfast we've had for a long time : tasty good quality food .

Wow, what a find! Was looking for somewhere with vegetarian options and stumbled upon this place just outside of 'main' Hunstanton in Old Hunstanton. It was quite busy when we arrived, but grabbed a table and menu to peruse the options. Ordered inside and only had to wait around 15 minutes for both food orders. Food was amazing! Wow. Breakfast was really tasty and my partner had soup which she said was very tasty. Prices were more than reasonable at £22ish for both mains and two drinks. It was clear that a lot of love goes into this place, sourcing local ingredients and creating a fantastic menu. Would love to return in the not too distant future!

Can't recommend this place more. Reasonable prices and a lovely atmosphere.

Lovely food - tikka and a chilli also a decent pot of tea. Lots of walkers and dog owners enjoying the afternoon sun.

A popular dog friendly place. Vegan and Gluten free options and substitutions for those who are both! Prices are reasonable. Was busy but food appeared promptly, staff were friendly and helpful. Send them a picture of your dog for their wall! Will be back.

Perfect dog walking cafe on the most fabulous dog walking beach!

The best gluten free breakfast I've ever eaten. Tasty, quality produce so tasty. The gluten free menu is extensive and I found myself spoilt for choice which is a pleasant change. Really lovely staff, great setting. Will be going back very soon.

Fantastic place!! Great food, great prices!! Kids menu available too!! Cakes were delicious!!

Called here for a cuppa on way home. Very nice little cafe, very dog friendly. Sat outside in large seating area with great views. Didn't dine here as we'd already eaten but they have a good menu choice. Right on the beach so you can go for a paddle afterwards 😊 Update; Today we came back and had food. 10 out of 10 😋

Our first visit in 5 years and what an improvement- now a safe haven for gluten free food, coeliacs are catered for. Separate menu for cafe and also noted options at the ice cream hatch. We visited for coffee and lunch on a busy BH Monday and they managed a faster than expected service, absolutely brilliant, so we could spend more time on sunny beach. Thank you!

Great value, super friendly, big servings and excellent gluten free menu!

Great portion size. Lovely food, good choices. Reasonably priced. Sometimes a little wait for a table.

Great location with great service and a choice of decent cafe food. This is a well oiled machine that runs really well, it’s nice and clean and the wait isn’t too long…. It’s got decent products that are presented well. Been here many times before over the years and will no doubt be back again. Well done on all of your hard work.

Always walk to here from holme next to sea for coffee lovely and relaxing watching the world go by

Great café to go on a Sunday take the dog for a walk and then after I have a coffee or breakfast here, go early, dogs welcome 🤗

Have been going to this beach cafe for around 30 years and it’s gone from strength to strength. The food is reliably good, there are delicious vegan options and also a gluten free menu, but choices for everyone. This week I’ve seen them keep even large peak queues under control and always with a friendly smile. I love the veg curry and the toasties. Fantastic business- highly recommend.

Great little place next to the beach, been here quite a few times.

Waitress seemed a bit fed-up, no smiles or conversation

Great food, friendly efficient service, well worth a visit. Lovely cakes

Great little beach side cafe, has everything you might need including beach furniture that you might have forgotten. This is the only cafe/shop in the area so always expect long queues during holiday season. Staff are friendly and prices are reasonable. Hotel car park is next door (£8/day), gets full on busy days and then there is no other public parking in the immediate area.

Great place with a fantastic menu for all dietary needs, great staff and fast service

I wish I'd have taken photos of this takeaway meal. Words won't do it justice, but I'll try. I had a nice, friendly greeting by the staff and my order was taken efficiently. I ordered four fish finger sandwiches and two portions of chips. The total was quite expensive, but when the boxes arrived, they were a) worth the expense and b) worth the wait. It was a busy, hot Sunday afternoon. The cafe was inundated with customers, I don't think they could have done more to feed us all in a timely manner. I simply sat outside in the sun with my dog and a cappuccino (made very welcome, by the way!) until the order arrived. The sandwiches were made with the finest bread (white, brown and granary were all on offer) and the fish fingers weren't simply Bird's-eye! The bread was buttered, the fish fingers were larger than you'd expect and full of proper fish. There was a small salad, coleslaw and a pot of tartar sauce inside the box, too. The chips were all home made and hot and crispy. The staff had added wooden cutlery to the order which made our beach meal perfect. I would definitely recommend.

Had a really nice brunch here. Very impressed. Dog friendly too.

Enjoyed our annual breakfast before sitting on Old Hunstanton beach all day👍

Always enjoy a good breakfast here.

Good food and coffee just if you're not a dog lover don't go think we counted about 10 but it's your choice

Brilliant little 💎 in the dunes. Great value for freshly prepared food and home made cakes, the coffee and staff are always great. Such a nice spot to sit what ever the weather and they are dog friendly too.

Sat outside and had tea and cakes which were okay but didn't have any gluten free cakes left for one of our group. You have to be careful as birds try to get your food, a House sparrow took some cake! Close to the beach. There seemed to be a lot of dogs.

This place is truly lovely and has an inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The staff here are exceptional, always friendly, attentive, and ready to assist with a smile. The menu offers a diverse selection of delicious dishes, ensuring there is something for everyone to enjoy. Additionally, the prices are very reasonable, providing great value for the quality of food and service you receive. It's a wonderful spot for a meal, whether you're dining alone, with family, or with friends.

Fabulous friendly cafe by the beach. Great food and service. Highly recommend 👌🏻

First visit in all the times we've been to Hunstanton, we'll staffed quick and friendly service very reasonable prices, our dog Reg loved your homemade dog biscuits only downside just one toilet.

Fantastic full English breakfast,staff very friendly,pretty gardenAll in all an excellent start to a lovely day

Super menu, fantastic location, cafe maintains the traditional atmosphere whilst quietly updated. Most remarkable is how good the service, always with a smile, is from morning through closing 😀

Always a delight to visit whilst on holiday

Had cooked breakfast after a good walk along the beach. We'd drunk our tea by the time the breakfast arrived, but it was tasty and well cooked and not too greasy so we had a nice coffee as well to wash it down. We sat outside as had our dogs with us. The cafe is right next to RNLI station so we watched people come and go. No real view of the sea unfortunately as sand dunes and beach huts in both directions plus a big yellow skip. Plenty of fresh water from a tap available for dogs and special home made doggy biscuits you can buy from cafe

Brilliant seaside cafe…exceptional service

Young lady who ran the ice cream bit was outstanding

Lovely cafe by the beach. Staff very friendly. We sat outside, had coffee chips and sausage roll. Very nice. They give you a wooden spoon with a nimber on and bring your order to you. Lots of people in the cafe and outside, there are plenty of tables, or you could have a takeaway and sit on the beach, which is a few yards away.

This place made our holiday! Just on the doorstep of the place we stayed and right on the beach. Food was amazing, cakes incredible. Service & staff lovely.

Just had a late lunch 😋 With my sons. Only one word 'Quality '.

Delicious food, wide range of options including vegan and GF. Polite and patient service despite it being busy.

After a refreshing and wet walk on Hunstanton's beautiful beach, we stumbled upon the Old Town Beach Cafe, and let me tell you, it was a delightful discovery! The cafe itself has a warm and inviting atmosphere, but the real star of the show is the food. The menu offers something for everyone. We had a fantastic mix of options, from burgers to hearty Thai curry. But what truly impressed us was the fantastic selection of gluten-free and vegan options. Often, these dietary restrictions can mean sacrificing flavor, but that's absolutely not the case here. Everything we tasted was bursting with fresh flavors and cooked to perfection. For the gluten-free folks, there were delicious sandwiches on proper bread (a rarity!), and for the vegans, there were creative and satisfying dishes like Thai curry (which, by the way, was incredible!). We all left feeling happy, satisfied, and incredibly well-fed. The Old Town Beach Cafe isn't just about the food, though. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure our experience was top-notch. Whether you're a local or just visiting Hunstanton, this cafe is a must-try. It's the perfect spot to refuel after a day at the beach, and with its inclusive menu and delicious food, it caters to everyone. Highly recommend!

Ideal place for dog walking, dogs ok to go in, food tasty and friendly staff.

Having ordered a jacket potato with cheese and beans and waiting 25 minutes the order was bought out minus the beans..also ordered 4 dog sausages and once we got to the car found them to be completely raw... definitely not baked as a comment on a trip advisor review stated .I do know raw when I see it . Regardless of the cafe being busy standards should not drop. I will not be spending my money in there again .

Delicious food and very friendly staff

Excellent cafe. Great selection for meat eaters and vegans. Home cooked, yummy food at great prices for the portion sizes. Never disappointed

Lovely place by the beach and great service. Very friendly and polite staff. Ordered the sweet potato with scrambled eggs, it was delicious and I highly recommend this place for a quick snack or brunch before or after your coastal walk or day at the beach.

Great place, good food .Go see for your self, You will not be disappointed 😀

The cafe sells all types of food to suit all tastes,it is located just near beach dunes with views out to sea.

Our favourite place. We're by the beach almost every weekend and always stop for a coffee and a bite to eat. The staff are lovely and always friendly and welcoming. Loads of Vege and Vegan food so I'm happy!!!

Breakfast here is just outstanding. It's cooked fresh, and the taste is brilliant. Thank you for bringing real food back to the table.

We chanced upon this little Cafe and tried our luck- we weren't disappointed! The staff were so warm, friendly and helpful. We ordered the sweet potato patties and a tuna sandwich and both were great. We sat outdoors because it was a sunny day - overall, the place has a great vibe.

Excellent-the breakfast was superb ,a 40 minute wait as it was busy ,but it was definitely worth the wait -bubble and squeak was perfect .

This cafe is in a beautiful location just off the beach and opposite the RNLI LifeBoat. We visit sunny hunny about 3 to 4 times a year snd always like to visit this cafe for breakfast. Very dog friendly and a great menu. We will be back 🫖💛🌈🌻

Just a wonderful place! An excellent selection of very reasonably priced food that suited us (vegans) and our companions (omnivores)… not to mention our dog, who simply adored the bone-biscuits we bought too. Considering its location and popularity, the food is incredibly reasonably priced (compared to anywhere in the surrounding area) and very, very tasty; I cannot recommend this place highly enough!

First sunny day of the year, first class lunch, smiling service and a reasonable price. What more could you want?

Great place , near beach. Plenty of choices of food. From breakfasts, jacket potato and daily specials. Cakes and scones aways delicious. Staff friendly. Service good. Seating limited inside, but Plenty outside in garden or front of cafe.. outside toilet. Water available for dogs. Dog friendly inside and out. Also does takeaway coffees and teas. Relaxed astomphere. High chair available for children. Children menu, also vegan menu.

Always made welcome right on beach, havnt got a dog but ideal stop off for your dog walkers. Treats on hand👍for all !

Lovely little beach cafe with good service and food

Very polite staff, fast service even though busy on a bank holiday weekend afternoon, and loads of vegan options and a whole vegan menu to choose from! Very generous portions for the price

If you like a brisk or long walk by the sea and the fresh air is getting to you, then there is nothing better than a cosy little cafe to take a break. The cafe is ideally situated not far from the beach. It caters for all tastes, a quick coffee or the usual quick no fuss menu to leave you refuelled. There are plenty of tables inside if you want to stay out of the wind, and more outside if you prefer. Service is quick enough for food; and drinks are from the bar as well. Depending on your affiliation with dogs, you will, or you will not like the place! as dogs are allowed...and they are everywhere. Disfruta.

Lovely little beach cafe in old Hunstanton, right next to the lifeboat station. The breakfast is great, coffee great and if you get a nice day, sit outside and enjoy the surroundings

Great cafe, you should note the times on here are wrong. It isn't open at 9am on a Wednesday, certainly not in March when I visited. Probably more likely 10 but I'm not sure how to update information on Google!

My fav place to go after a long walk along the beach, welcomes dogs, lovely food. And best of all they have a whole vegan menu!

Very dog friendly including freshly baked treats. Excellent vegan menu full of delicious food. Highly recommend.

1. Great food. 2. Exceptionally dog friendly. 3. Bright, cheerful, and friendly staff. 4. Perfectly situated. 5. Buzzy beach atmosphere. 6. Possibly my favourite place in the world. 7. Lose a star for average coffee, sorry.....

Great place for a cuppa or a meal or both. Dog's paradise with super friendly environment

Me and my partner went for their themed meal nights - Asian themed food this time - and it was spectacular. The food was so tasty, delivered as a fine dining experience, and we was full to the brim! The atmosphere was so cozy with the candles so it was perfect for our Friday date night. We’ve been to the cafe during the day but knowing it can also turn into a fancy restaurant in the evening easily makes it our favourite place in Hunstanton. Can’t wait to go again!

Great cafe but closed until 20th Jan 2024. We called there today and this was the notice

Closed today. Good when it's open.

Our go to every visit to Sunny Hunny
