Play Cafe in Isle of Wight

This place looks nicer from the outside than it is. It's a serviceable pub but nothing special. Would recommend the Crab and Lobster Tab nearby as a nicer venue with a bit more atmosphere

What a fantastic little find this cafe was and so close to the ferry port, we stopped in for something to eat and it was such a lovely place the owners were all smiles and happy to help with anything, my husband was after a panini but they don't do them he went with a wrap instead and he was asked if he would like that toasted which was nice of them to ask, my son had a sausage baguette and was so shocked at all the meat in it (most places don't give you a decent amount) to which he happily tucked into, I had a jacket potato with beans and having a dairy intolerance they offered me the dairy free alternative to the usual butter I also had a tea with oat milk and the husband had a coffee, our youngest son had a cheese sandwich which he didn't eat but that's because he saw chocolate biscuits his favourite biscuits to be fair again no drama as we asked for it to be wrapped so we could take it with us (he ate it in the car while waiting for the ferry), Vic and Dan are amazing and I would definitely recommend this little cafe there prices are fair and you get a decent amount of food as well, if we do return to isle of wight for a holiday again we will definitely be back.

Good size meals, especially breakfasts. Good cuppa, no frills just true value, friendly staff. I would visit again and recommend this café.

Great little spot with nice seating by the beach. We wanted fresh donuts and struggled to find anyone doing them until we were lucky enough to find this place. Great selection of cocktails, slushies, ice creams and milkshakes. Friendly staff, nice vibe here, would recommend for your next visit to Shanklin.

Recommended by a friend who lives on the island and wasn’t disappointed. Good service. Good coffee. Good cake. What’s not to like!
