Sammii Gs in West Dorset

We stopped here. a few times and enjoyed a full size coffee at good prices. The food from the kitchen looked lovely and there are some local sourced food available. Lots of fresh pasties even catering for vegans. we didn't partake in the food but on both occasions we went in we were made to feel welcome and even though it was only a coffee they were happy to see you.

Had 2 "thick" absolutely not! Milkshakes. Absolutely dreadful. Checked with staff that they actually were thick milkshakes and was tild they were. Also found a black hair on my drink, although I didn't mention it. Was so disappointed with the milkshake!!!!

Half an our wait for a crab sandwich that arrived with stale bread, some old limp iceberg lettuce, a wedge of lemon that looked like it been on the floor and the crab was suspect, even the dogs wouldn't eat it, at over £10 I expected better, will not return

We decided on a ham sandwich, a piece of fruit cake, water, and an oat milk latte. The sandwich was packed full if home roasted ham and decent bread. The fruit cake was a huge piece. The oat milk latte was made exactly how I like it. There's also an ice cream parlour on the other side of the cafe, which was busy. Friendly staff

Went for breakfast with my partner and we ordered two full English breakfasts. As we were about to eat our breakfast my partner found a hair on the plate, waved that off, then another two hairs stuck to the bacon. The hairs were dark and my partner is blonde so no way they were her hair fallen into the food. We called over the polite waitress and we advised her and showed her these hairs. The waitress asked us what we wanted, we were both put off our food and asked for a refund. The waitress went to speak to the manager/Owner and she took the bit of toast and bacon the hair was attached to, to show the manager. The waitress came back and advised us (message from owner) that the manager said there were no hairs on the food, even though we had showed the waitress. I asked to see the manager to speak with her and to try and sort this out in a respectful manner. The manager comes over to us "what's wrong" were her first words to us. We explained we found the hairs, and she denied all knowledge of these and asked my partner to show her the hairs on her plate. Well obviously we didn't have them as the waitress had taken the toast/bacon into the back. The manager/Owner asked us to prove it again...we obviously couldn't. We had still paid in full for our food and not had a single bite. I said well can we have the food back to show you. I followed her to the front of the shop and she gave me the toast/bacon back. By this point the hair had obviously fallen off in the bin or where it had been put. We couldn't prove it but did not appreciate being called a liar. The attitude and customer service of this woman was incredibly rude and unprofessional, branding us liars. She mentioned her hair was away from food, it was held back by a head band and that she was the only one in the kitchen and she didn't drop any hairs in the food. I asked for a full refund and she refused, but gave a refund for one of the breakfasts (£12.50), I advised I would give a bad review of the cafe and she said she didn't care and that I 'was 1 in 1000' and didn't ever have a bad review. We were also told she didn't want our custom again. The lovely guy at the till sorted one refunded breakfast and the waitress who was also nice, told us she thought we were lovely girls. I was fumming walking out that cafe. We were in the right and I have never been spoken to like that from a cafe owner or any customer service like that.

A group of children trying to run a food business. Unable to accept card payments as the wifi had gone down and too busy chatting with each other about when the boyfriend was coming in to pick them up.

Just found a gem near the Beach at West Bay. Really clean and very welcoming. Exceptional food just like home made and really good value. Well behaved digs welcome and even given a drink of water. All the staff really kind Will definitely be my go to place when visiting again THANK YOU

Don't bother with a flat white, I asked if it was a double shot but definitely no stronger than a latte and way too much froth.

£3.30 for a bog standard loaf of bread !! are you kidding ! no where to buy food in west bay so though would support local shop - no prices on items so no idea till got to till - and all young staff so not interested. Last year stopped buying their milk and walk further afield as price seemed to go up every week ! not good for locals at all - we would just like to be able to buy some basics at a reasonable price and not be completely ripped off !

Party of four popped in for lunch whilst in West Bay, pasty was really good as were the rolls, panini and wrap ordered by others. Was expensive as there were no additions to the basic dishes, no salad, Crisps or chips. Staff competent and efficient. Beverages good and served hot. Inventive variations on the standard cafe produce found throughout the country.

Delicious gluten-free cake, decaf latte and flat white - drinks made with incredible care, plus very friendly service. Very clean restaurant too. Thank you! We’ll be back!

We wanted a coffee and 2 ice creams, there was a notice up saying they were short staffed, so expected and got a long wait for the coffee, all young staff, and maybe they were fed up with insufficient staff, but a smile goes a very long way

£11.95 for a breakfast in a box. Small portions and poor quality. Bad service, forgot drinks. 20 minute wait to reheat precooked food. Asked for refund, manager/owner would only give refund for 1 of 2 identical orders. In part admitting fault but refusing full refund

We enjoyed a nice 'outdoors' lunch here on a sunny Sunday, following a walk to Burton Freshwater & back. My crab sandwich was delicious, and my partner's 'minted lamb' pasty satisfied her craving for a pasty whilst on holiday. One word of warning though - the pasty produced rather a lot of flatulence later...... To sum up, although it was busy Samii G's did us a decent lunch and we would certainly return when in the area again.

I took my family of 5 for lunch and was expecting it to be expensive but compared to the other vendors in the bay it was really good value. All the food served was fresh and very tasty.

Great food, presentation and service - highly reccomend a visit. We had a pasty, beef samdwich and crab sandwich. Beef done to perfection medium rare and very tasty

We were served by a lovely, friendly young man, chatty and welcoming. We had Delicious Cornish pasty’s and nice cup of tea!

Had a pasty and my partner had a crab sandwich. My pasty was nice. The Cornish bakery (almost next door, was nicer). Crab sandwich was just under £10 and apparently tasted really nice but I can’t help thinking it would’ve been better served with fresh...

Although like all hospitality businesses they were experiencing staff shortages, they really made an effort to please. Can really recommend the tuna melt - exceptional. If you're looking for a cafe look no further.

Some of the best tasting ice cream I've had in a long time. The Cornish pasties were great too. The cakes looked great but we never tried any. Maybe tomorrow !!

Very expensive for very basic sandwiches. And a 30 minute wait too. Seems like their staffing issue has been going on a while. The girl serving was rushed off her feet!

Stopped for a quick bite to eat. Very pleasantly surprised. I had classic nachos which were great and my partner had sausage roll which he enjoyed. Coffee was nice too. Not overpriced like some places.

This place looks unassuming from the outside, but the food and drink they serve is fantastic. The outdoor seating is a great location, and the staff are always helpful and friendly. This time, we had a generous portion of spicy nachos, which were just perfect...

We were in West Bay so decided to grab a sandwich to take with us, it was 10:15am. Had to wait nearly 30 minutes for our order to be ready, not the end of the world as we were looking forward to what we expected...

We called today, Sunday morning, and ordered from wide ranging breakfast menu. Following Covid guidelines we ordered and paid at the counter and the very friendly and efficient young lady who served us asked us to wait outside and she would bring our order out...

Very helpful and considerate service, meals cooked perfectly and good sized portions. Value was good.

Awesome vegan GF pizza with sweet potato fries! Great place to get lunch and sit by the harbour. The staff know their stuff in terms of menu and allergies 😍

I along with 14 colleagues work locally in West Bay and one or the other of us sometimes get our lunch here. The baguettes are ok (nothing very exciting) if you ask for tuna that is literally all you get! And you'll pay £5! The...

The food is superb and the staff friendly. We enjoyed a veggie filo pastry pie and a traditional pasty and couldn't resist the flapjacks!

Popped in to SammiiG's today...for some crab sandwiches. Yes, they're pretty pricey at £9.95 per round, but they're worth every penny. Absolutely delicious, freshly made to order. Excellent! 🦀🦀🦀

Was looking forward to a crab sandwich, ordered and thought I misheard the price. Should have double checked as I paid £19.90 for 2 crab sandwiches on dry, white bread with hardly any crab inside. Absolute ripoff.

Wonderful crab sandwich and spicy chicken and chorizo pasty. Could not have been better. Definitely 10 out of 10.

After spotting fresh crab sandwiches advertised outside, I went in to purchase one and was told it was £9.95 per sandwich. I obviously declined and went to another shop and purchased a fresh crab sandwich for £5.95. How can this be justified? My husband purchased...

Great place for cycle stop great coffee , good value and very friendly service , 3 times now always good coffee and cakes

A wide choice of ice creams at a good price, right next to the beach. Queue looked long but service was quick.

The ice cream was very good and tasty, but the people working at the shop were a little rude and grumpy.

The other reviews mention waiting and you do need to wait but that’s because the food is fresh. Lovely staff and really good food.

The sandwiches are of a good quality and are tasty. However, the service is shocking. We waited around 30 minutes for 2 sandwiches and after asking where our food was I had to push for an answer and didn't even get an apology for the...

The coffee was good. That’s it!, we waited 9 minutes for 2 coffees, 12 other people in the cafe 3 staff. Then the chef popped his head out of the kitchen, wiped his nose on his hand, flicked the tongs around his hand like a...

Had a beautiful presented breakfast all local produce,it was spotless and staff made you feel welcome,well worth a visit

Came on a stormy morning car park right outside and free as it was a December Saturday. Warm welcome, order at till - could do with menus on table - only one available at the till. A little wait even though not busy but worth...

Always choose Sammii G's for a hearty full English! Good food and a full plate at a reasonable price. The food is cooked to order so had around a half hour wait but it was worth it! Staff are friendly and help. Would highly recommend.

waited a while for food to arrive and the bread was gone mildew, I complained and they gave me £2 back for the toast. I only hope none of the other food I had was gone off

Please if you are visiting the beautiful harbour of West Bay, call in to Sammii Gs, we had a lovely crab salad (it was not on the menu) we asked if they would do a crab salad, they obliged no problem. Next day we had...

Called in after a day out and bought 3 Pasties, Traditional/Minced Beef & Veg/Cauliflower, Chick Pea & Onion Bhaji. All were delicious! would definitely recommend. They also had a Vegan option.

Whilst staying in Westbay we visited Sammi g's on our first day. We felt we had to visit everyday for the rest of our stay, we will be sure to visit again when next in the area. Great food, amazing friendly service.

Popped in for a late breakfast. Friendly service and freshly cooked breakfast. Would definitely choose this place again. The bacon was especially tasty. Dogs welcome. Good range of traditional cafe fare plus lots of other interesting options to try.

Lovely food, good choice of light meals and cakes. Very pleasant staff., Food well cooked and presented.

We stopped off here for a lovely iced tea and a Purbeck ice cream, nice little cafe with friendly staff. loads of different "Dorset" teas to choose from.

Rare to find gluten free cones! Absolutely gorgeous ice cream (chocolate orange was amazing!) Nice to be able to have a GF cone and not just a tub...thank you :-)

This place has two parts, an ice cream parlour and a restaurant. I went to both and can honestly say that in terms of the food there was nothing to fault. We went in at about 6pm and had a light snack of Chicken, Chorizo...

We ended up visiting 3 times in our two week holiday. Initially popped for lunch as we didn’t want to spend a fortune in a pub and did not want chips. Our very reasonably priced ploughman’s were delicious, huge chunk of cheese! The kids were...

This shop sells the best ice cream and has the most friendliest staff! It also has a cafe and sells local foodie gifts. Highly recommended!

Having travelled from Poole to visit Abbotsbury, we travelled on to West Bay to make the most of the beautiful weather. Most eating establishments were closed or just closing but Sammis was open. It was 5.30 p.m. and we were warmly welcomed by very attentive...

Whilst on holiday at West Bay we eat here many times because the food is freshly prepared and a varied Choice.The owner is very welcoming but mainly the food is yummy.Wonderful view also whilst eating over the harbour.There are lots of eating places in West...

We stopped here for lunch it was nice to see a variety of different foods on the menu. Great portion size and great choice of ice creams, the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Made a few visits during our recent stay in West Bay and will definitely return on our next visit. We went for drinks, another visit for a snack and a further visit for a meal. The Macaroni cheese is the best we've ever tasted. Very...

On our way home from Cornwall, we diverted to west bay for breakfast...and Sammie Gs is the place ! Just the best breakfast you could wish for.....freshly cooked,served hot, just the best.......

Lovely little Cafe that offers local produce, really friendly staff and a perfect breakfast with black pudding :).

After a disappointing breakfast a few days earlier at a nearby cafe we tried Sammie gs Huge difference! Great breakfast plenty on the plate and a good price Polite and efficient service

Had the full English breakfast here. All cooked to order and local produce. Well worth the money. Tea was good as well (local blend). There is a good selection of locally made jams and biscuits on sale. Service was good and the staff are pleasant...

Stopped in with family for a cooked breakfast. £7.50 each was a little steep, but the plate was full and food tasty (included black pudding too like a proper breakfast!) Coffee was fine, and family enjoyed their £3 fruit smoothies too. I’d return.

Located just along from 'The Newsagents' by the inner harbour area of West Bay. This is a wonderful little place for light snacks and other meals etc. At the other end, still inside this café, there is a long 'ice cream' display freezer. There is...

Third visit and this time I had a sandwich, I have to say for the price I expected better bread, instead it was bit stale and would expect a salad garnish with a few crisps on the plate. £5.50 is a lot for just a...

While staying in West Bay we noticed the wide range of ice cream flavours on offer. The salted caramel ice cream was delicious. They are also a cafe and sell a range of delicious Cherry Tree preserves which I have purchased at food festivals and...

Popped in for breakfast and what a great feed it was, all cooked to perfection, lovely free rang eggs, so went back for tea and had the salted beef @ pickle pretzel, what can I say apart from great food, and very friendly staff thank...

No wonder this place was so busy. The range on offer was surprising for such a small place. The grilled vegetables on flatbread was outstanding, and the sweet potato fries were perfect. We went back later for some excellent ice creams – the Christmas Pudding...

This was the only place open when we arrived at West Bay after a 4 hour trip starting at 04:00 and we were hungry so took the hit, The food was ok and hot but not cheap @ £22 for two breakfasts with tea and...

Have visited here twice now for a full English which was brilliant, I will be back for a third visit soon

piccola caffetteria TIPICA con vasta scelta di the buonissimi del Dorset..lo standard inglese della pulizia purtroppo lo conosciamo e non...

Come here every time we come to West Bay. Range of ice cream is brilliant. It has undergone a make over this year and now offers more seating. Food there is fresh reasonably priced.

Staying in West Bay for a week, we had ice cream from here almost every day. There's a great array of flavours & each tub is filled to bursting with ice cream. My particular favourite was 'chrimbo pud' - so good!

Amazing ice cream in lots of flavours. Lovely service from a female member of staff. Very popular place. They let people taste some of the flavours if you were not sure which flavour you would like to buy. Would definitely recommend.

I had the Christmas Pudding ice cream twice during my recent holiday. It's the best ice cream I've ever tasted. There are so many flavours to choose from, including dairy-free sorbets and a 'one scoop' cone is actually two and a half scoops - well...

How does this place survive? Its location is its only good thing. Looked inviting from the outside, but as soon as we walked in, knew something was wrong. Maybe it was the fact there were 3 young girls behind counter playing on their phones or...

Pizzas were awful, bland and horrible. They could improve it by making there own dough, and own toppings. They were cheap microwaveable pizzas. I think you could make a lot more money by making these pizzas nice. Only upside was the nice ice cream afterwards.

Whilst in West Bay we decided to purchase some gluten free items from this place, (advertised on Trip Advisor as gluten free restaurant). Our 1st day there we enquired for some GF cakes to be told sold out, due in tomorrow. Enquired the next day,...

I visited West Bay on a warm day in June. I often stayed in a caravan here as a child and have returned many times since as an adult. So I thought I would try taking lunch at Sammi G's. This appears to be a...

We came to this café for a Father's Day breakfast. We had to wait an hour for our food, the waitresses did not know what was going on in the kitchen and when the food arrived it was tepid and bland, and the toast was...

This place looks pretty ordinary from outside. The full English Breakfast was fantastic: egg, bacon, beans, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, toast & butter. £7.50. Coffee was extra - but it was good coffee. Enjoy!

Love the change in layout. Great for fresh bread, if early enough. Really handy also ice cream and cream teas

We were tempted to stop here around lunchtime for an ice cream after a long hot morning walking the SWCP from Lyme Regis - a very good call as they do serve a great range of Purbeck ice creams. We were not tempted by the...

Very welcoming. Breakfast superb. All very well cooked using quality sausages etc. First time I have used or been to West Bay. Ample parking with what looks like a new car park being developed.

We popped into Sammii Gs for our first ice cream of the season. Talk about spoilt for flavour choice! After a hard time choosing, I finally opted for honey and fig. I was not disappointed. The young man serving me was very polite and engaging...

As we arrived in West Bay on our way to the car park we saw people walking and enjoying their ice creams, and as we left the car park, we spotted yet more, and we decided we had to find the ice cream shop!! So...

Called in for a drink on a cold, windy, day and had a lovely hot drink served by the friendly staff. Great location overlooking the harbour and dog friendly. Well worth a visit. 5/5.

We called in here in for brunch - it was out of season. The cooked breakfast was okay but nothing special

Visited last Saturday for a coffee and a bite to eat! Had a lovely pulled lamb flatbread and a steaming mug of tea and my other half had a very nice latte. He wasn’t feeling to hungry although he was eyeing up the lovely selection...

We visited Sammii G's for the first time today and purchased 1 latte, 1 cup if tea (teabag floating in hot water) and 2 paninis. After a long wait for food and with our drinks finished, we noticed a sign behind the counter outlining the...

Really disappointed. Didn’t have a very good experience here this afternoon. No toilets. Wouldn’t give our friend’s young girl a drink of tap water for free after spending £60 in there for lunch. Overpriced. Waited an hour for our paninis and were the only customers...

Love coming back here every time we visit West Bay, they serve Perbeck ice cream and it fantastic, so many flavours to choose from, served by happy polite staff. Generous scoops are a plus, just watch out for the seagulls when you get outside, they...

Just got back from Westbay and while there found this great place that sells nice cakes and brilliant ice cream.. We have been there for ice cream nearly everyday for a week.. Don't overlook its worth a visit and not expensive

Wonderful choice of flavours of icecream and huge portions. Nice to be able to sit inside to eat them rather than having to go out into the sun and deal with melting icecream.

Stopped for a coffee and ended up having a Hardy paste that was made of sweet potato, spinach and Dorset blue vinie cheese. Excellent taste and very original. Good friendly service.

We all called here for lunch and I had slow toasted pulled lamb Several other family members had the same and other combinations including sandwich. We had various cakes and ice cream and cappucinos etc .Friendly service-great offers as advertised outside and my wife tells...
