South Sands Beachside Cafe in Torbay

Nice location, friendly service but awful coffee - tasted like hot milk and water.

Lovely staff and lovely place. Just don’t order the sausage butty. Was hoping for a juicy sausage in a big floury bap… but got a deep fried dry school dinner sausage, in a bap that tasted like an old sofa cushion. Sorry to leave a bad review, but weeks later I’m still haunted by how bad it was. Husband had cheesy chips and they were fine

Great coffee with a fabulous view

What a location and the burgers and pizzas are great

Lovely little cafe with some nice seating to look out at sea. Or if it's hot there's a bit of shelter around the corner from the cafe.

Just had some absolutely stunning pizza here with my family on a balmy Saturday evening in July. Coming here and finishing a lovely day at the seaside with the best pizza in the area is unbeatable. You will not be disappointed if you do the same.

Great place to grab a snack for yourself or your pooch ( they will cook up a sausge just for your dog and chop it into bite size pieces for them ). Really friendly staff and very reasonable prices with a great view of the coast and the steam train.

Great little independent cafe, good prices and fresh food. Kids loved the ice cream. Lovely to sit by the beach there.

Video shows tractors cleaning the beach for the holiday makers.

Lushness - coffee, cheesy chips & cheese and bacon roll on a sunny winter day. Thanks to the aqesome dude serving who was super friendly and helpful.

Shocking cheese chips half the chips was black and hardly no cheese he cheese burger was as bad as smartprice cheap burger wouldn't go again no wonder the pub and other place was packed and this establishment wasn't don't waste your cash

Good burger and chips and friendly lady, bit of a wait though.

Quality breakfast in a really pleasant environment in a great location.

Had coffees and special hot chocolates plus donuts and some of the best salt and pepper squid I’ve ever had , fast and friendly service a great place for a pit stop and refuel

Nice friendly staff, right by the beach...

Just so people know - the number given online (Google result) is not current, and neither are the opening hours. Old owner has tried to change numerous times unsuccessfully.

Lovely little bistro excellent service very clean and welcoming and delicious food.

Friendly service, great bacon bap, coffee just hit the spot after a morning walk and of course the view was outstanding 👌

Worth a visit good service with brilliant views of surrounding area.

Nice to sit down with a hot drink and scampi and chips and watch te world go by.

Friendly little cafe to stop off and have a wine, a tea, some food and a lovely sea view. All at a great price. I'll be back.

A very nice Mocha and ice-cream

Waited for an hour and a half but still hadnt got food. So got a refund. They were 'feeding the whole beach' by all accounts. A few other people where having to get refunds too. No board saying how long the delay would be (which would have helped) just kept taking orders.

Very happy staff that make for very happy customers, great service, great location and great views

Fabulous hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows. Always hope that the cafe is open when we walk our dog at Goodrington

Friendly, well cooked chips, would return.

A handy place to grab a refreshment when your down Goodrington way. I particularly found it useful last summer when we spent the day on the sands soaking up the sun with my little boy. The cafe was very handy for drinks, ice creams, and lunch of which we had cheesy chips! Mind the wind though as it can flip your chips into the sand. Like ours did. Funny now, not then.

Just what we wanted on a cold winter's day. Great bacon baps served up with a smile and a chat.

Great little cafe Staff are super friendly Great selection We walk the length of the beach to come here for the coffee and the ice cream.

Lovely bacon roll. Great service. Sat outside seating and best of all peace and quiet no traffic

Visited with a walking group...Great coffee and service

People were waiting over an hour for burnt sausages and basic frozen chips. We got our money back and went elsewhere

I’d highly recommend going here! The staff are friendly, the food is tasty (including ice cream), there are plenty of tables in the shade or sun to sit down at, and all for a reasonable price.

Luscious ice creams, lovely staff.

Useful little cafe as there is nothing else in the immediate area but be warned its 30p to use the toilets!!

Best Bacon butty and coffee in the area. The staff are extremely friendly, the prices are very good with a view to die for. Thank you.

Nice little place, nice people, nice food.

Stop here for a coffee and sometimes a sausage bap on my daily walk

Food was nice and not badly priced. I would recommend this cafe more than the north end as the older couple running it only took cash and were wearing no ppe at all , not even latex gloves. The chap used his hands by touching peoples chips to level the portions on the poly plates. Then I couldn't believe he used his hands to keep dishing out the cheese for cheesy chips with bear hands. Covid covid covid eera.

Great view, friendly welcome and nice place to stop for a bite and coffee

Didn’t actually go to south sands cafe, just a good photo opportunity, the cafe was closed anyway, unsure of opening hours but now the summer season has gone I expect it will probably be shut for the foreseeable.

Brilliant place. Not overpriced as you would expect from a beach front place. A little gem

Good choice of food, pleasant enough staff...wish they were open in the evenings.

17 years going each morning to decide what the days routine is. Coffee with Dave. Steam trains going by working hard up the hill can't beet it

Nice grub.good prices.friendly staff. What more can i say. Visit and see for yourself.

Always busy because it's a good little cafe

Beautiful chips n gets busy but still good service

Very friendly and very good value.

Excellent little cafe and not too expensive and right next to the railway so you can watch the steam trains go past all day and chill on the beach. Result

Nice bacon bap! Cooked just how I like it with really great views...

Outdoor seating cafe - good food at reasonable prices. Even on a 25deg Easter Sunday it was easy to walk up, order fish and chips and have it freshly made in 10 minutes. Was also easy enough to find a place to sit.

Great cafe by the beach food ice cream and drinks

Nice place to stop for a coffee during the summer season. Basic, clean, food cooked fresh when ordered.

Excellent to position, unfortunately closes for winter

Lots of lovely ice cream flavours to choose from. Lovely food and drinks made fresh to order... delicious cream teas and right on the beach

Great friendly service, we had a variety of food, hot and cold with hot chocolates and cups of tea all round. We didn't have a single thing to complain about, everything was hot that should have been and the baguettes that 2 people had from our group were nice and fresh and crammed with fillings. Lovely location as well. Was only in the area for a weekend getaway but would definitely come back again. 👍

Lovely place for views & a coffee

Brilliant service, delicious food. Well priced. Lovely owner and cook. Well worth a visit

Great friendly service. Good prices

We stopped here for some chips and an ice cream after arriving on holiday. Plenty of seating, clean, tasty food and at a good price.

The best cafe. By a beach with the best staff

Took my niece there yesterday....quite a long queue as other food outlet closed!! The service was excellent...good hot food and very inexpensive....although the queue was long it took between 5 and 10 mins for food to arrive...I say that's great service. It must have been very hot in that kiosk...I do hope the owners appreciate their great staff : )

Best tea and coffee at the beach in Torbay

Great coffee, donuts and service

Lovely ice cream and friendly staff

Nice place to stop for a snack, the steam train came past too.

Good fish and chips, no mushy peas tho. Good service.

Friendly service, good value drinks and snacks.
