The Bay Cafe in Shepway

We needed breakfast, found Bay Cafe close to us in Google and took a chance…and loved it! Very well priced, delicious breakfast and decent coffee 😃

We visited the Bay Cafe on a nice sunny day towards the end of August. All of the staff were friendly and accommodating. The place lives up to its good name in cleanliness, everything looked spotless. I ordered one of their all-day breakfasts and I was impressed. The food was delicious, I could tell it had been made with love and care. The eggs were cooked to perfection - in fact, I have never seen an egg cooked so well and cleanly in my entire life, the sausages succulent and full of flavour, the beans just right (not too mushy and not too undercooked) and the toast was spot on. All followed up with a nice coffee at the end. There is parking outside, and from what I could tell it's not too far from the beach. So if you are looking for a quaint, family run and family-friendly cafe in the area, I would highly recommend the Bay Cafe, certainly one of the best cafes I have ever visited in the UK.

Had seen The BayCafe when passing from the Campsite to Hythe etc, read reviews and thought we’d give it a try. Great little cafe, great breakfast set the family up for the day

Excellent family run cafe that accepts cash!!! They do accept card too though. Very clean, friendly, 5 star hygiene rating and food absolutely delicious! Lots on menu to choose from and extremely good value! Visited this place everyday during our weeks stay and it can sometimes get quite busy...definitely worth waiting for a table though. Thanks for looking after us and we will miss you! Until next year...

Myself and my partner visited here as we couldn't find anywhere else on our walk. We've always walked past and wondered what it was like. Needing the toilet we decided to have some brunch. Worst mistake ever. Although the food was ok and i mean just ok. The service was terrible, took ages for someone to take our order and once he did it seemed to much hard work for him, a grumpy and miserable man to say the least. I went to order the £8.95 full monty but i do not like eggs, so i asked politely could i change my 2 eggs for a hash brown, to my absolute shock he just shrugged cant change items just go without and pay extra for what you want mate. 1. I'm not your mate. 2 I will not pay extra for something when your are saving money by leaving to eggs off my plate. The absolute cheek of the man. So I just built my own breakfast which cost £5. So he lost put on £4 just for not swapping 1 item. Infact he lost more than that as my partner was going to have the same breakfast but opted for the tiny one which was less than a fiver. So all in all he's lost The Bay Cafe £8+ by just being rude and unwelcome. 1st visit most certainly our last. Avoid. A cost of living crisis and they don't want mo ey or repeat custome it seems. Silly silly silly.

We had a breakfast here, it was amazing, truly excellent, cooked fresh, so takes a minute or 2 more but worth it !! Open all year round

Never judge a book by it’s cover! yes the cafe is next to a garage so I was expecting a bit of a greasy spoon, WRONG the cafe was spotless the food was fresh good quality & not a bit of grease in sight. The food we all had was delicious & I would defo recommend giving it a visit. Well done bay cafe staff/owner.

First time we have visited this cafe and won't be the last food was cooked beautifully unlike a lot of cafes no greasy food

Great menu selection. 3 of us had breakfasts, the egg was so clean and still runny yolk. Perfectly cooked. Kids had Mac and cheese with chips and chicken burger cut up into nuggets for the other. Very friendly guy that works there and place was clean. Downside is there isn’t much parking.

Visted here first trip for pie & mash collection. When we arrived home we found the pies had not been cooked, the potatoes were luke warm but the liquor was hot. After cooking and warming everything we found the whole meal tasteless and it all went straight in the bin! The meal was expensive too. Worse pie and mash we gave ever tasty...

I have to say that the Bay Cafe offer the best tasting breakfasts around. Great prices and friendly staff too! Looking forward to trying their lunch menu soon.

This Cafe is run by the loveliest people and the quality of their food is unbeatable. By far the best Cafe around 100%

Took our grandad as a surprise as this was his favourite cafe when he was on holiday a few years back we all a beef roast dinner , proper home made roastys and tender beef , lovely place to eat.

Nice cafe . Best proper pie and mash you will get around. Arments pie and mash and liqueur. A bit pricey for pie and mash but well worth it.

Come here needing a hangover cure, greeted by lovely staff. Drinks come out pretty quick but waited approx 40 mins for breakfast to be served by this point we was 2 drinks in. Food was good but mainly made better with good staff.

best cafe in the marsh superb breakfast always excellent never had a bad breakfast nice friendly staff as well

Stopped here for breakfast on the first day of our holiday, it is a small but very friendly café, with friendly staff. A great choice of food available at very reasonable prices.The staff cater to all your needs and are always ready to help. The cooked breakfast is delicious and so are the chips. Definitely worth a stop, and it is an excellent place for food.

We stopped in on our way back to hampshire because the sign outside said breakfast for £3.50, we had driven past when we went out to eat so we decided to stop there for our last bite to eat and we were not disappointed. We had a lovely meal which i would recomend to any body

Very good service and excellent food. Very clean and staff make you feel so welcome. Will definitely come back again next time we passing through.

Been here several times food is freshly cooked so preper to wait breakfast is good & there omelettes 4 eggs are yummy also offer gluten free options which is great friendly service with great choice of food

had the cottage pie, excellent, best i have had in years. bright, clean and very friendly cafe, looking forward to going again

I came here today with my family and the food was cooked to perfection, plus they were very accommodating to my very fussy daughter and gave her exactly what she wanted, I highly recommend coming here!

Sunday lunch roast dinner was chicken which was good I had the steak and kidney pudding with veg and treacle pud and custard. Lovely food busy at 1pm all good

The food at this cafe is amazing, I would say it is best breakfast by far between New Romney and Hythe. Clean, well presented, quality good at a good price and the staff and owner are so welcoming. Be careful not to drive past as next to a garage so you might miss it. If you do turn round and go back, you will not be disappointed.

Food is very good a wide choice and fast friendly service. The breakfast is excellent value would highly recommend.

My family and I had a great time at the Bay Cafe, friendly helpful staff, fabulous food (not your usual greasy cafe stuff) and great value too. Atmosphere was good too with music. We are definitely going back there, the liver and bacon was delicious!!!
