We absolutely cannot rate this little gem of a cafe highly enough it should have a star rating for the food produced.We have been to more expensive venues on the Island and been extremely disappointed.The home made quiche melted in yout mouth, eveything was fresh, cooked perfectly and we will definately returning and reccomending to our friends .Compliments to the chefs cooks and staff, what a great cafe .

We came across this little gem today! Amazingly placed with fantastic views. We had Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese Sandwich, Prawn and Marie Rose Sauce Sandwich and Mussels which were fantastic. The service was phenomenal! Well done to the amazing staff of this outstanding establishment. 👏 🙌 👌 😍

Stopped here for breakfast after checking reviews and were not one bit disappointed. Every thing was excellent. And this place can do an egg perfectly, where many cafes can’t even manage a runny egg yoke. Congratulations. Highly recommend and would return. Thank you

Came here for a sneaky elevensies with the mandem. The guy serving us was probably the owner I would've thought. You could just tell. He was a man with a PURPOSE...like he probably knew exactly what he was doing and where he would be in 5 years time. A lot of the reviews i read have misunderstood him...he's not angry or rude, he's just focused. I respect it. Drinks were great and the toast we got given was brown and seeded, I presumed it would've been white but I guess that was my fault for assuming har har har 😂. Overall pretty great vibes and a gorgeous view of the beach from where we were sat

Just a quick review on The Beach Cafe service. We were looking for a place to sit outside and have a quick drink. We turned up as TBC was closing, they were just cleaning up while a couple of tables inside were finishing their meal, we asked if the tables on the front were available, the gentleman on the door, apologised they were about to close, but if we only wanted drinks, he would serve us, which he kindly did, he told us to sit at the outside tables and they would bring the drinks across. Thank you, so much, I know at the end of a tiring day serving everyone wants to get home, you all went above, with your service.

We have reviewed this place before and after visiting again this week are happy to report that it is just as good. Arriving for an early lunch, we were given a nice table inside the open windows overlooking the prom and pier. We ordered food and it all came reasonably quickly. The sandwiches are BIG, making use of nice thick soft bread and come with salad and crisps. Each one was great, especially the Wife’s “one third of her holy trinity” crab sandwich. One point I would perhaps make is that the choice of kids sandwiches is limited; peanut butter, jam or marmite. Our Grandson is a cheese fan but disliking the other three. We asked if he could get cheese instead but we’re told that he would have to have a full adults sandwich, which is obviously more expensive. To make a point though, he ate the lot !.

Delightful little cafe. We're used to Great Yarmouth for our seaside holidays, where seafront cafes throw any slop on a plate and call it a day. This place is the complete opposite. Delicious food, friendly staff, and a care of presentation and delivery well above a typical cafe experience. Gorgeous seafront views. Had the ploughman's and other half got the salmon. Tasted fresh, good portion sizes. Definitely a place we'll visit again.

First time visited, made to feel very welcome, had the soup and a desert, cream of vegetable and rhubarb crumble and 2 mugs of tea. My food was of an excellent quality. The cafe was spotlessly clean, waiter was very pleasant, other people in cafe having lunch which I noticed was very well presented and the return of empty plates showed the good quality. Would highly recommend a visit if only for a hot drink and a toasted tea cake. Lovely sea view as a bonus.

We went to this little quirky cafe by off chance while we were looking for a place to eat at Sandown, we had a place in mind but was closed... Which turned up a good blessing as we would never have searched further and found this little Gem of a place... I was expecting a good average enough cafe food, however I was pleasantly surprised, as this cafe offered seriously delicious food and generous portions too... The staff were very friendly and a bonus it was also a dog friendly place. Had a great atmosphere, nice perfect location to see the beach and pier, nice tasty made coffees then some great unexpected dishes on the menu. I personally had the sizzling fajita, and enjoyed every second of it. The 2 others with me one had the chilli beef nachos and other had the salmon baguette and they seem to enjoy it very much too. I personally recommend this place from my experience and if I come back to Sandown again, definitely will be visiting again for another meal.

Dog friendly. Kind and attentive staff. The special crab burger and the American (reg menu) came quickly, and they were devoured just as swiftly. Excellent options within meals to allow you to customise your meal (choice of potato with your main or extra salad). Everything tasted homemade. The chips were outstanding: chunky, perfectly crispy outside and fluffy melting middle. Meal for two with drinks came to less than £30. We'll be back.

3 of us went here for breakfast, 1 had not decided so said take the other orders and come back in 5minutes, 30 minutes later someone finally came back, by this time the others had recieved their orders and already nearly finished, appauling service. When someone is not ready you return in 5-10mins not half an hour! I would understand a little more if you were rushed off your feet, but you were not.

Lovely cafe with views over the beach to the pier with a beach vibe. We had a friendly welcome, and were given a choice of tables. We chose the window table for the view. Good choice of food, we opted for fish and chips. I could have done without the salad, don't think it goes, but that's just me. All the food coming out looked good. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Nice clean loo too, combined ladies, gents and disabled with all you need. Nice hot water and an efficient hand drier. Unlike some public looks in Sandown. So all on all a good experience.

Myself & my 13yr old son opted for the ciabatta’s & a potion of chips to share, reality …. You don’t need those chips because the ciabatta with the salad & homemade slaw was more than enough. So reasonably priced I truly cannot fault them, so if I’m Sandown I highly recommend 5*.

I have been visiting the Beach Cafe with my Mum who is in the early stages of dementia. She loves to eat out and so we have been eating here at LEAST once a week for the past 6-7 weeks. She lives in Spain but loves english cooking. Not only are the staff really welcoming and friendly but have been so very patient with Mum who can be a little demanding. Denise pretty much knew what our order would be each time! How lovely is she btw!! Adam is like a whirlwind but is happy to have a quick chat without making us feel like he's too busy so hurry up. Bev I feel like I have known her for ages, she is just fab. Oh the food.... This has to be my fave place to eat in the local area. The menu is not too big but there really is something for every taste. The specials board is worth a look each time and today I had the hunters chicken, it was soo good. The portions are huge but try and find room for the home made puddings, delicious!! So if anyone is looking for a tasty meal with the best staff front of house and in the kitchen then visit, you will not be disappointed. Dog friendly too.
