The Beach Terrace Cafe in Fylde

Fish and chips today at the cafe. Great atmosphere, wonderful staff and fabulous location. Surpassed only by the fish and chips. Best fish we have eaten on on the Fylde coast in a long, long time. Silverfish. A local supplier in Blackpool. Amazing quality fish!

This is a great place for access to the beach and easy parking. Lots of outside tables. However, the food we had was awful. A cheese toastie which contained a thick slab of what looked like melted plastic was very oily and tasteless. The bread was barely toasted; possibly microwaved. The children’s chicken skewer was very gristly and the rice was cold.

Awful! So so greasy and disgusting. We had 2 veggie sausage baps with chips. Chips tasted like they had been cooked in Crisp and Dry. Took us all day to try and get the taste out of our mouths. No idea how this place is so busy. Greasy cafe. Will NEVER return.

Popped in on a sunny Monday morning around 10am , quite busy. Just a cuppa and a toasted tea cake with my dogs who got some shade under bench.£5 which I thought was very good value as lots of tea in pot plus hot water to refill. Tea cake was well done as I requested and came ready buttered which I much prefer to those sachets of butter. Left a tip as staff were lovely and they have lots of dog bowls and a tap you can get fresh water from for pets . Recommend

Not what it used to be. Still busy, but the quality on the menu has dipped. Sandwiches with not so much filling, and none now on display. Fish and chips are popular as, it seemed, double egg and chips. Extensive terrace outside with ice creams. Reserved parking for customers in the public car park. Just a few steps away from the beach.

Absolute gem of a find on a beautiful sunny morning. Lovely staff, spotlessly clean. Sat outside and had the standard breakfast with a pot of tea. 5 star!

Went for my 80th birthday lunch. Only found the place by accident but glad we did. The food was excellent. My wife, who is usually a very picky eater, ate every bit of her scampi and said it was the best she had ever tasted. My haddock was excellent. We ended with two of the biggest ice-cream cones I have ever seen. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the place was spotless.

We took a nice day out to Lytham on the first May Bank Holiday and had a pleasant stroll along the front. We stopped here for a bite to eat and a drink before heading off back home. The weather forecast was sunny all day - which it was - and therefore the owners of this establishment should have had enough staff laid on to accommodate it's clientele. Unfortunately that was not the case with two young ladies rushed off their feet trying to serve everyone and a young lad at the ice cream parlour. The queue when we got there was around 20 people long and it took 20 minutes to get served, and after getting served the queue was still 20 people long behind me. The way in which they operate does not give the poor ladies a chance to cope. They take your order which they give to the kitchen but then start to make your drinks. Therefore no one is being served whilst they do this! There should of been an extra member of staff they gave the drinks order to who then did this whilst the ladies carried on serving...this would have been much more efficient. The prices here are very expensive for what it is, after all it's only a cafe and their prices matched that of a pub restaurant. The food was served quite quickly and was piping hot and very good quality. My grilled chicken burger with chips at £10.95 was an average price, but my partner's fish finger butty at £8.25 was expensive given it didn't come with anything else either. The drinks are even more expensive as paying £7.30 for two hot drinks is not good value at all. Overall it was a decent experience with the waiting time and prices not dampening our day. However, the service needs to improve, the prices need reducing on some dishes and drinks and the tables need to be cleared much quicker as the birds can been seen swooping down on the food left by customers who have left. One final point. There are signs not to feed the birds but can I also say that additional signs of owners not being allowed to let their dogs sit on the seating or tables where people have to eat. Unfortunately we witnessed this which is unacceptable mainly by the dog owners rather than the cafe owners. By the way, we are also a dog owner so it's nothing against them!

Popped in for lunch in the Bank Holiday Monday. Understandably it was very busy. Service was a tad slow, but the food was very good. Generous portions and freshly cooked.

On the sand dunes, easy access car park, dog friendly, classic cafe food in the sun. I had tuna salad which was huge side of chips. We ordered cheese burger and chips reasonably priced, very good food. They serve beer too. Plenty of choice. We sat outside with dog really comfortable. All dogs were on leads. No trouble at all. Great place that i have visited many times over the years and it hasn’t changed one bit. Still has the original charm and character . The ice cream was delicious too. Love it. Will be back very soon. 10/10

Not sure what to write very average . It was busy but we did get a table . Ordered a scone and prawn sandwich no mayonnaise so uninspired scone ok . Fairhaven lake cafe 100% better

Went for lunch, husband and sons food was delicious, they were very happy, I, however had jacket potato with cheese, very disappointing, potato was warm and not good quality, cheese was tasteless and had been microwaved. I should have returned it but don’t like making a fuss.

NO DOGS ALLOWED, FANTASTIC. we have a springer but dont take him to pubs cafes restaurants or hotels beacause he probably doesnt enjoy them and we certainly dont want to encroasch our dog onto other people. we think there should be more no dog environments.

Very friendly service and reasonably priced struggled to get a seat but sat with another couple and enjoyed the chat so added to the experience and shows the popularity of the place would recommend for families

Nice cafe in a lovely spot with free parking.Food was very nice and priced well and the staff were lovely and friendly.Lovely atmosphere too.Highly recommended !!!

Courteous, friendly staff and a great breakfast and coffee. This light and airy café has a great beachside vibe and has amazing views across the beach and surrounding areas. Having worked here in 1991 it’s great to keep coming back to this coastal gem. Definitely recommended.

Ordered a veggi breakfast would have been ok but I couldn’t help but think the vegi sausage and hash brown had been fried in old fat. Seemed to have a smell about it which put me off quite a bit

Called here after a walk on the beach. Lady behind counter acted as though she was doing a favour serving me, not really customer friendly. Food lovely but at £8.20 for a cheese and tomato toastie with a little bit of salad I I’ll not be eating there again.

The food and service was the best you're going to get anywhere. But please don't send the tea 15 mins before the meal unless it's a bigger pot

Excellent cafe, friendly service, very tasty food. Easily accessible for wheelchairs. Lovely atmosphere. I would thoroughly recommend to everyone.

Paid a visit to St Anne's the weather was so nice yesterday morning, arrived 8-15 so shops were still closed. Decided to walk to Lytham and passed the Beach Cafe which had just opened, so we stopped for the most delicious vegetarian breakfast and coffee. A lovely cafe with friendly staff, visit anytime.

We are local and have been coming here for years. We won’t be visiting again anytime soon! The queue to order food was a forty minute wait. The staff two staff taking orders had only one till and were busy making coffees etc too. Why they didn’t have a member of staff just making coffee I don’t know. It’s totally disorganised. There were lots of staff all stood around. I would suggest avoiding this place unless you have a lot of spare time to waste!!

Stumbled across this amazing place whilst we were in our camper van. It was that good we had breakfast, a snack and lunch over three days. Food is great and reasonably priced. The best thing which absolutely blew me away was the level of customer service from all the people that work there. I work in operations & just wish I had this level of customer care in my teams. Absolutely brilliant! Great places to sit in and sit outside. Well done team you have an amazing cafe! X. We will be back!

Rip off; tried to over charge us and no apology when rumbled. Would never return and i am a local. terrible way to treat people especially as i used to come when out of season but will never return to this.

we go here at least once a week. sometimes it's too busy but we usually get a seat and enjoy a coffee and maybe a toasted teacake. occasionally a mini breakfast or a sandwich. the staff are friendly and polite. the location can't be faulted. it's clearly explained if you use the cafe you can park for free in the red bays. this is a plus in the season. we have seen staff come and go and the current staff are all polite and helpful. dog owners love to sit outside and enjoy a brew after a bracing beach walk. keep up the good work folks.

Great location by the beach,lovely food, most staff friendly.Basic toilets,need a re think and a loo refurb. Thanks.

My husband and I visited here last week. We sat in the outside area and enjoyed the location of this great little cafe. Reasonble service and good to have a jug of hot water with the pot of tea. only had tea and cakes but there was a good choice of hot food available . Some confusion with parking spaces which might put some people off.

We arrived early for a delicious breakfast and enjoyed the view of the back of the beach while we waited, and while we ate. I like it when cafés give you your pot of tea to start and remember to give you hot water so you can make the most of the pot, and they do that here. The service was friendly and the breakfast arrived quickly as it wasn't busy. Really satisfied with what we chose to eat from the good selection for a veggie and a non-veggie. Definitely would come back, and recommend.

This has the makings of a superb little gem given its location, however the staff are surly and very disorganised.

Amazing food and menu. They forgot to bring us some toast but they were right on the case bringing it straight away. Service was amazing and a wide selection of food. They always ask for food allergies and stuff like that. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

we used to be regulars before covid struck. we've avoided through the season because prefer to go there in the out of season times. excellent location and a perfect stop for us for coffee and a toasted tea cake. meals can be expensive but usually good quality and there are some good additions to the menu. nice to see some familiar faces. staff ALL friendly. we'll be back during the quieter times.

I had to eat outside, as I had my dog with me. Although it was advertised as dog friendly. I had to wait to go in, due to covid. The haddock and chips arrived, but they were the frozen variety, which disappointing. The haddock was gorgeous. The meal was pretty expensive,

This cafe is in a superb position. There are young front of house staff who are friendly & efficient but there are two older blonde women behind the counter who are anything but. The older lady who has been there years can barely look at you let alone smile when she takes your order at the counter. The slightly younger woman is flippant and dismissive. I have been a customer for many years and taken friends & family for refreshments They have all commented on the miserable women being the counter.Let me give an example :At 1010am this morning I went with a friend for breakfast. When we arrived we walked into an empty cafe no other customers. The two said women were behind the counter talking to each other and a couple of younger staff.At first my friend and I wondered if it wasn't open & it was some kind of staff meeting. They ignored us completely as I tried to get their attention. So I called out ' excuse me are you open yet ?' As usual the older lady gave me a filthy look & the slightly younger lady sarcastically answered ' Yes as it says on the door !' I walked back to the door...there was no open sign present but the door was open.......She then passed a comment under her breath which I couldn't hear. My friend said pardon. She didn't answer and both continued to glare.At which point I beckoned one of the young staff on my side of the counter & said to her to inform the blonde ladies that we had come for coffee & breakfast however due to the unacceptable rudeness we would go somewhere else. The food is good quality thanks to the excellent chef. But these women spoil the experience & need to leave & find a job where they don't have contact with the public!!

It's a shame I have to leave a 1 star review. The cafe its self is in a lovely spot. The customers were all friendly.However the lady behind the counter spoilt our whole experience. She was not friendly with me while I was ordering food. Made me feel like we were not good enough to be there. We spent over 30 pounds on couple sandwiches, standard breakfast and few bottles of drinks. The sausage was very cheap and sandwich filling rather tasteless.I'm sure this review will not damage her custom due to where the cafe is, but it would be nice to be made to feel welcome when you are spending money there and not causing any problems.

For a sea side fish & chip stop this place was fantastic. Still following face covering/ one way system guidelines which to me is a positive. Food good , facilities spotlessly clean and staff friendly. Will definitely visit again and have already recommended to a friend

Very nice place! Nice cafe, nice staff, nice food and great location. Excellent seating facilities, both outdoor and inside. The only major thing wrong with it is it's strict social distancing policy and having to queue up as you go in, which we no longer have to do post 'freedom day'. Just made the whole experience unnecessary slower when it needn't be.

We had lunch here, very expensive for what you get. Couldn't complain about the food, but staff behind the counter very dour, though waiting staff were excellent. We also had a 30 minute wait for our food.

Took family for first time since Covid. Their organisation is shambolic and the prices extortionate for what you get. No person taking responsibility for long queue outside. We were able to sit at a table outside no problem but staff not allowed to take orders, we had then join a noncovid distanced queue to be allowed to enter to order, ended up in queue for 45 min whilst no staff took responsibility for allowing people in. The few inside waiting to order were then shouted at move back by staff all stood together non were wearing masks one person then takes drink order only and serves it then you have to wait for a lady who quite rudely takes your food order, 4 staff stood at serving counter. In spite of being shouted at to keep distanced we are then forced to exit through a non distanced large queue waiting to enter. There are at least 2 other places you could exit safely, I asked the girl who demanded we all move even though she was stood in a group of staff why we had to push our way through the queue whilst balancing our drinks for her to answer that they were distanced out side which was ludicrous in the extreme, she was clearly disinterested. The prices were ludicrous over £5 for a childs 3 small bits of chicken 10 chips small tub of beans, tea and coffee were dreadful. My wife went to the toilet where a sign said one person at a time 3 other women pushed in non wearing masks. Absolutely no Covid safety, again cafe not seeming to care. If you want to remain safe and save money on poor food and drink DO NOT go to this cafe. WE will never go again. The authorities should be checking their procedures.

We heard that this was an award-winning café so thought we'd try it - never again. I understand that Covid has made some challenges, but my criticisms are nothing to do with that. £2.95 for a Flat White and £2.60 for a small Latte is more than I've paid anywhere in the UK, especially when the Flat White (supposed to be stronger) was very weak, and the Latte was scalding hot (my wife burnt her tongue). If you want a coffee with a sea view, buy a takeaway and find one of the may benches on the prom.

We made a stop here on a walk as the forecast rain was heavier than expected. A cafe full of other customers may have had the same idea as drinks and snacks seemed to be taking everyone longer to finish than usual (us included).Staff dealt with food and drink requests with courtesy and professionalism and managed to accommodate everybody.Coffee was very good and we were eventually back on the sea front even though our June visit had a November feel to it.

Came here with the family at the end of a long hot day at the beach wanting some ice cream, they had a nice amount of choice for what you can pick and even eco "bowls" which are made out of waffle cone so you can eat them up if you order 2 scoops of anything/mix and match, however, the thing that really lets this place down is the price, just extortionate prices for what your getting, almost 3 pounds for one ice lolly, would not recommend for the price even though the staff were lovely and the place seems nice just seems like such a cash grab.

We have called here before and happily returned today. Alas, very little by way of food available at where they now proclaim “Welcome to one of the UKs Top 20 Beach Cafes”.Really!We ordered a small Latte and Tea for One plus a scone and cake from within the cafe. The food was OK but the Latte just a milky weak coffee with absolutely no froth served in a drink to go paper cup. The tea was similarly weak, again served in a “to go” cup with the tea bag still inside.Not good and we shall not return.Is it under new management?

Dined here today with my family. My mum wanted a prawn sandwich but they weren't doing sandwiches for some reason. Just some pre packed butties on the side. £3.50 for a sarnie made on stale toastie loaf bread with one slice of cheap ham on. Waited 40 minutes for a cheese and ham toastie which arrived and the cheese was not melted, an all you can eat breakfast which was lovely and then fish and chips which tasted like frozen fish, frozen chips and inedible mushy peas.One bonus was.. They have made it very covid safe and its in a lovely location. Coffee is always lovely.

Friendly, well-organised, tasty, reasonable food prices. Covid arrangements clear. Great place to stroll to anlong the front.

I absolutely hate writing a poor review. I understand that the Corona Virus has made eating out very difficult and I am sure they have had issues to deal with. However, we visited yesterday and found the service and the food below par. Un interested staff did not help and if they perform like this they will see their clientele go elsewhere. Come on Beach Terrace, sort your customer service out and improve the quality of the food you serve, £18 for 2 meals and 2 drinks we expect better. The fact that poor reviews are not even addressed suggest you do not care. There are hard times ahead

Would not return again. Staff appeared irritated with being busy, when they should be grateful that they have a business during a pandemic. Definitely needs lessons in customer service and using the word thank you would be a nice touch. Much better under the previous owners.

We visited today and I ordered 2 take away cheese burgers, chips and a coffee. After 20 minutes of waiting, I politely asked a staff member how long our food would be, to be told that cheese burgers take 15 minutes in a rude 'off hand' manner.I wouldn't speak to a dog like I was spoken to. Good customer service? - Absolutely not. Won't be spending my money there again.

Went with family over Christmas for lunch both the ladies serving were extremely rude! Shouldn’t be in hospitality with a bad attitude. Won’t be returning. Food was actually really nice as well. Coffee was appalling though milk was burnt and coffee beans weren’t freshly ground.

My Wife and I went for lunch, Wednesday 28 October.We have been here before but this was our first visit post Covid. Measures taken were generally very good, however there is a problem queueing outside, whilst the Cafe have signed where to queue, which doors are in, which are out etc which is admirable, the only problem that I saw whilst waiting was that customers were totally ignoring this and there were at least 8 people who walked right passed my face to go in where they shouldn’t! I really don’t know what the Cafe can do to combat people’s stupidity, but I found it very unnerving.The tables are, in my opinion exceedingly well spaced out, with what seems like Perspex screens also added between tables, very impressed, well done.The food, generally was very good, the only negative, which I’m afraid is a big negative is serving frozen chips. I do realise that this is a cafe and not a restaurant and my expectations are therefore in line with what to expect from a cafe, however in my opinion no establishment that charges for food should be serving frozen chips. Frozen chips are what you make at home when pressed for time etc, they should absolutely not be served to paying customers. It doesn’t cost a fortune to buy a potato, there are wonderful machines available that will even peel them too.I really hope that you will take my comments on board and consider serving proper chips. The owners obviously seem to care about their establishment and it seems a shame that most other things are of a high standard with attention to detail.Please can you offer proper chips?Thank you.

Visited here many times mainly in winter as it gets very bust in summer. Always good food and friendly staff

Had tea and a cake this morning and it was a great experience. Tables well spaced out and cleaned after every customer. Staff friendly and helpful. Tea and cake excellent - highly recommend it!

I came here with my wife and we had a very tasty lunch that arrived soon after the order was placed. A special canine ice cream is available, which kept our weekend guest dog more than happy. I’ve been coming here for many years, drawn to its superb beachside location and quality food and drinks. COVID-19 measures were much in evidence here with clear signage and a controlled one-way system for placing orders at the counter. The manageress who served me was efficient and courteous, along with the other Beach Café staff I encountered. The Promenade location of the Beach Café affords superb views across the sea and beyond. There’s plenty of seating outside, as well as within its light and airy interior. Highly recommended.

I am just writing say a huge thamk you to the staff at The Breach cafe - left our car in the car park adjacent to the cafe with two of our grandchildren, Finlay and Dylan on a busy Saturday afternoon around a month ago now and we bought ice creams. On returning home to Stockport I found that I had lost a pair of my newly bought prescription Superdry reading glasses and assumed I had dropped them in the car park when I got out of our car -so I assumed never to be seem again and a new pair of expensive glasses had to be duly purchased. However, on returning to Lytham with our other two grandchildren, Jake and Daisy today (Sunday 11th October) we happened on the cafe and to our delight they had found the glasses and kept these safe (I must have left there when we purchased ice creams for the grandchildren), so one Super happy family and smiley faces all round.

Great food, spotlessly clean and we felt very safe. The scrambled egg was perfect and the toast was lovely, not just warmed up bread. To crown a lovely all day breakfast they serve Rooibos tea. 10/10 for that. We will be back.

Visited Monday 5 October after the enforced break - and it was good to be back. Proper social distancing and COVID controls in place, menu had familiar choices, service quick and efficient, staff friendly and helpful. Food up to usual standard. Thank you

Visited for lunch today, second time in a week, even though we live nearly fifty miles away. Lovely food and excellent staff ...very professional and friendly. We felt very COVID safe, tables well separated and perspex screens, masks compulsory unless seated. We cannot imagine why there are any negative reviews about this place and its staff. Everyone was lovely. Highly recommended.

We visited here last week on a sunny afternoon. We queued wearing masks and trying our best to social distance despite customers pushing forward. The young man organising entry was very polite and was asking non mask wearing customers if they had a mask..........this is as per government regulations!The blond lady behind the counter was very polite and efficient. The food was delivered promptly with a smile and was good quality.Our only concern was the rude behaviour of some customers. The staff here are doing a good job in difficult circumstances. We are visiting again today

I arrived shortly after 1-30pm and queues outside the cafe as instructed by the militant youth staff. Twice before entering I was rudely questioned about being in possession of a mask (which I had), and the queue grew bigger with restaurant customers as I waited in vain outside.When I informed the staff of the chaotic queueing system, I was met with bovine looks. After what seemed like an eternity I was allowed to join the queue, and after an unnecessarily long wait I was served watery coffee by a little blond lady. It wasn’t until I reached my seating that I discovered the coffee I bought was in imminent danger (it wasn’t strong enough to defend itself), so I took it back. Upon entering the cafe a militant staff member chirped up “Can I help you Mate?”.....Immediately I told him I wasn’t his “mate” but a customer that was dissatisfied with the poor quality of produce.I asked if it could be done quickly as my wait was unacceptable, and the blond lady behind the counter (that I see other customer reviews mention negatively) commenced to argue the point of my initial long wait. I reminded her I was a customer and invited her to cease debating my wait time and correct her error of the dishwater like coffee she had initially given me. I’m pleased to report that she followed my request.If it is rude staff and weak coffee you are after, this place will not disappoint.

Very organised place re COVID.Details taken at door and not allowed into building without mask. Order and return to table where you stay without your mask. Food and drink brought to you whether you are inside or out.Good selection of food. Very clean premises.Toilets available.

Called for lunch, as it looked busy we thought it would be ok. That’s just what it was OK. Nothing special. We had burgers, they were fairly tasteless and dry, the burger bun was awful, very dry. On the plus side the coffee was very nice.We then went to get some ice cream from the “ice cream window” we asked the young lady for 4x ice creams with flakes in (99)She started putting the ice creams in the little stand for us to help ourselves. At this point they didn’t have any flakes in them, so I reminded the lady serving that we wanted flakes. Her reply was “yes I know, I only have 1 pair of hands” I thought this was rather rude but I didn’t reply. I took my ice creams and I will not be returning to this establishment.

So disappointed to see what has happened to what was once a nice friendly cafe. The only thing it has going for it now is the location. The staff are rude, inefficient and the customer is certainly the last thing on their mind. When I visited last week I witnessed the staff humilating a poor man who was unable to stand in the very slow moving queue any longer and he was sitting on a chair that some kind customer had got for him. The small blonde woman started shouting across the cafe that he had no right to take the chair and she was trying to protect her customers against Covid. I feel that this must be against the Disability Discrimination Act. The tables were not clean by any stretch of the imagination, so they weren't Covid Compliant and the toilets were far from clean. The staff, including the young lad and the two blonde women definitely need a lesson in customer service and a hygeine course. Such a shame, we used to love going here, but doubt we will be back!!!!

Visited the cafe 19 Sept 2020. Saw there was only ONE VEGAN OPTION ON THE MENU. This is terrible. Next time come come to visit I want to see more vegan options.

As a local I have used this cafe many times. During lockdown I had considerable sympathy for the loss of trade. With that in mind I was extremely surprised having arrived 15 minutes before opening to be met by a rude blonde lady (presumably the owner?) who kept re-iterating the 10am opening. I got it the first time!Congratulations you have alienated local customers.

Food OK, but shocked to find we never got served at our table so people milling about going up to order... Or sat there waiting for someone to come to the table only to realise ten minutes later no one is taking orders...not good really... But food was fine.

Awful experience at this cafe with terrible service. I visited with my small child at a busy time. I wasn’t able to get a table first as it was just the two of us and I couldn’t leave her on a table on her own. After ordering the food I was told I needed a number and couldn’t have the food without a number. I was also told everyone else had managed to give a number. There was nothing to tell me this before I queued up. The lady was very rude and I felt like just walking out at that point. The system itself is chaotic and there’s no sign saying masks are needed hence some people were wearing them some not. I definitely won’t be coming here again!

Delicious food! We returned the next day after our first visit. Very impressed with all the sanitising stations and floor map I think they have made a great effort to make the cafe secure. Would recommend for breakfast and lunch

The cafe has covid signs up but it is quite poor. It's not managed at all. People with no masks are everywhere using the wrong entrance/exit. Staff just ignoring it.Also the decaf coffee is tasteless not acceptable for the prices charged. Very disappointed and won't be back.

What a shambles!! Totally disorganised cafe in regards to COVID ruling and the blonde lady was extremely rude and couldn’t cope. She kept giving out contradictory instructions leaving people in the queue totally confused. She created and awful atmosphere, would not recommend!

Good location but very rude staff Will not visit again I assume they make such a good living that they do not care if people re-visit

I thought I'd just been a bit unlucky but I've been to this cafe quite a few times now and the staff are consistently grumpy, difficult and rude. From reading other reviews it appears to be a theme. I wanted to support local cafes like this one but they've lost my business for good.

The setting was lovely, but the older gentleman who worked there was quite rude, I know there are procedures that need to be in place due to covid, but he was just wanting to show his authority and was quite happy to make my elderly mum get up twice, once being to put up an umbrella which we didn’t want! We overheard him telling the young girl who worked there to move us just to put it up! The site said it was open at 10am so we was there a little before..It didn’t open until 10.30

The food was ok, and the table service was good but the 2 blonde women are very rude. But me and my family enjoyed the food and the outside of the cafe.

We went for some ice cream❄️🍦it was great! If your looking for somewhere with ice cream then this is the place to go!

Food is tasty but portions are small making what you actually get a little overpriced. Staff are friendly, service is prompt. Ordering area is a little chaotic as social distancing is hard to follow. But once at the table all is well.

Have to agree with yesterday's review. Went to the cafe today and the food is lovely and the cafe is in a lovely location. The younger staff are pleasant and helpful but the middle aged blonde lady is rude and unhelpful and spoils the whole experience. If you don't like working in a cafe and dealing with the general public - get another job!

Lovely situated cafe. Such a shame that the staff have a bad attitude and are unhelpful. Especially the small blonde lady who spoke to myself and my husband in a very rude manner and commented to other members of staff to ‘hurry up’ Very unprofessional Not very clean outside either and a filthy dirty bowl of stagnant water for the dogs!

A great place to relax with time to think. Nice staff and products served very quickly. Don’t forget to park within the red lines in the car park.

Stumbled accross this Excellent cafe in Lytham the Breakfast was lovely and the Coffee good the staff very friendly would highly recommend this hidden Gem

Down fromScotland for a few days visiting a friend. Paid a visit to this lovely cafe.comfortable seats very important.great menu something for everyone.had the ham egg and chips very generous portion.lovely view over the irish sea but storm ciara was battering down so didnt go out for a walk. only closed one day in year .Xmas.I took megabus down from Perth park and ride. chang at Preston then number 68 bus to St Annes. one evey 15 minutes.Yes worth a visit.

We have been visiting this cafe for a few years now. During the winter we love to come here and enjoy the spectacular view. It is always busy and in the summer it is heaving. Lots of outdoor seating and dogs are welcome. It is not the cheapest cafe but the food and drinks are very good and there are plenty of healthy options and also a vegan and vegetarian menu. Service is good by a lovely team of young staff. Special thanks to Heather who makes the best extra hot skinny latte in the world all with a lovely smile. There is plenty of varied seating inside and it is very clean with a nice atmosphere. The menu is very varied from simple drinks to Sunday lunch. If you want to brighten your day then visit the Beach Cafe.

Having lived in St Annes for a few years now we have recently visited this cafe which is quite hidden away within a short walking distance of the town square.

A lovely seafront cafe, offering excellent food. Car parking by the side and a close walk to St Anne's pier and the town centre.

Good cafe to visit whilst at Fairhaven lake. Reasonably priced. Nice selection of cakes and coffees on display for purchase. Also got an ice cream parlour. Which is great.

Regular visitor to Beach cafe, can't find fault with the food and drinks, prices are higher than other simular establishments, probably because of the council charging extortionate rents / rates due to the location, and the subsidised free car parking the owners provide in the red bays, which I hasten to add many people use and do not frequent the cafe, the lads and lasses waiting on do a very good job, in customer service considering some of the most obnoxious,ignorant and downright arrogant people they have to deal with during the holiday season to which we have been witness to.The 2 blonde lasses who work the front counter, ice cream sales and take orders have the patience of saints, again we have seen first hand customers pig ignorant attitude when placing an order, especially when they can't be bothered to remember the table they are sat at but expect the staff to be mind readers, Sheila and Rachel do a first class job, especially Sheila, who has been front of house for many a year, So next time you think you've been spoken or treated inappropriately look at how you approached them.

Great bacon and sausage sandwiches after a morning walk Toastier at lunch also very good Coffee nice and strong with good service

Not cheap but food is good.Counter staff especially the small blonde woman could do with a course in how to serve people properly and be nice and welcoming instead of whispering about people and shouting sarcastically as I left.Not very helpful and stood on her phone.Wont be going back.!

Nice n clean , not many in , yet the small lady with blonde hair was rushing about behind the counter , no please or thank yous, however food was lovely , not cheap but quality .

Eat here quite often and can honestly say ive never had a bad meal or snack as i can remember. Always spotlessly clean the small lady who seems to be in charge of the counter is always so helpful,cheerful and polite. Just one thing to point out to the owners though i always used to have a bacon butty but since you have changed your rolls from fresh to frozen i dont have one anymore as i cant stand them. Pointless speaking to the grumpy old manager as he just ignores you. Otherwise wonderful job pls keep it up xx

We have called in here a few times. It is in a good position with plenty of parking, we have usually had a long walk so call for a cake & cuppa on way back. The food is good & the waiting on staff very friendly, the counter staff need to learn how to be welcoming & polite. We called last Sat & the lady who served me was definitely not friendly!! So much so that I said to my husband I don’t want to come here again! We will find somewhere else.

Hot chocolate great but the lady who served us was openly rude and dismissive .We won't be in a rush to go back .

Excellent food, lovely friendly staff, beautiful setting can highly recommend, has a ice cream bar so you can just get a cornet or something, varied menu, great views

Can't agree with some of these reviews. We called in for morning coffee and a snack. The place was clean and comfortable, the staff fine, the menu good and reasonably priced. No problem.

Came here for lunch yesterday and, in line with other reviews, found some of the staff to be bordering on rude... we wanted to eat at one of the tables on the lawn but because it didn’t have a table number they wouldn’t allow us to order - give the tables a number then!!! The queue to be given this information was around 30 mins so not impressed - fortunately a table with a number vacated so we were able to eat but to be honest we wished we hadn’t. The chilli burger and chips was not the best, tasted like it had been cooked in very old fat and my partner felt unwell quite soon after eating. Such a shame because it’s a great location and could be excellent - but it isn’t (and not cheap either!). We’d go for a cup of tea and a piece of cake but would never eat here for lunch again.

Popular. Expensive. Great service. Much better than previous. Staff quite stroppy as per usual and a lack of any efficient management. Suggest far better places in St Annes Square

It was always nice to come here with friends for our Sunday breakfast not anymore! Waited 30 mins for poached eggs for my friend to be served first due to a mix up with tables by the staff, when questioned the response was ‘don’t have a go at me it’s not my fault’ wow! Then when the breakfast did arrive the waiter brought out a copy of the order with the incorrect table number and said Iv been told to show you this !! For what benefit to prove a customer wrong of your incompetent staff who couldn’t get the table number. At what point do you think this is customer service & how does it take 30 mins to get the order out after everyone else had finished there.

Called in for a brunch when walking along the seafront with my grandchildren .

It is a simple cafeteria. Firstly, you have to find a table and then you queue at the counter to order your food and drinks. The drinks you take to your table on a tray but if you have ordered meals they are eventually delivered to your table.

Lovely coffee and food ,beautiful views at the beach cafe. Very friendly and helpful staff. Sat outside overlooking the beach and sea👍🏼

Strolling around the seaside at Lytham i came across this cafe. The weather was quite stormy so i sought refuge for tea. I was not disappointed. A very pleasant atmosphere and lovely friendly staff. I shall certainly call by again and have some of the great food they also have on offer.

Had a coffee large and a slushy drink only £4 not a bad price and very polite staff will return in a couple of weeks.
