The Farm Shop & No.8 Cafe in Isle of Wight

We called into the cafe on a wet and windy morning. We only wanted a snack and the lovely staff split a toasted sandwich and gave us both the excellent coleslaw and salad garnish. Carrot cake to follow and lovely cup of coffee.

Very friendly cafe up above the farm shop in Bembridge. Excellent Apple & cinnamon flapjack! Nice pit stop whilst browsing around the village.

What a great find. We were doing the Downs Breezer Open Top Bus Tour and hopped off at Bembridge. The café above the health food shop was a delight. I had sticky gingerbread and my husband had a Halloumi and salad baguette and both were delicious, as was was the coffee. Very friendly staff. Lovely decor. Highly recommend.

Lovely little shop well stocked , good selection of local produce and friendly service. I was disappointed because I paid 4 pounds for a small white tin loaf (not picked myself I asked the lady for her recommendation) and at that price I'd expect it to have been freshly baked that morning and after getting it home and cutting it up it clearly wasn't.

Brilliant gem of a cafe. Well worth a visit to anyone visiting the isle. Popped in for lunch. Tables for around 10 people and we timed it just right. Sandwiches/baguette/panini with four choices of filling and some lovely cakes. Worth a visit wherever you're based when visiting.

Very relaxed and friendly cafe serving delicious homemade food - particularly the soup and frittata. Visited for brunch on 3 consecutive days,

This is a lovely farm shop which I frequent for their good range of products. I also appreciate their rules of only allowing one/two in the shop at any one time. However, what I don't appreciate is the frequent occurance of 'locals' pushing past the queue saying 'I just need to talk to Jane(?) and going straight in. This has now happened twice to me leaving the people in the queue having to wait while the 'local' has her chat with Jane which is not usually about the shop.

We stopped here whilst doing the round the island cycle route. It’s perfect in every way. Fantastic and very tasty home cooked food. Lovely service and it felt very ‘safe’ I would highly recommend.

Stopped for breakfast excellent vegetarian breakfast, very fresh food cooked to perfection. Nice staff highly recommend

The cafe was closed when we visited but the farm shop has really nice produce - fresh looking fruit and vegetables and home made sausage rolls and cakes. You may have to wait a while as only one person is allowed in the shop at a time. Bembridge is a pretty village with a few nice shops and a pleasant beach nearby which was very popular with dog walkers.

Had quiche and salad and partner had the scrambled egg on toast, food was tasty but tiny portions for price. Our table never got cleaned when we first sat down, had to ask for cutlery. Table service would be better as tiny place and when queuing at the till we got ignored along with other people we watched queuing, no one seemed to want to serve they ignored people queuing. Shame as we did like the quirkiness of place.

This could be the best cafe in Bembridge? Certainly if you are a vegetarian or a vegan, you 'll love the choice of food and drinks.

A lovely cafe with a good choice of cake and hot drink... Not much when it comes to hot food In the day time.

We had the sandwich of the day which was delicious - the bread was amazing. Cozy room with relaxed atmosphere. This is a great place for vegetarians and I would highly recommend. The cafe is over the farm shop so make sure you don't miss it!

We visited this little cafe for a morning coffee and enjoyed it so much we went back for lunch which was superb. Would definitely recommend

We were in the area on holiday and had done a walk from nearby ST Helens. Many places were closed as it was Sunday morning but, although the shop was closed, there was a rear entrance to the cafe upstairs. We had a very good coffee and slice of cake each, which was excellent. Many people were having breakfasts, which were being cooked to order and looked very good too.

Stopped to have brunch here with a friend. Such a hidden gem. Great veggie food, and such good value for money! Would definitely recommend eating here

What a great place. Delicious, freshly made vegetarian savouries and fabulous home made cakes, featuring local ingredients and produce from the delightful shop downstairs. We only meant to stop for a cup of tea but ended up seduced by the food we saw and worked our way through delicious carrot fritters, a brie open toasted sandwich and several kinds of cake. It was just lovely to overhear the staff talking to one another about their baking with real passion and enthusiasm.

No 8 cafe offers great vegetarian lunches and cakes (i'm not a veggie but could easily become one after tasting the food here). Well worth a visit and the farm shop downstairs sell all sorts of unusual (and local) produce.

This is a holiday island and there is nothing like being met with an indifferent service. Shame because the products are excellent quality and not unreasonably priced.

Lucky to find the No. 8 cafe as it is tucked away upstairs above the farm shop. It is a real gem. Lovely menu and the food is made using fresh produce from the farm shop. The staff are lovely and so enthusiastic. Can't recommend highly enough.

Had been trying to get here to eat our whole visit to the IOW. Had been communicating with the owner via email to try and reserve a table and finally managed breakfast on our last morning.

Well what a lovely surprise we both had this afternoon when we stumbled across quite by accident this delightful tearoom situated in the heart of Bembridge Village on the Isle of Wight.

Just discovered this secret place. Wow! Fabulous healthy, tasty menu and helpful staff. Home made cakes, loads of IOW products. Vegan and vegetarian too

Popped in for our elevenses, coffee and cake. The Jaspers Buxom blend of coffee was superb and the cakes really good. Lots of choice especially if you are vegetarian. Great cafe and shop.

This is almost a secret - the cafe is upstairs with a great wholefoods grocery and store below. Huge selection of yummy cakes that really do taste as good as they look and a simple

We had a great lunch here when visiting Bembridge . The restaurant is hidden above a produce shop but is great and has great home cooked food with some amazing specials. The kids would have preferred a few more options but overall it was a winner and great service made for a fun lunch

Purely by chance we came across this excellent small eatery.

Whilst looking for a breakfast stop on a recent visit to the Isle of Wight, we chanced upon the No 6 cafe & thought we'd give it a go. It sits above a farm shop in the centre of Bembridge. We had a delightful breakfast of poached eggs smashed avocado, toast, vine tomatoes & mushrooms.

Delicious lunch, cake and coffee. Very appealing menu and friendly staff. Local produce sourced from the island. Will be back. Thank you!

Was a lovely café upstairs with the farm shop below. The food was freshly cooked and there were plenty of homemade cakes which looked delicious. The breakfast was amazing and they catered for vegetarians too.

Friendly and charming staff. Slightly chaotic as it was the first opening after a small refit. All three of us had avocado and poached eggs - very good. Excellent coffee.

A cafe and a wonderful vegetable shop. food is excellent all freshly made and excellent staff. Shop has everything you could ask for.

Awesome food. So helpful with restrictions to diet due to lung cancer. Best place ever and can’t wait to go back. Very reasonable prices too well done

If you're passing through Bembridge on Sunday, don't be put off by the closed Farm Shop: the cafe upstairs will be open until 1pm. My friends and I found our way to the back entrance, climbed the steep staircase, and had a thoroughly enjoyable plate of eggs on toast with coffee: just right to give us the energy to continue our journey round the island on two wheels. The roast vegetables also look good, and the cafe caters to a variety of dietary needs. Thoroughly recommended.

A nice shop. Good quality and worth a visit. Friendly staff too. Paper bags and serve yourself, weighed at the till.

We were drawn into the downstairs shop by the lovely bread outside! So we decided to give the upstairs cafe a go. We had an all day breakfast and it was absolutely lovely. We arent vegetarian but we were stuck for choice as sooooo many nice things on the board. Everything was home made from what we could see. Lovely staff, hope to be back in the future. Highly recommend.

We have just enjoyed the most delicious lunch - prepared with love you could taste in the food Thank you

We plan on taking some vegetarian friends to the Number 8 cafe in a couple of weeks time as we have heard good things about it for veggies and vegan types....we hadn’t been before so thought we better check it out.

Lovely imaginative veggie dishes, and cakes served in the cafe, which is hidden away above the veg shop.

Wow - we found a vegan/vegetarian cafe Nr Ryde!

Great place for a locally roasted coffee, lovely home baked cakes , great for veggies and vegans .the cafe is above a farm shop and uses a lot of local and seasonal produce to make the daily specials , dog friendly too,

Great coffee, lovely choice of excellent quality local vegetables. Brought my veg there every day, the asparagus was divine.

What a find! I absolutely loved this little cafe. Ate breakfast and dinner here and completely fell in love with it. Staff could not be more helpful and kind. Well worth a visit. Best place I ate on the island.

We only experienced the shop but it was brilliant. Service is lovely. The produce is great. Fresh and mainly from the Isle of Wight. We went here always for our veg, sauces and some gifts.

We have only been here on Friday and Saturday early evenings for drinks and nibbles.

Don't miss this place! The freshest local produce to buy, take home and cook or visit upstairs and have it cooked for you! A veggie paradise with the warmest welcome.

Sorry to be a party pooper, but we arrived just after a party of four who had ordered breakfast and waited about half hour to receive our coffee. Coffee was fine, but seemed to take a very long time. The lady taking the orders and cooking / serving the food was most apologetic for the food delays, which was not a problem, until when it arrived it seemed not to warrant the amount of time it took, if that makes sense! Expensive too, so probably will not be back. Only went here because we could not get a seat in the Bembridge Bakery opposite. Sorry, wanted to be impressed!

Family friendly cafe. Free babychino with mummy's coffee! Heaven to be somewhere relaxing and cosy. Delicious cake and breakfast......I've tried both! Plus the dog can come too!

I had a really tasty pea soup here, full of flavor, with some fresh bread and a perfectly drizzled salad on the side. The vegan almond and marmalade cake was exquisite and there are other vegan cakes too! I washed it all down with some leaf tea.

WOW . This cafe is a gem. It is very hard to find somewhere to eat if you are a vegetarian that serves food besides mushroom risotto and all the other standard boring vege options. This Cafe has cracked it . Not only does it serve quality organic vege/vegan friendly dishes you can also buy in the shop below quality fresh veg , cakes, breads and a whole range of organic tinned, packaged and fresh sundries. The staff are lovely friendly and passionate about what they cook and are happy to talk to you about the dishes they serve up and cook themselves. It is a small cafe and that adds to its uniqueness. A lovely all day breakfast cooked fresh and with love. Their Homidy Pie was delicious , a mouth watering lunch. A lovely addition to our village.

I have visited the café several times now for afternoon teas and lunches and on every occasion the staff have been friendly, the food has been good and the service has been timely considering the establishment is small and the food is freshly prepared. A delightful little gem in Bembridge and so nice to have somewhere different to take vegetarian friends when they come to the island.

Travelled here today after reading on Facebook that they stock gluten and dairy free cakes. THAT should read cake -- just one which was an uninspiring apple cake.
