The Wonky Goat in Isle of Wight

Family lunch for five. Brilliant food & drinks. Value for money, good service, would definitely recommend. Will be back

We found the wonky goat by total chance and felt like we hit jackpot! Delicious sandwich’s and toasties with great coffee and a warm welcome. Very well priced for huge portions, so much filling in the sandwiches you could almost share them!

Nicely decorated cafe, dog friendly, decent tea & coffee and a geerously filled sandwich nicely presented. Would have welcomed something more breakfasty on the menu at 9am.

We came upon this unassuming cafe whilst wandering around the shops and decided to stop for lunch. On entering we were pleasantly surprised at the bright clean spacious interior. The staff are all welcoming, friendly and helpful. The menu is typical of this type of establishment....paninis/sandwiches/salads etc. with a full range of coffees. The meals are really plentiful, so much so, I had to request a doggy bag for half my sandwich (too good to waste) When next visiting Ryde, I will definitely be making this my 'pitstop' 👍 P.S. I love the colourful painting of the goat on the wall.

I had the pepperoni pizza panini and a strawberry smoothie. All freshly made whilst you wait and all very tasty.

I’ve been here a few times. It’s now become my regular place in Ryde for breakfast. Always greeted with a smile. The waffles with bacon and maple syrup are to die for. And they have the best paninis I’ve ever had. Definitely worth a visit. The artwork is something special too.

Looking for a somewhere to buy a sandwich and drink during our visit to Ryde we came across The Wonky Goat. With the intriguing name and quirky art work adorning the walls we weren't quite sure what to expect. Our uncertainty was immediately dispelled with a friendly welcome (we found all of the staff friendly and helpful). Looking at the menu we found a good range of food and drink options. Our order was served in timely fashion and the portions were generous, well-presented and very tasty. We noticed how many local customers came in whilst we were there and we thought that was a good sign of a well-regarded cafe, and on our experience we were not at all surprised. The Wonky Goat was very much a delightful discovery.

Nice cafe on Ryde main shopping street, modern and unpretentious, serving nice cafe food (sandwiches, salads, subs, croissants). All good, fresh, and reasonably priced. Family-friendly and many quirky art hanging around the place is for sale.

This cafe does the best coffee! Also yummy sandwiches and though I have only had it once the Smores cake was to die for! Handy location for when you are pottering about Ryde

Fresh clean spacious restaurant, friendly Team. My Oat Latte was super and naughty Bacon Brie Panini delicious 😋 Would definitely recommend this restaurant. Panini's, Sandwiches, Salads, Kids Lunch Box, Hot/Cold drinks, Alcoholic drinks, Desert... Union Street, Ryde IOW....

Perfect spot for a delicious lunch with our dachshund in tow, very doogy freindly. Chatty staff, warm atmosphere and delicious food. We all had extremely tasty pannnis for our lunch and were not disappointed. The children had smoothies that looked as good as they tasted. Quirky artwork and modern feel, really happy with our choice for lunch.

What a fabulous little find ! Very spacious and not crammed so easily accessible for pushchairs and wheelchairs users. We had 2 x panini’s 1x pizza and cheese and ham and a chicken, avocado & bacon sandwich. All good was packed with filling and didn’t disappoint at all …. Fresh and totally yummy. The coffee latte had a beautiful flavour and soo smooth I could have had another one. If you’re looking for a scrummy lunch with good food and prices this should definitely be your goto.

Popped in here with my wife and young son for an early lunch. They have a small play area which kept our son entertained. Food is fairly priced and boy do you get plenty of it!! We’ll be back soon I’m sure.

I am really taken aback at the friendliness and good service the food is great! It may seem a bit pricey but in realists good value. I ordered a crispy bacon Paninni and that is exactly what I got plus a side salad with a bit of depressing and crisps. The bacon was plenty full and not just a bit and a lot of bread. The toilets were extremely clean so that is a big plus. Thanks for a great experience.

We had a lovely lunch here with our 4 month old. The soft play area at the back was great for us as we'd been travelling a lot in the day, it is quite small so perhaps would have struggled if there were other kids but we were able to set him down and play about whilst our food was being prepped. The coffee was really good. We also had a salad & panini. We're both vegetarians and we had a couple options which is always a result for us. They do vegan bacon & cheese in sandwiches/salads. Nice atmosphere. People were playing games / chatting etc Would recommend & visit again!

Our first visit to the Wonky Goat on Sunday, will certainly not be our last! Lovely, friendly service, delicious smoothies and our sandwiches and panini were so tasty and packed full of fillings! Excellent value for money!

Brilliant! Nice spot in the window. Nice and cool but the sandwiches were lovely and delicious. Really good size with crisps and salad. Great service. Good coffee too.

Searching for a light vegan lunch I stumbled across this place. The vegan cheese/pesto panini was great, with fresh salad and crisps. Good price, friendly staff, clean place with good coffee. I’ll come again.

Had a trip out to Ryde today and saw this cafe and decided to go in. It’s very modern with young staff. They were polite and friendly. We ordered a salted caramel frappe and a peanut butter one. They were brought to our table and...

Stopped off for lunch with family on a day trip to Ryde. Has a little play area for small children, lovely staff and atmosphere and the best panini I have ever had! So fresh and full of filling. Definitely recommend the bacon, Brie and cranberry!

Our first trip to The Wonky Goat ,but definitely not our last. The chicken ,bacon and avocado was the best sandwich I've ever had . The staff were friendly and the premises were very clean. Excellent

What a great café. Lovely vibe, friendly staff, and delicous drinks. I had the deluxe hot chocolate and it was delicious. My partner had the strawberry smoothie which was, to quote: "one of the best smoothies I've ever had". To top it off, the music...

As a resident of Ryde, I thought I would give this cafe a go, as like to support local business. It turned out to be huge mistake. We waited 20 minutes for a cup of tea, and 40 minutes for two paninis, hoping it would...

Great selection of paninis and sandwiches. I had the hunters panini, with very generous portion of crispy bacon, chicken and BBQ sauce. Partner had cheese, tomato and pesto toastie. Both very good. Panini itself could have been a little more toasted for my liking, but...

Visited this cafe with my Dad today for the first time and was very impressed with the food. Generous portions and delicious. Fantastic tasting coffee and the latte art was great! Highly recommend

Absolutely lovely friendly stop for refreshments. The best latte I have had for a very long time (pumpkin spice flavour). The frappes were awesome and the staff were really friendly and welcoming. Food looked lovely so hope to pop by before we leave to try....

Went here for breakfast today, delicious coffee and food. Had a really amazing salted caramel latte and the waffles with bacon and maple syrup. So much bacon!!!. Service really grea!!

We were blown away by the most delicious, high quality, generous and tasty lunch. We had 3 sandwiches and a chicken Caesar and it was banging. Lovely coffee too and nice vibe in good surroundings. We will definitely be back.

After 10 minutes of being blanked by 2 staff members I went to the counter. Their conversation was way more important than dealing with customers. Classic example of the crisis in staff recruitment in the UK.

We make a special trip here every time we visit the island. Always amazing, fresh and well presented food. The salads are epic! Yummy homemade cakes and the mango smoothies are delicious. Next time will be trying a Frappe! Staff are friendly and the interior...

Stopped off for a latte and was not dissaponted. The coffee used is very tasty and we were served by excellent staff. A nice location and very relaxed. Worth a visit.

Popped in here for lunch today for the first time. Really friendly staff, the food was really good and didn't take too long, even though they told us there would be a delay as they were busy, we only waited about ten minutes for our...

Great venue, great staff, great coffee! Two of us also had smoothies which were very nice. Recommended

Half the time you cannot get In this place as soon as they get six orders in out goes the sign saying 'no sit in, no takeaway'. Surely people should be able to make their own minds up if there is a delay in service...

Came in for a coffee spotted the cookies and decided to have 2, the biscoff is unreal and the New York was great too. Great coffee as well, saw some food come out that looked unbelievable aswell. Very Friendly staff very clean premises child friendly....

Great food as other reviews say. However, the service is too slow and lacking any charisma. The staff make themselves look busy but with a team of 3 it is unacceptable that tables are left dirty and filled with plates for over two hours.

Order 2 paninis Brie bacon & cranberry & hunter panini. Beautifully presented and tasted amazing. Charming little place

As a tourist in the area looking for a late lunch we spotted this place along the high street of Ryde and decided to try it out. We were not disappointed.

It’s everything that the great reviews say, lovely food, friendly staff, nice decor. My only issue is that three times now I have looked in between 10:30 and 11 a.m for just a coffee and it took ages to arrive even though the staff are...

Very friendly, helpful staff. Coffee was good and teacakes were excellent. Would recommend this coffee shop if you're passing.

Very friendly, professional service with a great selection of food and drinks. Smoothies are delicious and the sandwiches/paninis have a generous amount of filling, with fresh side salad and crisps. Perfect for families, with plenty of space between tables, kids lunch options and there’s even...

The staff here were absolutely fantastic. We had to rearrange the tables as we were a big group with dogs. They couldn’t have been more accommodating. The coffee was delicious and the huge hot chocolate and decadent milkshakes were a hit with the kids. Food...

Visited today with my husband and 2 boys. Very friendly staff and the food was delicious. Really generous portions, busy in a good way and very clean. Recommend.

I visited the Wonky Goat this morning after a recommendation from a friend. How disappointing. The frosty reception wasn't appreciated and the wait for a take away coffee was too long, seems though the place is dead. Won't be rushing back. What a shame.

Found this gem not long after it opened on a visit from the mainland. Trendy setting, gorgeous coffee, amazing food and super friendly service. Totally able to cater to allergies with ease and I have a fair few. Long may The Wonky Goat reside in...

Visited a couple of times during my trip to the Isle of Wight. Great lunch, coffee and pastries in a lovely setting. Staff were always polite, friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend to others!

Simply the best of everything. Nothing was too much trouble. Busy at lunchtime but everything was perfect. Well worth a visit.

Been to eyde lots of times but never eaten here. So nice to have vegan bacon as a choice & the panini I had was delicious. My boys had Oreo waffles which they loved. Fabulous coffee. All tables spaced out which was reassuring. Nice staff....

Ordered the hunters chicken panini and a decaf tea. Wasn’t disappointed, very large portion with crisps and salad. Large amount of chicken and bacon on the panini. Fast service with friendly staff.

We popped in for drinks whilst shopping in Ryde, lovely quirky little place. We loved the decor, coffee and tea were good.

Excellent independent coffee shop on the main street in Ryde. Great staff and very decently priced salads/paninis. The signature Wonky Goat Salad is huge and delicious; great slabs of chicken breast piled with avocado, goat’s cheese, peppers, lettuce etc. Definitely recommended.

Absolutely fabulous salads for lunch in this modern clean cafe on the main drag of Ryde. Having been in twice for coffee and being on a low carb diet we decided to have the salad for lunch. We'll presented with plenty of mixed salad not...

This is an excellent coffee shop with a varied and relatively light food menu.. The food and coffees that we had were quickly served and were superb !! The cafe was very clean and tidy, the atmosphere was great and the staff were excellent throughout...

Came in on the off chance with family. The cafe took dogs which was ace. Inside has a Costa like atmosphere but staff were really friendly. Drinks and food very good value for money. Paninis were great quality and good portions. Had a children’s cafe...

Very good food and drink. Fantastic kids area and really good atmosphere. The hot chocolate was very nice and the cakes are to die for

The deluxe hot chocolate was fantastic, the best I have ever had. Very family friendly and accommodating.

Nice and clean coffee shop. Best frappé and hot chocolate. Panini's were filling and the biscoff slice is the best!

Excellent Coffee excellent spiced chai latte. Friendly service and staff. Food was very well presented and very tasty

Absolutely lovely food and nice ambience to the place. Staff who care and service with a smile. Try the bacon and Brie panini - delicious! Mango smoothie was really good as well. A lovely spot for lunch.

A nice family friendly place, even has a small play area at the back of the restaurant. The menu was yum, the cakes section was double yum and the milkshakes, hot chocolate was even more yummy. The staff were friendly and very helpful and seem...

A nice little spot, very big and spacious so no fear of being overcrowded. Coffee was made with care but unfortunately it did taste like my oat milk flat white was made with dairy (I'd taken away so it was too late to do anything...

Excellent breakfast, crispy bacon panini was delicious and added avocado -perfect. Highly recommend, clean, modern and Friendly staff.

Delicious paninis, oreo waffles, cakes, coffee and frappes. Visited this week - 26 August. Couldn't get in for lunch as full so came back for brunch the next day. Worth the wait. Everything lovely, happy family! And staff lovely too. Will definitely come back

Serves one of the best flat white( extra shot) I have ever had.. Kudos. Can get busy. Not had the food but it looks and smels great.

Took the kids to IOW for the day and passed this fabulous place. We noticed the photo of milkshakes in the window and ventured in. THE BEST milkshakes ever! Great coffee too. Lovely staff. Very clean. Great place.

The best crispy bacon panino I have EVER eaten...cannot recommend highly enough...good service, clean premises, friendly staff, reasonably priced too...can't wait to return 10 /10

My daughter and I have visited twice together. Were bowled over by the service and value for money . An interesting and varied menu with lots of healthy choices.

Only open during the day but serving a great selection of food. I had the chicken and goats cheese salad which was very good and my friend had the crispy bacon and brie panini which was the best he had ever had. Staff friendly and...

Just love this place! Whether just for a great coffee, quick lunch or tasty breakfast, the staff are always so friendly. Gorgeous cakes, some vegan and gluten free choices. The breakfast special bacon panini is fab value too. Give it a try.

So clean including toilets absolutely spotless it has a five for hygiene I can see why food is carefully prepared you usually know it’s better when you have wait for it to be prepared so beautifully presented and absolutely delicious been twice now and will...

Fell upon this place by accident so pleased we did.. Waffles are amazing. Hubby said pannini was best he'd had whilst on the island.

We found this cafe by chance and wow, what an amazing find! I had a salad which was loaded with chicken and bacon. Everything was really fresh and such a nice lunch which kept us full for a very long time!

Came in for lunch and was impressed with the delicious (and massive!) salads. I loved the commitment to the theme as well from the artwork, to the names of the salads, and even the WiFi password 😂

All you could want from a coffee place. Top place to visit in the Isle of Wight! Perfect also when you’re peckish or have a bit of a sweet tooth!

Love it - friendly service, inclusive environment, lovely food and drink- especially the coffee. Environment is also very nice.

My friends and I (3) have been meeting at the wonky goat for a few weeks the staff are very friendly and prompt with their service.. Unfortunately a two Adults came in wearing No masks and no member of staff appeared concerned... which has made...

The place was beautifully decorated, very cosy and warm! The service however was very slow. Sat I front of the kitchen/sandwich bar, could see our food being prepared incredibly and unnecessarily slow creating a pre-work lunch turn into a stressful rush. Food was lovely

Stopped here for lunch during a visit to Ryde. Good Covid-19 procedures in place, friendly service and the paninis and baguettes were fine, including one on gluten free bread.

Stopped off for coffee and cake. Brilliant cafe with tables well spaced and sanitiser by the door. Everything was very clean and as soon as people left, the table and chairs were sanitised. Lovely coffee and scrumptious cake! Staff very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

Visited today. Sunday. Fantastically clean and pleasant cafe. Great panini. Great coffee. Excellent tea. Nice friendly atmosphere and staff. Everything made on site. Including cakes and slices. Food preparation is done in full view. Very good quality food.
