Just had one of the best cheeseburgers I've had in years here. Don't let the price put you off it's worth every penny. Good job everyone.

Cappuccino to write home about. Hot, but not that hot it can not be pleasantly drunk. Staff very friendly. A big thank you to whoever makes the Cappuccino.

We love coming here for an ice cream. The food options are freshly cooked and are very tasty. We got a Katsu Bao Bun and an Original Burger. They were generous portions and can be customised when asked (I got my Bao bun without chilli flakes) There is a good amount of seating attached to the building. We also got a dog sausage (already pre chopped) and our Germans Shepherd loved it ❤️

Was here a month or two back, there was a bit of a queue but it was a sunny day so to be expected. Only problem we had was the card machine went down and we had no cash on us. The staff let us have our ice cream and coffee for free due to this which was nice of them.

Can't fault the location or the food, the steak rice box was delicious and well worth the money paid. However, they are using sainsburys plastic cups for their wine which measure around 150ml but charging for 175ml. This should be looked at as against trading standards. Tbf for the price you could sell it as a smaller measure, but you should be advertising it for the same. Won't stop me going again!

Minchellas has been around since 1942 and serves beautiful ice cream. It was a bit chilly today for one today so we opted for cheese toasties and warming coffee. One of their parlours is situated right on the beach at Haven Point. Food and drink were lovely, reasonably priced, staff were very polite. Only down point was the table that we cleared ourselves to get a table. Worth a visit all year round but obviously if we get a summer it gets very busy.

The burger looked pre-made not fresh.. Monotone coloured, as if it was steamed - no obvious grilling or frying for tasty browning. Not dry, but tasted of stewed mince. A cold cheese slice placed on top of it. It doesn't matter how much other garnish you put on it (a lot), you've no excuse for getting something so simple and easy so wrong. But, the cajun chicken rice box was great, the service is superb, the coffee's ok and we all know about the great ice cream, so have a 3/5 .

Used to love this place but in my opinion it has gone down hill. Waited about 20 minutes for a wrap. I understand it can get busy but don’t take on loads of orders if yous can’t handle them. Also while I was ordering I heard a load of swearing from the man serving me while I was with my son. unprofessional

Ice-cream delicious as always but staff were miserable, arguing while making the ice cream and have me a filthy look when handing over the cones. The cone broke apart as the lady was making them up then the second ones when handed over broke apart in my hand covering my arm in ice cream. When I finally got to eat it too the cone also didn't taste very nice. Poor show more minchella profit over quality is not the way to go.

Bought two “Terry’s orange hot chocolates” on good Friday. Didn’t wait long but costed £6.60 altogether and wasn’t good. They looked good, topping was nice, plenty cream and enjoyed the two Terry’s orange segments but the actual hot choc itself just tasted of orange syrup and no chocolate, I didn’t have mine. It was out of a machine that isn’t very good. Also underneath the cream it was only half full. Very disappointed after a very long walk to Souter lighthouse and back. Won’t be returning.

Steak wrap, teacake and two coffees. We stopped off here due a cuppa and light bite as the other restaurants and cafe were not very appealing. Cold Dec day and all but 1 table free when we arrived. Food was very respectable for such a small cafe. Coffee was excellent as expected from Minchella franchise. Great service and friendly staff. Saw a chap in motorised chair and they couldn't do enough for him. Nice to see in this day and age.

Found this place by accident in April and tried the 6oz Aberdeen Angus bacon and cheeseburger. Totally out of this world and I eat a lot of burgers! Its hot, succulent and bursting with flavour and fillings. I'm not exaggerating in describing it as probably the best I've ever eaten- including America! Been back twice since then. The little cafe at Haven point is just right : clean, efficiently run with a friendly service. I will be a regular visitor.

Out for a walk along the coast so my wife and I called in for a tea and a coffee, the young man that served us was pleasant but the tea was cold and too milky and the coffee was horrible. This was a disappointing and no way as good as we expected , Minchella outlets in the town are much better. So this new establishment must get there act together and keep the image of quality expected from Minchella up. Can't complain about the food we didn't have any.
