West Quay Baker's / Cafe in Lewes

I came here all the time, today I will not return the lady staff was extremely rude! Because my kids came in with 2 cans of cherry coke from the store next door ad they do not have drinks they liked or are the cans cold, I was rudely told to put them away ,so we left sp for a £1 can of coke they lost £20 in profits plus I'll never return and I'll spread the word i have my own business, and if I found out a staff member cost my business money and a customer she would be gone this is not good business.

Brilliant location And decent food at decent price Served with smile Overlooking boats Hidden gem In such pretty location Parking too

Had a really tasty, reasonably priced breakfast with the family this morning. Food was freshly prepared and good quality. Service was good, the cafe had a lovely atmosphere and was clearly a popular local stop. We had driven down from Manchester and had breakfast before the ferry crossing. Would definitely recommend.

Wow. What a lovely menu. Very cheap and good quality. We visited there with 3 border collies and they made us very welcome. Wish we lived closer we would be in there every day. Thanks guys

I would just like to warn people that this cafe is a joke and the female manager is extremely rude my son who is autistic went into get him self a portion of chips he had purchased a drink next door only for the stupid rude waitress said he wasn’t allowed to go in because he had a drink in his hand which he then pasted to me they then let him order however they continued being rude to him I approached the owner and she was so smug and rude this has left my son distressed I hope the snotty nose waitress know what she done and as the for the food it’s was crap and I will be reporting it to environmental health

Good food felt welcome best café in Newhaven great staff 👍🏻 would recommend to anybody also great value for money

Excellent Cafe, well pleased. staff very accommodating, great value for money, gluten free options brilliant especially for a coeliac like me. Have ben going since we moved into Newhaven 2.5 yrs ago. Found it by mistake with my granddaughter when she wanted to walk along the harbour, best mistake I have ever made. BRILLIANT

Conveniently situated 5 minutes from the ferry port, West Quay was welcoming, dog friendly and excellent value with nearby parking. We had the super value big breakfast. Spoiled for choice the cafe’s varied menu caters for all tastes and dietary requirements at a budget price. Don’t waste your time or money with food and drinks on the ferry. Enjoy brunch on arrival here instead. We will definitely be back.

Went in here for breakfast but whilst waiting at counter no acknowledgement by staff so wasn't sure to sit to order or stand was completely blanked by man serving then my brother who was sitting at the table said he was cold because door was wedged open because cafe was full of fumes and it was 2 degrees outside so we decided to leave and won't return in the future

Good stop over for a big breakfast while waiting for the ferry to Dieppe. Friendly service, good portions. Quite a small cafe but there was room despite it being the morning rush

Had a lovely bacon sarnie and a cup of tea Would have had a breakfast and will do do next time Terrific table cloths

Large menu with lots of different dishes from full English breakfasts to home cooked lunches and quality Specials. Booking is advisable at lunchtime. Very friendly and efficient staff

We came here last minute... food was cooked to order so slightly longer than an average cafe, BUT worth the wait, amazing quality & portion size along with very friendly staff... we'll be back 😁

Over the past few Months I have been going to various Cafe's looking at the various breakfast being served and commenting on the food and customer service This is the first time to this small café. in Newhaven I found customer service was satisfactory the staff appeared to be friendly. Table service was as you would expect in a small café. My cooked Breakfast this morning was I am sorry to say not to the standard I have eaten at other places. Although the price was also less than the others £17 for two of us. others have been on average £30. A big difference One egg one sausage and 3 pieces of bacon with beans or tomatoes. one slice of bread cut in half plus one pat of butter. There was no offer of wholemeal bread so I was served with white bread I asked for Poached egg but was served with fried. (I admit I did not question this error) My biggest regret was the cooked bacon. I'm sorry to say I was extremely disappointed with the bacon. I found it was very fatty and undercooked. I will say that this little café could be a winner But I'm sorry the breakfast needs to be upgraded. Other food served I cant answer for. I would love to return again and hopefully see an improved breakfast Bacon needs to be crispier bread alternative and change them awful bland sausages even if it means increasing your prices.

This was our 4th visit to this friendly cafe, table service, COVID safe and great value. I had the full English breakfast offered with several options and have to say generous portions. Spotlessly clean and great coffee. Well worth a visit.

What a fabulous little cafe. I had the most delicious ginger hot chocolate, the best I've ever had. Fantastic vegetarian choices on the menu as well. I highly recommend a visit

Always come here for a Sunday cooked breakfast every so often. The staff are very friendly and the cafe is very clean and tidy. The quality of the food is really good especially the sausages and there’s plenty of quantity and it’s not swimming in fat it’s very clean! Keep the good work up guys!

We often go down for a full English , this time I had a full Italian and it was beautiful and a real change from a full English will be back

A cafe adjacent to Newhaven Marina, with on-street parking.Staff are friendly and very helpful. High chairs are available. There are the usual (and some unusual) ‘All day breakfasts’ plus add-on extras, some interesting ‘specials’ (I had liver and bacon, that came with mash and fresh vegetables (not a tomato, pea or onion ring in sight!)And some amazing homemade desserts (Toblerone Cheese cake !!!)

My companion and I really needed a proper fry up and we were delighted with the food and friendliness here. There were several choices of breakfast and within them there were choices too so you get exactly what you want, really great prices and lovely friendly staff.It's quite rough and ready in there (No toilet seat in the toilet etc) but still recommended, nice and clean.

Un très bon Breakfast Anglais typique. Accueil sympathique, choix assez large, plats très copieux. Seule zone d’ombre, la chaleur des cuisines, merci d’investir dans un climatiseur.

Nice food and coffee, friendly staff and fast service. I'd recommend visiting if you're heading out to newhaven fort :)

Had Breakfast here on the second morning of my stay. Breakfast is a great meal but so much better when freshly cooke especially the fried egg. Also so nice to get a Fried Slice as a special treat

Recently visited the WQC for lunch and was impressed by the welcome and food. This is a genuine working cafe not a poncy restaurant offering good quality value for money meals with a friendly smile

Friendly, typical cafe but with decent furnishings. Not for the vegetarians as bacon smell pretty high when there but good prices. Local MPs Constituency office is next door and Maria Caufield treated us to her presence half way through!

Popped into this cafe after a walk along the top of the cliffs, very pleasant staff, the owner chats with all the regulars, on the day I was there the cafe was very busy, which to me is a good sign, the food was good, the premises was very clean, the food I had was excellent, definitely will be going back again with my walking partner,

Great place to stop and have a breakfast, after a stroll along the harbour. Near to the Marina and recreation ground.

I work near by and we often visit for lunch. Great friendly service from Paul and Tracy. The food is always great and there is such a variety. Will definitely be returning again and again.

We have English breakfast here every now and again. Friendly service, good breakfast, nice thick toast (not cheap bread), hot and plentiful. great when you want a fry up without clearing up after!

Paul and Tracy run this cafe and you have a huge variety of dishes from which to choose either for breakfast or lunch. Spotlessly clean and good food served with a smile and freshly cooked to order. Well worth a visit and good value.

Good honest food with a friendly atmosphere. Will difinately be visiting regularly. The breakfasts are amazing. Good quality food served.

Buena comida y un entorno estupendo. Siempre tiene un ritmo aceptable con una sonrisa en su cara. Se lo recomendaría a cualquiera para un gran desayuno.

Really satisfying tasty breakfast, perfect quick service even when very busy, good value, will definitely return.

Lovely little Cafe in the heart of the Newhaven's marina. Warm and friendly atmosphere, Tracey & Paul the owners always happy and smiling. Always a warm welcome!Lots to choose from on the menu. We've only been for Breakfast but they also offer lunch. Highly recommend the West Quay Breakfast and the Eggs Bennedict. Lovely fresh cut loaf!Coffee's are fantastic, and great tasting! Lovely strong tasting coffee and options for shots of caramel etc. Food is cooked fresh to order and good waiting times. Child friendly with high chairs available.Will be back

We've recently moved just round the corner from here. EXCELLENT Bacon baguette and very good full breakfast, all cooked to order.

Great place for a full-English breaky. Taken there by my friends in Newhaven. Fried egg was perfect - no burnt bits, bacon, sausage, toms, hash browns, coast and coffee. Very yummy.

It doesn't look much from the outside and could easily missed - but we were cycling from Seaford to Newhaven and back on a damp blustery day and it was a perfect find. Full English was hot and delicious (great Bubble 'n' Squeak), and our daughter polished off her jacket potato with tuna. We'll now want to do that particularly cycle ride more often...

Recently visited Newhaven and had breakfast at WQC, the owners have recently made some alterations to the place which works really well. Food is as good as ever, quality sausages and great coffee.

We visited a few Saturday's ago for lunchThe cafe was nice and cleanThe staff were friendly and a good laughI had the west quay burger it was lovely My wife had a full English which she said was gorgeous as well especially the sausagesWithout doubt the best cafe around the area

Had a great breakfast and natter with the owners , what a great , friendly cafe ! The whole area of west quay has been sorted out . If your in the area pop in this cafe , the best in the new haven

I love this place, friendly staff and absolutely amazing English breakfast with all the trimmings. No frozen or tinned ingredients. All cooked to order too.. Not warmed up. Will definitely be back!

Went here for breakfast and was massively disappointed. Upon walking in to the place, I said good morning to no reply! Ordered 2 breakfasts, which varied slightly as requested, and both were very poor. The mushrooms seemed to be tinned as they had no flavour, all remaining items were frozen, bread was one slice only covered in butter, the bubble was either pickled or covered in some sauce, either way it wasn't nice! The staff working then popped out for a cigarette and returned without washing their hands as well. Needless to say, I won't be retuning!

Newhaven is an appalling place. There is almost no-where even half-decent to have dinner in the evening. Cafes are almost all of the ‘Greasy Spoon’ variety. We stumbled onto the West Quay Café by chance after along the coast from Brighton and arriving in Newhaven via the Fort. The cafe is not in the town itself but on the edge of Newhaven’s less than impressive marina. The first impression was favourable, despite the inappropriate Gothic lettering of ‘West Quay Café’. Inside the tables and chairs were much superior to the usual ‘Greasy Spoon’ standard. It was clean and there was an attempt at style. However, the proprietors would do well to take lessons in how to deal with customers – other people in general, even. We sat down waiting for service but no service came. Instead I went to the counter. Neither the man nor woman behind the counter were friendly. They were unsmiling and abrupt to the point of rudeness. In this respect they were typical examples of homo-Newhaven.On the positive side we were surprised to find Eggs Benedict on the menu. My wife went for the Eggs Benedict and I ordered a bacon sandwich. We both ordered tea. Tea arrived at the table with a tea bag in the mug and milk already added. Despite the proprietors’ efforts to sabotage the tea, it was fine. To my wife’s great surprise the Eggs Benedict were good and the proprietor actually smiled as he delivered it to the table. I certainly had no complaints about my bacon sandwich. There was no attempt to appear slightly upmarket by adorning the bacon sandwich plate with a few crisps or lettuce and tomato. In this respect the presentation was strictly ‘Greasy Spoon’. The total cost for our lunch was less than £10. Back in Lewes we would have paid £30 for the same.Verdict: Despite the proprietors' concerted attempts at being unfriendly and their gauche interaction with customers, we would go to the West Quay Cafe again. It was excellent value for money and there is no cafe better in Newhaven.

They do a lovely hot chocolate! (Amongst other things.) Good location too, just by the marina and not far from the beach.

On our first visit to this cafe was just for two take-away lattes,the Female was not byany means friendly! there was no "hello", no smile, in fact we even had to ask where the sugar was!! she pointed & indicated it was by the door. We are locals and walk this way almost every day we thought we would give it another try for their "Sunday Roast" Four of us ordered their roast, the vegetables are microwaved, meat was dry!but above all the potatoes are deep fried and they cannot make gravy! the portions are small for the price, We did'nt feel comfortable enough to stay for coffee as the LOUD owners walked in with no smiles for their customers.

Lovely little cafe was greeted by 2 friendly ladies who were extremely helpful we ordered food and the service was extremely quick despite being busy and food was just lovely lots to choose from all in all lovely place which will will be returning to x

A nice clean and cosy place to eat. Reasonable prices. We liked the breakfast selection. A really good cup of tea too.

Friendly little caffee. We had a traditional breakfast and it was good. We even had the sausage and we normally do not eat the sausage. The portion was just fine for me but my husband said it could be bigger. The price of the food to its quality deserves a 5 star review (there are places that serve much greaser food and are priced twice as much).

Had a lovely full english breakfast today,it was really nice especially the sausages they use which are amazingNice friendly ownersAnd the cafe was spotlessly cleanWould definately recommend

Worst baguette I've ever bought. I ordered a prawn baguette to take away, staff were rude, whatever happened to service with a smile? I had about 6 small prawns, it was all bread with a bit of sauce. Wouldn't recommend this place.

Went here on Saturday for lunch with my wife. The food was fine but the welcome was very poor. No acknowledgement as we arrived. Very unfriendly service. The lady I assume to be the owner barely spoke the whole time we were there. Perhaps they were having an off day.

Lots of combinations on offer, delicious freshly cooked English breakfast, very tasty bacon and sausage and very reasonable prices. Just off the early boat from Dieppe, this is just what you need!

Clearly a family run establishment, these guys have a cute little bakery on the riverside that does exactly what it says on the tin. Only visited a few times but have always found them pleasant and really welcoming - 5 stars from me!

A friendly little place, with a good choice of breakfast combinations at reasonable prices. Tasty food, quick service and a handy location for Newhaven town, the harbour and the fort.

Great variety of foods including traditional fry ups and roast dinners, along with delicious pastries baked freshly on the premises. All in a warm and friendly environment. Oh, and they deliver!!

Used this great little Cafe recently before a fishing trip as it seems very popular with local sailors and fisherman. Very friendly staff, had a lovely fried breakfast and an excellent coffee. Really nice place and will be using again

Great breakfast open early which is great as this is what newhaven marina was missing and was surprised to see them still open when we returned from the boat trip

Great food,great owners and value for money! What more do you want? Make sure you pop in. Always like to support an independent business that has just started out. Look forward to going back.

Very good food , great prices and the staff are willing to do anything for you , a real gem in the town .....highly recommended.
