This is such a little gem on the harbour especially if you love your vegan / superfood meals! Lovely friendly service.It's a little small so the (great!) music was too loud - I didn't invite my folks because they wouldn't have appreciated it.I had a yummy turmeric latte, a breakfast with haloumi and avo (large enough to share) and a "nice cream" as a healthy pud. That was heaven.Pricey though - nice cream was £8!! Cakes looked more run of the mill.Plastic plants everywhere...which is always very sad considering that we are all trying to avoid plastic bags and plastic generally ?

Looked for dog friendly cafes and this was looking good so decided to pay it a visit with our border terrier. On arrival, all tables were taken but the waitress offered me a table outside on the understanding I could move inside when one became available (I hate cold food). Managed to get a table inside soon after then ordered eggs benedict, doggy breakfast (sausage & scrambled egg) as well as a flat white. Food was well presented and very tasty & our dog loved his (chasing the paper plate around most of the cafe!) Staff were lovely and made a fuss of our dog. Well worth a visit.

Been a few times, not for the service but for the açai bowls. Visited today, 14/10/23 and was left to sit and wait for 30 minutes before someone even greeted us or took our order. We walked out. Others came in after us and were served immediately. I would understand if this was an extremely busy day or a large cafe, but the cafe is small and there are enough staff for tables. Unfortunately we were ignored today and we won’t be back, which is a shame considering the food and drinks have never disappointed in the past. However, past experience here has also highlighted the poor service. Numerous occasions I have visited here and been up to the till to order because the staff take so long to take your order. Every time I was told it was table service and a member would come and take my order. If staff were more attentive to the customers this would be 5 stars from me, unfortunately the service has let it down every time.

This place was a really great find. The menu is really lovely and the service is so friendly and quick. It's not easy to find somewhere that does fresh clean food outside of big cities, which is what makes this place such a gem. Will definitely be back and bringing others too. What a view as well.

We were recommended to visit as we are not from the area, just wanted a coffee and cake which was great as as soon as we walked in we were told foods finished. Server wasn't the chirpiest but hey ho. We opted for bakewell flapjacks which looked amazing......they were!! Cute little venue, was shocked to be told that there are no customer toilets in or indeed anywhere near the cafe but a 5 minute walk through the car park and to the marina. Can only imagine how annoying this must be for families with small children. I thought any establishment that serves food and drink for 10 customers or more had to provide a loo. Flapjacks....moreish. Everything else, facilities, customer service.....just okay.

Gorgeous little place with dreamy views. Ordered the Fresca l think it was called. Absolutely delicious! Fantastic flavours! Pretty blonde girl served us. She was extremely friendly, polite and very chatty, which we loved! Had my husband and l in a kink laughing! Knowledgable about the menu too. We overheard she was called Sarah so would just like to thank her again for a 5 star meal and service! Can’t wait to come back and try some more of this wonderful menu.

We visit Flamingo cafe in it’s beautiful setting weekly for Sunday lunch and it never fails to impress. Today Liv made garlicky avo on toast it was not only delicious but good wholesome clean food. The foods so delicious we always take a desert home for later which was white chocolate and raspberry bar and peanut butter bar. All of the servers including Beth are extremely pleasant and very friendly. Definitely worth a try energiser smoothie, eggs Benedict’s and Korean pulled pork on flat bread.

Fab food; lovely service; great range to choose from and what a kooky little place! Seaside view too: everyone should visit: we will return.
Visited today with my sister and we were served by Beth. She was very helpful with her sunny personality and went above and beyond for us and gave great advice on what food to try for brunch. We ordered the Eggs Benedict and the Fresca on her recommendation which was cooked fantastically by Liv the chef. The Eggs Benedict in particular was delicious with its Siracha hollandaise which added a lovely spice to the sauce. Both myself and my sister also had the bee pollen latte which was lovely, and we both left with a sweet treat to take home. Would highly recommend Flamingo for the wonderful staff, warm and welcoming atmosphere and tasty food on offer by the sea in Seaham!

Firstly our dish was full of fresh ingredients it was presented well, the taste was a fantastic combination of flavour a well balanced salad. Bursting with freshness.
