One of very few places serving food on a Monday afternoon. We were trying to get to the Needles, but roads leading there were closed. Stopped here after going round and round, starving, kitchen was closing in 20 minutes. A very kind man got a table ready for us outside, promptly took our order and brought our drinks. His pleasant manner certainly calmed our nerves. Most of us ordered crab sandwiches, they arrived quickly, big portion of crab filling in a very fresh bread, delicious. Nice decor inside, restrooms clean. We also received detailed information how to get to our destination through the detours. Highly recommend.

Excellent spot for lunch. I had a great beef brisket open bagel, looked and tasted great. My wife had the capers salad which came on a long board, fresh and tasty. Our 4 year old had ham and cheese toastie, actually pretty big for a little one! Well worth a diversion

I went to this place on a Saturday Morning. It was a little bit challenging to find parking but we parked on a road nearby. You can see that this place is popular especially by cyclists.We went with our 12 month old baby and we received a very quick and friendly welcome, a table and a baby highchair. We ordered the Piano breakfast and the vegetarian option as well as a banana for the baby. We didn't have to wait long to be served and eat which was nice.The food was good, although we found the slice of bread a bit hard, and the beans were served in a small pot with a special something added to it, which personally I didn't particularly like, I would have preferred a normal pot of beans, with nothing special added to it.The egg was runny, which is good and the rest of the meal was nicely cooked.Later on, a person started playing the piano, which was nice because he played beautifully and added charm to the whole experience.The people working there were really friendly and polite. They didn't charge us for the banana the baby ate, which was thoughtful of them.The facility offered a baby changing station, but wouldn't recommend taking a pram with you. There isn't much space for it, unless you eat outside if there is space and no smokers around.Overall a good experience and I would recommend going.Vegetarian options: I only ordered the vegetarian breakfast, but I didn't search the menu for much more.Kid-friendliness: They have a kid menu, but I didn't ask for it.

Great place to grab a bite to eat. We were a big group of cyclists and the staff were not only very welcoming but they were really patient and friendly. The food was really well prepared and fresh tasting.. definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in this part of the world..

Visited the piano cafe for breakfast quite a few times during our holiday at Freshwater Bay. The food was amazing … the smoky beans were fantastic. Naz has told me how to do them …. Will never have ordinary beans on my breakfast ever again! Good job we don’t live nearby …. We would always be there!

My friend has problems with specific types of food. The young lady who served us went above and beyond to accommodate her needs, concocting a suitable dish which was delicious and nutritious. The cafe was warm and welcoming, the food beautifully presented and the service outstanding. Only downside was the “quaint” toilet which was fully functional and clean but could do with a bit of an update.
Piano Cafe goes from strength to strength ? Friendly team, speedy service, delicious tea and coffee and my shakshuka was delicious.

Bembridge basically shut Monday and Tuesday, especially on the cafe front. This place on Tripadvisor looked worth a punt. The weather helped so long drive. Too late for breakfast which finished at 11:30. I opted for a latte on the terrace overlooking the wonderful countryside. Nice to have it served in a large soda glass which made me feel like I was in Provence. £3:80 a bit steep but at least it was a decent size and not like in Spain, where they serve your cafe con leche in a cup the size of a thimble. Super smooth so no complaints. Must return for lunch but yeah the place does close early. Fidelscastrol.

Good sandwich’s. We were suggested here by locals, very friendly staff and has outdoor seating. Had the crab sandwich, which was the closest thing to seafood platter i didn’t get to have on this cycling trip.
