This is the second time we have visited and it won’t be the last, wonderful food with everyone catered for, we were warned we would have to wait for our food but it arrived quickly, very friendly staff good quality and so convenient for anyone on the beach, reasonable priced

It can be a struggle finding gluten free food out and about, but not so at this cafe!! We were thrilled to find a double-sided dedicated gluten free menu, with additional vegan options (finally someone who understands that vegan and gluten free are NOT the same thing!). Food was quick, generously portioned, good value and delicious for lunchtime by the beach. Congratulations and keep up the great work!!

Lovely food. We were new to Hunstanton and were told to eat here by a local. We were amazed. Friendly service, tasty food not to expensive.

What a great little cafe. Delicious food, Friendly and happy staff , Great location - 2 minutes from the sandy beach Jupiter ( my dog ) and I had a lovely hour watching the world go by. Thank you ?

We have been visiting Old Hunstanton for years and have always used this cafe, it is quite simply one of the best cafes in the country. The staff are amazing, the food is fantastic (and they cater for just about everybody) it is super dog friendly Thier cheesy dog biscuits are always wolfed down by our little muttly. Good range of beach accessories on sale, you can even borrow a litter picker and help keep the beach clean. Can't rate this highly enough.

Popped in here during our stay and enjoyed delicious GF cakes. So pleased they still do them. Lots of water bowls out for the dogs but maybe top them up as most were empty. I felt sorry for the dogs with lazy owners who didnt bother to try and get them filled. It was a hot day.

Really good full English breakfast - lots of options. Staff friendly and service excellent . In an amazing location just off the beach.

Great place with vegan options. Shame that misinformation was being spread there by hosting the light paper. If you see copies still there, I'd suggest you take them and recycle them!

We ordered a fish finger sandwich, a houmous and falafel salad, and two children’s scampi and chips, one of which was gluten free. They have extensive gluten free and vegan menus, with dairy-free milk options available for coffees. Cardboard and paper rather than plastic packaging (we had our food to takeaway). They were rushed off their feet but still found time to be friendly and helpful. Highly recommended - worth a bit of a wait if there’s a queue!

The Old Town Beach cafe is lovely. It is in a lovely spot, an easy 5 minute walk from a big car park, staffed by very friendly people. Their toasties are great and come with the freshest side salad I've had in ages. Lots for vegetarians (3 kinds of veggie sausage!). Overall a really lovely, honest little cafe right next to the beach. Can't fault it and would highly recommend.

Visited the cafe twice this week, on Sunday when it was busy and today when quiet. On Sunday I was advised of the wait time when placing my order which was a good idea. Staff were friendly and I could see the kitchen staff working well to fulfil the orders. Food was cooked fresh and was well presented and delicious unlike some of the very average breakfasts being served in Hunstanton town. Would recommend a visit. Lunches look good too but haven’t tried one yet.

What a find to finish off a wonderful holiday in Norfolk. We spent the morning at the beach and headed to the cafe for some lunch - it was absolutely delicious. My husbands breakfast was amazing with good quality ingredients and a generous portion. The falafel salad was also very tasty and just what I needed after a week of indulgence ? I did spot the cakes and had to take a couple home... WOW... I highly recommend the millionaire's shortbread and coconut & lime cake... both out-of this world!!! We will definatley return if we are ever in the area again.

There’s a full vegan menu with tonnes of options and the staff are so helpful. We visited twice during our Norfolk holiday. The location is lovely right next to the beach, and there’s plenty of outside seating. Over the two lunches we enjoyed the vegan breakfast (twice!), the smashed avocado on toast, scrambled tofu on toast, 1 savoury and 2 sweet scones and a piece of cake. Would not hesitate to recommend this cafe, and look forward to visiting again when we’re next in Norfolk.

We loved this place so much we went twice in one holiday. Brilliant for vegans, the scrambled tofu is delicious on toast and the scones and cakes to die for (would love the recipe for the fig and almond scone). Right by the beach, friendly staff, plenty of outside seating and dog-friendly so as far as I'm concerned, ticks all the boxes!
