I still know it as the Strand cafe. Last 2 times we've been to Minehead we ate breakfast

Won't be visiting again.We walked in sat down to order food. We went to the till to then be told they have closed the kitchen and they aren't doing food. Not once did anyone working co.e up to let us know. We were clearly sat looking at the food menu.3 staff members walked past our table and not one out of courtesy came up to let us know.It's not hard to put a sign next to you menu on the window saying kitchen closed and it's not difficult to come to the table to welcome your customers and let them know the kitchen is closed!

The food was good. But the cutlery is so old and really needs cleaning and polishing or just chucking away. It is self serve cutlery section where everyone’s dirty fingers go in to pick and choose. Honestly I had to go through so many to find just enough adequate ones for for 6 of us than I used tissues to self clean. There was still food residues on some from the dishwasher, just use a well known brand to clean your dishes or just provide disposable ones, or invest in NEW ones.Otherwise the food and drinks and ice cream selection are ok for quick lunch or breakfast. Yes like other reviewers mentioned, you need to be paying guest to use toilets, which we did not use. Quick lunch or breakfast by sea with the ice cream options. The vegetarian breakfast was good.

We have been coming to mine head for years on end, we always used to come to this cafe for breakfast.We went in this year with our new one year old who is allergic to eggs. We went and asked if they could use a separate pan for some breakfast for her and they simply told us to leave and find somewhere else

We stopped for breakfast the service was great, food was amazing, if your out and about and want a bite its value for money. Sea view and food who could ask for more. Support the local cafes, and enjoy a good cooked breakfast.

Have used this cafe a few times on holiday and got caught short on the beach. Spoke politely to lady who refused to let me use the loo without an immediate purchase.Where’s the humanity? I will never give someone so unkind another penny. Life is short and if that’s what people are becoming then they need a reality check

Ham egg and chips was one wafer slice of ham and one egg. Really miserly.

Stopped here for a light lunch, the atmosphere is great if you like the classic English seaside cafe experience, which I very much do. In particular the service and the ambiance was great.
Simply the best Knickerbocker Glory ever! All of the ice cream sundaes here are wonderful! Dog friendly too and they now have doggy ice creams as well!

Lovely selection of ice cream staff were quite miserable the few times we have been

Food was simple but good, full breakfast was great, building and facilities somewhat dated, basic and sun faded, but clean and tidy.Pretty sure if we're back this way, then it will defo be on the list for a full breakie again.Jaffa cake Ice cream was very good.
