The cooked breakfast offers terrible value for money at £11. Everything was greasy and very dry. One piece of basic white bread cut in to two triangles for toast. Sausage cut in half, two pieces of tasteless american style streaky bacon and the smallest paper pot of beans you’re ever likely to see. The breakfast didn’t include coffee either….that was an extra £3 for a small black Americano so £14 altogether. Way overpriced and lacking in every department. Served in a paper fish and chips style tray…at that price I’d expect it at least on a proper plate. Absolute waste of money and left feeling completely underwhelmed.

Very poor service, waited 25 mins for a takeaway coffee. One staff member was very rude and abrupt. System for ordering coffee was dreadful.

We dropped in here during a visit to the nearby aquarium. The menu is basically burgers and they are pretty good. The seasoned fries I have to say were exceptional. They can do gluten free and vegan /vegetarian the whole family was covered. The coffee was somewhat inspid. The place is dog friendly. It was clean.

Walked in, 2 staff stood eating. Completely ignored by both, walked out. So many other places nearby that would happily welcome you for breakfast. A real shame.

Easily one of the best at the coast! Probably visit once a week be it for a pint, a burger or a take out coffee and never had a bad experience. It has such a welcoming, chilled vibe & there’s always something good going on- JD singing on Friday is always a treat! The large outside seating area is a hit with my doggos (they are a bit large for inside but they are welcome) and the views of the sea are dreamy and compliment a couple of pints nicely. The burgers are the best I have had (and I have had many) & I am fully addicted to the halloumi fries. There is something for everyone at the surf cafe and to top it off the owners/ staff are so lovely and friendly. Go if you haven’t already :)

Easily in the top 5 best burgers I’ve ever eaten! Fun little café with awesome decoration, friendly staff and surprisingly good (and affordable) burgers. We’ll be back :)

Tonali burger. Who knew the Italians liked a bit of spice. Lush ?? ?

The best burgers we’ve ever tasted! I had the peanut butter burger which was next level. Great atmosphere in an amazing location. I wish Surf Cafe every success.
What a Canny little Cafe, on the edge of the Bluff.Cleary a Regular Spot for Surfers, next to a Shop for Surfing Stuff.Happy Staff who were welcoming, however, after a Busy Weekend.All the food was Eaten, but the Coffee made Amend.Plenty of spaces for Parking, with Outdoor seating to enjoy the view.An excellent spot to have a Snack & for us Oldies : A Disabled LOO!!

We’ve just visited the surf cafe, super cool interior with lovely staff and amazing views of the beach. Also would recommend the salt and pepper chips as they were unreal.

I was really looking forward to trying the smash burgers here but unfortunately was completely disappointed by our visit. Luckily managed to find a table big enough for family of 4 with space for pram at side. After. A few minutes of confusion we realised you had to fetch own menus and order at bar. The burgers sounded great and I was pleased the kids menu was very reasonable. We ordered two burger from the main menu, side of beer battered onion rings and a kids burger. The burgers looked great, husband loved his but I found it far too greasy and the amount of fat dripping out of it was off putting and messy. Son loved his. The onion rings on the other hand were revolting, again fat dripping out, batter was not crispy and the were lacking in flavour. Something had seriously gone wrong, maybe a one off and we were unlucky? We also had a pint each. It was nice enough but I felt the £5 per pint price tag was a little on the steep side… maybe they’ve only recently put the prices up due to inflation or has it been £5 for a while?

Great little place on the coast with burgers and other food available. Can be quite costly for anyone on a budget but the food os really good and the indoor atmosphere is great when they have live singers on different nights a week.

50 minute wait for 2 mediocre warm coffees, absolute joke. Get your act together plenty more out there with better service and coffee.
