Cool little cafe, very dog-friendly, fantastic coffee and delicious scones. Toilet clean, and hand-dryer effective. Would be happy to try wider menu if we aren't always so desperate to get good fish and chips when we get half a chance.

Every time we come to Hustanton we time it so we arrive early take an early morning beach walk then grab a breakfast from the Cafe! The food is always great... a fry up sets us up for the day! My Daughter loves the smoked Salmon and scrambled eggs on toast! Love that it's dog friendly too! Such a great place... thanks for the great times guys

Firstly I want to talk about the service. I use a stick to walk with and everyone who served me brought my food and drinks over without me having to ask. I've also had a stroke which can cause long pauses in my speech. Again everyone who served me waited patiently, without me having to ask. Added to that they were all smiling and friendly. Now I come to the food. They have a large menu: breakfasts, burgers, jacket potatoes, sandwiches... I also need a low fat diet and there were several items on the menu I could eat. In summary the service was outstanding, the food was excellent and the location near the lighthouse on top of the cliffs gave us a view across the Wash to Lincolnshire.

My friend & I (& our two dogs) had been on the Old Hunstanton beach for a walk, it was pretty windy too, when the heavens opened, we were drenched! So we decided to treat ourselves to a delicious Hot Chocolate & a toasted tea cake. The service was absolutely spot on, the gentleman also gave our dogs a gravy bone each, which we thought was a lovely touch. There’s great views from the Cafe, & a good selection on the menu too. Highly recommend.

We make a point to visit here when we come to Hunstanton now. Our favourite cafe. It's always been relatively busy when we've visited and it isn't hard to see why. The food is lovely and good value (both freshly cooked and the baked goods). Staff are polite and friendly. Lovely location, the beach next door is one of the better ones around.

Lovely, small place with friendly staff. Really good coffee, with milk alternative. Good food. You can eat in or out (picknick benches outside). Free toilet . Dog friendly place. Nice views from cliffs, close to the sandy beach with white and red cliff's. Huge carpark pay and display or park on street for free.
