What User likes about Lodestar Cafe:
coffee and walnut cake was really good and the service was friendly and timely. esteemed no different than the cake, so can not really comment what I saw served to others looked good. directly on the beach so a little expensive, but to expect in this situation. View all feedback. What vonireland doesn't like about Lodestar Cafe:
The restaurant has a built-in customer base, but that doesn't mean the management can afford to be complacent. With competition around, they should step up their game. While the tea was good, the Smartie cookie was just average. Some improvement and effort could really make a difference for them. View all feedback.

Well, what can I say. Visited here on a relatively quiet Sunday morning for coffee and breakfast. The coffee was ok but as for the breakfast- it never arrived!...

Lodestar Café, prominently located on the waterfront, boasts a built-in customer base and a picturesque setting. However, dining experiences vary widely. While some patrons enjoyed delightful milkshakes and well-presented cakes, others faced service delays and subpar meals, particularly with their fish and chips. Complaints of cold plates and overcooked food marred expectations, highlighting inconsistencies in kitchen performance. Overall, while the café offers reliable drinks and a serene atmosphere, it should enhance food quality and service efficiency to remain competitive in the bustling dining scene. Those seeking a leisurely outing may find charm, but caution is advised for meal choices.
