What User doesn't like about Beach House Cafe:
The veggie stack I had was pretty similar to a standard vegan version of a British breakfast in that it had potatoes, mushrooms, roasted tomatoes, and some sautéed spinach. It was fine, and nice to have the option in such a small town, but it certainly wasn’t anything terribly original. A decent enough option but nothing that stands out at all for quality, execution, or value. View all feedback. What User likes about Beach House Cafe:
Todays special was a vegan stack however I asked to change as I don't like avocado. I had spinach, mushrooms, asparagus and beans. On way out I noticed I was missing the toast offered. View all feedback.

Very unreliable as to when they are open. Web says they are “open” but they are not open. Frustrating so go elsewhere. Service: Dine in
