What seaseaseasiders doesn't like about Cafe Ciao:
Been regular visitors to ciaos for some time now but the new owners have now introduced a different menu where prices for breakfast have massively increased from very reasonable to expensive. No discernible quality difference and now looking poor value. Like supporting local businesses but will now eat elsewhere. Recommend cafe Ciaos don’t take customers for granted in these tough times, even supposedly affluent Thor... View all feedback. What Figarogir1 likes about Cafe Ciao:
We were searching for somewhere special to eat for our anniversary and came across the website for The Harbour in Thorpe Bay. We live within walking distance but had not visited since the restaurant was Cafe Ciao. The menus and photos looked good so we thought we would give it a try and definitely did not regret it. The staff are welcoming and clearly passionate about the food and what they are doing. Every course (a... View all feedback.

Coffee excellent cake was massive moist and gluten free. What more can I say apart from fantastic staff

The recently rebranded Mulberry in Thorpe Bay has stirred mixed emotions among locals. Once known for its cozy atmosphere and friendly service, this restaurant has undergone a significant makeover, attracting a younger crowd but losing some of its former charm. While many praise the high-quality ingredients and aesthetically pleasing dishes, complaints arise about noise levels and a lack of attentiveness from the staff. However, the welcoming ambiance, diverse menu, and beautiful presentation of meals have garnered positive reviews, leading hopeful diners to anticipate its potential as a modern dining gem in the community.
