What Zaphod125 likes about Beach Cafe:
We’d walked all the way from West Bay (8 miles) to Charmouth so we were happy to see the cafe although slightly disappointed that it was doing counter service only but fair enough. It was still extremely popular and the range of goodies was fine... View all feedback. What fluffymonkey doesn't like about Beach Cafe:
Zero social distancing going on here despite the cafes attempts to create a safer way to order collect drinks, it just didn't work. Coffee hot chocolates were fine, service without a smile here. It served a purpose to get some loose change for... View all feedback.

Nestled on the seafront, this cafe presents an appealing stop for weary coastal walkers seeking refreshment. While its location and hearty portions stand out, many patrons found the service lacking, with staff often appearing grumpy and unwelcoming. The counter service model can lead to delays and confusion regarding orders. Although the food and drink quality receive praise, especially the gluten-free and vegan options, the overall atmosphere felt rushed and temporary. For those in search of a friendly seaside experience, exploring alternatives like nearby coffee vans might be worthwhile.

Rude staff and overpriced. Go to the Bakery off the High Street to get a great bacon bap at half the price. £2 for a very small cup of tea on the beach is far t...
