Beach-front breakfast

A very popular beach-front cafe at a really nice, relaxing location. We went on a Saturday morning for breakfast and had to queue for a while for a table. The food was really tasty and looked impressive. They offered a vegan full English breakfast which my partner enjoyed, and a selection of smoothie bowls. I had the summer strawberry matcha bowl, which had lots of fresh fruit and lovely granola. Their iced matchas were delicious too! Would recommend if you are happy to wait.

Amazing Vegan Options

Had the freshest most delicious acai bowl. My husband had a veg breakfast burrito. He said it was some of the best coffee he'd had on the Island.

Great spot

Great spot - really nice place to sit, and the food options were brilliant. We found it difficult to find places around here that offered good fresh food, but this one definitely hit the mark!

Really wished the pancakes were vegan as they looked so good!

It was a long wait for a table on the weekend but totally worth it.
The view is amazing and the food is incredible.
The smoothy bowl was divine. 🤍

Pros: Delicious food, Great coffee, Lovely setting

Cons: No toilet at cafe

Great vibe with good vegan options

We shared a soul bowl with falafel one lunchtime with a cocktail and beer. Loved it so much we came back the next morning for a mermaid bowl each for breakfast. Breakfast has an array of vegan bowls (including a favourite - Açai bowls)

Pros: Open by the sea, Great food, Lovely staff

Delicious smoothie bowls

The smoothie bowls here are incredible!!!!
Super thick and creamy (not watered down at all), natural sweetened with quality fruit/ingredients, beautifully presented in coconut bowls! Seriously some of the best smoothie bowls I’ve tried in ages.

Pros: Presentation , Quality ingredients

Tasty but pricey

Vegan burger and vegan sandwich option, and we couldn't find anywhere else in Sandown with even one vegan option when we went. Got the burger which is panko coated mushroom burger with a sticky glaze with fries. Super tasty. Had quite a long wait for food and seating is outdoors. Pricey, but tasty for sure!

Pros: Good and clearly labelled vegan options

Cons: Expensive

I had the vegan cooked breakfast which was delicious. I also had a nutty professor smoothie which was lush! I saw next to me how amazing the vegan smoothie bowls looked. Great view of the sea whilst eating!

Pros: Smoothie bowls and cooked breakfast , Sea views, outside seating , Lovely staff

Cons: Little expensive, but it is next to the sea.
