Southsea Beach Cafe - Portsmouth

Visited for a coffee and cake and it was not disappointed. we sat outside in the snack area to look at the beach. large coffee, beautiful cake (highly recommended carrot cake) and very nice outsight! reasonable price and staff very friendly. would return and recommend in any case.

The staff here are so lovely! and the ambience is equally as welcoming and warm as their smiles we have been here in both the summer winter now and it is perfectly breezy in the summer and cosy in the winter (they even have some gorgeous roaring indoor fireplaces and heaters). The food is great and I would recommend legitimately all their honeycomb based hot drinks!! Do be aware there are normally quite a few pups in here so there may be some barking background noise if that is a concern for you (i think it is pretty cute tbh) but really all you can hear is the sea and the nice background chatter of other happy customers

Really nice coffee and they had oat milk. Stunning outdoor seating area on the beach. Best way to start the morning

Definitely a beach hot spot. We popped at noon with the place still packed with breakfast crown. Very busy with families and plenty of children. It is dog friendly and few dogs indeed were enjoying the food dropped by children. Great friendly staff playing with babies and dogs while buzzing around. Needless to say, the best part is the sea views (today was grey but still great to sit next to window). Good was good (coffee, cakes, salad). You definitely pay a premium for the location but judging by the packed place at a cold winter day, it is justified.

Couldn't ask for better views from an eatery. Only had a breakfast bap which was put together very nicely. They cook to taste so be sure to let them know how crispy/well done you want your food. They were so busy we couldn't eat inside so get there early or book ahead. They could do with a better system for takeaways. The server didn't take any names so it was a free for all when the food was called out. Overall it was nice and I'd go again. Especially on a day with a nice view.
