Reviews Summary

Harbour Views Cafe is praised for its stunning harbour vistas and friendly, accommodating staff. Diners particularly enjoy the fresh food options, including delicious gluten-free choices. While the soft play area is noted as being small, the overall experience is positive, with many expressing a desire to return.

"Despite this place being right on the quay and having a massive sign, I don't feel like many people know it's there. Shame because it's a great cafe. Spotlessly clean with really lovely staff. Good range of fresh cooked breakfasts and sandwiches. Some of the best views on the Quay. Perfect place to relax and watch the harbour."

"Popped in for a coffee on 4th August, and as a coeliac, I was hoping to pick up maybe a bag of crisps for a snack but was surprised to see they offered gluten free bread for sandwiches (at a small extra 80p, reasonable compared to other places). The ladies were lovely about my dietary needs and produced a delicious, full packed bacon, cranberry, and brie club style sandwich. The lady said the sandwiches are normally made with 2 slices of bread but gave an extra layer as the gf bread slices are always so small. It was sooo good, I'd have taken another if I hadn't been so full 😃 thank you"

"Disappointing soft play, very small. TV on - why? Should be no more than £3, 50p for additional adults to reflect what is offered. Nice and friendly staff. Arcade is good."
