Cafe Needles Eye: Reviews & Ratings
Unexpected find on a cold, rainy day! Parked and walked along coast and into here. Nicely 'posh' tasty food, lovely staff and great atmosphere. Sauna (for wild swimming?!) and toilet, great view of the bay, fab
Amazing Meal and drinks today at Cafe Needles. We had the most amazing time at this beachside gem! The views were absolutely stunning. The cocktails were perfectly crafted (highly recommend the Strawberry mojito!), and the food hit all the right notes — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The kids had a great time playing on the beach just steps away while we relaxed and enjoyed our drinks. It’s the perfect spot for a laid-back afternoon or sunset dinner with the family. It felt like we were abroad. Amazing!! We’ll definitely be back!!! Thank you
Popped in for the first time today with partner. We just had a pint but all the food coming out looked great. Will be definitely returning soon for drinks and meal. Great location look over the beach. 100% recommend.
Went for breakfast with my 2 sons & brother. Food was amazing and coffee was one of the nicest ones I've had! Very easily found an outdoor seat but it was a bit of an iffy weather day. Lovely view and a lovely walk up the promenade to get there. There's a park nearby too for if you've got kids
We have absolutely loved this place during our stay! Wish we were locals to come more often! The food was so good we returned two nights in a row...may even return for breakfast tomorrow if we're lucky! Would highly recommend to anyone, delicious food, the staff were all super friendly and accommodating and the views are fantastic. Such a lovely place to stop for a quick drink too...can recommend the mojitos! And the cocktails were great for the kids! Super reasonably priced too, cannot fault any of it.
Visited this morning, the staff are really friendly, food was perfect and the views are amazing. Will definitely be back!!
A fantastic place. We had driven up from the Midlands and walked down here from our accommodation. Enjoyed cider and ice cream to pep us up before exploring. Returned later that evening for a delicious dinner. Full of lovely people and attentive service. Looking forward to trying out the sauna later on in our stay. Wonderful atmosphere and the food was heavenly.
Great atmosphere and service!! We came here just as a last resort because we had been for a beach walk and were starving, we expected nothing much but was absolutely blown away by the delicious food. The servers were amazing and catered great! We asked for customised on the food (e.g no onions or chillies) and we had that happen with no hassle whatsoever!
