Most Disliked
Some patrons have expressed a desire for more menu variety, noting that while the choices are solid, they could use a few more adventurous options. A few diners mentioned their disappointment with the roast dinner, wishing for mashed potatoes instead of boiled ones, highlighting that personal preferences can vary. A common concern revolves around peak times, especially during Sundays where capacity reaches 100%, causing potential waits that can try your patience. Additionally, a couple of guests have remarked on the facility's microwave use for some dishes, indicating a preference for fresh meals but acknowledging that the cafe excels in many areas regardless.

If you want a PROPER tasty breakfast then please get down to Bay view. I genuinely can’t explain how good the food was and as a Londoner I’m custom to a decent breakfast and this was top class. The staff were friendly and very attentive, and to top it off we had a window view of the lovely burnham sea front. If you can you must try

We've been here a good few times now, the staff are very friendly and always happy to see us. It has a lovely sheltered outdoor seating area which our dog loves. They always have doggie treats available and of you order sausages for the dog, they turn up pre sliced for you too!

Cracking little ice cream parlour plus cafe on the beach side of the road. Indoor and outdoor seating. Nice chips and tea, served by a hard-working bunch of pleasant young lads.

Epic grub!! Made a mean curry and rice, everyone else loved their food. Great Sunday Roast and good quality burgers. I also grabbed a crumble and custard for dessert which was immense! Has a sweet view over the bay and staff are all very friendly and helpful! Recommended!!

After a vigorous walk along the seafront there is nothing better than dropping into the Bay View Cafe for tea, coffee, cake or a meal. Great value for money and always good for lite bites or a full meal.
