Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Diners rave about the generous portion sizes, particularly the fish and chips, which are crispy, hot, and a local favorite. The cafe's coffee and tea selection receives glowing reviews, making it a great spot for a caffeine fix or a relaxing afternoon tea. Customers enjoy the laid-back setting where it is easy to work on a laptop or have casual conversations.
The outdoor seating area presents an ideal vantage point for watching the beach action, while the casual yet trendy atmosphere creates a welcoming environment. Many visitors appreciate the friendly service, often highlighting the staff’s attentiveness and willingness to cater to specific needs, especially for families and children.
Most Disliked
While The View enjoys a positive reputation, some diners mention the silver chairs, expressing discomfort after extended periods of sitting. Although the cafe's prime location attracts a lively crowd, busy peak hours can lead to longer wait times, especially during lunch. On occasion, some guests also find the presence of seagulls overwhelming, as the birds frequently swoop in for a chance at food.
While many enjoy the casual ambiance, a few patrons feel that the noise level can rise significantly during peak hours, impacting the dining experience. Overall, these minor points do not deter the majority from returning, especially for the delicious food and scenic views.

A nice little place by the sea. It has a huge shell over the top. There is a similar one just up the beach a way. We only ordered coffees and a hot dog. The service was friendly enough, and quick enough. I’m never a fan of those silver chairs because they cut you in the back. Overall, a good place.

Seagulls are threatening but can't be helped, we come here every time we visit Bournemouth, we love it. My hubby had a lovely sausage and onion baguette which he is still raving about. I had a bacon bap and pimms. I must say the pimms is the best I've ever had! We will bypass Bournemouth in future and stay in Weymouth just so we can come here more often.

Had a stop here on a visit to Weymouth. Have to say the food was lovely - better than some of the more expensive places I've been to recently. Fantastic views of the beach, as well. Good honest food, reasonably priced. Give it a go!
