Fantastic food, cooked and presented to a high standard. The choice of food is amazing snacks to full restaurant dinning. The food served here is better than sea front restaurants here on Sandown seafront, and less expensive too. Get a window table and enjoy the fantastic views too

Popped by for a Hot Drink & Snack after walking the dog on the beach. Very friendly staff, very welcoming and nice hot drinks which were reasonably priced for the size of the mugs. We definitely recommend visiting.

Love this place. Good quality food, cooked fresh to order and at a very reasonable price. I can highly recommend the mega boardwalk breakfast. All the breakfast essentials with a slice of toast and a tea or coffee for under a tenner. It's on my list of places to go to on every visit to the island.

Went to The Boardwalk Cafe for all day breakfast with the family Excellent value. There are not many places on the Isle of Wight where you can order an All day breakfast, yet alone for only 10 and it comes with a choice of hot drinks. Well worth the value. Great views out to sea and towards Shanklin. We usually go to this Cafe then walk our breakfast off by walking along the Coastal path to Shankkin to play golf along the seafront.

This place is a hidden gem in the Isle of Wight! The fish and chip was exceptional. The food was tasty, the service was quick and efficient and the staff is friendly. This is by far the best fish and chip that I had in the UK! For my muslim friends, the batter that they use does not contain any beer/alcohol.
