The Farm Shop and No.8 Café — Local services in Isle of Wight

I had a really tasty pea soup here, full of flavor, with some fresh bread and a perfectly drizzled salad on the side. The vegan almond and marmalade cake was exquisite and there are other vegan cakes too! I washed it all down with some leaf tea.

I think it's the only fully vegetarian establishment on the Isle of Wight.

The cafe is above a fresh produce shop. I stopped here on a bike ride around the island, it's a just several miles from Ryde. It's actually on one of the excellent cycle routes around the island. The interior was really nicely done with modern and rustic features and the staff were very friendly. I will definitely go back when I have a chance.

Stopped in Bembridge to pop into the Co-op and kids fancied a hot chocolate after long day on the beach. We popped in No.8 café.

The café is up some stairs and small but really well set out with about 5 table and some high stools. We had 2 latte's 5/5, spot on, 2 hot chocolates 5/5 looked fab, Biscof cake - 4/5, nice.

My daughter had the sausage roll - massive & meaty, would have been better hot, but still a solid 4/5. Overall a beautiful place with great drinks and cakes. Well worth a visit if you...

I really liked this cafe in Bembridge. It is attached (and above) the farm shop. I was starving for lunch on a cold, wet and windy weekday at the end of November. I climbed the stairs to arrive in a toast warm and welcoming space. There were some delicious-looking cakes on offer but by the time I finished my lunch I didn't have room! The menu changes daily, I believe, and is vegetarian-friendly. I ordered an aubergine and bean casoulet which was hearty, filling and tasty and served with wonderful brown sourdough bread from local bakers. The staff were friendly and service efficient. I would definitely recommend this place to others. Also accessible by public transport - bus stop about...
