Harbour View Cafe & Chip Shop — Restaurant in East Devon

This place reminds me of a truck stop cafe only on the seafront. Only the view is good. I normally go to wetherspoons for breakfast but thought we would try something different. It needs a bit of TLC inside as it looks tired. Water damage to the ceiling and some rips to the seats. It's self-service , you place your oder at the till then they call your number and you go and collect it. It's reasonably priced, so I can't complain about that. We had 2 breakfasts, which cost just under £16. Or you can build your own, which is good. Breakfast is all day, and they do burgers, fish and chips, salads and sandwiches, etc. If I'm honest, I've had better breakfasts. The toast was very thin, but it was nice with proper butter, hashbrown was nice, and eggs cooked to perfection. I wasn't a fan of the beans, and the bacon was a little too salty, so that made me thirsty more. But I guess it's all personal preference. It's definitely a holiday seaside cafe. But don't knock it till you tried it as sometimes places like these can be...

A true treasure that is hidden in plain sight .

There is not much advertising for the cafe apart from a small sign above the door, that says, "Self Service Cafe".

They have views of the beach and outdoors seating that is just beach side. There is accessible access along the right side of the building.

The food is very reasonably priced and it was served hot and delicious.

They have what looked like a fantastic breakfast, or you can build your own breakfast from a selection of items.

No it is not swanky like the new cafes and restaurants further down the shoreside, but having dined at both of them this definitely is the place that I would go to again.

The food was better tasting, better value and served with essentially the same view.

I loved the cedar panels and the character of a cafeteria from days gone by.

Location is under the trees across from the new nature deprived entertainment venue .

These are the only three trees I can see along the promenade.

Shame new development is cutting...

I have come here many times in the past few years and for the first time was sadly dissapointed today as the server put items on my make your own breakfast order like two tomatoes that i did not order and when i got the food it made me realise why the meal cost at £12.50 was so much more expensive than exactly the same meal i have had here many times before this has never happened all the previous times i have eaten here and to save the hassle i decided not to take it up with them in addition the portions and the food sizes have shrunk to about half the size of what they were previously and the sausages and eggs the portion of baked beans and the two tomatoes that i never even ordered were ridiculously small about half their previous size and all i can say is i will give this place another chance in a couple of weeks and if this poor service and ridiculouly small portion and food sizes occur again i will sadly move my...
