Riverhead Coffee Cleethorpes — Restaurant in England

I had breakfast at Riverhead Coffee in Cleethorpes, and it was such a lovely experience that I felt compelled to write about it. The café has a calm, welcoming atmosphere—perfect for a slow, easy morning.

I ordered cheese croissants, which were warm, flaky, and had just the right amount of melted cheese inside—simple but so satisfying. I also tried what I think were “trastornos” (possibly a buttery pastry?), and they were excellent—crispy on the outside, soft in the middle, and full of rich, buttery flavour. Definitely made with care.

My cappuccino was one of the best I’ve had in a while. It had a deep, smooth coffee flavour and was topped with a generous dusting of chocolate, which gave it a little extra sweetness without overdoing it.

The service was friendly but relaxed—no one rushed, and we felt comfortable just sitting and enjoying the food. It’s clear they take pride in what they do, from the presentation to the quality of ingredients.

I’ll definitely be back—next time I want to try...

My partner suggested this one for a coffee and brunch one mizzly weekend. Plenty of choice on the menu, and loads of options for those of us who eat breakfast but don't enjoy eggs or avocado- a rarity these days, thanks! I deliberated for ages but decided on a pancake stack with fruit compote and Nutella. I got 5 pancakes, some were a little tough around the edges but otherwise nice. The fruit was tasty and there was a dollop of Nutella that'd feed a family for a week. Even as a seasoned chocoholic, I couldn't finish it. My partner had some soup and a vegan sandwich. He loves a good cheese and carrot sandwich but raved about this one, all I remember is that it had beetroot and mint sauce in it but he seemed very impressed, I think the mint sauce topped it off. Ingenious. Coffee was nice and we had a good morning....

Got lost trying to find a care home which we were visiting, decided to go for a coffee and consult Google maps. Pulled up outside the Riverhead and, after having looked at the menu, decided to have lunch as well. The staff obviously enjoy working together, there was a great atmosphere and they were so genuinely friendly. I had a filled bagel and my husband had a sandwich, we were in no rush so decided to stay for another coffee and cake. We sat outside people watching, even though it's right on a busy road, it was really nice. If I ever find myself in Cleethorpes again, I will...
