Beaches Cafe — Restaurant in Tendring

Popped in for coffee and ice-cream. The coffee was decent from a fresh bean machine and the ice-cream selection was good, although the soft serve machine was broken in the corner. Shame, I like a 99 with flake. It's a standard beach side cafe with all the usual toys, shoes and bits you might also need on a day out. Because the place is only accessible by small side doors, you can't see all the stuff they sell.

The women serving were friendly, helpful and patient, it's a nice place in a great location. Not sure why it was so dark and cramped inside. Different groups of customers were shuffling round each other past empty fenced off tables. All the windows seemed to be blanked out, or maybe it was the five different size inflatables blocking out the light.

Would love to see it opened up with better views of the beach and some nice seating. At present it seems to be setup for...

Last time I was here the older man working in the kitchen area was extremely & unnecessarily rude to me about using a cup to put ketchup in for my daughter. He snatched it from my hand & was very snappy... Very upsetting & out of line 😡

Second time we visited the same man served us ice cream & thought I should read his mind that the flake is put INSIDE the cone as opposed to on it like most cafes do. He looks at customers like they're dirt & has a serious chip on his shoulder.

Such a shame when the beach there...

Lovely little café that does a variety of hot meals, cooked to order. Friendly owners who serve you. I had a jacket potato with beans & sausage, with a garnish of salad and a cup of tea for £9. Lovely meal and nice atmosphere. It’s dog friendly too. They also sell cold drinks, ice cream, snacks and have a range of typical beach stuff like fridge magnets, bucket & spades, sandals etc. Tables inside and on the veranda that overlooks the sandy beach. A really nice place and well...
