Fins Beach Cafe

Brilliant. Food, service, location - all just perfect. Had breakfast one day and then came back for lunch another day and was not disappointed. Made our holiday. Genuinely can’t praise enough. I rarely leave a review but this place was so good I had to. Thanks

Hmmmm!! Yum yum. Super little beach side café with a range of breakfasts, brunches and lunches. We had full English breakfasts and veggie options followed by some biscoff loaded American pancakes. All great and good service. We were told there was going to be a wait, and there was, but well worth it. Dogs welcome.

Such a tasty breakfast / brunch! Everything we ordered was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Cozy atmosphere, nice view of the sea and great service.

Consistently Excellent Food and a Local Favourite for Good Reason. We visited Fins Café in Sandown on two consecutive days after a recommendation from a local who called it their favourite place to eat on the island. They weren’t wrong. On our first visit, we had breakfast — generous portions, well-prepared, and clearly made with quality ingredients. Everything was fresh, well-balanced, and satisfying. The drinks menu was also a standout: thoughtful and varied, and everything we tried was genuinely delicious. We returned the next day for lunch and had the smash burgers with fries and coleslaw. It's easily one of the best burgers I’ve had, not just on the island, but anywhere. Cooked perfectly, well seasoned, and everything on the plate worked. I’d happily put it up against any of the better known burger spots in London. The atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming, and serious about its food. Highly recommended whether you're visiting Sandown or just passing through.

Great menu, took me forever to choose what I wanted and even came back a second day so I could try something different. My son had the biscoff pancakes (which we tried and they were stunning!) I had the pesto and mushroom on sourdough one day 10/10 👌 and then I had the vegetarian breakfast the next day, this kept me full the entire day. My husband had the loaded hash browns with added bacon. The bacon looked really good. We were all very happy definitely recommend a visit.

Eaten at Fins twice now and it's fabulous. Breakfasts as hearty or healthy as you like and a tasty lunch menu. Friendly staff, fantastic location , what's not to love?

We visited Fins Beach Café on a rainy day, after planning to come since the night before – and it was so worth it. The place was full of locals (always a great sign!), families with kids, and even some adorable dogs. Cozy atmosphere, delicious coffee, and beautifully prepared food — the avocado toast with poached eggs was perfect. Friendly service, stylish interior, and stunning sea views make this café truly special.
