If you’re walking along Lyme Regis’s Marine Parade, there’s a spot you’ll want to slow down for.
Right on the seafront, tucked beneath the promenade, is Kiosk, a little café with a big reputation.
Locals call it an absolute gem, and after one visit you’ll see why.
The setting couldn’t be better. With panoramic views across Lyme Bay, you can sip your morning coffee while watching the waves roll in.
Deckchairs are laid out on the beach and, on a calm day, it feels like the best seat in town.
There’s nothing better than wrapping your hands around a steaming cup of their Honduran fairtrade organic coffee.
Whether you’re here to kickstart the day or to warm up after a brisk coastal walk, it always hits the spot.
Breakfast is a big draw here. Think freshly made bagels stacked with fillings, granola pots, and warm toasties that melt in your mouth.
One of the favourites is halloumi with avocado bagel, delicious.
Those toasties, bacon, brie & cranberry or ham and mozzarella, are proper, gooey seaside comfort.
By lunchtime the menu shifts to sandwiches and lunch toasties.
Their Lyme Bay crab sandwich is local legend material, packed with sweet crab meat and served with a wedge of lemon.
Of course, no café by the sea is complete without cakes.
The counter is always filled with sweet treats, brownies, slices of carrot cake with cream cheese topping, or nutty orange and pecan cake.
Seagulls seem to love Kiosk as much as we do, which is why those bright umbrellas come in handy.
They’re not just for shade, they’re also the best line of defence when the birds get a little too interested in your sandwich.
There’s a relaxed, friendly vibe here. People linger over coffee, families perch at the picnic tables, and dogs get their own treats too.
Whether you’re catching up with friends, enjoying some me time, or grabbing a quick bite before heading back to the beach, it always feels welcoming.
No one can get tired of that view.
