We were disappointed to find it sold and a new cafe in its place. This is the second coastal bite to close. The first in the Ridgeway. Sadly they seem not to last long.

What a lovely little place and with glorious views. Decor good and service friendly and attentive. Lots of yummy things on the menu and caters for vegan, gluten and diary free, impressive! We all had a breakfast and wasn’t disappointed, everything was cooked well and delicious and came out looking amazing. We all cleared our plates and couldn’t find a fault.

We were in Southend for my friends hen do for the weekend. We decided to pop in for breakfast on the Sunday morning before leaving to go home. We were a group of 4. All the staff were polite and helpful. The food came (a few things were missing but they rectified without fuss) the breakfast was absolutely amazing! In fact I’d actually say it’s the best breakfast I’ve had. Everything on my plate was to die for. All 4 of us cleaned our plates. We came last July and we still talk about the breakfast now! I’ll be back very soon for round two.

Always well cooked and plenty of it. This is our preferred breakfast venue. Not only is the food good, but the little restaurant is well decorated for under the arches on the seafront.

This place was amazing but has unfortunately shut down due to owners moving away, which many aren't aware of and think that this place is just always closed.But the good news is that the chef is now apparently working at a cafe on the beach in Chalkwell, so if you loved the food here, you'll love it there too!

We walked about two miles to get here and weren’t disappointed. The cafe is nicely decorated and welcoming, and has great views of the sea. It has outside and indoor seating options. The waitress was extremely kind and attentive, especially as I wasn’t feeling too well. We both ordered the full English breakfast and the waitress was happy to accommodate our preferences e.g. no beans but extra mushrooms, can we swap this for that, etc. The breakfast was perfectly cooked using great quality ingredients and accompanied with lovely bakery bread.Highly recommended!

This was our second visit at Coastal Bite, but our first review. Always apprehensive when you go back to somewhere for the second time as to whether it will live up to our expectations. Can only say, yet again a great breakfast. My wife and I had the half breakfast, rather than the 'full' as the portions are very generous - you have to be really hungry to go for the 'full'. The bubble and squeak is excellent, better on the second visit, not so creamy but with a light crisp! Service was very good and the lady who served was friendly. With the fabulous weather we have had this year, it was fantastic sitting outside in the sun, looking at the glistening water, we could have been anywhere. Definitely worth visiting for a great start to the day. Congratulations to the team at Coastal Bite. Only reason for 4 stars - it leaves room for 'perfection'.

The Coastal Bite really is an English food restaurant - we were there for coffee only, it is possible but the smell is thick and fat of the huge full English breakfasts around you. For settling the bill only cash could be accepted, which is a bit unhandy for the continental traveller who is short on real money. The coffee was good, real Lavazza.

Popped up to the Arches this morning for a touch of food fuel. Visited Coastal Bite, lovely service from a super smiley young lady. Food was excellent, usual staple fare for mornings, Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, great bubble and squeak, mushrooms, beans and toms with a hunk of toast and all washed down with a lovely cup of splosh (Tea). Price wise, standard for the area, it was a glorious day and we had super views of the estuary...special request for next time we visit, could you bring in the tide a bit please...all in all excellent

We visited for a midweek lunch, and were seated in a table facing the sea (albeit with a road in between). The menu is simple - breakfasts, fish/seafood and burgers mainly. I had the grilled swordfish steak, which was excellent- beautiful, fresh and high quality fish - carefully cooked, and served with homemade coleslaw and chips, together with salad. My wife had the blackened cod, which was equally good. Service was efficient and friendly. I really couldn’t fault the place - highly recommended. Not sure, however, whether they serve alcohol, so worth checking if you want some booze!

My husband and I had alunch in this great little restaurant today - baked skate wing & chips. The fish was absolutely first class - very fresh and perfectly cooked. What a delight to find great fish not covered in batter. Lovely girls serving who, although very young, did a great job and were attentive, polite and friendly. Huge thanks to the owner who helped us out when we didn't have cash - I won't say anymore as I don't want to set a precedent but hopefully if she's reading this she will know what I mean - Karma! Highly recommended and in a row of much competition I would most definitely chose this one again. Well done

As we turned away the chef called from the kitchen to let us in and we were so glad he did. Cosy quirky little place ideal for a stop off. My husband had the ham, egg and chips and I opted for the cod and chips. Both were fresh, delicious and huge portions and just what we needed before walking back to Leigh.

Chips that was really tasty the bread was stale so I couldn’t eat it the service was slow and it seemed there was a more experienced lady serving who was attentive but the two young women did not really have any get up and go and were extremely slow over orders all in all I spent £33 and have had far better along that’s stretch so I won’t be returning to coastal bites so easy to get things right and easier to get it wrong

My wife and I visited Coastal Bite on a rare trip to Southend. We have eaten at restaurants in the arches before but never noticed this one. We probably would not have tried it except that we noticed the 'rave' reviews on Tripadvisor before we set off. We were not disappointed. The decor is a little quirky but the service was very friendly and the restaurant was comfortable and warm despite the chilly winds outside. I ordered the smoked haddock with two poached eggs, bubble and squeak (seemingly the house speciality!) with vine tomatoes and mushrooms. The haddock was cooked to perfection, as were the eggs. James, the owner and chef, apologised throught the serving hatch that the haddock was thicker than usual and was taking longer to cook than the eggs. He offered to cook some fresh eggs if they were not satisfactory but they were fine, as was the rest of my meal and my wife's ham, eggs and chips. Our waitress could not have been more helpful and we had a really nice lunch. We would definitely recommend Coastal Bite and will certainly be going back before too long.

They also had 2 daily specials which both sounded really good.

We were four and a table inside was found with some juggling of bookings and timings. The food was just what we needed - and the cook insisted on giving extra eggs for one plate where he worried that the first serving was overdone (not at all but we accepted the extra anyway). Th service was first class throughout - friendly and efficient. The food was excellent and we will definItely go back when we are in the area again

The food was exceptional using the best quality produce all perfectly cooked, well presented and served with a smile. Even though it was so busy, we were not rushed, in fact the whole service ran smoothly and we left feeling full of food and Xmas cheer.

I have been half a dozen times to Coastal Bite. There is always a friendly reception and prompt service. The food - is very well cooked, hot and nicely presented. Yesterday I had the smoked haddock with poached eggs - good portion size, very tasty and worth every penny. They service decent coffee too - Lavazza.A special mention about Leila - a cheerful, smart and efficient waitress. In sum a lot going right in Coastal Bite. Now you will all want to go and I will not be able to get a seat!

Went here for brekky a while back and it was delicious. My husband had the full English and I had salmon on toast. Very tasty and good quality food. Little bit pricey but you seem to get what you pay for.

We were wandering along the seafront and dithering about where to eat when a passer by recommended Coastal Bite and the rest - as they say - is history. The ambience was great; the service friendly and attentive; and the food fantastic. A little gem - we will be going again.

Found the venue from Tripadvisor. The venue was on the riverfront and was very well decorated! Looked very quaint and the staff were so cheerful and friendly. The venue doesn’t have a toilet so you have to use the public toilets at the end of the row of shops- not ideal but the food made up for it.About £10 a breakfast but £2 for a cup of tea was a little bit steep!!! Exactly what we needed but couldn’t afford it every week!

This is a gem! All food is freshly prepared and the staff are so friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. In spite of being by the sea on a cold day it was quite toasty inside and very welcoming. The picture is an exact replica of the brunch that I ordered. There is a choice between two sizes of portion. So if you have a huge appetite of a smaller one this is the place for you and your pocket. My friend and I had such a lovely reunion. Keep up the good work, you were pretty busy for a winter Wednesday. They are opening for bookings on Christmas Day - what a delightful idea.

We've been a couple of times now and both times the food and service has been excellent. Certainly worthy of the number 1 ranking it has in Southend. I had the blackened cod which was cooked to perfection. Would really recommend.
