Very friendly service and excellent quality of food worthy of another vist when we are back in Weymouth.
This is a fabulous shabby chic cafe. Very dog friendly. The staff are really helpful and chatty. The CHILLI is the BEST you will ever taste! I really enjoyed my veg ragout with spaghetti too, very tasty. Definitely returning whenever I’m in Weymouth. Might even come back just to eat here again ☺️
There are many tea shops in Weymouth to choose from and this is just another one. Nothing particularly stands out about it. The coffee was okay and the cake portions were a little bit small but maybe I was being optimistic. Overall, it's as good as anywhere else along the sea front.
Lovely friendly place to have lunch. Busy but that's a good sign Lovely staff
Popped in for a coffee while in Weymouth for the day.Was greeted with ‘we have stopped serving breakfast’ before we had even said anything. We just wanted a coffee. Was told to take a seat and then order. Staff were very busy and made us feel like we shouldn’t be there. Will not be back!
Lovely location with views of the beach and sea.Staff are very friendly and attentive. We took advantage of the £5 offer for any hot drinks and any dessert. The coffee was lovely as were the scones and red velvet.
Popped in for coffee's and snacks. Friendly staff. Decor needs some attention. Nice menu. Nice food.
the staff were so pretty and nice, the food was DELICIOUS like i cannot get over how amazing the salmon salad was. genuinely considering moving to weymouth just so this can become my regular cafe spot. also they gave us free drinks because the food took a little longer than expected - but only because it was so busy full of satisfied customers!
Thoroughly enjoyed the food and service was good and friendly, however the food took a long time coming
On arrival we were told there was a wait on food as they were so busy. This wasn't a problem and the waiting staff were very friendly and clear about this. We ordered drinks first and were told we had to wait to order food. My partner had a mango smoothie which must have been 99% water as it was very bland and thin. The only clue it had mango in it was the colour. When we eventually got our crab sandwiches, we were presented with minimal amounts of grainy crab between the cheapest white bread you could imagine. Definitely shouldn't have taken over 50 minutes to prepare (after waiting 15 minutes to even put the order through). It's not difficult to make a good sandwich and at £13 I would have expected at least some good quality bread. Toilet facilities also weren't great and the table and menu were both sticky.
Lovely fresh home cooked food served with a smile and right near the wonderful seafront. My son's chicken nuggets in particular; were fresh chicken breast in a homemade breadcrumb and we're lovely. Very inexpensive considering the location too. Highly recommend 👌
Just arrived back from a overnight stay in a one bedroom apartment above the Good life cafe very spacious and views are amazing from the apartment. With welcoming hosts ( Karl & Alex )It's in a great position to local shops etc.... would definitely go back for longer x .... ps... the chocolate cake was delicious x
The worst prawn sandwich I have ever encountered!! And the crab sandwich ok but not fresh and both served in cheep slices of ready sliced bread!! Chips not even worth talking about! Nearly £13 a sandwich!!
Delicious cream tea best I've had even from Cornwall at Padstow sorry not picture I ate it before I realised 😂
Our waiting time’s for food is longer than normal. Breakfast was covered in black pepper. How ever the cafe did rectify by doing the Full English again, it is not stated on menus. They don’t do semi-skimmed milk only skimmed or full fat. However I am lactose tolerant so I can have skimmed but prefer Semi-Skimmed I personally wouldn’t return to this restaurant again. It might be worth a visit to other people. Just keep in mind to ask without seasoning on food. Price wise the portion was just right not too expensive.
Excellent food. Good value and right on the front with amazing view. Bit of a wait but worth it - all freshly prepared.
Fried eggs with egg whites slightly set, ketchup and mayonnaise cooked on the window in the sun, tea served 1 hour before breakfast - cold with breakfast, black pudding burnt, pieces served after drawing attention, an embarrassment, I definitely do not recommend this bistro
Such an excellent place. The location, food, service and menu are all excellent. Highly recommended.
Newly re-opened this spring, had a lovely Sunday roast, friendly service and nice view over the beach. Would recommend.
Had a wonderful dinner at the Good Life cafe bistro. Carl and his son Chris are superb chefs what a find this gem of a place is!
Didn't even bother to order anything. Popped in to get a quick bite. We're not greeted or even acknowledged by the staff. Zero atmosphere. After waiting a while we decided not to bother.
Recently reopened after new management took over, we popped in for lunch. The food was not great, the salad had no dressing and was very dry, the sandwiches were basic and the panini was not grilled or warm. The chips were nice though, as was the apple juice. It was served reasonably quickly, we would have been happy to wait a little longer for higher quality food though.The real issue is that being a cash only business (which was prominently sign posted at the front of the shop), we worked out that we had enough money to pay for what we ordered. When we received our bill however, a £3.40 gratuity had been added to it, meaning we needed to use an ATM to pay. There is no mention of this on the menus anywhere. When I raised this (after we had paid) the server was apologetic, saying that the menus should be replaced. But she also told me that the gratuity can be taken off. This is the wrong attitude, it should not be added. A gratuity is optional, based on the quality of the food and service. The customer decides what, if any, tip should be given. To add it on and then only reply that it can be taken off ONCE it is questioned is just not on.We will not be returning, at least for a good while. Maybe in a few months these points will have been addressed, otherwise two regular customers have moved on to greener pastures.
Visited this cafe two years ago and had a bad experience that I still remember. Just because we had three people and only ordered two drinks we got pressured by the staff.Edit: I wrote this review retrospectively when visiting another cafe that’s near seashore when I was travelling, where I got treated with respect as customers. And it just made me think that customer service could be good even at a sought after location. Being at a popular location doesn’t justify bad services.
What a wonderful cafe. We had the fabulous vegan breakfast. The food was delicious, service was superb and the atmosphere is lovely too, all with a great view of Weymouth. Thank you, we will be back.
Lovely lunch today at the good life cafe. All day breakfast for the hubby, plenty of it and v tasty. I had scrambled egg on granary toast. Lovely bread and plenty of egg and cooked just how I like it. All staff v welcoming whenever we pop in 👍🏻. Highly recommend a pit stop here 😊😋
The cafe is so cozy makes you feel at home, away from home. Service is so fast and the crew are friendly, welcoming each guest very warmly. The food is of top quality and surely made fresh. Overlooking the beach while having breakfast is the most serene breakfast one could ever have.
Great place; burger was one of the best I've had. Great service and they even did a surprise slice of cake for my grandsons birthday.
We've been visiting this place for years in it's previous incarnations (but not since Covid) and the new owners have definitely done this place proud. Very friendly and quick service, delicious coffee and food, gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options available, including milk alternatives and it's dog friendly. Parking is on street nearby & it has good views across to the beach. It should definitely be on your list to try!
The Good Life Cafe looks out onto Weymouth beach and is a prime position for a snack. It has wooden floors and panelling and has something of a past times charm.My wife had tea and a second, and I had a fish finger sandwich and coffee. The fish finger sandwich was very good.We both enjoyed our meals.
