Veiw Point Cafe
East Coast
Felixstowe

View Point Cafe is a warm and friendly cafe with indoor and outdoor seating serving all day breakfasts, snacks, fish & chips, hot drinks and more

Situated on the Landguard Peninsular, adjacent to the Port of Felixstowe, on the Orwell estuary, the View Point Cafe absolutely lives up to its name. Serving all day breakfasts, fabulous fish and chips, snacks, butties, meals and either a hot dish or quiche and salad of the day - depending on the season. They offer delicious cakes, pastries, ice creams and beverages to eat in or take away. The food is cooked to order in the open plan kitchen and locally sourced where possible. Try the Fisherman's Breakfast or go full out with the Handballer's Brunch (handballing being one of the most physical jobs at the port). Open from 9am every day of the year except Christmas Day, there is plenty of seating inside with amazing views over the water. In addition there is a large terrace (pooches welcome) where you can also hear and feel the massive ships passing. On busier days, the takeaway Kiosk (you can't miss it!) is open, serving a selection of hot and cold drinks, ice creams and snacks. There can't be many locations worldwide where you can get such a close up view of the world's largest vessels manoeuvring in and out of port, assisted by the small but mighty tug boats, before watching them be unloaded by the giant quayside cranes. The sight of the tiny yachts and foot ferry crossing the harbour in the wake of these monsters is awesome.
