A great cafe/restaurant with great food. Children welcomed with crayons and colour-in menu to keep them amused whilst waiting.
If we exclude the 2 children, the meal was about £30 per head, but we did have the catch of the day and the wonderful squid starters
East Beach Cafe: A Delightful Seaside Escape
East Beach Cafe is a hidden gem in Littlehampton. With its stunning location on the beach and its delicious food, it's the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
The ciders are a real highlight. The Silly Moo is a sweet and fruity cider made with a blend of traditional cider apples, while the Wobblegate Sussex Cider is a more complex cider with hints of spice and tannin. Both ciders are served to perfection in chilled glasses.
The service is also impeccable, with friendly and welcoming staff.
If you're looking for a beautiful, relaxing, and delicious dining experience, East Beach Cafe is the place for you.
Architecture by Thomas Heatherwick which is very interesting on the outside and feels like a snow cave on the inside.
Great views of the beach, simple and nice seating arrangement.
The staff couldn't do enough for you and the food was excellent.
We went there for the design which is great. It is still a cafe inside but the food elevates it way above that. Really nicely done honest dishes. A great hake on new spuds and pureed spuds and turnips I think followed by chocolate marquise (soft, chocolatey and not too sweet) with a nice nut and biscuit accompaniment. Both very tasty. Traditional dishes available too. Plenty of friendly staff and a nice view of the sea. Would recommend, you probably have to book.
Went for brunch 5 adults, 2 children.
Service good, friendly staff, we sat outside as beautiful day.
We had tempura squid and cheese chips, the squid just melted in mouth so tender. For a beach cafe it was superb. 👌
Well worth the money and a visit.
Lovely location looking out over the beach and seeing the boats sailing was gorgeous. The cafe itself has a great design feeling like you are in a clean cave with the white esthetic. The staff are lovely and all the food looked great, I did have a sausage, bacon and egg roll as a quick bite and it was great. The sausages are Herby and flavorsome, bacon crispy (just how I like it) and a runny egg in a soft white roll. Happy to go there again, they also offer full meals at the appropriate times and some events like quiz's etc.
If you are walking by stop in for a coffee and soak up the views at the very least.
I was there as a party of twenty plus. The weather was horrendous but once inside it was a unique experience shared with friends. The staff were great, the food excellent and the atmosphere was created by us all enjoying ourselves. Well done East Beach Cafe.
One of our favorite place for relax and nice food. Have a walk by sea after lunch or even go buy some seafood nearby, have a relax afternoon with your loved ones.
What an absolute pleasure to have some brunch here after the Littlehampton prom Parkrun. The building, exterior and interior, is a modern architecture beauty. Artistic. The staff were extremely friendly and super efficient. English breakfast and locally brewed lager was delicious. The view over the sea and blue sky was wonderful. A gem.
Have passed this place some years ago and was aware of its reputation so visited today. Was not disappointed! Delicious food (especially the fish, pea puree and tartare sauce sandwich), great service and lovely ambience. Will definitely return to try the rest of the menu.
First tried east beach cafe pre-covid and liked so was pleased to try again last week. Waitresses so very friendly, Jess was great!, food well above average, service swift nothing too much trouble. What's not to like?! Welcomed lone diner which was welcoming !!! Not cheap but so worth it.
Have just returned so looking like my local go-to now.!!
Genuinely one of the best meals I have ever eaten. Three courses of shear food heaven, tailed ended with great drink choices and brilliant customer service.
I love food that makes me happy, and my meal literally made me happy food dance.
If you want to happy dance with your meal, all while looking out at a beautiful view, this is the place to go.
Great place to relax, enjoy very good food & take in the views out to sea. Beautifully presented food & extremely tasty. Quite a limited lunch menu but does have Specials board. Friendly staff.

I'm not sure I can give a better more honest piece of feedback than by saying we take our holiday in Littlehampton BECAUSE of East Beach Cafe. It's likely our favourite restaurant in the country. They have recently brought in a new chef, who is not only skilled, but incredibly passionate about his job, pretty much guaranteeing you'll never be disappointed with the food. The location is perfect, with a lovely view of the coast right on the beach. But the best quality is without a doubt the customer service. EBC found out that me and my partner were celebrating our 5 year anniversary, and pulled out every stop possible to make our evening perfect, and one we'll remember forever. They're friendly, hard-working, thoughtful and genuinely passionate about their job and their customers. The only downside is they had to close for the night eventually. We will be back in Littlehampton soon, and the first thing we will do is book in for dinner at EBC. Keep being awesome.
P.S. Please bring back the espresso creme Brule! I still dream about it from time-to-time..
The food not quite as good as our previous visit and it is expensive £37 for two burger and chips ! which was nice enough. Service was good with very pleasant staff ,the location and architecture is fabulous .
Dined in. The fish and chips were great. Lovely views onto the esplanade but can get a bit noisy when busy. Service was good and staff attentive.
