It is not a very big place, just one room with a few tables and 3 small tables outside on a small walkway. The centerpiece is the big counter where you can see all the great cakes and breads they make here. Apart from tea and cake you can also have several savoury lunch options. We went to this place twice during our stay on the Isle of Man and both times we had delicous tea with a gorgeous piece of cake. Everything here is homemade and you can taste it. The staff is really friendly and does everything to make you feel right at home and even has time for a little chat about the place and the food they prepare here. I can really recommend this little tea room for lunch or a very relaxed afternoon tea after you have walked around Snaefell to warm you up again. Great place with great staff - go try it!

What was quite telling is that when we finally did find it, the restaurant was full and we had to book to come back an hour later for lunch. Nice option, combining comfort food with fresh, presumably local, ingredients. I started with broccoli stilton soup. The broccoli came through and it had a nice consistency though I could not really taste the stilton. For my main, I had chicken kiev. Large piece of chicken and the garlic butter definitely had enough garlic. Came with good fresh vegetables and nice chips. My son seemed to enjoy the chocolate cake. While the service wasn't fast, it was very pleasant. We plan on going again.

Nice little cafe, which has to tolerate a lot of people running in and out, and sometimes to only use the bathroom. Next time, I suggest the cake.

Order at the counter indoors and it will either be given to you right away or you will receive a buzzer for when its ready.

Food was great and a cup of tea sealed the deal. Service was friendly and efficient. A perfect Laxey Beach spot. Parking along the seafront.

I am not sure if the other review is referring to the tea room downstairs or the upstairs restaurant , to be honest I am kind of confused about the layout of the place. I can say the downstairs tearoom is very good. Cannot comment on anything else, but the owners are making a go of it (but they should take note to the other review) they had a terrible flood a few years ago, so kudos to them for their hard work.

We were dining for my grandmas birthday so with lots of elderly relatives I kind of thought it might be acceptable to them (you know cos they don't like rare meat, probably don't dine out much etc etc) but they were some of the most vocal critics to the waiting staff. Super dry and tough beef, so hammered - veges that weren't even cooked and hard, yorkshire pud all doughy and undercooked - it was a complete bloody disaster! I'm only giving it an extra star after my initial thoughts to give it 1 because the staff were so lovely and also because they sold the 'Hooded Ram' local beer that helped ease the pain of having to sit through this meal...I felt bad for the staff having to pedal such shoddiness.

Had chicken tacos from their street food menu and it actually tasted like street food that you would get at a cool restaurant in London or Berlin, not the reheated fast food street food you normally get on the island. The chicken was fresh and the flavor was interesting and great. It also came with a nice combination of four salads (including tomato and mozzarella and a cous cous salad). Finally, rather than throwing chips at you, it included some beautiful sauteed potatoes. Overall, a great lunch.

I have often walked past and taken no notice of what looked to be an ordinary cafe. I have to say I…read moream very pleased that I finally ventured in to give it a try. The decor is basic like any typical British cafe until you see Chinese writing hanging from the entrance to the kitchen. (see photo) I was immediately drawn to the Oriental Corner part of the menu which offered a meat choice with noodle in Soup. If you have ever had Vietnamese Pho then this would be like a Chinese version. (not as intricate as a proper Pho or with the proper noodles) I ordered the meat dumpling with noodle in soup and my friend ordered the roast pork version. We also ordered a portion of Chinese pan fried meat dumplings (this was pork and shrimp, known as Jiao Zi if you want to get technical) When the noodle / meat soup came out it looked very appetizing, was light in flavor (they give you soy and homemade chili oil to deepen the flavor to your liking) I tried both dishes and have to say the roast pork was tender and light and the dumpling was excellent. I can't believe this was only £4.50 a portion! Yes, £4.50! A crappy sandwich from a shop would cost £3.50. This is much better! The side of pan fried meat dumplings were very good although I wish the dipping sauce was a bit more interesting maybe some garlic, chili sesame seed oil or something. The staff in here are also really nice. Very friendly, warm & smile a lot. Gives the place a good vibe. I will definitely be coming back to try some of the other oriental dishes. (They do other typical cafe / British dishes as well and I may give those a try at some point also as I imagine they will have the same high quality and great prices.) I suggest you give this place a go. I for one will certainly be coming back!

Lucky for me that I remembered this place and convinced my wife we should walk the 2 mins in howling wind and rain to get to the promised land. This place has been here for years and while maybe looking slightly dated in terms of modern coffee shops has a really good vibe with friendly staff, lots of snacky options and of course good quality coffee. The macchiato I had was great and my wife went for the cappuccino - these both came to £4.50 which is a fair price to pay. Just be warned though that they charge 50p to use your card if less than a fiver - so make sure you have enough cash on you as I didn't clearly see any cash machines close by. Hot chocolate is supposed to be awesome here too. Wifi password is: spillthebeans
