Great Places for Coffee

Offering incredible views of Sandown Bay, there’s no better way to power up for a full day ahead than sitting beachside with an energising coffee and one of Fins Beach Cafe’s trademark smoothie bowls bursting with vibrant colours. Choose from traditional or flavoured hot coffees or cool down with a creamy iced frappé. 

The home of local favourite Island Roasted coffee, sip on silky smooth hot beverages with over 20 years of expertise hand-poured into every cup.

You can even see some of this in action in their first-floor roastery and pick up some beans to take home. 

With one location in Newport and another ideally situated next to our Red Jet terminal in West Cowes, Comicoffee serve up delicious coffee, light bites and sweet snacks with a playful comic book theme.
