Coeliac young son, always awesome to find somewhere that does gluten free. Chef brought the gf meal right to our son himself, great food, helpful staff all round.

Seeing as it was a beautiful day yesterday (Monday 7th April, 2025), we decided to visit Mablethorpe and take the dogs with us, so they could enjoy the beach. We arrived a little after 10:30 in the morning and, after an initial walk on the beach and a look around, wanted to find somewhere to stop off, for a bit of something to eat (nothing too heavy, but just to hit the spot!) We looked around and asked for a good place and the Busy Bee Cafe came up, so we decided to give it a whirl. As I've mentioned before, it's always a bit of a gamble trying somewhere we've not been before, because it could either be really great or absolutely terrible. Well, this cafe did not disappoint! Although it can be hard to notice, being tucked away down one of the streets off the main strip, it's a lovely quiet place to enjoy a cup of tea and something to quell one's appetite. There was plenty of seating available outside, with some places available inside too. However, with having the dogs and it being sunny out, we opted for sitting on one of the tables outside (water provided for dogs). It is table service, so we had a really friendly lady come out and take our orders. I love that they had some gluten-free options, for those who are gluten and wheat intolerant. We didn't have to wait long at all, for the food to arrive and we were very impressed! Another lady who came out to serve our food, was also very pleasant and friendly. The food was lovely and hot, the bacon and sausage bap was well worth the price (lovely, soft bap with nicely-cooked bacon and sausages!) Sauces were available on the table, along with salt and pepper (and sugars too for tea, coffee etc!) I believe altogether, the total came to around £17 or so for three hot drinks and three breakfast cobs... Bargain I'd say! Not only that, but there's the option to pay with either cash or card. Without a doubt, we will be returning to the Busy Bee Cafe again, when we are next in Mablethorpe. If you're in the area and looking for somewhere to enjoy a drink and a bite to eat, don't forget about this place! Many thanks to the staff for the great service and the delicious food!
