"OMG! I have been to this place a few times and realize only know that I have not yet written a review. It must have been my enthusiasm for this location and coffee shop that made me forget...... The Beach House is easy to find. Get off the 26 bus on Portobello High Street, which crosses with Bath Road. There is a charity shop on the corner. Walk down Bath Road and get to the end of the road where you can see the open sea and smell the fresh sea air. Sandy beaches lay bare infront of you with many people strolling along the promenade, enjoying the scenery and a brisk fresh air walk.. Turning to the right you will find the beach hut. You cant oversee it. The exterior tries to blend in with the area of a sea side resort: White and Blue colours, inside and out! In the summer you can sit outside either on the promenade wall or if you are lucky enough you conquer a table and chairs. The interior invites you to sit down and rest your laurels. Its warm in the winter and with a hot chocolate and a cake it is just too good to be true. Once I enjoyed an ice cream Sundae (in the summer with caramel topping. Lately I ordered a hot chocolate and a few scoops of their creamy ice cream. You can also get cakes and a light lunch, soft drinks, coffee, soup etc, apparently all organic and from local suppliers. Sometimes I feel the service is a bit slow, such best you have plenty of time what you should have, as time stands still when you are at a beach side resort : The slow service aside, the staff is very friendly. It is my favourite place to enjoy peace and tranquility!"
