I ate at Back on the Beach …the food was okay, nothing to rave about but nothing to complain about either. The highlight was the service; our server was really kind and attentive. I did notice lipstick on my glass, which was a little off-putting, but she handled it quickly and brought back a clean one without any fuss. Not a bad experience at all, just decent. Probably a good spot if you’re looking for a casual bite by the beach.

Simply amazing ocean front cafe beautiful vibes. We just had bagel...French toast...for kids....a little waiting..but great footfalls and excellent ambience...sunsets are a great plus point. A pool behind and facilities of annemberg community centre especially parking is amazing. Great outdoor seating adds life to the experience.

Awesome patio by beach. Yummy food. Only issue with salmon platter was there was only a tablespoon of cream cheese. I like less cream cheese so not a big deal.

Great experience for brunch on a Sunday. We arrived before 10am, and sat outside on the beach, feet in sand. Eggs were light and fluffy, with a cream cheese addition I had not experienced in a scramble. They were incredible. Flavor profile is one thing to master, but keeping an egg scramble light, fluffy and creamy in the same bite is an art. The side of potatoes were the perfect flavor and consistency. A healthy portion that didn't allow me to finish the serving. Plenty for two people. Cocktails were a 4 of 5, and my chicken chorizo was slightly dry, but the overall experience was so enjoyable, it merits a 5 across the board. Delightful! Can't wait to return.

A cute cafe right on the Beach with a convenient parking lot. Try to arrive before 11 AM to get a parking spot and avoid the line. Reservation highly recommended if you have a big group. The parking rate is $3 an hour. The food was good - has both breakfast and lunch menu to choose from. I ordered the North African Shakshuka and it was flavorful. Service was attentive - the waiter came around several times to refill water and coffee. Note that the 18% tip is automatically charged on a big group.
