Friendly atmosphere in this beautiful little cafe. Lorraine was lovely and the customers are also welcoming and kind. Had a stunning pasta dish today…. it was divine. Huge portion! My little doggy enjoyed the free treats and endless pats 🤣

This great café is located in the historic Royal Clarence Yard right by the harbourside. In addition to indoor seating in the café, there’s an outside area with tables and benches overlooking the marina which will be wonderful once winter has passed. Lorraine’s menu choices should satisfy everyone whether they’re looking for a light lunch, a full breakfast or my personal favourite – a bap overflowing with crispy bacon (and English mustard of course!). If you’re a cake lover, then you’ll be spoilt for choice with the selection of her home made cakes and sponges. In addition to all of this, the icing on the cake (sorry!) is the friendly, warm welcome everyone receives from Lorraine. Parking: Up to four hours free parking in the Cooperage car park Wheelchair accessibility: The café is currently reached through the pedestrian gate of Victoria Quay. In addition to pedestrians this also allows easywheelchair access.

Brilliant cafe. An amazing find. We couldn’t believe the fabulous restaurant-quality food at cafe prices. Really affordable. Great location. Great atmosphere. Such a unique cafe in a working boat yard. We had the Mango-Chilli Chicken and Rice. Just the sort of meal you’d expect to be served in a posh restaurant, not a cafe in a boatyard in Gosport. Such a lovely surprise. The Sticky Toffee Pudding for afters was delicious. Love the coffee and yummy cakes too. We’ve been several times now and Lorraine is always so welcoming. The cafe is spotlessly clean and the food is consistently top notch. Can’t believe our luck discovering a local cafe run by a top chef. We’ve lived in Gosport for more than 20 years and know all the great places. Lorraine has set a new standard. She even had free treats for the dog. T By The Sea is our new favourite breakfast and lunch cafe. We’ll definitely keep going back. Highly recommend it.
