Welcome to Wheelhouse Cafe, a delightful gem nestled along the scenic Promenade in Blackpool. This charming cafe is the perfect spot to recharge while soaking in the views of the ocean and the iconic Blackpool Tower. Whether you’re looking to escape the brisk seaside air or simply enjoy a pleasant tea break, Wheelhouse Cafe promises a warm welcome and a cozy atmosphere.

The vibrant energy of the cafe is matched by its friendly staff, who go above and beyond to ensure every visitor feels at home. As Dale Jones reflects, “Really friendly staff, proper doughnuts, made fresh in a bag with sugar, a big brew, sensible prices. Exactly what we needed.” And that’s just the beginning of what you can expect at these inviting tables.

Customer satisfaction shines through the cafe's menu, which features a variety of hearty options designed to please every palate. For a light yet fulfilling meal, consider the range of salads, including tasty choices like Chicken, Tuna, and Corn Beef salads, each bursting with fresh ingredients. If you're in the mood for something heartier, their wraps, such as the Chicken Mayo & Bacon or the classic BLT with Mayo, are sure to delight, wrapping up delicious flavors in every bite.

Little ones are also catered for with a delightful selection of Kids Meals, featuring favorites like Burgers & Chips and Chicken Nuggets with Beans, ensuring that even the pickiest eaters leave satisfied. As Mel B shares, “The food was lovely too! Will come back again.”

While the cafe boasts a wonderful variety of dishes, some guests have noted the limited vegetarian options, currently featuring just a Cheese and Onion Panini or Sandwich. However, the overall charm of the location and its cheerful ambiance more than make up for this little oversight.

As you enjoy your meal, take a moment to take in the beautiful views or sip on your favorite brew as you watch the world go by. Wheelhouse Cafe is not just a place to grab a bite; it’s an experience that nourishes the soul and revives the spirit.

Cold as the sun goes down, two complaining young ones and in need of a brew and place to rest. Really friendly staff, proper doughnuts, made fresh in a bag with sugar, a big brew, sensible prices. Exactly what we needed, when we needed it. Thank you.

Not much options for vegetarians. Only cheese and onion panini, sandwich are there for vegetarians. But overall good. Nice location with the view of ocean and Blackpool tower.
