Welcome to Bucket & Spade, an inviting café located on the stunning Central Promenade of Mablethorpe, UK. This charming seaside spot is more than just a café; it is a delightful retreat where the delicious aroma of freshly brewed coffee and baked treats fills the air, making it the perfect place to pause and soak in the beauty of the beach.

One of the highlights of Bucket & Spade is its menu, which boasts a selection of delectable treats that will satisfy any palate. Customers rave about the café's tempting lemon cake, described by Julija Gavrilova as “one of the nicest” she’s had, and with a sip of their great cappuccino, your afternoon is sure to be elevated. The spacious outdoor seating allows you to enjoy your treats while basking in the sun and taking in views of the beach.

The atmosphere here is friendly and laid-back, perfectly mirroring the easygoing nature of a day by the sea. As Sue notes, the setup is “friendly & very efficient,” leaving you with a warm feeling and a sense of satisfaction every time you visit. The charming vibe is made even better by the scenic backdrop; enjoy your meals while watching the waves dance against the shore and taking in breathtaking sunsets that make for picture-perfect moments, as Ramrader shared in their experience.

There’s something for everyone at Bucket & Spade, especially families looking to enjoy a day by the beach. With beach toys available at reasonable prices, you can ensure that your little ones have the fun they deserve while you relax over a refreshing drink or delightful snack. While the café is located a short walk from the designated dog areas on the beach, there is ample opportunity to enjoy both the café and the beautiful seaside, making it a great pit stop during your beach day, as noted by Paul Burton.

Affordable prices make it accessible for everyone, and while some patrons, like DY J, wish for more customization options like self-service sugar and milk, the inviting sunny sitting area makes it all worthwhile. With efficient service that keeps everything moving, you will find yourself returning often, just as dave semmens did.

So, whether you're after a quick coffee break, a place to unwind with friends, or a refreshing treat after a day on the beach, Bucket & Spade is your perfect seaside sanctuary. Grab a chair, relax, and let the sounds of the waves and the taste of delicious food invigorate your senses!

Great little spot on the beach front with a nice selection of food and drink on offer. The upside is that it's close to the beach. The downside is that if you have dogs like us, it is a little walk to the dog area of the beach.

Good price, just wish we could have added our own sugar and milk. Nice sitting in the sun though.
