Always quite busy here. Had food here previously which was nice and a different selection of drinks. Visited again and was rudely told they weren't letting anymore in. When walking back more people were sitting outside drinking which had been our plan.

Visited on bank holiday Monday, when we arrived it was chaos the Queue was virtually out of the door. We waited to be seated but nobody came, I had booked a table days prior as assumed this would have been prioritised on the day. How wrong was I, eventually someone came to see us and I told them we had a booking, the poor staff member looked at me in panic and said ?you do know the wait on food is an hour?. After saying we were happy to wait we quickly observed that the likelihood of receiving our food was slim as witnessed multiple people complaining. I did reach out to them just to give feedback but after nobody getting back to me I wasn?t very happy about it. I understand it is busy but most restaurants/cafes I have been to would have stopped walk ins to prioritise bookings. We do not live local either so it was a wasted journey. Really disappointed as we had bought our friends with us to try out. We didn?t get an apology either when stating we would leave our booking which I thought wasn?t great customer service either, hopefully these mistakes can be learnt from but not sure I would risk returning.

The worst service i have ever seen. Waited for a simple breakfast for an hour and had to cancel it. No apologies from anyone. Never go again to eat something

Possibly the worst experience I've ever had at a cafe. Really disappointed. Our first time visiting Osea View and unfortunately our last.
There seems to be no one in control, everything just seemed a mess and an inconvenience to the staff.
You really need to stick to just table service - and just bookings only, we witnessed a mix of these PLUS walk-in's & counter ordering, and it made it an absolutely shambles. We also witnessed some awful customer service. Basically: ''Theres no chairs at your reserved table, but I'm busy so you'll have to go find your own'
Milk in the coffee tasted burnt, most of the coffee was also in the saucer and plonked onto the table, you could feel how annoyed the staff were.
We know you were busy, we saw that, but not caring if anyone is happy or not when you're paying for a service is rubbish.
We seemed invisible. After waiting for table service, we eventually gave up when a table of 15 walked-in without a booking and ordered at the counter whilst we had been sat waiting for service for 30mins.
When the food eventually arrived, the beans were stone cold, the toast was very hard - seems as if it was toasted then re-heated.
The sachet Brown Sauce is disgusting. You have Tiptree jam why not get Tiptree Brown Sauce too?
We would happily pay more if we knew it would mean we'd get good service and hot food.
It's a real shame, it's a nice spot, and most other aspects of the food were good, but customer service, and the structure of the place made it an awful experience.

What a shame. This place has all the potential to be something really special, but on our first visit it turned out to be a huge disappointment.
We booked, and due to not being able to book a couple of days earlier, assumed that booking was essential. It turns out booking definitely isn?t essential, and shortly after being sat down upstairs and being told that someone would be up shortly to take our order, a non booking group of about 12 sat down at the boat table and proceeded to get their order in themselves downstairs before we were even asked about drinks. Maybe they know how to make things happen here?
I?m not sure if this is where it all went wrong this day, as we sat patiently for over an hour before getting our coffees, which were now mostly contained within the saucer, and watched as the large table received an endless stream of incorrect orders and missing drinks, some of which they never received.
The food that was coming out to them looked great though, so we waited on.
After an hour and 15 minutes, we received our food, which also looked great. However looks were very deceiving. I can only assume that our meals had sat under some sort of heat lamp for a good half hour, as somehow the sourdough toast and the Cornish seaweed rosti were absolutely solid. It was like trying to cut wood. Poached eggs were underdone with mostly clear goo spilling out. Homemade beans were tasty but stone cold. Coffees were very average, I think maybe my milk was burnt if that?s even possible? Was very odd, as the ingredients were great, recipes were very decent, presentation was very good too, but the delivery and execution of service was really really bad.
Kind of hoping it was an unusually bad day for them (BH Monday) but I?m not sure that I?ll be able to convince the other half to give them another try in future.

We have waited 45 minutes for 2 coffees which didn't come. Having asked for a refund as we weren't prepared to wait any longer, we were told it would take 4-5 days for it to appear on our credit card account. We will not be returning. I didn't want to give one star.

Reserved so had table overlooking lovely view on a warm, sunny day.
Didn't get order correct (think staff member new'ish) so one of us had quite a wait for their food. Would go again

Nice place to visit staff were great, but the afternoon tea was not worth the money, not enough choice, and only got 2 sandwiches
Parking: Parking is by app but never works
