Villa Café, located just a stone’s throw from Douglas Promenade, is a bright and welcoming spot perfect for locals and visitors alike. With outdoor seating and views of Douglas Bay, it's a particularly lovely choice on a sunny day – the kind of place where time slows down a little and the coffee tastes just that bit better.
Popular for its laid-back atmosphere and wide-ranging menu, Villa Café offers an all-day experience, with breakfast, brunch, lunch and snacks available seven days a week. Whether you’re after a hearty start to the day or a casual midday bite, there’s something on the menu for every taste and appetite.
Their breakfast menu, available until 12pm, includes full English classics like the Large Breakfast with bacon, sausages, eggs, toast, baked beans, mushrooms, black pudding, hash browns, and grilled tomato. There’s a vegetarian version available too, which features halloumi, falafel, and hollandaise for a fresh and meat-free start. Eggs Royale, Eggs Benedict, and poached or scrambled eggs on sourdough or bagel offer more refined morning options, while pancakes with toppings like smoked streaky bacon and maple syrup are a favourite for those with a sweet tooth.
For lighter bites, toast, cereals, crumpets, or a Ross Bakery bagel topped with smoked salmon or avocado are perfect grab-and-go options. Whether you're refuelling before a day in town or simply enjoying a lazy brunch, the breakfast spread delivers plenty of choice.
From midday onwards, the menu shifts to a mix of hot and cold plates, all with a homemade, freshly prepared vibe. Hot salads like the chargrilled chicken breast with sweet chilli dressing or goat’s cheese with pine nuts and pesto are served with a full seasonal salad and offer a hearty yet wholesome lunch option. Cold salads, including the smoked salmon and prawn Marie Rose or classic Ploughman’s, are a refreshing choice, especially on warm days enjoyed outside.
Fans of café classics will appreciate the selection of hot and cold baguettes, ciabattas and toasties, filled with favourites such as bacon, cheese and mushroom, steak and caramelised onions, or ham and cheddar. For a comfort-food hit, jacket potatoes with fillings like tuna mayo or smoked salmon and prawn are always a reliable go-to.
There’s also soup of the day, daily specials, and ice cream for a sweet treat – making Villa Café ideal for all-day casual dining. Family-friendly, popular with regulars, and known for its warm service, this café is a reliable and charming destination, especially when the sun’s out.
