Great coffee and interesting brunch options. The service is excellent, and I actually see the self-service concept as a plus. The beautiful view, complimentary bottle of water, and cake bites make the experience even more enjoyable.

Chilled spot by the sea with gorgeous views and lovely staff. Sandbar are super accommodating for vegans and can adapt items on their menu if you ask! We had iced oat lattes and spanakopita toast for breakfast. They swapped the eggs out for chickpeas and sweet potatoes and it was amazing. Easily the best breakfast from our entire trip!

We went for breakfast, the food was good, prices are also very reasonable. The cake we tried was a bit dried(I expected better from a home made cakes). Drinks are good, try matcha latte! Very tasty

Nicely designed breakfast (until 3pm) and coffee place with a first row ocean view! I had a fresh orange juice and the best greek yoghurt bowl of my entire trip to Crete! Prices are super affordable and everything is nicely decorated and super fresh, to enjoy right by the sea!

The food was really delicious and the portion was big. We had the bruschetta and it was great. The iced latte with oat milk and the cappuccino with oat milk were also very good, and we can definitely recommend the matcha latte as well. The staff are super kind and friendly. There’s an amazing view right by the sea, and the seating is also excellent.

Exceptionally good cakes (Blueberry + lemon drizzle and Tiffin/Rocky Road) to go with the very good coffee. The breakfast bowl is the healthy and delicious. Nice staff, good for swimming and a view over the old Venetian harbour wall made it our favourite Chania cafe.

Trust all the other reviews. This place was beyond amazing. It was our favorite place to eat on our entire two week vacation to Greece. We went back every morning, it was that good. And we even regularly got pastries to go to enjoy on our balcony. We miss it so much and even have tried to replicate the breakfast since being home. Bravo Sandbar!
