We had brunch there today. Lovely friendly staff, food absolutely gorgeous, we had BTL and a large breakfast and sat on the decking outside, lovely chilled atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

Very cool little (not so little once you get in there) cafe. Nice looking front with the exception of the entrance door.....could do with being changed to something that looks a bit less industrial. The chaps running the place are lovely and couldn't be more helpful and friendly. Has a nice regulars vibe with lots of smiles and chit chat going on . The tables were a bit untidy with crumbs from previous people but they may of had a busy morning, nothing major. I went for eggs benedict and it was spot on . Eggs cooked to perfection, beautiful thick ham couldn't fault it. The only thing was the side salad was a bit limp. My colleague went for a triple bacon sandwich which he said was very nice indeed and looked like very nice bacon from where i was sitting. Coffee is delicious and so smooth . The counter and seating is cleverly designed and well thought out . Would definitely go again .

Popped in early Friday evening for eats and a drink (ended up having 2 bottles!) Food, wine and service were all outstanding. Marked down on atmosphere as it was not busy. Will definitely return.

I came here with my family for lunch. We sat outside and admired the view of the estuary. The service was great and the food fantastic. The big breakfasts went down well, the jacket potatoes looked delicious and my club chicken sandwich was really tasty. Loved that I could have a Spritz with it. Would definitely recommend it.

Front of house service was friendly, booths for 2 people were adorable, music and vibe is chill. Good was delicious! First time husband ate all his greens. We both said we'd happily come back again, and look forward to it too!

A really outstanding experience. The owners are lovely brothers and they made us feel so very welcome. Nothing is too much trouble and the food is delicious. All the staff are super friendly and efficient and the establishment is pristine. It’s a family affair with wonderful cakes made by the owner’s mother (recommend the Avacado cake!). Take out’s are easy and presented lovely (as is the food we had eating in). An added gem is out the back there’s a lovely decking area over looking the sea. Cannot wait to return. Many thanks for the great hosting and food.

Dog friendly place with dramatic views from the deck. Lovely delicious cakes and nice Coffee. I’ll be back.

What an incredible place with incredible food. The hot honey halloumi is the best dish ive had in a long time. Staff were also super friendly. Cannot recommend enough
