A lovely little cafe, good food, a great place especially if the weather is good and you can sit outside on a sunny day.

It's my favourite place for a triple shot cappuccino. Even when busy( which it always is), the staff greet you with a smile. Fast efficient, friendly service. Toilet facilities are always spotless, and there is always water bowls for your dogs outside

Prime location on the seafront, parking for m/ cycles virtually at the front door! A coffee n cake ( panini ; wraps ; also on the menu) shop with an ice cream parlor attached - what's not to like. Plenty of outdoor seating , indoors it's slightly less. Friendly staff, a nice relaxed atmosphere,light airy vibe and decent cappuccino to boot.

this is the best ice cream place I've ever been to, it has everything you need, a variety of colors, flavors and toppings, good staff with support in case of help, and most importantly the highest quality, tasty, and beautiful dishes :)
