Great community cafe and very friendly. Happened to arrive on pancake day and we were even given free pancakes! You just wouldn't get this kind of heart warming community spirit in many places.

Popped in for breakfast while on holiday in area. Served by polite lady and nice breakfast, bargain price of £7.50. Tasty and served by a pleasant chap who cooked it. Recommended and nice seating area outside

Hot freshly cooked food and the eggs were cooked to perfection. However the quality wasn't the best. For a £10 breakfast you got the cheapest of sausages. The coffee that came with the breakfast did not taste all that great either. The prices are a bit erratic. Only £3.50 for egg, chips and beans, yet a medium breakfast was £10. They had a great selection of menus for vegans, gluten free ect, however there were about 7 different menus on the table whick could be condensed to just one with symbols. The surrounds were clean and service was polite and welcoming. They have only been open for a couple of weeks, but i will definitely be back.

Lovely cafe, friendly and welcoming. Decor is fresh albeit a little echoing but the place was almost empty on arrival. We had special dietary requirements and chef came to the table and completely addressed our concerns. Food was delicious, place was clean great cafe on the sea front (no sea view due to sea wall)
