Empty plates, perfect coffee, great vibes. We loved it here. Spot on recommendations on food even for the kids and they had all the milk options to cater for any kind of coffee. The view of the beach was stunning too.

Lovely scone and coffee. Good deal for $10. Nice quality serviettes rather than cheap ones that fall to bits. Friendly staff. Very good.
