We ordered tapas, carrot cake, cheese cake and coffee. The coffee was terrible. The cakes were just good. Tapas were very small and average. The service was excellent.

Amazing! Very warm (and fast!) service and reasonable prices. Highly recommended! Beautiful setting with morning and all-day sun. You can also understand how popular it is by how busy it always gets.

Really friendly staff serving great coffee and good food all day. Order a slice of cake and the coffee is free. Facing on the Marina. Great place to watch the world go by

Breakfast good here and nice coffee. For lunch had chicken wrap which was decent. Others had chicken ciabatta which were on the big side bread wise. Service solid and seem to know what they’re doing. Beers ok but can’t get on board with lager in a Guinness glass
