Popped in for a quick lunch whilst on holiday and we were dismally disappointed. I was completely ignored on arrival and when I sat down at the table they pointed me to no one bothered to tell me I had to order at the counter. When I worked it out I stood at the counter for ages before a very... More

Discovered a Gem! and certainly the only place to sip a delectable home roasted coffee served with a smile from easygoing and hospitable proprietor Ryan, and their homebaked crouissants are just heavenly. What a pleasure to browse the net with the wifi,... More
