It's a busy place, so be prepared to wait. We were told when ordering it would be around 25 mins or so. This was fine with us as it's lovely to sit outside and watch people go by on the boardwalk, walking, running, exercising dogs..ours wanted to take off too! Excellent Fish. If you are less keen on salt ask them to leave it off the Chips. Very good fresh salad. Kind staff brought a water dish over for Dog 🐕 Enjoyed and would recommend!

Nice place by the water, coffee is good. Ordered a Full Monty and Bliss Bowl. Both tasted great, quick service and good quality food. Very busy local cafe so get here early to get a table out of the sun Close proximity to pool means you have a fair bit of background noise from children yelling and screaming. If you can bare the sun and don’t mind the noise it’s a fantastic cafe
