"Excellent coffee but closes at 4pm! The late closing appears to refer to occasional summer evenings only."

"Visited on a damp, dark Saturday morning (07/02), in advance of a coastal half marathon. Very friendly service. The sausage bap, prepared for me, was tasty and fairly priced (£4). Don't expect gourmet food here - just simple, hearty 'greasy spoon' food. The Americano was nice - though would have been good to see some sort of deal on breakfast products and hot drinks. All in all, a good experience."

"Had some burgers here with the kids after a beach walk. Nothing fancy, just decent food and good portions. Dog friendly which was a big plus, and the staff were really nice. Great spot for a relaxed bite so close to the beach."
