Lovely breakfast spot. Would certainly visit again. Food was delicious. Please consider supplying marmalade along with the toast. Or offer it with breakfast
My apologies regarding the marmalade. Just didn't see it when we were ordering. I appreciate that the English café culture predisposes the local, or regular, to look for and order everything at one time, so it's not an issue. Where I come from (Zimbabwe), the condiments are complimentary and come with the meal when it's served.
The real point of this post though is to compliment the owners/ management who were in touch with me the day I posted my original review to discuss the subject. Well done and thank you.

A really fab place with fantastic views. Could be done up a little bit as looking slightly tired. Nice staff and the wine, tea and cake was delicious. Love that there is a fresh fish or pizza van outside selling really good food options too.

Everything about this cafe is great! The location is excellent of course, but the food too is phenomenal. When we're back, we'll be going here again. Breakfast and lunch options are great. There's also a little, mini golf that they run, but it's not been looked after unfortunately. Still fun with little ones, if they're keen. Needs a lot of maintenance.
The staff here are incredibly friendly and I'll 100% be back.

A very popular spot at the beach, so it gets very crowded and a bit too busy (narrow place, so people queue right beside your table). Service was still swift and very attentive though, and the food was pretty good! The sausage roll was freshly toasted and fluffy, while the poached eggs were well done with a smooth & rich sauce hollandaise. Only the toasted muffin tasted more like a normal slice of toast, but that was covered by a generous amount of bacon :)

A cosy cafe that does a surprisingly great range of breakfast, snacks & cakes. There’s a lot of shared tables, so it can get a little crowded - but has a great view and the people and dogs are lovely.

We went for lunch. You can pre-book on the day, inside is small but they have a seating area outside which is great during warm days plus you get a view of the sea.
Staff is friendly and service was good.
Coffee though one of us had wasn't nice, food overall is good.
