Such a lovely bakery/coffee shop. Can't fault either the coffee or the cakes, they were both very good. Took my Westie in with me and got chatting to the two ladies who own it. They were both lovely and so welcoming. If you want good coffee and lovely cake, I can't recommend them enough.

Great coffee!
They were only just opening as we passed on the way back to the car (early start before it got too hot) and allowed us to bring our pup in while we purchased a take away cream tea (for later in the day) and some much needed coffee.
One of the ladies had come out and pet our puppy as we were on our way to the Harbour and she seemed so friendly and genuine we felt compelled to go back, and were glad we did!

Had takeaway breakfast and coffees from Skippers. The best we've had in South of England.

Mixed feelings about this review to be honest. I'd had a coffee the other day and it was absolutely the best flat white I've had in the area... really very good. Deffo 5 stars for the coffee..... however.... we went back for some traybake cakes which looked incredible, 6 for 15 quid - peanut butter and chocolate, raspberry and white chocolate flap jack, rocky road, blondie and a brownie. Whilst all the cakes looked truly delicious, and tasted really good, sadly all of them were so sickly sweet that none could be finished and the brownie and blondie were literally raw....like, just a slice of brownie mix....
Whilst this was a disappointment, I would still revisit Skippers for the coffee, the excellent service and super friendly staff.
