This is a small busy beachside cafe. Come here if you want to enjoy your brekkie looking at the beach. I reckon we waited abt 20 mins for meal and coffees but the view was so spectacular I really didn’t care. The service was friendly and helpful. We both had bacon and egg ciabatta rolls They are pre-cooked and toasted on demand. We both thought they were delicious and good value. This is not a gourmet dining experience it’s coffee and rolls on the beach. We loved it.
