The team here really knows how to look after you. Friendly, but not overbearing - they got the balance just right. Felt properly looked after from the moment we walked in. Service was smooth and professional, which made the whole evening so much more relaxing.

Prices are decent, coffee&#39;s solid. Had a cappuccino and a croissant, didn&#39;t break the bank. Feels like a fair deal compared to the usual spots.

Been coming here for years, and their sourdough potato poppy seed and honey bread is the main reason. It&#39;s always that good. Perfect with a big pot of tea on a damp afternoon.

The little garden out back is what really got me. It&#39;s so quirky and full of character, with all these mismatched plants and vintage bits. Perfect spot to enjoy a flat white and just zone out for a bit. Really adds to the cozy vibe.

The new decor is bright and retro, but I miss the old layout with more armchairs.

The cream tea deal is decent - two warm scones with clotted cream and jam for &pound;7. They were fresh and the staff were nice, even gave us a heads-up about the seagulls trying to snatch food.

The avocado and halloumi on sourdough was the star. The halloumi had a perfect sear, salty and squeaky, and the avocado was creamy but not mushy. It all sat on a thick, tangy slice of sourdough that held up well. Just a really solid, tasty plate.

A nice family-run place. The staff were really friendly and welcoming, which made for a pleasant evening. The food was decent, though the main course came out a little slower than expected. Still, a solid choice for a relaxed meal.

The pizza crust had this lovely char, you could tell they used quality ingredients. It&#39;s a simple thing, but it made all the difference.

Ate inside. Good call, the seagulls are a menace. Liked the eco-friendly vibe, the wooden cutlery and packaging. Simple but nice touch.

Nice spot for a coffee break in the square. The outdoor seating is just right for people-watching on a sunny afternoon. Had a simple sandwich, nothing fancy, but it hit the spot. A solid choice when you&#39;re already in the area.

The salted caramel sundae here is the perfect treat after a beach walk. So many toppings! I grabbed a sundae kit to go&mdash;can&#39;t wait to try it at home. The spot is just steps from the sand.

Loved the option to build my own waffle. Went with cherry sauce, strawberries, and whipped cream. It was a fun little dessert. The whole place has a really relaxed, cheerful vibe that made it easy to just sit and enjoy.

Honey glazed roast pork was the star for me. The char on the edges and that sweet glaze... just right. Fried rice had that proper smoky wok flavour too. Solid spot for a quick, tasty meal.

The food here is so fresh, you can tell it&#39;s all made from scratch. I went with a couple of friends and we kept talking about how you could really taste the quality in the pasta. Perfect for a relaxed catch-up.

Stumbled upon this place by chance. The vibe is so cosy, perfect for a catch-up with friends. Had the vegan burger, and honestly, it was way better than expected! Didn&#39;t miss the meat at all. A nice spot for a relaxed meal.

Cosy spot with a stylish vibe. Dan and Charlotte are lovely hosts. Their wine list is a real highlight, with some interesting local options.

First time here with friends. The food was really good and staff were friendly. Left with a good impression.

Found this spot while wandering around. The breakfast was really good, especially the gluten-free options. Sat in the garden, it was nice and chilled.

The Guinness batter is great, and their curry sauce pairs nicely with a pint. Chips are always spot on.
