This has to be by far the best place to sit and have a coffee this morning, the view was so tranquil and beautiful we just sat and looked out enjoying the coffee and view. Thank you again to the staff, another fantastic coffee.

Real cups available now!! Lovely relaxed atmosphere with a few chairs and cushions for the patrons. Bestest this end of The Strand; or go to the Gelateria if you are at the other end.

The owner and her team is very friendly and warm-hearted. Just came there and felt really welcome. Good Equipment, perfect coffee and a cozy outdoor area surrounded by palms right at the beach. Will definitely come back again
