Great experience! We had an omelet and eggs Benedict. Loved it! Seats with an ocean view made our brunch extra special. Great coffee, too. Will be back for more :)

No table service, order at the counter. Food is decent, your standard variety from big breakfast to waffles, benes mince etc. Small double shot coffees are nice and strong but the handle is literally too small to even fit a finger through. Situated nicely on the corner so you get a good view and sunlight. Seating is pretty abundant, some tables benches and sofa sections if you're just having a drink without a meal.

▢ Ambiance This coffee shop boasts a spacious interior that provides a pleasant environment to relax or work. The view overlooking the beach is a definite highlight, adding a serene backdrop to your coffee experience. However, the noise level can be a bit overwhelming at times, especially during peak hours. ▢ Pet-Friendly The shop is animal-friendly, making it a great spot for those who like to bring their furry friends along. This feature adds a welcoming touch for pet owners looking for a comfortable place to enjoy a coffee without leaving their pets at home. ▢ Service The staff here are friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall experience with their warm and accommodating attitude. They contribute positively to the lively, bustling atmosphere of the place. ▢ Food and Drink The menu offers a good selection of common café staples, ensuring there’s something for everyone. While the food is solid and satisfying, it’s the view and ambiance that truly set this coffee shop apart.

Great place to take the doggo on a rainy day with a variety of seating options including couches. It’s laid back and you order at the counter. The presentation of the food is not fancy but taste was good. Doggo also managed to con lots of treats and pats from the staff.
