"This is a little gem of a cafe/coffee shop. Although it is there to service customers taking boating holidays, it is open to all and has become a favourite of ours. Delicious coffees and a few snacks (muffins, cookies, bacon rolls and yummy teacakes). Excellent service. Very dog friendly both inside and outside."

"Had one of the best iced matcha's I've had, but the choice of food is limited to cakes and not much else. Would have liked to have had savoury options like sausage rolls, pork pie, ploughman's would be fab sitting by the water."

"As this being a honest review, I will be honest. The food and service was great, but the variety of options they had were quite limited. There were a lot of drinks and some different paninis, and they had hot drinks too! But I felt like the menu could’ve had more. The seating and area here is nice and clean, and the pricing is..okay I guess but a bit too much . Overall, it was a nice experience. A four stars from me!!"

"Stopped by here for morning coffee and was very pleased we did. Such a lovely, modern, bright and well-presented cafe. There's a choice of coffees and quality snacks. Our dog was made most welcome with treats on the counter. Friendly and attentive service. The place was spotlessly clean & overall we left very impressed indeed. We highly recommend it!"

"Drop in during our walk, service was friendly and excellent. Premises are immaculate, ordered drinks and food which were delivered to our table. Although disposable, serviettes and the like were very high end. Tables cleaned professionally, when cleared. Highly recommended, we will return. Also got offered a loyalty card for drinks, which we gratefully accepted."
