Nice, family run cafe on the ideal beach location with fantastic ocean views and on sunny day cliffs of Cape Kidnapppers. Good selection of coffee , tea and some snacks. Sits are bit rusty Beanie bass and beach chairs bit dirty and worn out but the views and chilled down atmosphere is priceless.

The BEST location! The perfect place to bring your little ones and relax on a beanbag with a coffee. Irina is incredibly generous, kind and hardworking. I’m so grateful for the beautiful space she has next to the sea.

Now this place is the place for a great time with friends and family, we got a few drinks sat in the sun and chilled, it's got such a great atmosphere and everyone around is in good spirits, it's worth popping down for a great time to just chill and relax!

Great coffee from a container on the beach. A lovely spot to watch the waves while sitting on bean bags. Good snacks too.

Great location and the view is awesome. Had a smoothie as not a coffee drinker and it wasn’t the most flavoursome. Coffees did look good though and the staff were very friendly. Didn’t take long to get served etc. Well worth a visit and right next door to the Sunday market.
