Absolutely lovely cute tearoom. Staff are so friendly and hospitable. Lots of space outside as well as inside. They don’t have a lavatory but there are Public toilets close by.

We had a coffee and some ice cream, while being entertained by birds eating scraps from the floor and tables. The lad serving the ice cream was excellent. He later delivered food to tables and proactively collected empty cups and plates. The ice cream was so creamy and tasty melting quickly. Without doubt one of the best ice creams we have had.

Outside seating that was fine even in October. If there's a chair shortage, ask the staff, because there's a shed full of them right next to the cafe. Watch out for seagulls, because they are watching you and will have anything they can - Hitchcock was right. But a lovely place to drink, eat, and survey the scene.

It’s very easily missed right down the west end of the promenade nestled in the cliff gardens. Well worth a visit for food, coffee and ice cream. It’s very close to the beach.

Gorgeous spot with amazing sea view, perfect for tea and apple pie, cooked breakfast or lunch. A stone-throw from the Italian Garden at the very end of the Promenade. One thing worth bearing in mind that the place has no toilets but nearby are public toilets.

Sat in the sunshine away from the wind on a lovely sunny day. Fantastic scones and a fabulous coffee. Dog friendly and a great spot to sit and have a catch up with friends after a walk. Thank you!
