Terrible .. although few people in having breakfast most already had there food..and I waited 30 minutes for our food.. no apology no care about how long we waited.. food was basic but was 50 euros for 3 people.. place was dirty. And tables all full of dirty plates and rubb.ish. such a shame as used to be a good place in the past.. it needles a manager or some8 who know s how to run a place..plenty of staff but all over the place..

CoffeeDesserts & cakes
Popped in after noticing this place walking back up from the shops. The cake and coffee was excellent. I nearly walked out with €30 worth of Christmas cake as it looked so good. Great place for a break from the Christmas shopping and all on the flat so accessible.
Didn't note a disabled toilet and the ladies would probably be too tight for a power chair.
One of the finest cafés we have ever visited. Big portions of cakes and pies. Superb coffee and very friendly and helpful staff. We loved it. 2 motorcyclists!
