Nice little place, great on a sunny day, nice views, great staff and the best Flat White I have ever had. Come and try them, well worth the visit

Lovely place to enjoy all types of food and beverages anytime of the day. Has a great location which isn’t in the busy side and great views. The food was a really good balance and taste fresh like they just plucked it out from their local supply (the English Channel). Convenient, friendly and would recommend. Been then several times during our visit.

Fantastic place for breakfast. The portions were very generous and reasonably priced. The ingredients were fresh and we'll prepared (runny eggs and hot crispy hash browns). The cafe is positioned on the side of a little hill overlooking the sea and the pier so do grab a window table to enjoy the view. The staff was friendly and welcoming, we had a lovely time. Thank you!

A very enjoyable stop on our walk, we had already had breakfast so didn't eat there but the menu looks excellent so planning a return trip for lunch. The cappuccino was excellent though and it's a lovely place to sit and look out at the ships.

Food was absolutely delicious and the staff were really friendly and helpful!…..My 6 year old little boy said…..”Chips lovely, fish fingers lovely, top score 10!!”…..We would definitely return!

What a lovely place to enjoy a coffee, cake, beer, food. The view here is fantastic. Very friendly owner.

The yellow shack by the pier! Great guy runs this place. We called before hand just to check how busy he was and even though it was a scorching hot day there was plenty of things available to rent. Took some kayaks out for a couple of hours down to Shanklin and back. And a little later in the day tried our hands at stand up paddle boarding. Really pleased with the reasonable rates, the friendly welcome, the knowledge shared.

What a lovely dog-friendly place on a rainy Sunday morning (and probably any other morning). Fabulously friendly staff, great fresh food, nice coffee and a waterfront view. Oh, and the hash-browns are scrummy.
