  The coffee is here is just alright and similar can be said about the food. But hangout factor? That goes way above expectations. Located just beside the beach with floor to ceiling glass panels, this is a superb place to meet up with friends or just a casual coffee and book day. Do come early or call in to reserve a table. It gets crowded.

  Quite nice food and great location.
  
  BUT a dozen people were forced to sit in the shade on a 8 to 10 degree slightly windy but lovely sunny morning because multiple requests to put one of the large umbrellas down were refused. With wind chill it would have been near zero degrees. Despite all around saying they were happy to get up and move (even mid meal) to allow it to be done.
  
  "once it's up, it's up" was a lame excuse. It shouldn't have been up and it should have been put down on request especially when customers said they were willing to be inconvenienced for it to be done.
  
  it is there for the customers, yes? We all froze in the shade on a beautiful sunny morning...see photo below for how silly it was and imagine near zero degrees, forced to sit in the shade on that sunny morning.
  
  People had to get up and leave breakfast to stand in the sun frequently... while we could see the sun blocked by the umbrella. Not impressed with the manager, and not impressed the staff were clearly not empowered to simply put an umbrella down as every one had to "speak to the manager" when asked to put it down. They were asked at least 5 times. This reflects poorly on the manager.
  
  As a result i advise not to attend on a nice winters day unless you are happy inside with less benefit from the beach side location. In which case you may as well be in any cafe not a beach side one.

  Coffee was good, the waitress that served us was lovely. Shame about the manager...... I made the mistake of asking for the expiry date to be checked on the cream as it was off. He launched into how it should be fresh etc etc. The irritated manager instructed our waitress to replace it, not even a sorry about that. That will be $18.00 thanks. I'll take my business elsewhere.

  A beautiful view. Attentive staff giving service and a smile. Also while we were there we saw a few Dolphins swim past.
  We sat inside however on a sunny day like today the deck chairs out front facing the water are very popular.
