So I've been getting lunch here many times on a Saturday but today was different as Ive recently found out I'm celioac so I'm trying to navigate round different cafes and this definitely gets big win from me the person at the service was so helpful and so understanding and found out ways to help they did say that it was a gluten heavy kitchen but I did find somethings I could eat. So would recommend

Lovely cafe! With great service and nice view of the harbour! I think it was reduced service? So only coffees and some ice creams available but there were nice! Some suggestion will be to have the tables wipes since it seemed like there was no wiping and if we can have the tea bag in with milk on the side would have been better.(They put milk with tea bag in same time) Another advice will be if we can have normal mugs rather than paper cups will be even better! Lovely place and would love to come back to try the main menu as well!

Was strolling with my little kiddo when we stumbled upon this little gem of a place on the water. Got myself a coffee and snack and they even had little treat options for my 1 year old. If you’re walking the area, it’s a great little stop!

We gathered here before going to do a canoeing experience. Food was good and service was fast. They have an outdoor seating area which is nice in the sunshine. Indoors you have a museum which is interactive (with lovely staff to answer all your quentions) and a cafe, with possibility of having breakfast, brunch or lunch. They organise events as well in this location (you can see on one of my pics, that they will have some nice things going on on Harbourside fest)
