🔥 Superb spot for breakfast/brunch/lunch/coffee. Went there post 40 foot swimming (and Sauna) and it seems to be the place to go after these types of activity. They also have a sauna and ice bath tank on site (but we didn't go there, as it's not right next to the sea.) Otherwise, fast service, delicious food, good vibes, friendly&happy people all around. Will definitely come back. Oh and they have Austrian Stiegl beer, which is surprising but definitely a plus ⭐

Lovely café. Chill vibes! Fresh smoothies and food. Different sitting areas. Place and pay for food, collect food when buzzer goes off. We had a combo: smoothie (berries, banana, yoghurt, seeds), chocolate brownie, rocky road, acai bowl. Very good 👍🏼 Background music to enjoy.

Went here for the first time today and will definitely be back to try other things on the menu and the sauna. The place is absolutely lovely, didn’t have a coffee there unfortunately but the cheese toasties were lovely. Service was great too, quick turnaround for the sandwich. Great vibe about the place too.

This review is about sustainability only! 🙂 By 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. And over 95% of the plastic that we recycle does not actually get recycled, but rather ends up in landfills, incinerators, or in our waters. These plastics break down into micro plastics, which are severely impacting human health, let alone the health of other species. I was heartened to see that you do, indeed so much of your food in reusable containers for dining in. But I was also noticing where single used plastics were prevalent, like for water, cups, and for ginger shots. Because you clearly are able to provide reusable dishes for meals, I wonder how you could further eliminate single use plastics from the rest of your menu. Perhaps by providing reusable water cups for those staying to enjoy their meal on the premises, and same with the ginger shots. It feels antithetical to be a café and a sauna house in a waterfront town, that is contributing to the plastic pollution crisis. I understand that avoiding plastics at all cost can be difficult as a small business, but I wonder where you may be able to review the plastics you are serving, and see where you can lessen them. Thank you for helping your customers be better to the environment. I trust that all of us would like the opportunity to do better by this earth, and to do better by these very coastlines that we are coming to visit and learn from. Lovely food, lovely service, now would love to see less plastic. Thank you for considering!
