This place is 5+ stars***** We've tried the homemade cake with berries and three chocolate, a bomb!!! Cappuccino here is a MUST as few do know how to make on the island and the redhair barlady knows how to put a smile on you face if you're having a bad day or you're just grumpy ! (see photos) she's a true artist! Very good place to relax and enjoy overall! It can get very busy, especially in the morning, so you might wait a little longer to get your breakfast or coffee. A litter more than usual... Staff very friendly and polite! Will keep coming back

FANTASTIC BAR!! I have the pleasure of living near this Bar and it's amazing! They make the most lovely coffee and the service is so friendly and always with a smile! The menu is excellent too and they offer two different types of breakfast...the normal english breakfast and the new american breakfast.
