Stay for the view.

A seat by the sea
Watch the water from the windows or settle into the fresh air on the terrace.
From breakfast to lunch
Poached eggs, a big brekkie, seafood chowder. There’s more than coffee to stay for.
A little time to yourself
Bring your dog, meet over a meal, or take your coffee along the Esplanade.

A moment for coffee

The pour.
The first sip.
The sea.

A swirl of milk in your cup and nowhere to rush. Make your coffee a moment of its own.

Stay a little
A cup at the table, with the view to keep you company.
Take it with you
Coffee to go, and the Esplanade at your feet.
