"I saw this cafe on Google maps whilst driving down the coast road. I didn’t really look properly and was totally surprised to find a Citroen van selling drinks. That said the gentleman than runs it is a pure gent and the coffee, cider and cookies we had were excellent. What with the hospitality and great views I would certainly recommend a stop here. Absolutely brilliant."
