Charming riverside café with an amazing view, good coffee and a decent amount of sitting spaces, the personnel was friendly and helpful. The customer toilet was tidy and fairly clean.

A lovely little cafe. We stopped just to buy a takeaway coffee, and the service was brilliant. The only ‘negative’ was that the latte was more flat white size, and it appeared to only be a single shot based on the strength, which may appeal to some. The coffee taste was very nice though.
