A bright and we'll done cafe very close to the ferry terminal. Stopped in while waiting for my ferry and was very impressed! Great selection of teas and coffee choices, sweet treats, and a small complimentary sweet fudge served with my coffee. Staff were very friendly, and I would definitely return.

Don't just rush off the train into the nearest tea room. You'll miss out this gem. Beautiful cake and a lovely mug of coffee. Recommended from us

4+ GBP for a scoop of ice cream plus cone plus extras. I expected to be blown away, but the quality was pretty standard. By the ice flakes and texture, I think the ice cream was made at least a day before.

Absolutely adorable and delightful stop right next to the ferry terminal! They offer take away and sit in. The selection of teas is lovely and you can smell their locally blended options before choosing. It's new but definitely going to be a fantastic addition to your ferry wait!

Lovely selection of loose leaf teas. Earl Grey wasn't my favorite, but was still good. Lovely that even to go teas are made from loose leaf sachets. Very helpful and kind service.
