Very friendly and polite staff even for fussy customer. Food tastes very good and the place is clean. Good selection of ice latte flavours. Very well priced, good value for money. The use v shaped chips which are great for scooping sauce, never seen these before but a great and thing to try.

We’re from London and came to explore the Isle of Wight — found this lovely cafe and we’re so glad we did! We had 2 hot chocolates, a mocha, and the chicken special with peri peri. The drink sizes were surprisingly amazing for the price, and the latte art was absolutely adorable. The chicken dish totally worth the wait. It was clear it had been freshly prepared served hot with an incredible peri peri sauce/gravy that was bursting with flavour. Great food, lovely people, and a cosy vibe.

A hidden gem of a place. We stopped by because we just wanted a hot drink and a bite to eat knowing nothing about the place. Well, we will definitely be back when we are next in Shanklin. It is what cafes used to be like. Simple food cooked fast and fresh and very good value for money. The service was excellent. We had two coffees, two toasted teacakes and a sausage sandwich and our bill was under £14 which felt very reasonable. We will definitely make a point to return for the bigger breakfasts which looked great.

Nicest chips I’ve had in as long as I can remember. Freshly cooked and beautifully crispy, non-frozen in all their glory. Will go out of my way to eat here again when back in the summer. Staff so friendly. Owners work here and the care and attention to detail shows. Go, now!
