“ We rode our bikes down and stopped for another coffee. We sat on some of the chairs on the grass looking at the Forth. It was totally relaxing and really nice. ”
“ Lovely place for a coffee whilst taking the dogs out a long walk ”
“ As the only cafe nearby this place doesn't need to be any good. But I was served a delicious ham and cheese toastie (I would probably say it was more of a croque monsoir!), ate it on a surfboard-table, a live band was playing some chill jazz in the background, whilst I looked upon crammond island. What more do you want. ”
“ Well this is a place I'd recommend .. only been here once on a Saturday afternoon.. it was busy .. indoor seating is a bit limited but there's lots outdoor seating, being winter.. blankets were provided to keep you cosy!! Good food & coffee too! ”

“ Beautiful location, lovely staff, and amazing art all around. The owner was so amazing and helpful. It is a hidden gem, that even the taxi driver that picked me up wasn't aware of. Can't wait to go back! ”
“ I have seen some bad reviews, so just had to write this. (I never usually bother.) So what do you guys want? Everything to suit yourselves it seems... This is a great place, in an absolutely fabulous location right on the sea front with nothing built-up to the right or to the left, just sand and sea, and you can have a seat and a coffee and listen to free live music. It is not a fast-food motorway cafe..... nor a city-centre corporate restaurant. It is a place to relax and chill and enjoy the peace of the place and the coffee and sometimes the live music (AND snacks, by the way). And the toilet is just a beach-cafe toilet, not Marks and Spencers, so what do you expect? We should be grateful that this place exists.... ”
