this cafe is what i would call a dependable favourite. the opening hours are great. they have consistent service and they are right on the waterfront. if you want to take someone out to the waterfront regardless of the day or time this place is most likely going to be open and you know exactly what to expect.
they are pretty busy most of the time so it is a strictly find a seat, order at the counter, eat your food kind of place but most of the food is pretty yummy and the coffee is good enough.
there is ample seating outside so if you are bringing your dog there should be room for you all to sit together.
