Great little cafe on the high street, handy for Cowes Yacht Haven Marina. Allow you to order ahead to save time. Great food and great service

A lovely spot for people watching with great coffee and pastries - although get in early to make sure they have some pastries left! Sit outside to experience the ebb and flow of Cowes on Shooters Hill.

Fabulous cheese scone baked fresh that morning and a lovely cup of IOW coffee best we've had during our two week stay. All delivered with a smile and wonderful customer service. A must to visit if you are in Cowes.

Really friendly welcome and lovely food. The branding is really smart and I look forward to going back when we're allowed to dine indoors. First rate.
