“ Best tea place by far on the island The garden is just magical - there’s a few seats that face it and it’s just pure meditation - The two ladies owning the place are really welcoming and sweet, the tea and coffee were both made with great caution.

“ Delicious matcha and desserts, very friendly hosts ”
“ The light and fluffy layer of shortcake, tucked gently at the bottom, supporting the layers of soft, delicate, sweetened cream paired beautifully with the perfectly prepared crêpes tucked between each layer of heavenly cream made this cake one of perfection. The rich flavours of the tea, simple, yet beautifully spiced and aromatic, complimented the delicate flavours of the cake like a setting sun complements the sea. The café itself is honey and comfortable, welcoming patrons with a gentle and peaceful atmosphere to comfortably enjoy their experience. The gardens surrounding the café only serve to further the atmosphere. ”
