Great little cafe in the middle of Marske and very close to the beach path. Friendly staff, great food and quick service. We both had the poached eggs on sourdough with some sides, and they were fab.

Needed lunch in Marske (our first ever visit there!) and called in here as it was "top rated". That rating is no exaggeration, the food was absolutely delicious! The Persian Frittata was one of the tastiest things I've ever eaten and I'll be trying to recreate my own! The Mrs's Curried Sweet Potato soup was also delicious as was the sourdough. We followed up with a piece of cake, we just couldn't resist. All food is home made too! Service was friendly and fast. Can't wait to go back.

Stopped off for mid morning coffee but was very easily coerced into a sausage sourdough sandwich (£7.50). Windows on one side open full width for high seated bar. Plenty of outdoor seating too. Delicious sausages and fresh, spongy sourdough bread. Family had sourdough blondie (almond and blueberry) and rich gooey brownie. Nice coffees too around £3

Lovely small place with friendly staff. I enjoyed the Poached eggs with bacon. Two small poached eggs with deep yolk and very little white. Plenty of really crispy bacon (as requested). On two tasty pieces of thick crusty fresh sourdough. All presented on very trendy crockery. My latte was also really nice. I took a piece of the salted caramel brownie with me for later. Very good brownie! The prices are not cheap, but the ingredients were clearly all very good quality so overall we really enjoyed everything we had and would definitely recommend this place.
