"Just a quick red cuppachino here on Sunday, had a long walk and decided to stop here. We sat outside on the verandah, there is a great view of Seaforth, Simonstown. The place is small and cosy. It as full up inside. Pet friendly, will definitely have the bagels next time. There's a little water feature outside with comforting splashing. They serve the excellent Truth coffee"
