Would never have found this place if it wasn't for friends of ours taking us, but I am SO glad we did. Best place in Eastbourne for breakfast or a quick snack. It's modern, clean, well-staffed, and comfortable with much-appreciated free WiFi. Best hot chocolate I've ever had. We got a traditional English breakfast, a cheese scone, and coffee cake, which was scrumptious. Food is obviously prepared with care and it's all delicious.
