Known for. Casual, easygoing breakfast and brunch spot with a strong local following, good coffee and a relaxed island pace.

Ask for a water bowl when you order, it is not always out on the tables by default.

Best visited outside the ferry-arrival rush late morning, when outdoor tables are easier to come by. Confirm current dog seating rules at booking or on arrival, as cafe policies can change.
