A bright little modern cafe with a sunny terrace specializing in mixed juices and shakes (S12 to S20) served in massive fish-bowl-like glasses. There's a staggering 80-odd varieties of beverage in addition to quality breakfasts (S12 to S24), real coffee, burgers and pancakes. It's a fine hangout spot although considering the array of wildlife just offshore here, it should really lose the plastic straws.
