Large coffee shop serving the usual coffees, teas, pastries, snacks and sweet treats. Visited with family while on holiday for a tea break. Large inside with plenty of seating but the empty tables had not been cleared of cups and rubbish we had to do it ourselves. Was served by a friendly man but felt a bit rushed even though there was no queue. Upon making tea at our table the milk curdled immediately.
