Before you head over

Practical advice on hours, walk-in seating, and payment to help plan your visit.

  • Arrive early for smooth service

    The cafe opens at 5:00 AM daily, making it ideal for early coastal walks before the morning rush. Arrive well before early afternoon, as coffee service and hot food prep can close earlier than scheduled trading hours.

  • Plan for walk-in seating

    Tables cannot be booked in advance, so simply walk up. Seating along the Esplanade is limited, but turnover is rapid and takeaways can be enjoyed right across at the beach.

  • Bring card payment

    The counter operates entirely cashless with a card-only policy that includes a 1.5% processing fee, so make sure to have an electronic payment method ready.
