Nice traditional cafe. If you are on foot or bike stop here for breakfast after the overnight ferry from Portsmouth.

Lovely spot with very friendly staff. We stopped for a quick drink to taste the local beer (bosco! It was delicious!), and we were made feel very welcome. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Traditional French cafe, great coffee, croissants on request. Fab stop for a French breakkie

RIP off, avoid. This cafe has by far the most expensive coffee we have encountered in our 6 months in France so far. Exactly double what we paid for an identical order the day before a few miles away. I wish I had read reviews before visiting as prices seem to vary on a day to day basis. Guess we were ripped off for being tourists. Don’t worry this is day 1 of our stay and you may be surprised to hear we won’t be back…

Only went in for a coffee while having a break from the market next door. Very friendly service. Populated by many local customers. The terrace was full but found a table inside.
