The Pavilion

Not really sure what I was expecting when we stumbled across the Pavillion. In my opinion sign needed with entrance this way and arrow pointing. Small but light and airy inside especially if you are able to sit by the windows. On this occasion we only had coffee and cake (gluten free options too) which made my day! For me just lacked a little bit of ambience.

The last time I was here it was an abandoned block of toilets and you'd never know it coming here. They've done a great job with the in and out decor of the place; it even smells nice, and the little touches really make it a nice place; the wide, unrestricted windows provide a great view of the sea, and there's a lovely mural on the far wall. We went 9:30 AM on Sunday so service was swift and nice, and the café was quiet. I ordered a decaf oat cappuccino and my mother had a flat white. It's nice that they didn't charge extra for the oat milk and the price of £3.20 wasn't too bad. We each had a slice of baked goods; I had the peanut butter stack and mum had a cherry bakewell slice, which was also gluten free. The peanut butter stack was delicious and rich. My only gripe was that the serving size was small. The bakewell slice didn't taste much of cherry, and both were quite cold and hard to cut. The toilets were really nice; very clean and there's a tampon bin, hand gel and on the whole it's a pleasant place to be. The disabled toilet is spacious and much the same On the whole it's a lovely coffee shop and I thoroughly recommend a visit!
