This satisfyingly industrial-styled cafe is only metres from the beach, but that's far from its only charm. It's the brainchild of four buddies whose focus is organic produce, and the dishes and service punch well above cafe level (we love the crusty banh mi). Vegans and paleos will be equally at home here, as will children (there's a play area).
