Met a friend for a coffee... It wasn't busy, but the service was slow, but that didn't matter to us at all. Friendly staff, clean and warm and the coffee was lovely.

Think I’ve just found my new Thursday morning hangout! Was greeted with smiles and great hospitality throughout. It’s hard to find a place with great coffee and a breakfast to match. Phabulous Cafe just does that! Looking forward to my next visit :)

Always seems busy when I walk past (which is a good sign) so was intrigued but managed to come at a quieter time. Lot's of lovely quotes inside - I didn't realise but it's a charity training centre for those that want to develop and learn skills (and they may have additional needs/requirements) great ethos - keep up the good work. The coffee was really nice and food was great - lot's of essentials like jacket potato (!) but also lighter dishes like salads with hummus and falafel (and mango sauce - loved this!). Portions are very good and staff are friendly. Will be back! Xx

We were looking for somewhere dog friendly to grab something to eat and a hot drink. We definitely picked the right place here. Very friendly and hospitable. The food was delicious. My hot chocolate was lovely with cream and chocolate buttons on top. Very reasonably priced aswell. I would highly recommend this great cafe. Well done

I'm a lil bit bias as I know a staff member, but the boss was bubbly. The place is interesting to look at. And knowing they cater for young adults with difficulties is amazing. Their team are kind, funny, efficient, eager to help & the food was very nice ....and you get to see the sea a tiddly bit.

Lovely staff, great place to stop by for a coffee or hot chocolate. They put a lot of details into what they do and are extremely patient. I love their hot chocolate and they also offer great cakes!
