🐾 A quick note for our visitors, as the café is located within Charles Fort, we are required to follow the fort's visitor regulations. Unfortunately, dogs are not permitted within the fort grounds and therefore cannot be accommodated at the café.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to welcoming you for coffee, treats, and stunning harbour views. ☕💙
