A nice spot for a drink with a view! They do a great hot chocolate (actually chocolatey - surprisingly hard to find) and my partner tried a Turkish coffee. It is a bit expensive but it is right by the sea.

Lovely people working here, we've had a lunch and some drinks. Nearby all the shops and a great view over the marina.

Nice place right on the seafront. Not overly expensive for a prime location tourist spot. Friendly & welcoming staff. Coffee was good too! Perfect to sit and watch the world go by

My husband and I had lunch at the Cando cafe today. It was a peaceful setting by the marina and the atmosphere was relaxed.. The service was great and the food was generous and tasty and at a reasonable price. We were able to take our time with our meal (the double cheeseburger was huge and lovely) and had a lovely ice cream to finish I would highly recommend. Btw you can just have a drink there if you wish.
