Large, airy Cafe with outdoor seating as well. There is quite an extensive menu with light meals, all day breakfast and quite a few vegan and vegetarian options. We were having brunch and tried the good old big brekky which was great- good variety, well cooked. Always looking for another way to enjoy coffee and the tiramisu latte dessert hit the spot. Friendly, prompt service in very pleasant surroundings.

We celebrated Mother’s Day at Skinny Dippers and were absolutely delighted by the warm atmosphere, thoughtful service, and delicious food. From the moment we arrived, the staff made every mum feel special with complimentary chocolates and genuine smiles all around. A beautiful balance of hearty classics and modern favourites. The Chorizo Benedict was cooked to perfection, with velvety hollandaise and crispy bacon on fluffy sourdough. The waffles were a standout too. We also tried the Farmer's omelette and Lamb Shakshuka, both were amazing and generous. Coffee was smooth and rich, served promptly, and the chai latte was perfectly spiced. Even the little touches like table decorations and hand-written reservations made the experience feel intimate and genuine. Thank you, Skinny Dippers, for making this Mother’s Day so special. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a warm, welcoming spot with top-notch food and a lovely community. Special thanks to Chef Abhi for accommodating us on such a busy day.

Hands down, the best cappuccino in town! The croissant was equally delightful—flaky, buttery, and full of flavor. Both were the perfect reward for an early start to the day.
