Petra is the daughter I never had. She is a breath of fresh air and a delight . Will certainly continue to be a patron and recommend to others. In the words of Tina Turner, "Simply the Best"

My daily stop for a good quality coffee, tea, hot chocolate or soft drink. Good quality sweet snacks and gorgeous ice cream in the summer. Lovely staff who've become friends. My new'third place'. Made some good friends there. Dog sausage a bonus! Petra and Ingrid are the permanent staff and are the reason I go. There are nearby coffee shops indoors or at least sheltered from the elements. I go to Strollers in all weathers as Petra and Ingrid are brilliant, funny, make great coffee and have become friends. There's an'11 o clock club' of regulars and their dogs and they're really welcoming to newbies. Fantastic views as right on the prom overlooking the beach happy to go there alone as its so welcoming. Could do with some savoury or healthier snacks but that's a minor issue. Personal service with a smile.

Discovered the place by accident when the lady at the window said good morning when I was walking past, so on my way back I decided to get a coffee. Probably the friendliest service I've ever received and completely brightened my day, the coffee was great quality too! Told others about it and now my sister and my best friend whenever I go on walks with them always want to go and love the good feeling you get after you've been, a real hidden gem!

This is the turning point of our walk and we always have an excellent Hot Chocolate. The staff are so nice.
