Traveler reviews
The Budget Globetrotter
★★★★★6 months agoAll of the food is made on the same day - from sweet pastries to savoury sandwiches. I had a Mozzarella, Green Pesto and Tomato sandwich on Walnut Bread and my partner had a Blueberry Croissant and both were delicious. You can watch them make everything, they have merch - including these really cute lunch bags. It’s open space is a great layout, and their hot drinks - I’d really recommend their Hot Chocolate! They’re featured in the Coastal Cafe Guide and you can absolutely see why. It’s perfect location in the docks.

★★★★★5 months agoThe food is really good and fresh. I had a milk chocolate croissant and it wasn’t too sweet the pastry was really good and the filling was still even a bit warm which was great. The way it’s structured is also really good; as you have time to properly look and decide what you would like to get before going to checkout unlike other bakeries where you might feel pressured to make a decision. We couldn’t find a seat inside however there is lots of seating in the surrounding area outside.
