    Cup Cafe

    Head to Cup Cafe for breakfast. The eclectic menu of Indian, Thai, and Mediterranean dishes is perfect for an early morning meal, and the outdoor seating is pleasant in the morning light.

Local tip

The park near the anchor is small but peaceful early in the day. Cup Cafe opens at 07:00, so you have time to eat after sunrise.
