Generously scattered throughout the city you are sure to discover a number of charming and unique cafe's during your visit. Rest tired sight seeing legs and refuel with a light lunch and chilled glass of wine or satisfy sugar cravings with a delicious wedge of cake and energy boosting coffee to prepare you for the adventure that lies ahead.
Described as a tropical beach café, the Pineapple Cove is a great choice for a moment of indulgent escapism. The stylish decor and laid back ambiance offer the perfect environment for a relaxing brunch, a coffee and cake catch up, or a light lunch with an Aperol Spritz. Choose from salads and sandwiches or go all out with an extravagant ice cream sundae or bubble waffles. Little ones are welcome too.
