Coffee with a great water view
This cafe takes full advantage of the marina view and the menu remains surprisingly reasonable. Cappuccino ($3.50) uses Mecca Coffee and is well made with a good hit of flavour in a small size cup. There's a fair amount of seating although I'm sure it'll be well sort after on the weekends. Free street parking exists for the lucky ones and there's a nearby playground in the park for the kids. It's also a dog friendly area.

Coffee Alchemy with a view
Nice spot to enjoy a coffee with limited seating that takes advantage of the marina water views. Cappuccino ($5 double shot) using Coffee Alchemy 'Hairy Chest' blend doesn't hold back on flavour that's for sure. I probably should have just gone the single shot but the owner recommended the double. Checking out the coffee description I think the single shot would have been fine, “Bold and bellowing, this blend blows all the bass notes loud and clear. Heavy on the palate and pungent with dark chocolate, earth and treacle on the nose, this is our answer to those who request, “Give me something that’ll grow hair on my chest.” This blend is best for milk-based espresso, and is disproportionately preferred by ladies”. Only takeaway cups available for coffee. Parking is limited in the area and it's surrounded by pleasant grass gardens and a playground for kids nearby. The kids enjoyed their Pure Pops at $5 a pop.
