Some of the teak furniture they import from Indonesia is just stunning. I have also bought some well priced and unusual items such as ornamental cars made from wire, and candle lanterns made from recycled bottles. Prices are very reasonable and stock changes all the time. This place is definitely worth a visit if you are on the island and is well located between Sandown and Bembridge

As dictated in my previous reviews about coffee in this country, this restaurant got the hint that theres not much luck in acquiring good beans or training people to brew, so instead they gracefully and intelligently opted to serve Illy brand coffee. I was very pleased. Also its a place apparently popular with the local Russian population. I suppose thats supposed to tell you how posh it is or at the least: travelled people who've experienced better food in other countries wanting to bring a little bit of that luxury to southern England.

However given my debatable snobbery of the espresso arts, that is not the case with Jolliffes. Keeping it short, the coffee I've had here several times have always been of poor quality for two reasons: first is that my espressos always seem watered down, second is that the type of beans they use must not come from a reputable source. Or rather, there's no telling what kind of surprise tastes you may get brewed in whether it be pesticides or over-roasted beans. The best thing about this place is obvious right in the door: the ambiance. Art galleries and coffee shops share a symbiotic relationship and one that goes extremely well together. The art on the walls is local, nothing you wouldn't see in any other tourist town to be honest, but they are well done from hobbyists branching out into professionalism. (I can definitely claim to be an art snob because I'm a classically trained artist/designer). Jolliffe's deserves a lot of credit for trying to serve a special coffee experience in a nation of tea drinkers. But alas I'm feeling it's all for not.

Everyone else said their food was just as good! If you're feeling that sweet tooth, try one of their freakshakes which look amazing but if you're counting calories, I wouldn't go near them as it looks intense but great!
