You'll always find plenty of locals lounging outside in good weather at the makeshift tables or stopping by on the run for their morning cup of joe. Chat with the super friendly long-term resident expat Brits who run this joint. They can also give you great tips whether you are here on holiday or have moved permanently. They drive their coffee mobile right up to the shack and serve a wide range of hot drinks. Check out their amazing baking. Their gluten-free cookies are to die for (often lemon or lime flavoured). They also have a small range of vegan products available most days and I'm keen to try their pies sometime soon. They are open early morning to around 3ish next to the Caltex service station.
