The lovely staff at Java Bay Café in a very last-minute emergency for my daughter's wedding in November supplied a beautiful wedding cake when the original cake was stranded on the island because ferries were cancelled. Many people thought it was superior cake and they save the day!

Beautiful place! Nice and cosy atmosphere. The staff are super friendly and professional; they know their drinks. The baked goods are fresh and delicious, try the scones! Amazing coffee! They have the best coffee on the island. Just overall a great place to have a desert and a great cup of java. Thank you! I’ll be back!
