Big Shot

You'll find Big Shot tucked into Marwell House on Marine Drive, basically staring out at the sea while you're trying to decide between the sourdough or pastry. It's the kind of place where the staff actually know what they're doing with an espresso machine—this isn't your standard seaside café vibe. The crowd's a proper mix: creatives working on laptops, hungover weekenders after a full fry-up, and locals who've made this their regular spot. It gets rammed, especially weekends, but that's because people genuinely rate it.
