Fronts directly on to the pavement with just a couple of tables and nowhere really to leave a bike. Maybe ok if there's a couple of you, so one can look after the bikes while the other goes in, but solo riders or larger groups would be better somewhere else.

On a busy main road and with obscure access. Not the best option.

Espresso for your overnight Dun Run needs. Also sells Cannoli, 2023 cannoli were good... but 2024 ones weren't great :) Stop here for coffee though!
