A new cafe promising a "peaceful space with calming decor and welcoming staff" is opening on an Isle of Wight seafront.
Zen Cafe, on Ryde Esplanade, welcomes its first customers today (Saturday).
Owned by Agnieszka Gniadek, the idea for the cafe was born from the calming spirit of the Isle of Wight — "a place you fall in love with at first sight".
With only a few seats available, Zen is primarily a "grab and go" spot, she said.

However, she hopes the cafe will offer a place for customers to "take a break and feel good".
Serving breakfast and lunch options, the menu will feature freshly made meals, with plenty of vegetarian, vegan, and low-carb options.
She said: "In addition to wholesome meals, you'll find freshly squished vegetable juices and a selection of traditional English cakes, blending modern wellness with comforting classics.
"Looking ahead, the team plans to launch a home delivery service, bringing their healthy menu straight to your door."
To celebrate the opening, the cafe is offering coffee for just £1 with any cake or meal purchase.
This applies to the opening weekend only (May 10 to 11).
