A really cosy cafe serving really decent home cooked, delicious food at sensible prices. Kind & friendly service. A little sun trap terrace to enjoy a coffee or a glass of something. A real hidden gem.

Fantastic, welcoming cafe with good quality food and excellent service. Very comfy seating. Great breakfasts and lunches - see the photo of the delicious halloumi salad I often have there. Always a good range of homemade cakes to have with your coffee. Highly recommended! It’s on the cycle path route from Exmouth too.

We had a wonderful time here when caught out in a huge downpour - very welcoming even though we were absolutely soaked with two little ones! Food was excellent (highly recommend anything with sausages) and the staff were so helpful. Highly recommend! They also stock amazing local milk!

Very nice cafe. Recommended by friends as worth a visit. Little out of the way. But worth the effort. Cafe quite busy for Saturday late morning. Staff friendly. Food very good. Prices good. Will visit again.

A real find, off the beaten track. Always great service and the owners are very attentive. Has become a regular haunt for us our first choice when going out for coffee etc. Evening meals and lunches are special too. There’s even a shop area with essentials and a selection of cakes and pastries etc. Table service and outside are too. Perfect really.
