Bumble And Bee

The food is fantastic and the location and style of the cafe are one of the best in Exmouth. This is what keeps me going back. The experience is consistently let down by the staff though. If that were better I’m sure I would go more often. They are not terrible but a small improvement in attitude would make a big difference. Customers are ignored until the staff member is actually ready to serve them and mostly they can only almost smile at that point. I ask for my scone to be warm and it has a flash in microwave so short it’s only warm on the outside. It’s rare to meet such staff attitude these days as everybody is concerned about their reviews. It would not take much for the b and b to be absolutely 5 star. An experience at the Bumble and Tee in the summer was even worse. Empty cafe we were ignored for 15 minutes while the young lady finished washing up. No acknowledgment of the wait, no smile. There is something about either the staff employed, their training or their pay maybe? But they don’t come across as happy in any of the Bumbles. Business saved by it’s lovely food I would say.

Great stop for brunch, lunch or cake. Small so can be busy. Food was great. Children's food came covered in coriander seeds which wasn't stated on the menu so we had to get a new one which came out quickly. Had a lovely brunch and would recommend. It wasn't that busy and we waited 25 mins for food. I think some extra staff would be welcomed to speed up service and help clear tables quicker.

A fabulous little place to visit. The staff are awesome. The range of food may not be huge, but it is all freshly made in the cafe. The cakes are to die for and the range is great and ever changing. Debs even made a little care package of scones, cream and jam for my husband to have when he was stuck in the hospital.

The sign outside said ‘Award Winning Devon Creamed Tea’ so we had to give it a try. It certainly didn’t disappoint. The atmosphere in the cafe was quite delightful. I really wanted to sit in the naughty corner but the spot was already occupied. The doggie water bowl at the front door had pawsecco on tap. They really look after their dogs in Devon.
