What a fabulous bookshop with so much more quality gifts and toys. Unable to go upstairs as I use a mobility scooter but I so enjoyed the shop downstairs and the Take away bakes also very yummy. I will be back, thank you for a lovely shopping experience 😊

They make the best and biggest cream tea ever. Lovely comfy settees in the window. Childs play area with a settee and a table enclosed as well. Rather a steep stair case to access the cafe not suitable for anyone with walking difficulties.

Lovely cafe upstairs in a local bookshop. However, it's up a steep flight of stairs so not accessible to all which is a shame. Once there the food is good, their cakes are great! There is a quiet section with leather sofas, a standard seating area and kids are catered for with a small secure play space. Great place for a spot of no hassle present buying as there are inexpensive but quality bits and bobs to buy such as mugs and pictures. Quirky and chilled it's our go to place for coffee when in town.

Busy and buzzing. Good cakes and scones and a decent pot of tea . Good atmosphere. The stairs are steep but it's worth the effort.

Lovely jacket potatoes. I would love the cooked English breakfast to be served all year round as that's the best in Exmouth 😀

A lovely relaxed atmosphere. Great food and good service. The stairs are the only down side but fine if you are fit and able.

Reasonably priced food and drinks above a bookshop. Unfortunately, they don't do proper cooked breakfasts but the lunch menu, choice of cakes and hot drinks are exceptional.
