So nice to find somewhere with good value food, plenty of vegetarian options, lots of sofas so there's space to breastfeed and a dedicated children's play area with toys and books- amazing!

This is an Exmouth gem....We go here on a regular basis and it’s always great value for money and lovely food! It can get busy but that’s only because it’s so popular!!! Food great, prices great and service great what more could you ask for!

What a gem. Had coffee and cake. Peaceful, homely and quiet setting. Friendly service. The coffee was really good especially for the price. Would definitely stop again.

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.

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.

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 😊

Stumbled across this place by accident and what a great find. Its upstairs in a book shop. Kind of old fashioned decor, which gave it a unique cosy feel. Offers a wide range of vegan and vegetarian options, plus amazing homemade cakes. Even offer a vegan cream tea. Very reasonable prices. Appeared very popular. A real treasure. I like the fact that Exmouth has maintained many of its independent shops and cafes.

First impression is that place looks a bit dated. That said it is not a real issue. Great news is that it was warm. Extensive menu with very good options for vegans and vegetarians. Busy environment at times.Friendly staff. Comfy section with sofas just perfect for that newspaper session.

Love this place. Tucked away up a staircase at the back of the bishop, this is Exmouth's best kept secret. Lovely wholesome and fresh food, including lots of veggie, vegan, gf options. Great little kids play pen area, but also has an adults only 'quiet zone' which is perfect for doing a bit of work on the laptop with a coffee, or just people watching it the 1st for window.

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.

A very busy place, loved by Exmouth locals, a special area for the children to play in. The hot chocolate is delicious on a cold winters day. The only draw back is the steep staircase.

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.

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