Quick info
About The Boutport Cafe
The Boutport Cafe is a small family-run cafe and tea house at 58 Boutport St in Barnstaple. Dogs are welcome inside, and each one is given a free sausage, so owners can bring their companions along for a meal. The kitchen makes food to order, with a full breakfast for the morning and a cream tea of scones, jam and cream. Scones and cakes are available to eat in. The cafe also runs as a coffee shop and lunch restaurant, so the same room works for a morning coffee or a midday meal.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return most for the cream tea and scones with jam and cream, with one calling the scone beautiful and another saying the tea was spot on. Close behind are the full breakfast, described as a decent size, and a latte, along with a lovely sandwich and cakes to eat in or take away. Food is called delicious, made to order, and tasty, and one group says every plate left the table empty. The small family-run feel comes up repeatedly, with owners described as friendly and attentive and unable to do enough for customers. Dogs are consistently welcome, and several reviewers mention their dogs being treated as warmly as the people. It is also described as quirky and homely, and a couple of visitors say it was a welcome refuge from the rain. No complaints appear in the reviews. Several reviewers end on the same detail: the dogs were offered a free sausage.

“We don’t know Barnstaple at all and a local directed us to this cafe well we are very thankful as it was so lovely The staff/owners were so so friendly and the cream tea was amazing. We were even offered a sausage for our dog who was welcome too. Seems a warm and cosy cafe and I’d be here a lot if I was nearby 😊”

“What a lovely find, a nice small family run business, and they are very attentive. The food was delicious and made to order, and tasty scones and cakes to eat in or takeaway. Other customers had their dogs with them and they were just as welcome as their humans ☺️🐶”
