Customer Review Summary
Breakfast draws most of the praise, with reviewers repeatedly calling out the full English, veggie breakfast, and smoothies as standouts, alongside a cream tea several describe as fresh and warm. Close behind, dishes like the sweetcorn chowder, Buddha bowl, burritos, and loaded nachos get singled out, along with homemade sweet treats and cake taken away for later. Reviewers also mention live music from a band on a Saturday night, dog friendly seating, and a quirky, well thought out interior with a wish wall. Several note friendly, helpful staff even when arriving late for breakfast and still being served well. One reviewer regrets only being in Lynton on holiday and wished to stay longer for the food. No recurring complaints appear across the reviews.

“We enjoyed a saturday night here as they had a band on (the dirty smalls). Im not sure they usually do food on a evening but as the band was on, they did burritos and loaded nachos. It was yummy...we managed to bag a great table & loved the simms and the band.”

“Had an amazing veggie breakfast and other half had the full English and smoothie. Quality of food and service was fantastic. Dog friendly too so was an awesome find for us as dog owners too. Really gorgeous vibe all round, well worth a visit.”

“Lovely atmosphere, comfortable and quirky environment. Good was fantastic! Never thought of trying sweetcorn chowder but this was amazing! Beetroot and ginger smoothie gorgeous and the cream tea was the best I’ve had in a long time. Worth moving to Lynton for but only here on holiday sadly!”

“For a breakfast spot, this place is genuinely very good — in fact, so good I completely forgot to take a photo before finishing the meal. The smoothies are a real highlight, with generous portions and plenty of choice, all nicely made. The …”

“Lovely place to grab a hot drink and sweet treat. The breakfast looks really good and there is so much variety. I love the idea of having a tea cake breakfast burger filled with hash browns, bacon and much more. Would highly recommend.”
