Quick info
About The Holmans Courtyard Cafe
The Holmans Courtyard Cafe is a cafe and breakfast restaurant set on The Gerstons in Paignton, with courtyard garden seating at the back for guests who want to eat outside. The menu runs an extensive cafe fare list, covering breakfast through the day, and dishes are cooked from fresh and brought out on hot plates. Among the items available is a half roulade for those after something a little different from the standard cafe offering. Dogs are welcome on site, so four-legged visitors can settle in alongside their owners in the courtyard. The Gerstons setting gives it a quiet residential feel, away from the busier seafront pitches, and the format suits a slow breakfast or a relaxed stop at any point through the day.
