About

Notably one of the top cafe’s in Topsham. Our laidback, pet-friendly atmosphere will draw you in whilst a delicious selection of homemade cakes and local tea and coffee will entice you to stay. Stay a while and enjoy one of our famous Route 2 breakfasts, from Full English fry-ups to very-American fluffy pancakes with maple syrup. All of our ingredients are as local as they come, delivered daily from the Topsham butchers and greengrocers.

Selected by The Guardian as 'one of the top 10 cycling cafés in the UK', we are located just off Topsham Quay, a stone's throw from the River Exe estuary, directly on the National Cycle Network Route 2 cycle path that connects Exeter, Exmouth and the whole of the West Country.
