Really a hidden gem. A family run café that's part of the Wellbeing Centre but hidden away at the back. These a well turned out Snack Shack that wouldn't be out of place at Glastonbury. It's something of an oasis where everything is very well presented. Great place to stop and have a great coffee and a bite.

What a lovely spot! We forgot to bring coffee beans from home while babysitting our niece and nephew in Chudleigh and decided stop here on the way to the park. I had a delicious flat white and will return for the cake next time. Definitely worth stopping by!

A lovely retreat off of the high street. Very friendly staff and great coffee and food. A quiet oasis where you could easily lose track of time. In fact, my parking has run out, must dash...

A great find for coffee and lunch, in a beautiful setting. Delicious and healthy salad bowls, and good barista coffee. If I were local I’d definitely return!

Hidden gem with simply fantastic food. Had Moroccan chickpea stew with toasted sourdough. Beautiful tasty. Blankets and log burner to sit under cover outside or in a cute hut. Lush cakes. Do not hesitate. Delighted to find it open on a cold Friday lunchtime!
