Baobab Cafe in Mid Devon

The most friendliest place for the best food in Crediton. Incredible food and great service - feels like a real home from home where you can properly relax. The staff are so lovely, especially the owner who goes above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. Even with kids - theres a lovely play area with lots of cute toys and books with sofas for parents to chill out and have a drink while kids play - perfect. They also do the best tumeric lattes!

Amazing place to eat! I often come here with my family on a Saturday. It’s our favourite place to eat! All of the staff are so friendly and welcoming. My 7 year old daughter loves the play area! There is plenty to do for all ages! They offer a different selection on the menu each time, so you always get to try something different. There are meat and vegetarian options. The pitta bread is the best I’ve tried! The salads are so tasty and fresh.

Tasty food and relaxed atmosphere

Great food, lovely people. What more could you ask for? Thank you.

Lovely friendly and welcoming place.Amazing food and comfortable surroundings with an area for children to play.

This place is a one-of-a-kind gem in Devon! Delicious food, very wholesome and all reasonably priced. It is clear the owners care about their customers and they work hard to bring authentic flavours from the Levant. Highly recommend and thank you for a wonderful time :-)

Baobab Café in Crediton proved to us that passion for food in Devon is alive and Erin the chef sent my taste buds into orbit today. We use our valuable time on the fine dining circuit and today we went boldly into the celebrated Baobab in Crediton . We were all thrilled by the flavours Erin the chef delivered using expertly chosen spice. This Café is unassuming and yet it delivers flavours and heartiness beyond expectations. This is not fine dining and yet Erin the chef delivers the most unexpected and probably the finest dining experience in Devon! If I was dining abroad I would make Baobab Café a definite dining destination. Baobab Café is in Crediton in Devon A journey that any budding foodie must make and experience a seriously wonderful and earnest chef sharing his passion and love of food with those who can see it. Simply sublime.

We have been to Baobab many time over the last couple of years including on of the evening meals last winter. We love the food, the staff are always so friendly and helpful. Ive eaten there in the midst of a bad cold before and the next day...no cold, very healthy nutritious food. Love this place.🥰

If you want a special cafe experience in Crediton then check out the Baobab. The owner Eran and his staff are very professional. Food is delicious. It can get very busy at lunchtime so you may want to make a reservation, or just take your chance.

This is a great place to eat or just have a coffee. I love the atmosphere and the staff are really great and helpful. We’ve been calling in regularly since lockdown eased. A great find!

A local essential staple of Crediton. Incredible food, and every day is a new dish for the day. Eran is the most wonderful owner and one of the kindest people you could ever hope to meet. Hands down the best humous you will ever eat! The place is always rammed which shows you how popular it is! We've been coming here for years, and whenever we have guests come to visit they always insist on coming back to Baobab!

Baobab Cafe is a true gem! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and the food is fantastic! A true celebration of middle Eastern flavours and very reasonably priced too. We would definitely come again!

Friendly welcoming, delicious food and coffee. A real treat

Lovely atmosphere, great food and drinks. Great smiley, friendly service from serving staff and owner. Fabulous local business serving the best hummus I’ve ever had anywhere. Roasted quince veggie main, and fabulously interesting salads were lovely, healthy and delicious. Amazing baklava!

Lovely food, inspired by traditional dishes of Palestine and the wider Levant.

We were on the look for a healthy lunch and baobab was the top choice, we had an outstanding experience. Staff were extremely helpful with my dietary restrictions, also great entertainment with the chef’s joyful singing. We will be back very soon for another delicious lunch and not forgetting the carefully crafted coffees that were made for us, definitely missing out if you haven’t experienced the baobab hospitality!!

Old broken sofa & junk all over the place. Scruffy & dirty has never been trendy. Shame the food wasn’t better. Very basic. Interesting response from owner. Seems he’d rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism. But certainly fits into today’s narrative, if you don’t agree with ME then you’re not welcome here.

Absolute Gem ! Super Tasty Authentic Food & Service With A Smile !!!

An incredible lunch - and the service was brilliant - you have to see the amazing painting on their ceiling!

The friendliest, loveliest most welcoming cafe with the most wonderful staff, will be coming back :-)

Amazing café, the staff were so kind and chatty & a delicious menu full of wonderful food and drink options. Highly recommend this place!

Quirky little place, interesting menu with great vegan and gluten free options. Really helpful staff giving advice and recommendations.

What an unexpected surprise! We stumbled on this gem of a restaurant and absolutely loved it! The food was stunning and the service was fantastic, and we will most definitely come back again. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Utterly lovely cafe. Nice setting on the market squre. Great choice of music (unobtrusively playing), good cuppa and lots of very friendly interaction. What a great place, if I lived here I would be in every day.

This cafe cannot be faulted. The staff are amazing, the food is superb and prices very reasonable. If you are visiting the area do not miss this gem. You will not be disappointed.

Lovely place,very friendly and had a good cuppa.

I was feeling a bit delicate when I went to this cafe as I was just getting over a stomach virus. I asked if they had anything simple and not too spicy. The choices for me were a complicated chick pea salad or a complicated but less spicy cou cous salad. I opted for the latter and it was gorgeous. So apparently was the chickpea sald that my companians opted for. I've been there on previous visits to my daughter and I'n never dissapointed. Lovely food, lovely position in a sunny town square, friendly, speedy service.

date and tahini smoothy was delicious, as was the hummous and pita, we will be back.

Really excellent, tasty food cooked by someone who cares about what he produces. Loved it. (Whole/world-food focused)

Delicious set lunches with great vegetarian mains and imaginative, tasty salads to accompany them. Also has a lovely selection of Middle East inspired drinks. Highly recommended.

Such a lovely little cafe, serving the most delicious food. Great for kids as it has a corner with some toys in.

Visited whilst staying locally, staff very friendly, food excellent, delicious salads. Great atmosphere. Something a bit different from the usual offerings, it felt like you were abroad. Really enjoyed the beetroot salad.

We'd been painting pottery nearby when we decided to catch a late lunch . Everywhere had stopped serving but this place was open . We ordered lunch without looking a menu and sat outside in the sun . We were treated to delicious food, fantastic service and at a good price . I totally recommend!

Great vegetarian options, full of flavour and cooked from scratch on the premises. Host/owner very accommodating and pleasant to speak to. Good value. Nice ambience, friendly and warm. Nice location in town square.

Wonderful food and very friendly staff.

Great healthy and delicious food reasonably priced too! We always come away satisfied.

Splendid, totally delicious food in a laid back friendly atmosphere, what is not to love.

Incredible food and atmosphere. Both the chef and the server were hugely attentive and made everyone feel very welcome. Food fantastic and very reasonably priced. Will definitely be going back

It is the most beautiful place, with a captivating atmosphere and affable staff. The food is fresh, homemade, and delicious. Priced very well. Definitely a place to visit!

My first visit and very pleased with the lovely home cooked food. Had a lovely pita with meat and super tasty. Lovely feel to the cafe and well worth a visit but certainly not a cheap lunch but good food.

Wonderful food, fantastic people. A true gem - thoroughly recommend!

This is my favourite cafe in Crediton! Really lovely staff and a great atmosphere. Recently had an amazing vegan breakfast here and they always serve the best oat milk lattes! My only criticism is that they are not open more days of the week so I could visit more often!

Fantastic veggie lunch. So tasty. Great atmosphere and super friendly and efficient server. Will definitely be back. Fab food…….

Beautiful food! Worth the visit! 100% recommend! Will be visiting again :)

Amazing cafe, friendly service, good food, would reccomend to anyone

Should stick to serving vegan only

Love this place. Eran is a superstar and the multinational cooking he does is amazing....Egyptian Night, Lebanese Night and Levantine Night were all unbelievable experiences. Can't wait for the next one!! ❤️❤️

Love this place. Fantastic food with a really nice atmosphere and a singing chef!

As always, food was delicious lovely atmosphere and great service, cant fault it. The mud coffee was a delicious new thing for me, they ask below, what you would recommend, and the answer would be everything

Lovely casual Cafe. Simple but very tasty menu. Wonderful owner and staff. Vegetarian/vegan well catered for. Parking nearby, looking forward to returning soon.

Lovely Moroccon cafe in the centre of crediton. A gem of a place. Prices slightly steep but costs of running have gone up.

Pleasant food & ambiance - service friendly but patron a little tricky. Beware final bill check-out man - I was short of cash which I put towards service & having paid the bill by card, I asked to add a bit more & so paid a second time - contactless. I later discovered I had been charged more than double the amount I had volunteered as extra tip....ah well...

The food is fantastic. The staff are really friendly and very knowledgeable about their produce. Great atmosphere - it was really busy when we were there and buzzing.

Utterly perfect coffee, amazing smoothie full of flavour, brilliant, happy, smiling and quick service.

The owner of this place is the loveliest person you could ever meet and goes way above and beyond every single time. Had a family meal here and unfortunately one of my family members was being awkward and the staff went out of their way to cater for them which they really didn't have to. Another time, I came here with my partner who has a digestive issue, and he came over to learn more about it and said he would help us put together some recipe ideas for us to try at home to possibly help him. Such kind, caring people... and obviously the amazing, fresh food and great coffee with great prices is always going to have us coming back.

Excellent vegetarian food in charming setting on the town square. But please sort out the confusing outside seating arrangements.

A really welcoming vibe to this eclectic venue. Food has a middle eastern influence with tastes of Turkey and North Africa. A real gem of a place if you are looking for really healthy and colourful food with a superb ambience and yes the coffee really is very good! Definitely going back when next in Crediton

Amazing food and really helpful staff. Choices vary day to day one meat one veg and salad. Absolutely delicious.

Fresh delicious food with tasty gf and vegan options. Nice spot by the square where you can sit out. Good coffee and fresh mint tea.

A little bit of the Middle East in the centre of Crediton. Well priced and authentic food , and you can sit outside at a table in the square. Loved it.

Blown away, excellent greeting from staff, absolutely wonderful food and drinks, the atmosphere has a brilliant chilled vibe which will have you relaxed in no time. Prices are a great deal for the quality of what's offered. Will be a must visit when we come back to the area.

Friendly and characterful, sited in the pretty Market Square, this is one of our preferred places for lunch in Crediton. Food delicious as always, though our salad consisted of red cabbage slaw with lots of parsley, and a few spinach leaves, a little more variety would have been welcome. The music, though pleasant, was too loud, especially for someone hard of hearing, making conversation difficult. We ended our meal with baklava and sahlab, both utterly delicious. Good value.

We are so lucky to have this gem in our Town. Always super fresh and inspirational flavours.

Absolutely delicious omelette for breakfast this morning. This place was a real find!

Fabulous little find. Delicious and interesting food served by very friendly staff. Clearly a place that people who know frequent regularly. I hope that becomes me

Wow, what a little gem. Delicious food and super friendly staff. Such soft pita and scummy labaneh. And deeeeelicious coffee. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Devon.

Delicious food from across North Africa and the Middle East. Lovely surroundings and a very warm welcome. Easily our favourite place to eat in Crediton.

Really delicious vegetarian/vegan food. They also serve meaty dishes. Good tea & soft drinks selection. Lovely, friendly atmosphere and staff.

Great quality food and drink. Lovely service.

One of my absolute favourite places to eat. The food is always phenomenal and Eran is always welcoming. We particularly love the around the world evenings.

Great service from eran, lovely food and a play area for kids.

Well worth a visit. Lovely food served by very friendly and efficient staff.

Very warm customer service, very cosy establishment. Great food and great prices on everything in the menu.

Beautiful food and coffee in a warm, friendly cafe. Eran and co. are so welcoming. Lovely little kids corner. What's not to love?!❤️

Good food & very friendly service

Popped in at random and I was blown away by the flavour of the food. Quite literally one of the nicest meals I have ever eaten. I need more Iranian food. Just Wow.

Friendly service, unusual and interesting foods full of flavour. A good atmosphere for meeting with friends. Welcoming to children (and dogs) with a selection of toys available during waiting times. Vegan food which is attractive to all, with meat alternatives available.

We stopped here for my wife's birthday hoping to try something new. We were utterly blown away by the quality of the food, service and atmosphere. The food was unlike anything we had ever had. We ordered different dishes to share and were very close to getting more dishes which we would have if we weren't full. The service from the staff was second to none. They couldn't be more pleasant and were always wanting us to be comfortable and happy with our time there. It's well worth trying a smoothie with your food as well. The perfect accompaniment to fantastic food. Will be going again and again for sure.

We are regulars at Baobab - the service, family friendly vibes and wonderfully delicious food cannot be faulted. We highly recommend Baobab and bring all our friends, local and from afar to taste the sensations that Baobab create!

We absolutely love the Baobab and don't come as often as we'd like, but every time we do it's absolutely delicious. Their juices and food are phenomenal, exactly the kind of nutritious food you want that's packed full of flavour - a welcome change to so many cafes that do 'samey' food of pastries and paninis (which are still great, but gets old after a while!). Eran is so warm and friendly and passionate about the food they make. Only moved here a year ago and I'm so lucky to have a place like this on my doorstep.

I hate to write this as we are locals normally love this place, but we just ate here without Eran supervising as he normally would. We had to wait an hour to get our food and drinks and when the food arrived the minced beef was completely raw inside. We had chased up our order several times and takeaways and other customers had come and gone while waiting. We got a refund for the inedible meal, but we are so dissatisfied with the whole experience we normally send the visitors to our air bnb here, but will rethink in case Eran isnt about to keep on top of things. 😫

Absolutely amazing place and Eran greets you like a lost brother. Hospitable and great vibe. There hasn’t been a dish that I haven’t loved. Try it for something different then wonder why it took you so long to find this place

Looked for cafe and quick lunch and found this this place. Good coffee with nice Crèma (but I asked for two shots when only one is standard). Although I'm meat lover I had a veggie lunch (chicken in meaty one wasn't free range) and I it. Tasty, nicely spiced but not spicy, filling for less than £10. Lovely children play corner with lot of toys and books.

Great tasting food prepared with passion. Can't wait to visit again.

Just fabulous! A great cafe, stunning food and super friendly staff. Can't wait to go back!

What a gem of a cafe. We met for coffee, stayed for another plus cake! Delicious! Stayed for an unexpected lunch♡. Food is incredible, so tasty and fresh. Staff just lovely, such a friendly place and cannot wait to go back. Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed.

Great coffee.Sat outside on the square,nice atmosphere.

老板每天都会做不同的食物 今天吃到了牙买加五花肉 有种烧烤炭火的香味 肉质非常软烂 但又不油腻 随餐是一片肉 但是太好吃了 又让老板加了一份肉 希望下次还有机会再来

Fantastic authentic food from Lebanon and the middle east...wonderful service and always a friendly welcome. Highly recommended!

Most delicious eaterie. Very friendly great service.

A delightful cafe with some delicious food and tasty thick shakes! Very friendly, highly recommended 😎👍

Best food in crediton, cool spot, lovely staff - good times

Good coffee shop with a friendly atmosphere. All type's of coffee beans available to buy.

Excellent food - succulent tender chicken with delicious Middle Eastern flavours served with two salads - giant couscous with pomegranate tabouleh and tangy Moroccan salad with fennel and red cabbage. Great atmosphere and such friendly service. I will definitely be back!

Amazing breakfast at Baobab before we left to drive onto Cornwall for our family holiday! Coffee was brilliant, catering with all different types of alternative milks. My dad had the shakshuka with merguez, he said it was honestly one of the best cooked breakfasts he’s had! My mum had the Persian style smoothie and I tried some, so fragrant and healthy and delicious! My porridge with homemade hazelnut butter and date honey was filling and perfect, having homemade nut butter honestly makes all the difference and is such a nice touch. Lovely welcoming staff and owner, service was great. I didn’t catch our waitress’ name but she was attentive, friendly and bubbly! Such a lovely start to our holiday thank you so much!

Fabulous. 2nd takeaway to eat in square. What flavour so filling had the califlower with tahini.Jad some of the Lebanese lamb. So filling. Brilliant keep up the good work

Gorgeous place. Food looked incredible but I didnt have time for lunch today, just coffee, which was really good. Staff friendly and a good atmosphere. I will be back soon!

I'm feeling disappointed because l thought l would be making my first visit since lockdown began today but surprisingly the Baobabab Cafe is closed . . . I love this place because the staff are friendly, the food excellent (delicious flavours l haven't found anywhere else, wonderfully fresh salads and veg.). It's perfect for adults and children: the play equipment is good quality and well thought out so adults can relax with the sound of happy children in the background. It feels calm. The perfect place to de stress and enjoy life.

This place sings happiness - welcoming chef/proprietor Eran, a great and enthusiastic young team and excellent Levantine and world grub that sings on the plate.Busy on first day fully open, and deservedly so. Go soon and don't forget to tip generously - every little helps!

Generous portions of wholesome middle eastern food. You are welcomed by the friendly proprietor. Service is cheerful and brisk. A wholesome menu with plenty of variety. You leave the restaurant happy and well fed with nutritious food and a smile on your face.
