Baobab Cafe in Mid Devon

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.

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

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

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!

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

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!

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

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

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.

We were on a short tour of Devon. Sometimes it is difficult as a musician to find healthy food on the road but we landed firmly on our feet. Eran, the host, greeted us very warmly. We each had a different dish and everyone commented for a long time after how good it was. Excellent Arabic/North African music playing too. Really good buzz about the place. :)

I just love the food here, it is fresh, healthy and thoroughly delicious...A veritable fiesta for your taste buds. All in such a friendly and fresh environment...One of my favourite places to eat!

Eran's food is always delicious and very unusual, and it is a nice place to just hang out. Very good for kids too.

Cultural cuisine exploring hidden flavours, discovering realms of extraordinary relish. Each day one meat dish and one vegan dish are presented alongside a colourful seasonal salad accompaniment. This is a café that must be visited when you visit Devon, it is certainly a surprise.

My wife and I visited first visited for a light lunch. The owner (and his staff) were incredibly friendly and the food was unusual to some degree but very good. We have since revisited and had another great meal (mainly natural salads). The seating is somewhat tight, but there is a good little area for mums and kiddies.

Brilliant place for families with a section of toys to keep the wee ones occupied when you visit. The staff are amazing and the food is delicious. Recommend! :)

Can't recommend Baobab strongly enough. Wonderful food and always a very warm welcome. We love it, and well worth a journey from miles around!

Visited here twice (we liked it so much we came back!) on a Thursday and Saturday morning during the same weekThis is a great little cafe that has a small menu of great, unique freshly cooked food The owner and staff make you feel really welcome - the place has a really nice atmosphere - and for those that want it free WiFi On our first visit we both had the Shakshuka - me with the Moroccan sausage (without if you want the veggie option) - this is an egg dish cooked and served in a tomato sauce served with flat bread - highly recommended and available all dayOn our second visit I had the same dish as before - my better half had the omelette salad / East African breakfast - again highly recommended (see photos)We had our breakfasts with fresh Brazilian coffee (recommended) We really liked it here and would eat here again

Lovely tasty food in relaxed atmosphere. Interesting menu which changes daily. Salads were very fresh with unusual ingredients. Good value. Definitely will return.

Crediton is so lucky to have this gem of a cafe with healthy and delicious food, a friendly vibe and great for families. Eran prepares food with love and endless enthusiasm!

This cafe has brought a breath of fresh air to Crediton. Middle Eastern food is made freshly everyday with carefully sourced ingredients. They are family friendly, and accomodate everybody's dietry needs where they can. The food has always been wonderful. The occassional evening feasts are plentiful and imaginatively prepared and presented with rustic charm. Very tasty and very healthy. Def worth checking out.

Staff were lively and welcoming from the moment we entered to when we left. Food was served quickly, and did not disappoint. We had a shakshukah each, the eggs were perfectly poached and the tomato rich and filling. Enjoyed having such tasty food for a reasonable price. Would definitely recommend.

Baobab is my favourite place to visit for delicious food that I honestly think I could eat every day. Eran is a master in the kitchen whose passion for what he does shows in every dish. The atmosphere is one of warmth and friendliness and all the staff go out of their way to make your visit a special one. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch or one of his amazing supper evenings, the food is always scrumptious. I and my family can’t keep away!

We went for lunch. It was 4 o clock and the lady said they weren’t doing any, but maybe they could pull something off for us. She offered some vegetarian fritters with two salads and a green salad. She said they could also do hummus. She asked us to sit down to have a look at the menu, and in the menu they had a few dishes they were cooking all day... we asked if we could ordered some and she said she was already doing us some lunches... well, thanks for letting us choose. It would have been ok if the lunches weren’t absolutely crap. The salads, one was very greasy, and the other very sour. No green salad. The fritter was discussing. It was cold, dry, and it had 2pieces of butternut squash in it. The hummus it was more like a tahini sauce than hummus. Plus when we went to pay it came to almost £30... surely that fritter can’t cost any more than a fiver? It was seriously not good. Also, she should have told us they had some other food for sale. We felt that they just gave us whatever they were going to put in the bin for the day, maybe that’s why they didn’t give us a choice?

Love this place! Friendly and relaxed. Eran definitely knows his food! The food is delicious, I’ve enjoyed every meal I’ve had there and friends I’ve recommended to go have also loved it. Food is very flavoursome and you get a good portion size as well. Well worth giving Baobab a visit, you won’t be disappointed!

I absolutely cannot recommend this little cafe enough. Delicious, healthy food with plenty of options for vegans/vegetarians. All the food is locally sourced and so changes with the seasons. Incredibly friendly staff, and wonderfully divine homemade houmous! Will definitely be coming again.

Eran does loads of Mediterranean food/Israeli/middle east, all of it is great, healthy (which is not my top reason for eating there) but really tasty food that just always leaves you wanting to go back for more. Great placxe and great food.

Baobab is a total gem in the heart of Crediton, such a friendly place with a lot of soul. The food is fresh and fantastic, with loads of healthy variety. Eran, the owner, is such a kind, interesting guy, always ready to tell you all about his lovely creations. Organic and vegan are words that pop up a lot on the menu, it is so creatively put together. Amazing for families, with a play area and kids menu. We'll be back many times!

The atmosphere, food and coffee in Baobab are all fabulous. Everyone is relaxed and friendly. My #1 choice when in Crediton. :)

Really good food and service. Hummus was agreed by all to be the best we have ever had. Main veggie meal was also excellent. Loved the mud coffee too.

My husband, my student daughter and I popped into Crediton yesterday to have a mooch around, arriving in the mid-afternoon but not yet having eaten since breakfast time.

We love this little cafe. Fantastic food and a lovely environment for family including small children. We often visit. Thank you

Eran, the owner, is just wonderful on so many levels. His food is unique and made with such love and passion. The freshness and diversity of flavours are like no other restaurant around. Very reasonably priced, colourful, nothing like you would make at home and really healthy and unsual.

Just had a lovely breakfast/brunch on a freezing cold morning,The lady that served us was so helpful and friendly,We both had the shakshouka and it was one of the best I've tasted in steaming hot skillets and the lightest pillow like homemade pitta breads.The café is unpretencious and the fresh cooked simple menu really works,We travelled 30 miles to eat here and it was worth it and we will return for lunch in a couple of weeks

There is always a choice between a veggie or a meat based special; we went for the veggie one this time. It comes with portions of three imaginative salads. I also sampled the Persian smoothie with mint, and an authentic warming Arabic drink to finish with. A lovely meal with very friendly service. An ideal place for families with children, we loved watching them play though our own grandchildren were not with us this time. Thank you.

I dropped on this place on a recent visit to Crediton and after looking at the menu in the window I decided to give it a go. I was attracted by the fact that it was a different style of place than you usually come across in Devon ( & the SW in general). I wasn’t disappointed. The food was great. It’s very Middle Eastern / North African in style with great flavours and textures.

Superb and delicious food. Welcoming and friendly service with good atmosphere. Gluten free easily catered for 😊

This lovely chilled, child friendly cafe is extremely pleasant, with fresh homemade food and great customer service. Thank you I thoroughly enjoyed this lovely warm welcoming cafe. The portions are quite large and if you don’t finish your meal, the staff and owner really worry, they shouldn’t everything is fresh and yummy. Thank you.

Family friendly, warm, informal and very welcoming. The Middle Eastern style cuisine is delicious and never disappoints.

We have visited cafe Baobab numerous times and this time was superb, as always. The variety of flavours, attention to detail and thought put into the food is first class. £7.95 to eat in for the lunch is excellent value for money. Eran and his staff are genuinely friendly, warm and passionate about what they do - an absolute asset to Crediton, just keep doing what you are doing!!

An openly warm, friendly and welcoming cafe (child friendly) with Middle Eastern Cuisine. The taste of their food brings a whole new dimension to eating. They do orders to take away and cater for parties/functions. The staff never stop smiling, of which is infectious as everyone smiles. Great people, Great place and a must go to if you are in the area.

The last time I ate here (on recommendation) I had a hair in my food - the staff preparing food seem not to have adhered to hygiene certification rules about hair nets.

This is one of my most favourite places to visit for lunch, either to sit in or take away if I am in a rush. The bubbly dark haired Yorkshire lady is always amazingly friendly even when the cafe is super busy. The food is just awesome, I love the freshly cooked food and local seasonal produce used means the specials change daily. The daily specials are off the chart when it comes to colour and flavour, and the hummous is simply amazing. When you step inside this cafe it’s like stepping in to a friends kitchen for lunch the warm and friendly atmosphere means it is always a pleasure to visit!
