Bumble and Bee in East Devon

Very quaint place and friendly staff. Cup cake was really nice.

So good. Been here a few times now, great food and drinks every time. Great smoothies, breakfasts, cakes, and coffee

Staff are always calm and kind. The food is always so tasty and perhaps some of the best pancakes I’ve ever had. The maple butter is so dreamy too.

My go-to Cafe in Exmouth and the nicest coffee i’ve had in the area. Great place to be and such nice staff. had the pleasure of meeting Debs who was such a lovely lady full of local recommendations and good energy. Couldn’t recommend more

I came here on a recommendation as one of the best spots in Exmouth. The cozy atmosphere was wonderful, and the scones and tea were absolutely delicious. The staff were also very friendly. This place helped me create such a great memory in Exmouth!

Cakes and pastries look great but were a little disappointing. Service was friendly but it's tricky to feel relaxed because the tables are so close together.

Had breakfast here with friends on New Years Day & it was excellent! Beautifully presented & tasted great, plus really good service. Thank you.

I'm walking my dog from the beach through Manor Gardens and think I could do with a coffee and a sit down as it's winter and cold outside. Oh look perfect there's a café right here in the park, what's that no dogs allowed inside! Looks like I'm leave the dog walking park and head into town for a dog friendly cafe. Shame as it looks lovely too 😭

Bacon and egg roll, very expensive and bland and overcooked egg to the point where grease was all I could taste. Disgusting food and disgusting prices

Came in with some family recently for brunch and we loved it. Sat in the naughty corner which was a great touch, and just about sums my nieces up!! We ordered an array of food, from blueberry & cream pancakes, bacon sandwiches, fruit scones to a bumble stack. The pancakes were fluffy & a massive portion with lots of whipped cream. The stack was delicious, especially loved the bubble and squeak! Everything was so well presented too. We’ll definitely be back, thank you Bumble & Bee team!

Delicious lavender scone with generous portion of creamy clotted cream..friendly service and was lucky with the weather and could sit outdoors to enjoy my coffee and scone..

Absolutely shocking service and the breakfast was just awful full stop bubble and squeak was just sloppy mash just spoilt the whole experience

Eggs Benedict is perfect! Cute location and friendly atmosphere

Great coffee. Always supports Emergency services with a caffeine boost which we all massively appreciate.

Lovely independent cafe. Great atmosphere and setting. Good coffee and scones

Wonderful cafe. Delicious food, presented beautifully. Great value. Breakfasts, frittatas, soups and more served til 3pm.

The best coffee and cakes in town! ❤️

Decent coffee and great tasting cakes, although everything was quite overpriced. The cafe is pretty small which made for a cramped and noisy afternoon cream tea which wasn’t as relaxing as we had hoped.

Best breakfast I have had for a long time. Absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend this place & definitely coming back very soon

Amazing food and really kind staff.

Ordered lattes and cakes, the lattes were nice, but in very small cups for the price...The cakes tasted good, but what was most disappointing was the fact that none of the cakes had descriptions or prices on and the staff member had to check the till for the prices. Staff should know these details off the top of their head and descriptions and prices should be on goods for sale...

Looking for a light bite and found this gem in the gardens. As soon as it was spotted on the menu, the 3 of us ordered the fish finger sandwiches for nostalgic reasons, the staff said the there would be a wait for them. The wait was worth it and the sandwiches didn't disappoint, huge flaky fish fingers on a choice of bread served with tartar sauce. I also had a can of their refreshing cider. Look forward to returning in a few months.

Bumble and bee is a nice little place , sadly it’s let down by how cramped it is inside, with way too many tables. Clearly going for profit rather than comfort

We visited exmouth from the 1st of September to the 14th of September 24 from swindon and you were recommended to us to have food the food we had was outstanding and the coffee was amazing along with the homemade scones that were delicious and we thought that they were so good we purchased quite a few to take home with us staff we found to be very friendly and helpful a big thank you to you all see you when we come again

A great choice for those with dietary needs. Take care to present meals with style. The best gf, vegan pancakes I have had on a previous visit. Tasty fritata made with passion.

An amazing selection of homemade cakes and the portion sizes are ample! We wanted to try them all! My only criticism would be I had a mug of tea whereas I needed probably a gallon of tea to wash it down with! Great cafe though and the menu looks really good too.

Certainly the best scones I have had this holiday, maybe ever. They never seem to have any fruit scones. #sold out by lunchtime.

Food is delicious but 30 minutes wait for 2 poached egg and avocado toast is a bit too much , it was also really really loud inside the café .

Wow! Found this place by accident as driving past and it was the highlight of our stay. Busy but luckily we booked. Great fresh food. Would recommend to others without hesitation. Children really enjoyed pancakes

Beautiful and lovely place, delicious food and super-friendly stuff! We came three times here because we love it sitting there and having a great time

A regular visitor to Bumble and Bee .. today I popped in to pick up some fresh cronuts foe my daughter's birthday breakfast treat to take home. The gentleman who served me was maybe the owner and so helpful, the cafe had not quite opened and he came round to the takeaway hatch to help me choose the cronuts and then boxed them beautifully to carefully take them home as a morning surprise :) Thank you!

Always very nervous dining out (celiac). Gluten free pancakes with blueberries whipped cream and maple butter. INCREDIBLE! Seriously wish I could eat here every day.

First class. Great vegan and gluten free choices without making you feel 'difficult'! The best cream tea and smiley faces all round! Oh... and the coffee! Sooooo good... thank you Bumble and Bee team.

A lovely spot for lunch or cake and coffee, at the edge of the park and only a short walk from the beach. The staff were friendly and efficient and the food was very tasty! The fish finger sandwiches are huge! I can also recommend the avo and poached eggs on toast. I loved the rustic decor.

Best cream tea in devon. You walk in and you just feel at home. Couldn't be in a better spot, just a stroll from the beachfront.

We thought this place was lovely. Set back from the sea front in a quiet leafy park. The cream tea was great, just what was required!

Looked promising but a massive dissapointment. I rarely review so if I do its exceptionally good or bad. Today was the bad. We went in for cream teas with pots of tea and cakes for the kids. It was busy with almost all of the tables taken. Ordered cream tea for 2 and x2 cakes and drinks for the kids. £19 2 scones, cream, jam, plates, knives were dumped on our table with 1 mug of tea (menu says pot for 2) and a tiny milk, bag still in the mug before the server vanished. We thought odd, maybe they are bringing a 2nd and waited a minute but saw the woman move onto other customers. We asked a lad nearby if we could have our 2nd tea and if it was supposed to be in a pot. He said he would check, but never return. Finally we had to push in the queue and ask again. Being told we had ordered a cream tea for 1 (the price and knive plate count says otherwise) The lady disgrunted and without a word dumped a cup and single pot of tea on the table - by this point the unwanted mug was overbrewed and cold (almost 30mins had passed) We gave up with getting the staff to fix their mistake and my wife ordered a 2nd pot of tea. Finally getting one for 2 people. No way we ordered a cream tea for one, so either staff didn't listen or get it right by were unwilling to admit a mistake or fix it. After all that scones were unimpressive and whole experience left a sour taste. If its busy avoid, staff clearly cannot cope.

The most amazing Brunch we've ever had!!! This truly is one of the best spots we have ever had brunch and we are a well travelled family. You can tell the food is made from scratch and prepared fresh. We indulged in Gluten Free Pancakes, Eggs Rara ( Bumbles take on Eggs Benedict , but served on a warm cheese scone with Crispy bacon ) and their Vegan breakfast stack. we also had their famous Honey and Lavender Scones boxed up for a take away cream tea later. You can tell a lot of love has gone into this little cafe, and it is evident that the staff love working here as they are always happy and polite and you often hear lots of laughter from them all. We could not recommend Bumble and Bee more. : )

Lovely quiet breakfast/brunch spot that wasn't too busy when we visited. Food service was quick and everything was delicious and well presented.

My partner and I happened to be visiting Exmouth and decided to try out Bumble and Bee. We shared a breakfast bap which was tasty and the pancakes with Nutella and banana. The real star of breakfast was the scones! We tried one cheesy scone and absolutely loved it—probably one of the best scones either of us have had. We bought a lavender and honey scone for take away which was also amazing. Highly recommend bumble and bee—especially for their scones!

A nice meal, slightly uncomfortable seats and the descriptions of the foods could’ve been a little better. Nice setting, though!

The friendliest staff (filled the water bottles of two hot and tired cyclists with iced water!) and a wonderful selection of cakes

They have the best scones, delicious lavender scones. They have delicious lavender cakes and a different experience. I recommend it 👍

Lovely brunch spots right next to the park just a two minute walk from the beachfront. We had the whipped feta and porridge as well as a flat white, all of which was excellent and service was with a smile and really pleasant. We managed to get a seats outside and enjoy the Sun. Highly recommended would love to come again.

Advice - They do NOT take cash, card only. Went in to buy coffee on Thursday 18th July 2024 and having ordered and handed over a £5 bank note, I was told in no uncertain terms 'Card only' rather rudely by the assistant, no apology. There were several of us in the queue wanting drinks, local volunteers, clearly displaying the group we represented. We were not even offered a glass of water! We volunteers cannot carry bank cards with us whilst working, we carry small amounts of money enough to buy a drink. They could have at least said 'sorry' we don't take cash, that would have been much nicer. It was proven this week with the mass computer outage, that cash still plays an important part in our lives. There are many other cafes locally and along the sea front that still take cash, please support them instead of Bumble and Bee.

Der Harissa/Avocadotoast war zum niederknien. Sehr gutes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis. Sympathische Bedienung. Hausgemachte Süsswaren nur schwer zu widerstehen.

Food was delicious and the staff were so lovely. Would definitely recommend :)

Lovely service. We resisted the delicious cakes.

Found on google looking for gluten free breakfast. Excellent food and lovely surroundings. Wish we lived nearer as we would come regularly

Totally cater for coeliacs, best avocado smash I've ever had.

Gorgeous gorgeous fluffy vegan pancakes, and the fact that THREE Chappell Roan songs played whilst we were there, I knew it was the place to be✨

Ordered a small cream tea with a coffee. Despite the extra shot the coffee still tasted weak and despite being in Devon, calling it a cream tea and the cream coming out of a Rhoddas tub it was whipped cream. Worst cream tea this side of LA. Also whilst I understand it’s busy in the summer I don’t think that’s an excuse for grumpy service. When it was pointed out the toilet was in dire need of a clean they got defensive. Don’t think I could recommend for the tea, maybe breakfast is better…

The very grumpy and borderline rude young lady that took my order ruined the whole experience It's a real shame because the cream teas we had were rather good. I sought out this place because I saw it online and I was most disappointed. I will avoid in the future.

Had a delicious cream tea at Bumble and Bee. The weather was a little changeable and there were no indoor seats available, so took a chance sitting outside and fortunately managed to move in as the rain started! Staff were friendly and more than happy to provide a takeaway box when I couldn't finish the two scones! Will be back when I'm next in Exmouth!

The best brunch, coffee, and service!!

breakfast stack was amazing and we took some cakes with us and they were also great

Visited Exmouth for a weekend break and were on the search for a coffee and a bite to eat. The servers were lovely and the food and coffee was delicious. It was delightful to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine and there's space to sit inside too! Would highly recommended if visiting the area. I enjoyed the maple and bacon pancakes.

Amazing cafe in the beautiful gardens absolutely spotless, friendly staff & lovely atmosphere highly recommend, only had a scone & drinks but menu looked lovely & the food that others ordered looked fab will definitely return again to try the food can't wait.

Extremely generous people, thank you for the delicious hot chocolate and coffee given to the crew of our ambulance yesterday 🙏

Wow I loved this little cafe, the food was tasty and the ambience was lovely, will visit here again

The best cheese scones i’ve ever tasted. Porridge also the best with lots of toppings of fresh fruit and berries. Shout out to Nikki who was so helpful and caring. She is a credit to the cafe. What a little gem of a place.

What a lovely place! I had to die for pancakes, wish I could find room for more... Staff very friendly, will defo vote back

A really amazing place, the building is remarkable and the services are good. No problem parking.

Legendary Cream Teas. Large scones, plenty of jam and Clotted Devon Cream. Their cakes are moist, unusual flavours, quite large plus generously sized tray bakes and.....delicious. Coffee and teas good quality.

wonderful. try cream tea and eggs rara

We are regular visitors to Bumble and booked the cafe to celebrate my wife’s 40th birthday. The team, location, food and service is absolutely first class every time. Sam (general manager) and Debs (owner) are two of the nicest people you’d ever hope to meet and great hosts, their team is fantastic and so welcoming. They arranged exclusive use of their venue, prepared a wonderful buffet including their amazing homemade cakes and scones. We had 55 people including 15 kids and it worked perfectly. Nothing was too much trouble. Absolutely brilliant cafe, you won’t regret visiting. We’ll be back many times again 😀

Delicious food. All homemade. Eggs poached perfectly. Very good hollandaise. Local, tasty bacon. Presentation was lovely. Bit slow but was busy and everything is made or cooked fresh. Worth the wait!

Really nice, quirky little cafe in the park. Disappointed they didn't have the fabulous carrot cake scone on today but still a wide range of fine looking cakes and a normal menu to choose from. Definitely worth a visit.

Had an amazing brunch, Eggs Rara. Highly recommended.

Love coming here after ParkRun on a Saturday morning

Amazing vegan pancakes (loads of other vegan choices too!) and lovely staff. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Exmouth

It was a lovely little find, breakfast and coffee were very nice. Will visit again when in the area. The staff were lovely and friendly. And we felt very welcome.

Love this spot. Great food that is SO needed in Exmouth. Well done to the peeps there. Oh and all the cakes which they make - 👌🏽👌🏽

Warm, cozy, scrumptious and perfect! Seriously, how can a cafe on the edge of a park be so good? Clearly, the team is the answer. Great service and attention to detail. Happy people making and serving the food and a lovely ambience that comes from all the above. The food is divine, and I really mean that. We both had the Avo smash. Toasted sour dough topped with lashing of smashed avocado, topped with perfectly poached eggs. The plate was started with a beetroot puree, pickled beetroot, little chunks of salty feta cheese, and sprinklings of red amaranth micro herbs and to finish the plate off a sprinkling of black onion seeds. Blown away. I really didn't expect plating like this at all. The plate was perfect in both appearance and taste. Well done team Bumble and Bee, really well done. So good that I would sruve the hour from home just to taste some more of your food. Well done.

The staff are absolutely lovely and the food is always nice, the only thing is they don't list all the ingredients in their dishes or make you aware of any nuts present. Unfortunately because of this I had an allergic reaction to pistachios which I didn't know were in the dish and made me incredibly ill. Will go again but will be more cautious to asked what ingredients are in the dish.

We regularly visit Bumble & Bee for their amazing bakes (the peanut butter cookies, apple & blackberry crumble flapjack and apple cakes are 👌🏼), cosy vibes & lovely staff. This week I have also tried their catering service & nothing I say will do it justice. The quality & flavours were incredible, there was so much delicious food & the service was fantastic. Can’t wait to use you again for our next event.

Good coffee houses and cafes are hard to come by in Exmouth, so I got z big surprise when i stumbled onto this place. The coffee was great and the staff were friendly and quick to serve us. The gluten free Cranberry cake was nice, but the icing seemed fake. There's plenty of other gluten free items in the cabinet to choose from. We got chatting to another table next to us, and their comments were "Off the menu and savoury were great, but cakes not quite as good". I wouldn't let that put you off as most of the tables inside were full. Plenty of outdoor seating ready for summer and the beach is 5 minutes walk away! You can take your 4 legged friends, but can only have them outside. Definitely one of the best places for that caffeine hit you're chasing.

Miserable, fed up waitress/manager barking orders at me - ‘sugar over there’ etc. only go if you’ve got a tough skin

My favourite spot to grab a hot chocolate or chai latte & a gluten free cake. Always such a variety & it’s unusual to be spoilt for choice!! I’m there so often I think the team know my order too, can’t fault that :)

Had the best curried cauliflower soup today,so thick and creamy and just the right amount of curry served with a tasty cheese scone. Lovely place,good atmosphere and the cakes look delicious!

An amazing place for breakfast if you want something that is not the bulk-standard English breakfast.

Lovely selection of gluten free cakes not usual packaged ones. Service friendly and prompt. Sat in the park enjoying the surroundings

The food is fantastic and the location and style of the cafe are one of the best in Exmouth. This is what keeps me going back. The experience is consistently let down by the staff though. If that were better I’m sure I would go more often. They are not terrible but a small improvement in attitude would make a big difference. Customers are ignored until the staff member is actually ready to serve them and mostly they can only almost smile at that point. I ask for my scone to be warm and it has a flash in microwave so short it’s only warm on the outside. It’s rare to meet such staff attitude these days as everybody is concerned about their reviews. It would not take much for the b and b to be absolutely 5 star. An experience at the Bumble and Tee in the summer was even worse. Empty cafe we were ignored for 15 minutes while the young lady finished washing up. No acknowledgment of the wait, no smile. There is something about either the staff employed, their training or their pay maybe? But they don’t come across as happy in any of the Bumbles. Business saved by it’s lovely food I would say.

Had afternoon tea there fantastic 👌

Amazing breakfast stack, quality ingredients and friendly service. Can easily see why it's No1 on Trip Advisor

Based in Manor gardens it's a small café/bistro serving hot and cold small plate food at reasonable prices. It's often very busy and I personally find the noise level too high to the point where it can be difficult to hold a conversation with people on your table. If you're looking for a quiet place this isn't it. Dogs are not allowed inside but in dry weather there are a couple of tables outside and they do takeaway drinks and cake to enjoy in the gardens. In the summer they have a serving hatch for ice creams (inc. dog ice-cream), drinks and snacks.

Omg, just my absolute favourite cafe. Cute atmosphere, lovely homemade cakes and the cream teas are lush. Only thing that could be better - I wish there was WIFI so I could study here after work!

Really lovely soup, beautifully presented. Good, friendly service. The bench seats against the walls are a bit narrow.

Great stop for brunch, lunch or cake. Small so can be busy. Food was great. Children's food came covered in coriander seeds which wasn't stated on the menu so we had to get a new one which came out quickly. Had a lovely brunch and would recommend. It wasn't that busy and we waited 25 mins for food. I think some extra staff would be welcomed to speed up service and help clear tables quicker.

The place inside is lovely and clean, a great selection of cakes and scones as well as good customer service. However, this place is getting a 2* review due to the poor quality and quantity of the food for the price. We went for lunch and ordered a fish finger sarnie and a cheese and chutney sandwich; the former costing £8.50 and the latter £7.50. When it arrived it consisted of two slices of bread with its lacklustre filling. There was nothing else served on the plate with it. No side salad garnish, no handful of crisps or even a coleslaw. £8.50 for two slices of bread filled with four cheap fish fingers that were grey inside!! I understand we’re in a cost of living crisis but £7.50 for a cheese sarnie is ridiculous. I would only go here for the scones/cakes and tea. Completely disappointing otherwise.

Visited a couple of times whilst on a holiday break in the area. Breakfast was fresh and vibrant, service was top level showing in depth knowledge of ingredients in the food to service for gluten free requirements.

A fabulous little place to visit. The staff are awesome. The range of food may not be huge, but it is all freshly made in the cafe. The cakes are to die for and the range is great and ever changing. Debs even made a little care package of scones, cream and jam for my husband to have when he was stuck in the hospital.

Had a wonderful afternoon tea for two.

Found this on Google for afternoon tea and it is amazing .. Joseph was totally awesome and very helpful and the cakes - all home made were THE BEST .. and reasonably priced

Brilliant staff, very nice portion sizes, very, very friendly and excellent service.

The sign outside said ‘Award Winning Devon Creamed Tea’ so we had to give it a try. It certainly didn’t disappoint. The atmosphere in the cafe was quite delightful. I really wanted to sit in the naughty corner but the spot was already occupied. The doggie water bowl at the front door had pawsecco on tap. They really look after their dogs in Devon.

We discovered this place & had breakfast twice ,cream tea & coffee and cake on our 3 nights in Exmouth.The food is amazing ,the place so clean and the staff lovely & friendly.

Great for breakfast , brunch and afternoon tea. This charming cafe is in a park setting. Everything is home made. The best carrot and coriander soup we’ve ever had, croutons to die for, served with splendid home made cheese scones.

Fantastic food great staff Meet our family here for a birthday breakfast brunch would highly recommend many thanks to all staff members x

Lovely little cafe tucked away in the Manor Gardens. Nice tranquil spot where you forgot your so close to the beach and to town. Great selection of breakfasts, really tasty and so beautifully presented. And of course, we had to try the scones - they didn't disappoint.
