Earl of Portsmouth in North Devon

Stopped for a morning coffee and breakfast! Good coffee and pan au chocolates! Friendly staff and a nice little spot near to the beach.

We visited this wonderful place whilst on holiday and it’s absolutely stunning. I loved the detailed decor and the vibe. The food is all made freshly on site. We had cake and coffee and my son had the vegan beans and sausage on toast and it’s safe to say we have all devoured our food.

Shame that this has closed and we were so fortunate to get there on the last day before it did. When we saw that it was still number one and also award winning, we had to return and we're not disappointed. We just hope that the other cafes in Lynmouth rise to the standards set for future visits.

Visited at the end of March. Sadly disappointed with both main meals. I had monk fish with gnocchi and vegetables. Unfortunately the gnocchi and vegetables were overcooked. My husband had seafood tagliatelle pasta - the pasta portion was very small, and luke warm,mussels appeared small and less fish than expected. The food is expensive for the size of the portions, so it is particularly disappointing when not well cooked. Bottled beer expensive. Did not feel we could complain in such an intimate small environment.

Lovely friendly cafe, full of locals with tasty home made food.
