North Coast Cafe in North Devon

Found this little gem of a cafe following a daytrip out to see the Valley of Rocks. Myself and two friends each decided to order two different types of scones as our lunch as we couldn’t decide between the many wonderful and unique flavours! I started with the Butternut Squash, Sage and Cheddar scone with Vintage ‘Cornish Crackler’ cheddar and red onion chutney. For my ‘dessert’ I then chose the Chocolate scone with Homemade Cherry Conserve. I can honestly say these are the best scones I have ever had! The savoury butternut squash scone was absolutely delicious and full of flavour with a lovely orange hue and was still warm from the oven. The cheddar and red onion chutney complimented it beautifully. The chocolate scone smelled incredible before I’d even sliced into it! There were delicious melty chocolate chips inside and coupled with the cherry conserve it made for the most delectable sweet treat. Chocolate and cherry is one of my favourite flavour combinations so I was excited to find this. I am going to try and recreate these scones myself but I doubt I’ll come close! The owner was also very friendly and warm and we felt really lucky to have found this cafe. I would highly recommend it to everyone.

This lovely little cafe offers the most delicious scones, with a twist…the warm ginger scone with lemon curd was out of this world! When you’ve finished eating there are lots of interesting little shops on the doorstep, and it’s just a couple of minutes away from the cliff side railway, so perfectly located. Very dog friendly with free treats on offer - what’s not to love?

The most incredible scones I've had in England. Seriously, I've had a lot of cream teas and this place is far and above the best, and they have tons of different scone flavours and spreads. And, they have gluten free scones as well!! A must stop if you're visiting Lynton, you won't be disappointed.

Found this Gem in Lynton, food amazing, the attention to detail was obvious. If you enjoy scones you need to try their scone variants, you will explore the scone world like never before. Thank you

Excellent little cafe. As a vegan it is often difficult to find somewhere for lunch when I am out walking but this place has a good selection of vegan savoury dishes. Had a vegan cheese, tomato and pickle sandwich and it was delicious. Good quality bread and overall a lovely, tasty lunch. The coffee is amazing, it was one of the best coffees I have had. Highly recommended if you are vegan and looking for a tasty lunch.

Food was stunning and coffee was amazing. But what was even better was the staff, the staff was lovely. My dad became a bit ill during the visit and a staff member went out of there way to see if he was ok. Lovely staff and lovely cafe I would really recommend!

Delicious food and fantastic coffee! I stopped by for breakfast (salmon with scrambled eggs on a bagel) and tried the medium roast coffee. Absolutely delicious! You can choose between light, medium and dark roast coffee so there is something for everyone. Thumbs up!

Service with a smile and really nice coffee 🙂 The scones looked amazing but had no room for one sadly 😞

Fantastic Cafe and a real find in Lynton. The scones were to die for and the coffee was excellent. Have told our friends this is must visit.

From amazing coffee which is hard to find in Devon to the best scones and wonderful service! Highly recommend

Dropped in for a cuppachino and cup of tea owner was friendly welcoming happy to chat well worth a drop in toilets on site comfortable seating

The food, coffee, and service were delivered with love. The Roast Butternut Squash, Sage, & Cheddar Scone was particularly delicious, but you can't go wrong here because they are clearly passionate about what they do.

We visited whilst on holiday and the scones were the best we had ever tried. The staff were amazing. I'd say this is a must visit for anyone visiting Lynton/Lynmouth and wanting to eat a scone, they had so many different varieties to choose from.

What a Lovely find. Jason and Neil go over and above. On our first visit I ordered a beautiful Oat Milk latte with Hazel nut syrup. I was even asked by Jason how much syrup I would like. He gave me some on the side just in case I wanted more! As we said above and beyond. The food is delicious and a lovely atmosphere. Thank you so much. 😊

Turning into a firm favourite during our visits to Lynton. Great variety of food options from sweet to savoury. Good coffee too.

Fantastic café: faultless food and drinks and friendly and welcoming service. Spoilt for choice from the interesting and creative menu. The sweet and savoury scones were both delicious and the coffee impeccable. The owners clearly take great pride and passion in what they do with lots of small but thoughtful touches. A real gem in Lynton. Hope to come back again one day. Thanks for everything.

Delicious scone! Ginger scone with clotted cream and home made lemon curd accompanied with great tea. Never had a ginger scone but I can recommend it

We chose this cafe as they had a barista coffee machine and wanted a good coffee but unfortunately received bad service and un-accommodating staff.

I went here a while back but been meaning to write a review! Enjoyed my visit to the cafe, lovely friendly staff and nice atmosphere/decor. Thank you!

Stumbled across this lovely cafe while on holiday in the area. The food was lovely, especially the savoury scones, and the fellow serving us was really chatty and friendly. We'll definitely be back!

This was our second visit to the North Coast Cafe in a week.  And both visits were fantastic.  What a find.  Not only is the food excellent, tasty and generous portions. But the selection is great - especially the scones! Oh and the homemade jam was the best I've ever had. The proprietors are very welcoming and even after much discussion about the rose latte, then deciding to have a normal latte... only for a complimentary rose one to be served was such a lovely touch. It's a shame we no longer live locally,  as we wipe be here much more often. We will be back and would highly recommend to anyone visiting Lynton.

Manager/owner, grumpy bloke who works their needs to learn how to speak to people. Come out and confronting people the way he did is appalling, learn some manners next time

Had such a warm welcome at this lovely cafe. Service was impeccable. The food was great - we had toasties, bagels and scones, all fresh and delicious. Some unusual scones too, which add a nice twist to a cream tea. The decor and crockery is really attractive too, so a very pleasant place to sit and eat. Definitely a place to recommend. The lovely couple running it clearly know what they're doing.

Delightful cafe with excellent customer service, freshly prepared food and a very welcoming atmosphere. Absolutely would recommend this lovely cafe.

Ordered a gluten free scone with cream and strawberry jam. Excellent coffee alongside. Really tasty, excellent service. My daughter ordered a salmon and cream cheese bagel and cappuccino, very well received. Would definitely recommend...

A genuine specialty coffee cafe where you actually get to choose your roast! The light-roast (Nomad) was deliciously flavoursome, hands down the best cortado I found in Devon, let alone Lynton. Incredibly nice staff who, as well as pulling a flawless shot, gave me some tips on home-brewing. If you're a self-confessed coffee snob this is the place to go.

Excellent little place. Great choice of coffees. Average price. Excellent service. Friendly staff.

My salmon bagel was delicious ! Nice service and friendly atmosphere !

Superb little cafe .. fabulous coffee and fabulous service in a little sun trap side street. Grab a table outside if you can !!

Delicious coffee, chai latte, sandwich. Good atmosphere. Highly recommended

If you need to feel that someone is doing something with real passion, eat really delicious and fresh food and drink real coffee in a very friendly place, I highly recommend it.

Thank you for first class homemade fruit cake

Lovely place. The scones were Devine. Amazingly welcome for our two pups. Highly recommended 🥰

Marvelous….. Gluten-free scone-cream-jam-time…cozy café By the way…excellent deep house music…

Just loved this little cafe. Fabulous coffee, the most incredible ginger scones, and the best service. You can really tell the owners care about their business and their customers. Definitely worth a visit!

just had fantastic Coffee and Ginger-Scones 😋

A great cafe with the best coffee and exceptional breakfast bagels. A real find great to sit outside in the sun and watch world go past ... highly recommended

Amazing place 😍 very friendly staff, delicious coffee and homemade cakes ❤️ good atmosphere ✨

We all really loved the cafe and the owners were so friendly and accommodating. The food was really lovely and my ginger scone was wonderful!

A really lovely experience with delious food and atmosphere. The people who worked there were very welcoming and kind, they came quickly with are food which was delious and amazing drinks. The atmosphere was very nice and decorative with a cat ghat cane in the restaurent. I recommend and will be coming back. :)

Absolutely outstanding service. Lovely food and relaxed atmosphere. Good vegan and veggie options.

We stopped in for a late lunch of tomato soup and cheese scones with plenty of butter! I’ve never tasted such a deliciously cheesy scone, nice and hot so the butter just melted into this divine little treat. Soup was completely delicious too, you could taste the herbs/spices used and it was a perfect accompaniment to the cheese scone. Thank you North Coast Cafe, you made our stay in Lynton extra special.

WOW! Exceptional service. Food was fresh and delicious. I assume it was the owners who also work in the cafe as the hospitality was of a very very high standard. It is a cosy cafe but if you are a small group, stop by here!

Mine and my partners favourite coffee spot in north Devon. We always ensure we visit whenever we’re in the area. Recommend to all that come this way. Thank you for the amazing coffee, food and incredibly friendly service. Ps. The white chocolate hot chocolate is the best I’ve ever had.

Best scones I've had. The blueberry jam was absolutely delicious

Extremely good coffee, flat white up there with the best in the UK, and the most amazing gluten free scone too. Even the home made jam in the cream tea was exceptional - chunks of fresh strawberry in it. Highly recommended.

Amazing food and gracious staff. One of the best veg burgers I've had in the UK. Must try when in Devon!!

Super cute little cafe - sensational cream tea👌👌 definitely look into that when you‘re around!

Just had a coffee . Really delicious and piping hot. Service very good.

Nice cakes, nice hot chocolates and coffees, excellent service! 💛

Amazing food and excellent service

Very clean, great food and great service ☕👌

My partner just had a cracking, really chocolatey mocha and was pleasantly surprised by their flat white! Cheers 🤙

Intimate or small, depending on your take! Excellent food (vegan) and coffee. Highly recommended...

Awesome place, really kind and polite staff

Fantastic Club sandwich and a seasonal Christmas sandwich. Great value and quality food. Looking forward to the second half!

Lovely cafe, friendly staff well worth a visit

Après une belle balade à la découverte des côtes de Lyndon, une petite pause gourmande s imposait .Le North Coast café est une jolie découverte .Décoration sympa de la salle ,accueil très chaleureux,service impeccable et belles découvertes gustatives. Je recommande cet établissement.

Stunning coffee and food all freshly prepared and beautifully presented.

Adore this place. Wish I lived here just to try all the food. Great atmosphere, comfortable, kind, and fantastic food quality. If you're in Lynton, drop by here for lunch!

An enjoyable place for a coffee and cake. Very good table service.

Horrified to see a lady, obviously a regular, with two little dogs sat on the bench seat either side of her. Let's this otherwise lovely cafe down. Please be aware some people are allergic to dogs and don't want to share the bench seating with them.

Went due to reviews about Flat Whites and espresso coffee. Can't fault them, highly recommended. Food was great although the club sandwich was big and too much, so get one to share if you don't eat a massive amount. Not a criticism, just an observation. They very kindly offered to put one half in a bag to take away, which we did. Open and honest about how long food takes to cook and serve. I liked that, as we've run a similar coffee shop so understand the pressures. Indies like this are not Mcdonalds. They take pride in food prep etc. A must if you're looking for coffee and food in Lynton. Teacakes and cakes in general looked great too.

A totally wonderful breakfast bagel. Delicious. Tasty. Enjoyable. And a perfect and different start to the day. Thank you.

Really lovely little cafe! The owners are really calm and accommodating and are clearly passionate about providing great customer service and exceptional food, even for larger groups. It’s a really clean, beautifully decorated place with lots of food options, whether you’re in the mood for something big, small, sweet, savoury, vegetarian or otherwise! Great coffee with a handy visual guide in the back of the menu to help you decide on the coffee for you, plus loads of juice options etc. Really lovely place to brighten up even the rainiest of days!

Best café you could ever go into. Such a nice place. Food is out of this world. Cheese scone with bacon jam, you must try this!

Have visited this lovely cafe several times now and always get great coffee and service. Staff were amazing at ensuring my dietary requirements were met with delicious food. A real gem of a place😊

Der Hot Rich Chocolate war sehr sehr lecker, die Brownies, Bagel und Sandwiches waren auch sehr lecker. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Wonderful experience! The staff was absolutely lovely, and the ambiance was spotless and beautifully decorated. They offer a fantastic selection of cakes, including dairy-free options, which was a pleasant surprise. The bagel I had was simply great. If you decide to visit, get ready for a delightful journey filled with nothing but pleasant surprises.

Kleines Café mit sehr freundlichen Service. Man kann auch kleinere Speisen wie z.B. Burger, Bagles und Sandwiches zu sich nehmen 😋 Wir hatten einen guten Cappuccino und leckeren Kuchen 😊👍

Lovely cream tea and drinks. Was my husbands late uncles shop was a butchers

Lovely food and friendly service. Dogs allowed too

Really lovely cafe, relaxed vibes. Great food and coffee and the service was really good. Definately recommend.

Gorgeous smoked salmon with scrambled egg on a toasted bagel, really filling and delish. Lovely hosts, beautiful coffee funky music, highly recommended 👌

Unless you are a couple don’t try and visit this place!!! We (4 adults, 2 kids) stopped by after our friends had recommend this cafe. Our experience and how we were treated was however very different to theirs. Upon entering the cafe we were made to feel unwelcome with dagger stares from behind the counter. We proceed to sit down at a small table however there was enough seating for us all. We were kindly offered another table from the people next to us to accommodate us. It was then at this point it all went very much down hill. The man serving came up and before saying anything goes “I can’t feed you all!!!!” At which point we were all a little shocked. He then proceed to say all I can do is cakes and even that’s going to be difficult with you all - we were a table of 6!!!! It was at this point i upped and left, I felt so uncomfortable, unwelcome and judged - therefore not somewhere I wanted to be. You humiliated us in front of your other customers but I think more than anything it showed that maybe customer service training is needed. Maybe next time coming over and quietly saying “my apologies, there is a maximum number in here as the door shows (which is actually 6!), I can serve you but it may have to be staggered and may take a while are you happy with that?” Would have been a polite approach? Such a shame as I was looking forward to trying out your place after being recommended to do so, however after the way you made us feel, the embarrassment just for wanting to support your business… it upsets me that I have no choice but to share my unpleasant experience.

Awesome little cafe! Super friendly service and some of the very best cream teas I ever had. The scones were super fluffy and tasty. The Lady grey and the dirty chai latte were really great. So we had a brilliant time here and will come back for sure. Next time we will hopefully be able to try one of the breakfasts they have.

Food and service was excellent I would certainly recommend

Lovely staff,fabulous cream tea highly recommend. Good beer.

Had an amazing lunch and coffee here. Dog and kid friendly.

Amazing food, friendly staff and great atmosphere. Thank you so much 😊

Popped in for coffee and cake but ended up having a bagel burger as well as we were do intrigued. The food was amazing. I had a honey cream tea as well which was delicious. Lovely atmosphere and friendly welcoming staff. Definitely be returning!

Called in for a pit stop and drinks. Really warm and welcoming guys! Had an amazing chai latte and my husband even got to sample some local ales. Well worth a visit if you just fancy chilling out and listening to some really good tunes. ❤️

Walked out of another cafe around the corner without ordering because the general aura was unwelcoming. But this cafe was totally the opposite, the person at the counter was very welcoming and a gentleman . Didn’t order much but whatever ordered was good and satisfying to the body and soul.

Excellent flat whites and cappuccinos. Love that the sugar is added to the espresso before milk is added- just like in Italy! £3.45/ coffee. Great selection of baked goods available. Friendly staff and fantastic location. Will definitely be back!

After struggling to find somewhere for a snack lunch on Sunday, found this place and had the nicest BLT I have ever had. Friend had smoked salmon and cream cheese. Gorgeous thick cut granary bread.

Lovely friendly cafe. Great food and coffee, and they welcome dogs. What's not to like.

Bit late with our review - visited in November! Where does time go!?! This place is an absolute gem of a find. The food is fantastic - breakfast bagel and bucks fizz for breakfast was absolutely heaven! Bacon jam!!! Delicious!! We went back for lunch and cocktails and they were fab too! We ate there every day of our 3 night break. Hosts Neal and Jason are really friendly, funny and attentive, we loved chatting with them. Our 2 dogs were made to feel so welcome too. I only wish we could pick this cafe up and move it to North Yorks as I would quite happily start every day in bagel heaven! Thank you so much guys, you have the most wonderful cafe!

After an epic walk we hit upon this fantastic cafe which we were delighted about as it was open as most others were closed. The chap was incredibly welcoming and friendly. The cafe was spotlessly clean. The Christmas decorations were beautiful. The menu was fabulous. The hot chocolate was the best I've ever had. The atmosphere was instantly calming and really this was the highlight of my Christmas break. A little oasis of kindness, impeccable service and I really didn't want to leave. Keep doing what you're doing folks. We visited as a family of 4 and will definitely be back.

Lovely atmosphere and friendly service

I had the salmon and scrambled egg baggle, followed by a very good black americano and brownies ... excellent . Thank you Rob

Went in there today had the club Sandwich and friend had tomato soup food amazing the service was brilliant well worth a visit if u visit lynton thanks guys 12/11/22 be coming back again soon as only traveled from Barnstaple

Second time we've popped in to warm up. My daughter had a fully loaded hot chocolate, the day called for it lol. Watching him make it was a work of art, she said it's the best one she's had. I had a normal hot chocolate, divine. Hubster decided to have a glass of wine, it squeaked past noon 🤣🤣 Gorgeous tasting wine. We've not, yet, had any food, but what we've seen coming out of the kitchen looked mouthwatering 😍😍 Highly recommend going in. DOG FRIENDLY 🐕🐕🐾🐾🐾

Friendly, clean cafe with amazing sandwiches!

Manager with awful attitude, looked me and my group up and down and then proceeded to ignore us. Tried to sit at a table and told us “can you wait till I’ve cleared that table”. Food was going to be half an hour wait apparently… overall wouldn’t recommend. the food looks good, just sad the man who seemed to be the manager was rude and ignorant. P.s HIGHLY RECOMMEND ABI’S cafe just round the corner!

Lovely cream tea, scones were scrumptious and warm.

Really nice Lemon sponge and coffee. Friendly service too.

Leuke plek! Vriendelijke en erg behilulpzame bediening. Lekkere scones en cakejes.

Erg lekker. Er werd alle moeite gedaan om een heerlijke latte macchiato voor me te maken terwijl dat niet op de kaart stond.

A wonderful cafe great service and very chilled atmosphere Had a lovely sharing platter one evening would definitely recommend a visit !

Wonderful GF brown bread, beetroot falafel sandwich. Great decor and friendly staff. Highly recommend
