Parracombe Pavilion Stores & Cafe in North Devon

We were staying in Lynton and as there is sadly no longer a bakery there, we looked around for an alternative. We found Parracombe Community Store and Cafe on Tripadvisor and are so glad we made the effort to drive out there - about a 13 minute drive. Wonderful shop, stocking freshly baked sourdough bread (ironically, baked by someone in Lynton) along with other foods you’d expect in a great farm shop. Another delight was the cafe. We enjoyed great quality toasted teacakes outside in the sunshine. We bought great bread, butter, jam, cheese, hummus, biscuits, a couple of bottles of cider - and including our teacakes and tea - spent the same as we spent on a couple of average burgers in Lynton the day before. Great experience and great value.

I wish we had a community shop and cafe like this one. Stumbled across it by a lucky accident. I don't want to increase the traffic through this tiny village but it's well worth a diversion off the Google maps route. Great coffee and cakes. Great stock of veg, beers, Crafts and pretty much anything you could need. Lovely staff, clean as a whistle and basically pretty perfect.

Friendly community run store and café. Great coffee, cakes and savoury snacks (pasties, sausage rolls, etc), as well as a well stocked shop section full of local produce. There is also a local crafts section. As well as all that, there is a large field for the kids to run around in. Brilliant place.
