The Bakehouse in Mid Devon

Great discovery and likely somewhere we will visit again as a v convenient stop off from the M5 open into the eve on a Fri and Sat, with quick friendly service. Lovely fresh local food and drink, great selection for pescatarians and fussy kids. It was quite quiet when we visited early eve but was getting busier, and a pleasant, airy interior with lots of space- beautiful original shop front.

As always a warm and friendly greating and iv got to say the cream tea looked lovely

We really enjoyed our breakfast, lovely place, welcoming staff

It's great and probably the best place to eat in Cullompton. Friendly helpful staff, efficient service. Food is of a very good quality. Good range of drinks. Recommended, just go here, Yiu won't be disappointed.

This is a lovely little eatery which I see is open too in the evening for cocktails etc. I ordered pan fried mushrooms in a creamy pepper sauce in toast. A nice dish but arguably should be done with sourdough to resist sogginess, really. But that is a minor point. The 2nd visit this morning was even nicer. Really sweet music playing and a super chilled vibe. I could easily have stayed all day. This place is a gem.

I loved the atmosphere and the employees were very kind to us. My sister and I ordered the seafood platter without anchovies, and my mother, my sister, and I all had frappes. The frappes aren't like the ones I've had before, they have a more defined coffee taste that most don't have. I forgot what my mother had. It was a sandwich that contained salmon and something else. The food that we ordered was also very high quality. I personally loved the mackerel and prawns Edit: my sister also made a review that's why 2 reviews have the same photo

Fantastic food. Great choices. Competitive prices. Lovely burger. Coffee is also great. Good choice of cakes. But no desserts

Made a pit stop on our way to our holiday and stumbled across this lovely little place. Lucky I popped in and asked if they had a table as there is a lot more seating to the back in a bright and airy space with a lovely fireplace and bookshelf which kept my little one entertained. Dog friendly which is always a bonus and I cannot fault the breakfast, it was delicious.

Lovely little cafe, great food and realistic pricing. Will definitely come back here again. Perfect 👌

Lovely little place hiding out in cullompton. Great pizza and a nice atmosphere

Been here many times for lunch and breakfast. Great food, always ggood service, can be very busy so would recommend booking in advance.

We decided to book Christmas Eve breakfast here after some friends visited and enjoyed it. Food was excellent - my daughter hummed down her bacon sandwich, and the eggs benedict were highly rated by my wife and mother. My only feedback would be is that coffee is too milky, but that really is nitpicking because I like strong flat whites. It’s an excellent place for breakfast - we will be returning often now!

Good food, portions, lovely place with friendly staff.

First time we have eaten at the Bakehouse and it was very good indeed. The meal was very tasty especially the festive meze. With friends at a birthday party the service was excellent and the little touches such as balloons and table decorations really made for a great party atmosphere. Thank you.

I was excited to sit in and have breakfast with my mum. I was told by the lady at till to sit and she will come to take our order. It’s been good 5-10 mins but she didn’t come. Then I went myself to order. Then I saw an elderly couple sitting in and they had used utensils on the table and were told to sit there. I saw elderly couple looking for someone to come and clean but nobody came to clear it up. Unfortunately, the elderly man, had to pick up the dirty dishes and handed to the till lady. I understand it was little bit busy morning but still.

Whilst the food looked pretty good I can't comment as I had only a coffee

On a long drive from the Midlands to the south-west, I wanted somewhere nice to stop for lunch. Did some research and found this place. Got a parking spot in the High Street a few minutes' walk away - and this was on a Saturday - free for an hour which was plenty of time. I was warmly welcomed and offered a table for four even though I was on my own. Several good gluten-free options - I chose fried halloumi, chunky chips, and coleslaw, plus a Luscombe hot ginger beer to drink (the ginger is hot, not the drink itself - was delicious). The fried halloumi was excellent, a generous portion and beautifully cooked with a big handful of young rocket leaves in a tasty dressing on the side. The chunky chips were perfect. The coleslaw was very good but drenched in mayo - too much for my taste, so I couldn't eat more than half of it, but I wasn't left hungry. Garlic mayo was also served with the halloumi, but when I asked for some ketchup that was no problem. The coleslaw and chips were each served in a small enamel pie dish, and the halloumi came on a board; I would have preferred it all on one plate (I guess I could have asked for a plate, but didn't think of it). So a couple of tiny things which were not to my taste, but everyone has different tastes and honestly that's barely enough to deduct one point of a star let alone a whole star. The atmosphere in the cafe was very convivial, and the service was friendly and professional. I would gladly stop here again - I hope I get the chance to do so.

Celebrated my 50th here with a group of friends and family. Beautiful venue and great service

The staff were very friendly and the portion size was adequately large as am I. It was clean, nice, and generally a good experience. Would recommend!

Why would you stop at a service station when you can pop off the M5 and eat here?!! Delicious food, friendly service.

Friendly service and great big portions of food. Thank you.

Lovely friendly staff, delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere. Dog friendly. Parked at Tesco and popped in for lunch and it was fantastic. 5 mins from Cullompton junction on M5 (& the very bad services). Come here instead for breakfast or lunch!!

My favourite place for the best breakfast.

Excellent breakfast, highly recommended. Staff very welcoming. Glad I booked a table as visited today and it was busy which is nice to see.

I have eaten here several times and it has been okay but I have to say that a couple of days ago my friend and I had the same choice on the specials menu and it was dreadful. Three skewers of halloumi, tomatoes and aubergine on two pieces of ciabatta, covered with rocket. The aubergine was practically raw and inedible, and the bread had nothing on it, no olive oil or tomato pesto. There was little of it and hugely expensive at more than £13, with no price upon the board. I thought it was disgraceful and they are taking advantage of having always been popular.

Look at the platter!!! Amazing food and delicious

Really great food and drink but also really lovely, attentive staff - they even made sure my dog was comfortable! It’s got an excellent, cosy vibe - really enjoyed ourselves

My first visit to The Bakehouse. It was a breakfast work meeting but very comfortable and easy atmosphere. We had 3x breakfasts between us, from the special - Eggs Benedict, Bubble & Squeak and Creamy Mushrooms and poached eggs (which I had). Around £10.75 for each + coffees. Very good.

Just stopped over here on our way home from Cornwall. Lovely food and really lovely service for us and the dog! The server made sure the dog had treats and water. Managed to fit us in too on a bank holiday Saturday evening.. definitely would come again if we are ever in the area.

Really good came here cus we didn't go exiter one of the best places I've been went with my baby sister my mum and brother such good food we were in the dining room thing it was not noise like other places me and my brother shared the seafood plater it was worth every penny the waitress was very sweet they had a great attitude and was very lovely great food great seats etc 10/10☺ please get it to say it's a 5star place bc it is! (My brother also made a review on it)

Nice place, all the teas you’d want. A good coffee too. Good airy areas of seating. Lovely gluten free scone with a redbush tea; made my day.

Fantastic food. I had ham, egg and chips in which came a delicious side salad. The eggs and ham were locally sourced. The ham, in particular, was spectacular.

I recently visited The Bakehouse in Cullompton for breakfast and I really enjoyed our visit. We will be back to try the evening menu! The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, adding to the lovely atmosphere of the café. We felt very welcome. It was exceptional service by the entire team - thank you. The food is absolutely delicious and so are the summer drinks & iced latte. The iced latte is served with vanilla syrup & whipped cream and I was a very impressed - my favourite iced latte! We didn't try the cakes but there was so many delicious-looking choices. We had: 🥪 The Breakfast Special (The Bakehouse Breakfast Toastie) - Sausages, mature cheddar, tomato, red onion chutney 🥤Peach Iced Tea ☕️ Iced Latte 🍓 Homemade Scone - Plain with Nutella 🥤 Raspberry Lemonade 🥓 The Beast - 2 Sausages, 2 Bacon, 2 'Appledore Farm' Eggs Poached or Fried, 2 Hash Browns, Mushrooms, Black Pudding, Vine Tomatoes, Beans & Granary Toast ☕️ Cappuccino 🥓 Traditional - 1 Sausage, 2 Bacon, 2 'Appledore Farm' Eggs Poached or Fried, Hash Brown, Mushrooms, Beans & Granary Toast ☕️ Cappuccino

Excellent breakfast. Good selection for all tastes. Had the bubble and squeak with poached eggs yummy. Husband had standard breakfast. Also yummy. Great thick sliced toast. Will definitely return. Been several times in the past for lunch. Never been disappointed. Try it.

We enjoyed our breakfast here. Young server was very polite and attentive. Food itself was fairly good quality.

Delicious food, lovely service, a bit of a gem considering we were looking for somewhere to charge the car and the service station was jammed so we opted for a charger in the village. Thank goodness we did. I wasn’t that hungry so had a small plate of smoked salmon pâté, my husband had a meze platter, they were delicious, all home made and displayed beautifully.

Brief visit near the end of a day exploring Devon. We ordered two ‘Bakehouse Toasties’, the cheddar and mozzarella and the bacon, brie and cranberry sauce, both with salad. All was excellent and the first toasty so large that my wife took half away to eat later. Thank goodness we refused the offer of a side of chips! Mine was washed down with a latte tasting of coffee and was not 1/4 foam: a delight. Great ambiance despite being close to closing. Recommended to all

Nice food nothing special about it

Lovely place to go for coffee or a meal.

We hadden voor de kinderen een kinder ontbijt met een gebakken ei, gepocheerd ei en een worstje. Met zichtbaar genot aten ze het op. De appelsap was gemaakt in de buurt. Mijn vrouw had 'The Beast' met alles wat je mag verwachten van een Engels ontbijt. Zelf had ik een High Tea met sandwiches met zalm en een creme kaas, een overheerlijke scone en een erg lekkere brownie die door de kinderen werd opgegeten.

Great little place... Very good food.... Friendly local staff... Yes..would go again

Had lunch with a friend, has a nice atmosphere and the food was excellent, would recommend

We had the all day breakfast, with swaps for me from black pudding to tomatoes and from chips to hash browns. Excellent bacon and sausage, perfect eggs, very filling. Lovely apple juice and coffee alongside.

A lovely place for Saturday morning breakfast. Service was spot on. Food was good and well worth the money. Recommended.

What a lovely warming place this is. Staff friendly and helpful nothing is to much trouble. The place is so lovely with old and interesting pictures but with a cosy friendly atmosphere. Food looks smells fantastic and the taste is out of this world with the locally sourced ingredients is a fantastic touch. Definitely be returning to this little gem

We went Friday night for a meal. The food was delicious and plenty to choices on the menu. The staff friendly and the service was great. We will definitely be returning. Thank you.

The bake house is a hidden gem! Highly Recommend. Breakfast was insane & seated a large table of us all served super quick. Thankyou so much!

This is an absolute GEM! Such great food and some really delicious takes on good staple lunches. Everything really fresh and exceptionally tasty. Would highly recommend.

Amazing food, service and atmosphere! Great selection of coffee, cakes, and meal options for all tastebuds and dietary requirements! Still pop your head in to see if there are tables available, even if it looks full, as there is a large dining area out of view from the high street with lots more tables!

What a lovely place this is! Called in for a spot of lunch. Welcoming and friendly, with one of those menus that are difficult to choose from - in a good way. Everything sounded wonderful, and sure enough the open sandwich proved to be every bit as tasty as it sounded. Quality ingredients (good bread makes such a difference to a sandwich) put together by people who clearly know what they're doing. Country portions too - you won't go hungry. Overall, food and service to make your day a better one. Highly recommended.

Really lovely cafe, much bigger than it looks from the outside with dining room at the back, light and airy. Lovely breakfast and coffee. Lovely staff.

Nice little tea shop with an attractive food menu

The people here are so lovely and the food is proper farmhouse special stuff. I would love to know where they get everything from! It's much bigger than expected too as it extends to the back, perfect for families and doggos

Definitely coming here again. Food is top quality 👌

Lovely lunch today, food presented nicely and staff very friendly

We always pop in here for lunch on our way to Forest Glade Holiday Park. Fantastic portion sizes, very cosy and welcoming. Dog friendly. Love it x

Tasty breakfast (great after Park run!), but would recommend booking!

Nice cosy atmosphere with friendly family staff, standard menu has nice options and there are always nice specials to choose from (the smoked salmon sandwich bangs). Enjoy when they open for evenings too.

Can't fault it. Great food, lovely staff and a lovely atmosphere. Go out of our way to come back here.

Visited The Bakehouse in January 2024 with my friend and was delighted by the g/f options. I had the 'bubble and squeak' with poached eggs which was the best lunch out I've had in a very long time. Absolutely scrumptious.

Superb food! Very nice atmosphere.

Very nice stop for a great brekkie

We love to do cafe hunting and this time we give a try to this super amazing cafe. Lovely ambient, super helpful staff to the scrumptious food. Can’t recommend enough for this cafe👍🏻👍🏻

Love this place! Only cafe I know where it's a good idea to book in advance. A stop-off treat when travelling to Exeter or beyond. Fantastic breakfasts and lovely cakes. Friendly and helpful staff.

Great service, delicious meals and a lovely venue.

A very good choice for our cooked breakfast: a proper "full English" and both vegetarian and vegan cooked breakfasts. And the specials looked tasty, and seasonal

Absolutely delicious squash soup, incredible houmous, perfect chunky chips. Very friendly and cosy with a great atmosphere. There is a 'sharing table', and a real neighbourhood feeling.

Cosy lunchtime with delicious food. I enjoyed the mushroom soup and toasties.

We stopped in Cullompton on our way elsewhere so that we could have a leg stretch after a long journey. After a walk around the town we saw The Bakehouse and being dog friendly decided to pop in. Friendly service and great atmosphere we decided to have something to eat as well as a drink. An americano and a luxury hot chocolate, with the hot chocolate actually being hot unlike so many places where it is lukewarm and you end up finishing it two minutes later. This was creamy and a good helping of marshmallows! We then ordered a bakehouse toastie consisting of cheddar and mozzarella with hogs bottom tomato and red onion chutney. It was like a meal in itself and a very impressive and fresh side salad. We also ordered the crispy fried halloumi wrap with rocket, peppers, red onion and chilli sauce. Again, a large serving with great side salad. Both meals freshly made and piping hot, so chance for them to cool down a bit and enjoy the surroundings of the premises. A great place and one we will be sure to visit again next time we pass through. Oh whilst I am a Costa coffee fan, which is just on the opposite side of the road, I implore people to support The Bakehouse team where you get freshly prepared on-site food and drink at prices more competitive than you will get in any major chain coffee house.

Although not busy it took ages for the scones to arrive. I think we were forgotten.

First time visitors. What a chilled, comfortable venue. Its bigger than it looks from the outside with a nice dining room at the rear if you fancy with a lovely looking fire for when it's cold. I had jacket potato with lovely crunchy coleslaw, roasted vegetables and blue cheese. Jackets can sometimes be a bit boring but this was excellently cooked and presented. Washed down with a glass of merlot. Can only thoroughly recommend the whole experience. Sometimes you DO get what you pay for and I felt we definitely got value for money here.

The Bakehouse is a fantastic place to come for a meal or just a bit of tea and cake. The food is so delicious and always prepared and presented beautifully. And of course, the staff are wonderful! I can highly recommend popping in to The Bakehouse!

Great stop off for lunch. Can’t fault it at all.

Went in for lunch with my wife Friendly service, comfortable. I had a smoked salmon, cream cheese and rocket leaf sandwich on local granary bread which came with a good leafy salad. The sandwich was huge and well made. My wife had the quiche of the day, which went down well and she couldn't finish it, which is fine. We thought the tea wasn't strong enough but I guess it's a question of personal taste. I wouldn't say it was cheap: over £25.

Excellent breakfast and lovely staff . Great stop on our way home from Dartmout in Devon. Shall hopefully come back

A destination eatery on the ways to and from Cornwall. Easy parking in Tesco’s and excellent food and service the third year running for us and better every time.

Nice coffee shop and the cakes are divine. Well worth a visit.

Lovely cafe, very nice staff, lovely food.

Always fantastic. The food is superb, staff and atmosphere welcoming and relaxed; I'll always go here and highly recommend.

Excellent food and the staff are really helpful. Will definitely use again when in this area. Very good location.

Excellent coffee. The flat white was hot instead of the usual barely hot. Very friendly service and cozy atmosphere. Would like to come back to eat sometime.

What a lovely place, very friendly and very welcoming to dogs! Excellent coffee, homemade soup and delicious cheese and chive scones. The atmosphere was great, thoroughly enjoyed it all and wish I had somewhere like this where I live. Thank you!

Met a friend for coffee.... First time here. Lovely little café... Great atmosphere and very welcoming staff. Only had coffee, so I can't comment on the food... although judging by how the food looked that was coming out for other people... I'd definitely come back and eat next time!

Fun place! Friendly service and great food.

Quick pit stop on way home to Liverpool from Cornwall We wanted to stop off for a quick sandwich somewhere not too far off motorway and my god what a sandwich we got! Huuuge door stoppers which we’re absolutely delicious! Home made and tasty! You won’t go wrong here on the way to/from Cornwall!

Pleasant and attentive service, excellent food.

Stopped on our way through from Cornwall. Great to find a dog friendly cafe. Absolutely fantastic food and great service - attentive without being pushy. Would highly recommend. Food was fresh and tasty. Didn’t get any photos of the food so have added a couple of the dogs lol! Thank you very much!

Lovely food, always served with a smile!

Ordered a Bacon, Brie and Cranberry Toasted Sandwich. On arrival it was clearly undercooked. The cheese was not melted and the bacon was cold and not cooked. Mentioned this to a member of staff who took it away. This was replaced with either the same sandwich or a new sandwich that was cooked and was hot to touch. Don't know how they cook there toasties but it appeared as though all the ingredients had been put into two slices of bread and toasted all together. Not the best and won't be returning.

Lovely accidental find, when making a pit stop in Cullompton. Excellent food (try the halloumi!), friendly service and the back room where we ate was full of character. Reasonable prices. Thoroughly recommended.

Restaurant and cafe, next to Cullompton Town Hall. Extra tables at the back.

We stopped here for a quick takeaway coffee and were really impressed by the cosy decor. The staff were pleasant and there was a good selection of cakes. We’d have stayed for lunch had we had more time.

Amazing food and service as always. Great place to stop and break the journey down to cornwall. It's one of our favourite places to eat..highly recommend it!

We were staying close by and found this lovely cafe! We went twice in 2 days it was that good! Delicious food and coffee, and all the staff were amazing. Thank you! Xx

Found this lovely little coffee shop from the Extra Mile book, 5 minutes off the M5 and free on street parking for an hour, we went for the scones with jam & cream and a cappuccino, definitely worth the drive off the motorway the scones were delicious and the cappuccinos were excellent. All the staff were friendly and welcoming ,the place was clean as were the toilets, will definitely call in again when we find ourselves down that way.

What a great place to have lunch instead of the motorway. Was worth the extra miles. Highly recommend booking to avoid disappointment. The coffee and cakes out of this world. 😋

Leckeres Essen, frisch zubereitet, Mix aus traditioneller und moderner Küche, guter Kaffee aus Siebträgermaschine. Ich empfehle Tischreservierungen zur Lunchtime und Platz im "Dining-Room" ganz am Ende des Lokals.

I was given a voucher for an Afternoon Tea here and my husband and I enjoyed every minute of our visit! The staff were so friendly in a relaxed yet efficient way, the food arrived having chosen our sandwiches and cake. I had the ham sandwich and it was delicious as was the cheese and chutney. Scones were excellent and we took the cake home with us and some sandwiches so we can enjoy them later. I would really recommend trying this restaurant. The menu is varied and offers quite a lot of vegetarian options. We will definitely be going back! You made the trip feel special!

This is a lovely family run cafe which serves a really good breakfast. The hot chocolate speaks for itself.

Perfect. Can't wait to go again. Great breakfast.
