The Cuppa Cabin in East Devon

I was in two minds on whether to review The Cuppa Cabin. On the one hand it is a very unique place that serves great coffee and cakes and yet on the other Im worried it will get super popular as more and more people visit this wonderful place and it will get much harder to find a parking space!! This is literally 5 mins away from me and yet amazingly this was my first visit. I had looked at the place as I had driven past numerous times and thought it looked just like some sheds in a car park. How wrong I was, it is like a mini theme park when you get there, a collection of cabins with an eclectic mix of antique furniture, books galore and oddities, like a cross between an amazing junk shop, an old book store and Enid Blytons secret garden. I half expected to come across some pixies flying around. Anyway great coffee, lovely cheery lady and tasty cakes (pastries and other savouries are also available) what more could you ask for ?

What a great place for coffee. Interesting huts to sit in with old books and historical items. Each hut has a different character. I felt inspired to collect more quirky items of vintage interest. Coffee was good too.

Lovely setting eith the sheds and delicious home made food. Went with my daughter and her friends for a birthday treat. Zoe is lovely

What an amazing place! Fab coffee, delicious vegan cakes, in quirky cool surroundings. Highly recommend, thank you!!

Lovely place. Very friendly and relaxing. Different to normal snack cafe. Would definitely recommend. Ideal for meeting up with friends.

Quirky surroundings. Plenty of space. Service with a smile. Coffee great and tasty cheese scones. Very friendly

I love this place. It is so unique and serves fab coffee and cakes in an unusual setting in eclectic sheds. A great place to return and find second hand books to read too!

Amazing place for coffee/lunch/cake. Beautiful homemade cakes (plenty of choice of gluten free) Whole range of milks at no extra cost. Lovely quirky sheds to sit in and lots of outdoor seating in lovely little secluded areas. Perfect to meet friends and family or sit and read over a quiet coffee. Car parking and the added bonus of lots of second hand books! Very friendly service. Perfect!

On the Exmouth road in Ebford, hidden behind the green valley coffee sign lies a unique coffee shop experience. It is run by an independent trader who does everything herself. Its rated highly with 5 star reviews on trip advisor. Not like your ordinary coffee shop this place is full of fascination, colour and intrigue. When you walk in you are met with a variety of sheds that are designed around different themes. Themed seating, themed objects, themed books, themed artwork and more, decorate the sheds for you to sit in. Surrounding the sheds is industrial modern mixed with nature vibe such as plants planted in dustbins, bedsprings and milking equipment of the past hung on the walls, creating an eclectic environment. The theme continues when it comes to the mugs and plates you use to enjoy their variety of hot and cold drinks and cakes all baked daily by the owner herself. If cake doesn’t do it for you, then there you can also find homemade pasties, soup and bread. This wonderful café of curiosity is open Tuesday to Saturday from 8 am till 4pm. This an experience not to be missed and you will definitely want to come again.

I have wanted to visit here for a long time but never got round to it.I had to meet a friend from Bristol at the Exeter services so the cabin was a perfect coffee stop for us!!.Well it was not only as good as I had been told but exceeded my expectations!!.It simply has to be visited to understand its appeal.So much to look at & so many little seating nooks to choose from.The coffee & bakery items were excellent & even the loo is in keeping with the quirky theme.Cant wait to bring family & friends here now !

Like others I've passed this place so many times in and out of Exmouth but only visited for the first time today. It's a cafe with a lot of the usual items (coffee and tea, cakes and pastries) but what makes it different is that you can sit in any of their themed sheds whilst the day passes you by. Everything is eclectic and, at times, bonkers but truly fascinating (plants in rusting bed springs and wine racks and doors that don't go anywhere for example). You can even reserve your favourite shed to sit in!! The only rule is that apart from the cafe items you actually can't buy any of the sheds or plants - everything is just for display purposes. As I heard the lady in the cabin today say, on being asked how much the shed was, "If you like the look of something, the odds are you can't buy it"! All the books in all of the sheds are second hand and can be "bought" with a charitable donation.

A lovely place to go for a coffee or lunch. A lot of the soups and cakes are home made by the lovely Zoe who runs the cabin. Such quirky surroundings it just makes you smile. Hard to fully describe so go for a visit.

The lady in the cabin is lovely always pleasant and happy to help, Cakes are first class and really good value.

Haven't been since Covid but I gather it's running now. Always looked forward to visiting here (provided it's not TOO cold - or if it is a bit chilly then just wrap up .... but it's great in summer). Highly recommended.

What an absolute gem! We called at this quirky little restaurant on our way home from from Exmouth. The garden is laid out with ‘interesting finds’ and you can take your tea and cake in one of the many little cabins. Each one is unique, filled with little bits and pieces (including books and collectibles which you can buy for a donation to Urafiki, a charity which helps disadvantaged people in Kenya). It is well worth making a detour to visit this restaurant if you are anywhere in the Exeter/Exmouth area!

I cycled here off the great Route 2 cycle path with a friend and was enamoured with the quirkiness of all the things to see in and on the many little garden sheds. My eyes had a feast! After choosing which sedum decorated shed to sit in, my belly had a feast too on the delicious homemade cakes and coffee.

Truly unique! I've taken several friends here and they all love it. Get inspiration for unusual containers for plants, buy a second hand book, enjoy Zoe's lovely baking and smile whilst doing so. Workshops are organised for making things. I bought a seagull made of chicken wire mesh, now installed in our garden.

My husband and I popped in for a coffee after a boot sale. Loved it. Good coffee and cakes then we wandered around the sheds/summerhouses. Amazing. The sheds are full of furniture, bricabrac and books. You can purchase the books for a small donation to charity. You can sit and drink your coffee in any of the summerhouses. Took a friend last week, she loved it, bought my husband a stone statue of a Buddha. Went back the following day and bought another statue of a eagle. Great fun for children as well, a special cabin just for them. They also do craft classes.

Heard about this place through a friend. Went and checked it out a few weeks ago and now look forward to going every Tuesday for a 'treat'. Zoe makes terrific cakes and really yummy soups and she also makes the rolls to go with it too. It is so refreshing to go somewhere that the owner takes pride in using good quality ingredients which really helps fussy eaters like me :) The settings itself is a little wonderland and the sheds are full of books which you may purchase in aid of charity. Lots to look at and some really well planted 'old' things that would have seen better days, but are now lovingly reused and loved. Everything is well priced too so it suits all tastes. Do pop in and try it for yourself :) Not open on Mondays by the way but Tuesday - Saturday 8am - 4pm Well done Zoe with all that you do ... see ya soon :)

Delicious cake Friendly welcome from Zoe Altogether a fabulous spot for a coffee with friends Highly recommended

What a wonderful magical place! Something to see and to wonder at, at every turn. Lots of unusual ways to display plants and lots of ideas to take home. Totally relaxing and to top it all, the coffee is fantastic, as are the cakes. Am looking forward to many more visits in the future.

A great place to visit for a coffee , cake or a light lunch . Very friendly staff . Dog friendly . Relaxing atmosphere, good value for money . Highly recommended.

This little hidden place is a wonderful find. Filled with various sheds you can spend your time reading and relaxing, beautifully decorated with plants, books and crafts. The Cuppa Cabin serves a range of excellent quality hot drinks, food, snacks and handmade treats (cookies and cakes), which are vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free; all at very cheap prices! The owner of the Cabin, Zoe, is very friendly and welcoming - definitely a place to go if you are looking for feel good vibes!

Having been so impressed by our initial visits, this place has now become a regular haunt of ours. An ever changing variety of homemade cakes, a numerous tea/coffee options and great daily soups. Make sure you stop by next time you are passing!

A wonderful find, providing a wide variety of choices, including vegan, gluten free and non-dairy options. Extremely friendly service and excellent prices providing great value.A short de-tour off the Exe Estuary trail, with connecting cycle path, this café provides lots of space with multiple sheds, each with a different theme. Our new favourite café - we've been 3 times in the past week, and we can't wait for our next visit! This café is a must visit for everyone!

Having driven past pretty much daily for the last few months I thought I should give the Cuppa Cabin Ebford @ greenvalley ( former nursery ) a try. What a little gem. Great coffee, home made cakes, the smell of freshly baked pasties and to top it all, service with a smile. There’s both indoor and outdoor seating, plenty of parking and dogs are welcome. It’s well worth a visit.
