We popped in here just before closing time a couple of weeks ago. I spend a minute looking at the pasties through the window, they looked nice but not exactly the flavours I fancied, so we popped in to see if they had any more. When we went in I could see there wasn't anything else available, so I decided not to buy anything. My friend asked if they could do her a scone with butter to take away, she was quite bluntly told no, but they could chuck a scone in a bag for her without any butter. This wasn't what my friend wanted, so we left. Whilst we were stood outside we could hear shouting from inside the cafe, to my horror I heard the girl who we just spoke to in the cafe shout at the top of her voice 'how can they stand there for 5 minutes looking in the window, come in, then decide they don't want anything?...I HATE PEOPLE!' I've never encountered such rudeness from someone working in a shop before, safe to say I will not be going back, or...
Read moreThis is such a great place to eat - has to be the best cafe in Lyme.
We stopped in here for a family lunch - 4 adults and 2 kids. Everyone ordered different things from the menu and special boards, and everything was, without exception, absolutely brilliant.

Will unquestionably return next time I'm...
Read moreI walked in this cafe not holding out much hope that’s they would have much to offer that is GF as no where seems to! We were greeted by lovely friendly staff who informed me that the majority of their menu was GF or the items could be modified to become gf! We sat in the snug and were quickly seen to and bought our drinks. Now whenever I have something with gf bread it is NEVER buttered and unbelievably dry. I ordered the poached egg with avocado and the toast was buttered! The crispy chilli oil it came with was one of the best things I have ever tasted and I wish they sold it in jars! My Husband had a well filled fresh baguette which came with a full side salad with a dressing (which he loved) and my children had well portioned sandwiches. Super friendly staff from start to finish and they even help us when we asked about fossil hunting. An absolute...
