Independent coffee and brunch spot on Totnes high street
We roast nothing ourselves but we choose carefully and every cup is made to order by someone who knows what they're doing. Food is simple, seasonal and made in our own kitchen each morning.

The café started with just two of us behind the counter and a menu written on a chalkboard that changed more often than we'd like to admit while we worked out what people actually wanted. Nearly a decade on, the chalkboard is still there, though the menu has settled into something closer to a routine, with room for seasonal changes throughout the year.
We buy as much as we reasonably can from suppliers within Devon, from the bread and bacon on our breakfast plates to the vegetables in our soups and salads. It costs more than buying everything from a single wholesaler, but it means we know where our food comes from and can talk to customers about it honestly.
Down at the café
Spring menu launch
We moved the lunch menu over to spring vegetables in March, with a new soup and two new salads on the board.
Acoustic evenings at the café
Once a month we push the tables back and host a local musician for a low key evening after normal closing time.
Meet our coffee roaster
We've used the same small roastery in Exeter for the best part of a decade and wanted to explain why.
