Wow what a start! It was close to the wire but we were just about ready when we opened our doors for the first time on Friday. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for our first weekend. We feel so supported by the amazing Ilfracombe community and the many lovely friends who came out to join us. We had the most amazing time, the sun was shining, the sea glistening and the food was brilliant thank you so much .winkle for being our first pop up chef - you were awesome!

This weekend will be a quieter affair, we will be serving coffee, cake, pastries and fab ice cream on Friday and Saturday

Look forward to welcoming you soon!

Hi! We are Becki and Paul and are so excited to share that after a lot of hard of work we are almost ready to open a new cafe in Ilfracombe!

We moved to Ilfracombe a couple of years ago after spending lots of time here and falling completely in love with the town. A big part of this is the great community here and starting this venture shows us even more what a great decision it was to move here. We have made some amazing friends and have had so much encouragement and support from them in doing this. We have also had help from the most brilliant group of tradesmen you could wish to meet who have helped us turn the space into something we think is pretty special. Often going above and beyond, coming in weekends, at short notice and doing the most outstanding work! Can’t thank you enough - Ross - Justin - Zac

We are starting slowly, and plan to evolve over time but hope to bring you a relaxed friendly space to enjoy a coffee and a pastry and watch the boats come in. We are starting with Fridays and Saturdays, daytimes and some evenings. We have something really exciting for our first weekend! Watch this space!

Hope to welcome you to share this space very soon!
