Excellent crepes and coffee in a lovely cafe.

Vann Boy

A pleasant place with a nice atmosphere and good food and drink. It was a little expensive for what was received.

Popped in for a quick bite to eat around lunchtime. Seated at a table right next to the toilet which was *really* unpleasant- around 10 people in the space of the 30 mins we were there got up and used the toilet and when you are eating….. it’s quite off putting to smell and see the toilet. The door opens in the direction of the table so any smells unfortunately are quite obvious.We asked to move tables as one became free whilst we were there - only to be told that they had a reservation for that table in 30 mins time (we would’ve been gone by then). I understand they want to squeeze as many tables into a tiny space but I really think they should ditch the table by the toilet or ideally move the toilet completely. Food OK although I asked for a banana crepe and got strawberries instead. Won’t return.

Went in for a coffee. Very lovely and friendly staff but the coffees were HUGE. Ordered a flat white and got a cup I would use for a latte. Good snacks though!

Excellent crepes, lively

Lovely little place. Nicely surprised by the galettes quality. Quite nice (being French, i have quite some to compare to). The sandwiches were tasty, but the plate presentation was very modest. Nothing else was given, just the sandwich cut in half. No side salad or tomatoes. I had a salad bowl which was quite nice. Price/quality was good.

Have walked the exe estuary many times . Normally take sandwiches. However today stopped here for lunch. All I can say is fantastic. Baguette choice great and very tasty. The biscoff brownie was off the scale. Will be going again.

Excellent lunch, very friendly staff and really good coffee. We found this cafe by accident by following the A sign, glad we did.

I have visited this lovely cafe loads of time as their coffee is gorgeous. However, we decided to order a ham and Emmental baguette - what a disappointment! One piece of sliced packet ham and one piece of sliced packet Emmental. This should have been doubled or tripled up as all I tasted was the baguette which could have done with being warmed for longer. The staff here are lovely but I’ll stick with just the coffee in future

We tried to go here on a Sunday. Food looked nice on the menu but when we entered, the waitress completely ignored us, then we we went to sit she was quite rude telling us to wait. We waited, then another group walked past us and sat down. When we sat down our table wasn't cleaned properly and no one spoke to us. We ended up leaving before ordering.
