Fantastic October Family Lunch We went to the Babbacombe Bay Cafe for lunch yesterday. It was the first time I had been but we have already booked to go again. The ambience was stylish and the staff were friendly. The food was amazing. Between our group we had the bacon and brie sandwiches which were perhaps the best we have ever had, the chicken strippers were to die for, the focaccia fish sandwich got rave reviews and the soup was thick and delicious. We watched what other diners had too and every meal looked fantastic. There was a range of soft drinks too. The apple and elderflower could be recommended. All in all we had a memorable lunch. The place, food, drink and staff were all great.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

★★★★★ A Babbacombe gem: breakfast done right I can't recommend Babbacombe Bay Cafe highly enough. The breakfast was absolutely delicious: generously portioned, cooked to order and piping hot, with fresh ingredients and real care on the plate. Every mouthful hit the spot. The service was first class from start to finish. The team were warm, attentive and genuinely welcoming, and everything arrived promptly without any sense of being rushed. It's the kind of friendly, professional service that makes you feel looked after. Add the lovely Babbacombe setting and you have the perfect way to start the day. I be back very soon, and I'd happily recommend it to locals and visitors alike. Five stars well deserved.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Incredible, delicious, 10/10! My partner and I visited this weekend, and couldn’t believe the quality, presentation& absolute deliciousness of the food! It was so good that we went back 2 days in a row and tried new dishes, that were also incredible. Consistency, high quality & a real luxury feel at a very fair price! We wish we lived closer as we’d become new regulars for sure. Lovely staff, outstanding chefs. Genuinely the best food we have ever eaten. And we eat out a lot!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()
