Happy Halloween Visit !
Visited a week ago today to enjoy the advertised ScreamTea with family . Babbacombe Bay Cafe, you most certainly have got this “right” … The food was delicious and service with a smile was enjoyed . The staff are friendly and very professional. Our pet dog even got to enjoy a puppy-chino ! Happy Days & highly recommend.

Wedding Anniversary Breakfast!
What a start to our Wedding Anniversary ! This little gem is set in a perfect location with a beautiful sea view . We opted to sit inside due to the fact that Storm Babet was on her way … This didn’t dampen our spirits or the spirts of the staff who were happy & smiling . The service is second to none and the premises is perfectly clean and tidy . What about the food ??? Absolutely scrumptious! Food was delicious , well presented & well worth the money !

Fantastic place
We booked a table for 10 of us and they made the table big enough for us all to sit together. Their was no hassle just great staff welcoming us as we all arrived nothing was too much trouble all our breakfast arrived at the same time. When the food was out of this world so nice. We go here once a year on our way down to Torquay. We would all like to say a Big thank you to All of the staff. ( If your that way try it and see. ) 👍

Fabulous lunch in beautiful location
Superb cafe on the sea front. We had a late lunch. The bay burger and ocean breakfast, both were amazing. The home made onion rings were lovely and the chips were stunning. The food is all sourced local and had a good gluten free choice too. The staff were lovely, very friendly and welcoming. Dogs are allowed and are given their own treats. Decor in cafe was beautiful with fresh roses on every table. Very worth the cost of £38 for the 2 substantial meals and 2 capacuinos.

Hidden gem with amazing food
LOVE this little gem! The food is delicious and the recently changed menus offer so much choice for everyone. The maple and sesame halloumi is out of this world - the coffee is tasty and freshly made properly rather than by pushing a button on a machine and a delicious selection of cakes are available to enjoy too. Highly recommend.

Good spot for breakfast
Delicious French toast with berries and yoghurt. I wish I knew what yoghurt they use as it was so good. A quick pit stop to help socialise my young dog after a walk along the coastal path. The staff were really gentle and understanding with the dog and brought her some little dog biscuits when I explained she is sometimes a bit nervous of people. Very friendly and efficient service. The view out to sea is very relaxing while you are eating.

Party Buffet
I can’t thank these guys enough for helping us with a buffet for my daughters 21st birthday party last minute when our caterers let us down. The food was amazing. You guys are amazing and saved the night, thank you again!

What a gem of a place - hadn't even noticed it before!! Was looking for somewhere to take my hubby for a birthday lunch with good gluten free options. A friend recommended we go here & I'm so glad we had that conversation!! Really friendly service, lovely decor & amazing food! Most of the menu was available as GF option for him. Had a couple of dishes from the ciabatta menu & it was as much as we could eat. Will definitely be back!!

Always enjoy our breakfasts here! Unfortunately, our last visit was a birthday one and the staff wasn't aware. Which meant that we had a wait during the busy period in the rain outside. (Our booking was confirmed online via email) but the lovely staff seated us as soon as possible and the birthday boy even got a free cake brought out with a candle! We will look forward to the next visit 👍

After a long hot walk along the South West Coast, we stopped for lunch here. We had a mango smoothie and an apple juice to cool us down and then had a fish finger chiabbata each. My goodness it was tasty, the pieces of fish were massive and the bread was a lovely texture. It is a lovely restaurant/cafe which beautiful decor. We will definitely be back.
