Fabulous hot chocolate!Posted on GoogleJames Arnold23 September 2026Fantastic food and staffPosted on Googlesteve sharratt19 September 2026What an absolute gem of a cafe, the food menu is divine and they cater for VG/Veggies plus GF n DF so you can have the “allergy/dietry free delights you crave for” we had GF and DF cream teas and the wine list is EPIC and you won’t get a better choice anywhere else in L&L 😎👍👊👊👊Posted on Tripadvisor

Thank you for my lost orange bag !!!! Delicious food beers and wine I had souvlakia sandwich and husband had club sandwich all filling, but we managed to share 3 mini chocolate scones Would like to come back soon to sample some of the large range of scones I would just like to say a Hugh thank you not only for the excellent service by the two of you but for coming out of the cafe sometime later when we were returning to the car to ask if I had left my bag. This would have caused me so much anguish as I had not missed it and the cafe is closed next day when our holiday finished. But the kind gentleman said he would have posted it to us. Excellent Service The constant stream of people wanting a table tells you this is a special place Our food and drinks were great go and see for yourself Thank you so much hope to see you soonPosted on GoogleMick Gregory31 August 2026A truly wonderful little cafe in a beautiful small coastal town. The atmosphere and service were excellent, friendly but definitely not overwhelming attention to customers. Lovely food and the sort of timescale for a small cafe with regards to service. Everything about this place is nice, from the welcome to the cheery goodbye. Price wise it was good value. Can be difficult to get a seat inside if busy but there is seating outside if the weather is kind. Like I say, it can get busy but that’s a good thing surly, no one wants to frequent a cafe that has no customers 😊 Would definitely go back and wholeheartedly recommend this place.Posted on GoogleGillian Jackson27 August 2026Popped into the North Coast Cafe while on a day trip to Lynton and Lynmouth had a fantastic cream tea Large warm scones the absolute best I’ve ever had served with ample strawberry jam and clotted cream enjoyed with Breakfast tea The service was better than some five star hotels highly recommendPosted on TripadvisorPatrick L27 August 2026Amazing Amazing food, drinks and service! Staff are fantastic! So good we went back twice and were only in Lynton for 3 days! Vegan options are great, thanks all, we will see you again soon!Posted on Facebook

Beautiful cafe, exceptional hosts! Delicious array of goodies. Scones are perfectly paired flavours and fillings. Wish we'd found you sooner. Made our day after a walk at Valley of the Rocks. Xx❤️😋😍😘Posted on FacebookDaniel Whitfield25 August 2026Just had the Bifteki burger - it was to die for!!! Delicious flavours from the meat, the feta and the herbs, perfect!!! Highly recommend this venue and menu 👌Posted on TripadvisorIan L17 August 2026Cafe & Scone Heaven This cafe specialises in the most wonderful scones of many different flavours both sweet and savoury. In fact you can try a trio sample of both if you’re not sure what to have. In addition there are many other choices on the menu including some lovely light lunch bites. The coffee is superb & service from the owners exemplary. They have both created a really charming & tasteful ambience. An excellent cafe on all levels. Thank you Jason & Neal.Posted on GoogleDaniel Brooks16 August 2026A wonderful visit! Brilliant atmosphere, service and food! I highly recomend the scones (any or even better ALL of them)!Posted on GoogleLeanne Healing9 August 2026Staff are very friendly and welcoming. We sat outside the weather was lovely. We had a coffee and scones they were so nice . Definitely would recommend and will be going back again.Posted on GoogleHannah7 August 2026What a cute and cozy place this was, the perfect place for a comforting dinner. With loads of vegetarian options and also a good selection of wine. The owner was very friendly too. Wish we could go back and try more things!Posted on GoogleT58687 August 2026Lovely little Gem!! Nice friendly staff & the Best selection of Scones ever!!! Couldn't decide which flavour 2 choose so had 3 x mini & were all delicious Apple crumble was my favourite! Amazing Club sandwich 2 Def recommendPosted on TripadvisorJennifer N1 August 2026Fabulous little café A lovely independent little cafe snuggled intuition a picturesque street in Lynton. DEFINITELY worth a visit. The food is superb, all cooked fresh to order and served by a friendly and polite chap we think is also the owner. The café is small, but laid out well, so it's not a crowded feel, even when full. Tastefully decorated and absolutely spotless, a delight to visit. Whether just for a drink, or a delicious lunch, you won't be disappointed. Huge selection of scones and fillings too. Do try one - and return for another!Posted on GoogleSchnaider Orsolya28 July 2026Best scones, friendly service. It's truly worth it.Posted on GoogleLucy Walker28 July 2026We had the best gluten free club sandwich and a chicken and bacon sandwich, which even came with GF pretzels! Fillings were delicious and generous and the gf bread was delicious, a refreshing change from anywhere else I’ve been.Posted on TripadvisorLiam J24 July 2026Can’t wait to come back! I visited the other day with my Girlfriend. What a fantastic experience. To start, the coffee is incredible, being able to choose between different roasts is not something you see in an everyday café. The Latte Art was extremely impressive! The Menu was extremely inclusive and included amazing Graphics of the food. Clearly displaying its portion size aswell as being extremely accurate! I had the Ham & Chicken Hog, which must I say, was delightful. It was very filling, I couldn’t even finish it! The side of mini pretzels were a lovely little touch. The attentive customer service made the whole experience feel less like a customer, and more like a guest. It’s an independent Cozy Café which has incredible Decor all around to match the theme of the Coast! Will definitely be Visiting again, and hats off to the chef for the amazing Bagel!Posted on TripadvisorLaurence J23 July 2026Amazing One of those places where everything is just perfect. Superb food, great vibe and atmosphere, beautiful decor, super friendly and helpful hosts. Cannot recommend highly enough.Posted on GoogleBeckie Herring20 July 2026Lovely little cafe with wonderful coffee! Owners attention to detail is unmatched.Posted on GoogleAnn Fawcett18 July 2026The bagels are to die for! It is the best bagel I’ve ever tasted. The club sandwich was also amazing! Very friendly owners who were extremely on the ball. Presentation and taste must be really important to the owners because both were 10/10. I would really recommend this cafe to anyone visiting the area. Service was incredibly fast, we were told there would be a wait for food but it was out within about 5 minutes which is incredible! Best lunch I’ve had in a long time. Thank you very much There was a couple next to us who had a dog and the owners were straight out with a bowl of fresh water for their furry friend so it is definitely dog friendly!Posted on Googlesophie eggenschwiler18 July 2026Absolutely top-notch and excellent. Go without hesitation. Very warm welcome, and the scones and bagels are generous and delicious.

(Translated by Google, see original)Posted on GoogleIan Wilcock10 July 2026Afternoon visit. Tea and scones. Scones home baked - really good quality and lots of types to choose from. Very friendly welcome.Posted on GoogleDavid Chandler8 July 2026We noticed that North Coast Cafe offers evening dining on select nights, so we decided to give it a go. We were particularly attracted because of the vegan and vegetarian options on the area, as Lynton is a little limited in this regard. I had a vegetarian bagel, this was a “Greek Garden” with Feta, Black Olives, Roasted Red Pepper, Salad, Oregano and Mayo. It was delicious, with a generous filling. My partner went for a vegan club sandwich. As the menu says, this is big! You get three slices of thick toast with Beetroot Falafels, Tomato, Vegan Cheddar, Red Onion, Cucumber, Lettuce, Tomato Relish and Vegan Mayo. It looked and tasted amazing. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel welcome and we loved the decor of the cafe - it’s a relaxing and friendly space. We also enjoyed chatting to other customers. The welcoming nature of North Coast seems to attract an eclectic group of people and conversations just started up! We had a lovely evening and enjoyed it so much, we popped back for a vegan scone the next day! We will be back 👍🏻☺️Posted on GoogleManuel Suder8 July 2026Perfect, thank you!Posted on GoogleDave Price8 July 2026Fantastic. Extensive menu with great choices. Superb cream teas, amazing quality for a great price. Great service.Posted on GoogleK R6 July 2026
Food was delicious although we did have a long wait even though it wasn't busy. Good variety available but limited seating. Found the way this cafe is run rather odd, turning customers away for various reasons, no takeaway, no highchair, not enough tables or seats, etc. It is dog friendly but no dog menu available and their is a cat on the premises which upset the dogs that were present.Posted on TripadvisorAdrian B29 June 2026We always look forward to our next visit. Last minute idea of a treat on our 40th Wedding Anniversary was another little trip to Lynton and another visit to this wonderful little Cafe. We both had Souvlaki Chicken Bagels followed by Chocolate Black Forest Scones “Wunderbar!” As ever warmly welcomed, pleasantly served and reasonably priced. Thanks 🙏Posted on TripadvisorJames P18 June 2026What a way to spend a lunchtime! Excellent food with wonderful variety, nothing was too much trouble for the hosts - we had splendid sandwiches and superb scones. Terrific atmosphere!Posted on TripadvisorKeith A17 June 2026Great find. Friendly staff with great customer service. We both had the cheese scones which were delicious.Posted on GoogleTom Owen16 June 2026What a fantastic place. Me and my girlfriend came in tonight just for a drink, despite us coming in around 30mins before closing time we were made to feel more than welcome by the member of staff on duty. He was very friendly and made us feel really welcome. I had a hot chocolate and can easily say it’s the best I’ve ever had! And my girlfriend couldn’t fault her iced coffee either. Will definitely be returning here in the future. Thank you.Posted on TripadvisorEric W13 June 2026Great place for a cream tea Excellent cream tea (well, actually coffee and scones) here. They have speciality scones but the traditional plain scone with clotted cream and jam really hit the spot, and the coffee (macchiato for me) is very good. So good we went there twice!Posted on TripadvisorUrsina4 June 2026Worth it! Very friendly welcome and prompt service. Perhaps the only café in town that doesn't close at 4 pm. I tried some of the exceptional scones, a tea I hadn't tried before (Emperor Grey), and lamb stew – delicious! Overall, a relaxed, quiet atmosphere, good quality, yet not too expensive. I would definitely visit again if I'm in the area.
