Discover Babbacombe Bay Cafe

Nestled along the scenic stretch of Babbacombe Downs Road, the Babbacombe Bay Cafe offers a charming and welcoming spot for anyone craving delicious food with a view. Located at 33/35 Babbacombe Downs Rd, Babbacombe, Torquay TQ1 3LN, this quaint cafe is the perfect stop for both locals and tourists exploring the area. Whether you're looking to enjoy a leisurely breakfast, a hearty lunch, or just a spot of tea with a view, the Babbacombe Bay Cafe has something for everyone.

The cafe's location gives it a distinct edge, with stunning views of the bay that provide a peaceful backdrop to your meal. Sitting by the window while you sip on your favorite coffee or tea, it's easy to forget the hustle and bustle of daily life. The relaxed atmosphere makes it an ideal place for a casual meet-up with friends or a peaceful solo retreat. The cafe offers both indoor and outdoor seating, allowing visitors to soak in the beauty of the surrounding coastal views while enjoying their meals.

One of the standout features of Babbacombe Bay Cafe is its menu, which is designed to cater to a wide variety of tastes. Whether you're in the mood for a classic English breakfast, a fresh sandwich, or something a bit more special, there's a dish to satisfy every craving. The breakfast menu is particularly popular, with options like scrambled eggs, toast, bacon, and a generous helping of grilled tomatoes that set the tone for a day of exploring. And if you're more of a brunch person, the selection of pancakes and pastries won't disappoint.

For lunch, the cafe offers a selection of freshly made sandwiches, light bites, and salads. The homemade soups, in particular, are a favorite during the colder months, providing a warm and comforting meal after a day of sightseeing. The fish and chips here also deserve a special mention-crisp, golden batter encasing a tender piece of fish, paired with perfectly cooked chips, it’s a classic done right.

In addition to the food, Babbacombe Bay Cafe is known for its range of beverages, from artisan coffee to refreshing cold drinks.

  • Absolutely lovely! This has to be one of the best places in Babbacombe. Friendly staff, awesome chef - we've never seen them but they really are good at the presentation, flavours and cooking, extremely clean and tidy, excellent value (steak and egg breakfast for £15? How they do that i dont know) and all with a great view over looking the sea and service with a smile. We've been here several times now and can't fault this place one bit. Pre-ordering is advised if a large group booking as I'm guessing everything is fresh which is reflected in the lovely meals. Highly recommended and we will definitely be back for many more visits. Thankyou.

  • 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.

  • Saturday morning breakfast. Busy but we found a table. Dog friendly, great views. Lovely staff and delicious food.

  • We visited twice during our week-long visit to Babbacombe. The first visit was on a very rainy Sunday afternoon for a scone and coffee. We were shown straight to a table by very friendly staff. The drinks came straight away, there was a little wait for the scone which they apologised for but we didn't mind because of the view. Food and drink was very well presented and very tasty. We then booked a table for breakfast for a couple of days later and would highly recommend the French toast for breakfast. The staff again were really friendly and the weather on this visit was much better, providing even better views of the bay. There is a lovely courtyard outside with plenty of seating to enjoy in the good weather.

  • What a great place for breakfast. I hade the Ocean breakfast which was a large English breakfast cooked to perfection. The service was fantastic and the atmosphere was great although as it busy it was very noisy. Overall we would definitely return.

  • A really delicious and generously portioned gluten free cream tea! Some of the loveliest GF scones I’ve ever had and lots of lovely clotted cream! Gorgeous atmosphere and views of the sea, and very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend!

  • First time visit to this lovely Cafe located on Babbacombe Downs with great views over Lyme Bay towards Exmouth. We enquired for a party of 16 following a family celebration and they were happy to accept and on the day seated us on a long table. The breakfast menu finishes at 11.45 so we had selections from the lunch menu. Service was very friendly and efficient although the cafe was busy and the food and drinks took a while to arrive however it was of good quality and value for money. It's a good place to relax on sofas as well set away in the corner. The restrooms were nice and clean and kids were welcomed. Outdoor seating is available. Would recommend even though prices were a tad expensive.

  • Wow what a find this cafe is. Went with 3 friends for lunch. Had the halloumi wrap which was amazing. Huge portions too. Couldn’t eat for the rest of the day! Jess the waitress was so lovely - friendly and a joy to deal with. She quickly cleared the table from the previous diners so we didn’t wait too long to get seated. Cafe was busy but service was good. Will definitely be back.
