About The Babbacombe Beach Cafe
Right on the seafront at Babbacombe, this little café trades on a view that does a lot of the heavy lifting — flat concreted seating out front means a pram parks easily and children can be noisy without anyone minding. The owners have revolutionised the place since taking over, and the warmth shows: kids handed wet wipes with their ice creams, a basket of blankets for chilly days, possessions minded while you swim. Cake is the thing people come back for — Biscoff slice, cherry and peanut butter — alongside properly made coffee, elderflower drinks and rosemary fries that lift it above the usual beach menu. Gluten-free brioche rolls and vegan options are available, and the dog gets a treat too. High chairs and a kids' menu are on hand. Seasonal opening, so check before you set off.
