Fore St0.1 mi from Ilfracombe centrelast reviewed June 2026

Single-origin coffees from Ethiopia, Rwanda, and Brazil with processing method and cultivar detail, in an Ilfracombe surf shop that makes no attempt to signal it.

The Ilfracombe surf shop that sources single origins better than it advertises.

No 28 The Cookery★ Everyday

The cream teas lead and filter coffee follows. In Ilfracombe, that ordering is rarer than it sounds.

The Cabin Cafe★ Everyday

An Austrian-inflected menu in a warm High Street room, with a cappuccino that handles itself. The most distinctive stop in Ilfracombe.

Fika Boden Coffee★ Everyday

Named for the Swedish coffee-break ritual and meaning it. Worth a stop when the coast walk brings you through Ilfracombe.
