Flat whites in proper china, from an espresso setup strong enough to pull walkers off the coast path by smell alone. Someone has compared the quality to Melbourne, and they weren't being ironic.

A Combe Martin counter where the flat white earns the Melbourne comparison.

What we love

  • Flat whites served in proper china cups and saucers
  • Espresso environment strong enough to draw people in off the street by smell alone
  • The Melbourne quality comparison has come up, and not as a joke

Float★★ Specialty
Ilfracombe

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.

Meraki Coffee Co.★★ Specialty
Woolacombe

Devon Coffee Company supplies the beans, and the coffee here pulls in its own regulars independent of the brunch offer. Worth the stop on South Street.

Croyde

A coffee truck in Croyde with a flat white consistent enough to bring people back the next morning, and views of the bay while you drink it.
