A PLACE WORTH KNOWING

Find the green little courtyard behind the café

Plants, timber tables and a secluded courtyard off Sidmouth High Street. A relaxed café with plenty for both plant-based and omnivorous appetites.

The Courtyard rewards a little curiosity: behind the café frontage is a sheltered pocket of greenery and timber seating. It is the sort of setting that can make a simple coffee feel like a proper break from a town walk. Gail and Shane have run the café since 2019, with local sourcing and sustainability shaping their approach. The menu gives vegan dishes their own space alongside the other options, so mixed groups have more to consider than a single substitute. Start with breakfast, stay for lunch, or order a drink and enjoy the plants around you.

The lovely little details

  • Botanically inspired café with a rear courtyard.
  • Separate vegan choices alongside the main menu.
  • At 128 High Street in Sidmouth.
