A PLACE WORTH KNOWING
Coffee, croissants and a little heartbreak
A sunny Braunton bakery café for serious coffee, fresh pastries and a weekend doughnut detour.
Heartbreak is the kind of address that turns a quick coffee stop into the first part of the day. Behind the broad shop windows in Braunton, a simple room and a busy counter let the baking do the talking. The café opened in 2019, following the founders’ time in Melbourne, and its daily offer brings together bread, pastries and seasonal food from a small kitchen. Come for a coffee before browsing Caen Street, or give the weekend a sweeter start with a doughnut. They appear Friday to Sunday, with advance ordering available for anyone who already knows what they want.
