<p>Hidden away just off Topsham Quay, here&#8217;s Muddy&#8217;s fave place for a savoury galette, okay and maybe a crêpe for afterwards but only days with a &#8216;Y&#8217; in them. Try the ham, emmental cheese and fried egg, I think mine was made with buckwheat &#8211; anyway it was vegan and it was amazing. And they&#8217;re licenced so you can have a glass of vino or a cocktail while you&#8217;re at it.</p>

<p>Go traditional at this contemporary daytime café on Ilfracombe&#8217;s High Street, with homemade pancakes served up with a choice of the freshest of fresh summer berries, bacon and maple syrup or keep it simple with a squirt of lemon. Still hungry? We can recommend the locally made cakes and tray bakes, but then we&#8217;re just greedy.</p>
