Tell your gluten-free friends, tell your veggie friends – heck, tell ALL your friends and then hotfoot it here for a taste test asap! The Feel Good Larder is a brilliant new gluten-free café in Barnstaple, a dream come true for anyone who’s sick of stirring a cake-less coffee while their OH tucks into a delicious brownie.

But no more, people! Here to right the g-f wrongs, owners Sam and Stu are serving up a colourful coeliac-friendly, veggie/vegan menu of salads bowls, homemade cake, smoothies and coffees, all crammed with local, seasonal ingredients for our delectation.

Opened winter 2023, The Feel Good Larder was born from Sam’s own experience of wheat-intolerance (ie;suffering menus with little or nothing she could eat) so you’re in expert hands, while Stu is a trained Boston Tea Party barista.

They’ve already gained a faithful tribe of fans, and not just because they go beyond the usual café fare of sandwiches and baked spuds. You’re guaranteed a chilled community vibe, evidenced by the featured local artists walls, and the regular chatty cafés and meet-ups. Kids like it and pooches tell me they love it too. (yep, I speak pooch).

See you for a beetroot and turmeric matcha latte? I hear it’s very, very good…
