A 10 minute drive from Lyme Regis on the Seaton /Sidmouth Road. It's a great place to go out for breakfast. It's an old petrol station where you'll find a help-yourself feast of fantastic breads (love the sourdough), croissants, pastries and a pot bubbling away waiting for you to boil an egg. Bacon and egg stacks and BLTs also available. Very laid back atmosphere.
