Great breakfast, reasonably priced. Hot chocolate that is actually hot and a POT for green tea!!! And they allow dogs. Lovely.

the food and drinks somehow managed to cast a shadow on the lovely service ! joyful little gem to start your day off at <3

Stopped here for breakfast, we got a friendly welcome and excellent service. The food was decent and priced ok.

We visited here after trying to get a table in Wetherspoons around lunchtime. The food was excellent (I had a large breakfast which was fantastic) and my wife had a jacket potato which was pretty large and looked great. The staff were friendly and punctual and the interior was clean and well laid out. Prices were reasonable for what you received. We would visit here again next time we're in Exmouth.

Totally smashing cafe, food was delicious, staff absolutely delightful. 100% recommend stopping by if your in the area. Weather was nice so we had the pleasure of sitting outside too

Lovely clean café, friendly staff, nice cake and an amazing cup of tea

Friendly staff and good food. Breakfast well priced.

I want to say a heartfelt thank you to The Bayleaf for looking after us today. The food, hospitality and atmosphere was exceptional. The lady who looked after us was lovely, warm and very considerate. The eatery was light, airy and spotlessly clean. It has been many years since I was based down this way and walking round Exmouth was quite surreal and provoked a lot of memories. As I mentioned to the lady who served us, my compliments to the kitchen and to you all. Kindest regards Steve (the guy with the crutch lol)
