My adventures, ever winding and wondrous, have led me to a quaint haven known as the Postcard Café in Exmouth. Here, I found myself most warmly welcomed, even as a dog, and 'twas a delight to discover that this establishment doth cater to both man and his faithful companion. The open space outside, abundant and inviting, is a veritable paradise for those summer days when the sun doth shine brightly upon us. With ample room to stretch one's legs and bask in the warmth, it is a setting most ideal for leisurely hours spent in good company. The atmosphere, relaxed and amiable, doth make one feel at ease, and the staff, ever courteous, ensure that all who visit—be they on two legs or four—are made to feel at home. In sum, the Postcard Café in Exmouth is a charming retreat, perfect for a summer's day, where the open space beckons and the welcome is as warm as the sun above.

Stopped off for a brew and a cake here on our travels and so glad we did. Reasonable prices, lovely cakes and fantastic service. It was brilliant! There is a good selection for wheat and dairy free diets which isn't easy to come by and was very welcome. Every cake we had was absolutely gorgeous

They offer gluten free options, which is great, and have really good tasting coffee. The staff are lovely and friendly, and took a keen interest in my day, and what I was up to. Made conversation and made me feel really welcome. Would definitely recommend. I had the mint chocolate cake, and a latte, which were beautiful.

Visited today, with our beautiful, slightly naughty, Jack Russell, Honey. Firstly it was great to sit inside in the warm with Honey! Friendly, smiley welcome from the owner. Everyone working there and other customers really friendly aswell! Interesting and very tempting menu, our lunch was delicious, just perfect. Had two slices of cake to take away, the best cake from a cafe I've ever had. We will return!!!

What a friendly, hospitable little corner café in Teignmouth. Very welcoming and chatty owner. On a corner plot with additional outdoor seating under cool shady trees. Lots of homebaked goodies, spoilt for choice on the cake front, but plumped for the fruit cake in the end. Very good cake. Stabbed by what felt like a sharp thorn in the cake but turned out to be a stalk on one of the fruit berries. Good choice of refreshments on an extensive, varied and reasonably priced menu. Dog friendly. Glad I chose this place for my tea break and if in Teignmouth again, yes, I would definitely revisit. Thank you for your warmth and hospitality and enjoy the Big 8 holiday!

We took our mum to Postcards for birthday cake, while out for the afternoon in Exmouth. The owner was really helpful. They put up a banner and made mum feel really special. The cake selection was fab and included gluten free options. Delicious drinks too. After looking at the brunch and lunch menus, we'll definitely visit again.
