THE LOCK GATES CAFE

The Lock Gates Cafe is your average coffee stop with a side of pleasant surprises. It's like that friend who shows up with a cake you didn't expect. The coffee? Pretty good and not wallet-draining. The breakfast burgers and cakes are decent enough to keep you satisfied while you soak in the views of Bude. The staff are lovely, so at least you know someone cares about your experience. Just don’t expect to have an express meal; they might take their sweet time serving you

You’ll find it’s a decent place to recharge during your scenic coast drive, but don’t expect a Michelin-star extravaganza. The vibe is cozy, but if you're in a rush, you might find yourself tapping your watch. Still, if you want a place to sit back and unwind, it’s a safe choice for a pit stop.
