THE OLD BAKERY

The Old Bakery is everything you want from a quaint tearoom and then some. Karen’s right—sipping tea on their garden patio feels like a scene from a rom-com. With self-service options for drinks and cakes, it’s like a buffet but with a side of fancy. The local honey isn’t just a pretty label; it’s the kind of sweet that makes you rethink your entire relationship with sugar. Plus, the artwork displayed upstairs is a nice touch if you need to pretend you’re cultured.

Wei’s rave about the cream tea hits the nail on the head. It’s not too pricey, and you’ll leave feeling like you’ve just had a mini holiday. Honestly, whether you grab a cake to-go or sit and soak up the sun, this place gets a gold star for bringing a little slice of happiness to Branscombe. Just check the opening hours so you don't end up staring at a locked door like a sad puppy.
