Selley's

Selley's is a licensed coffee shop and restaurant tucked into Libra Court off Fore Street in Sidmouth, close to the sea, with both indoor and courtyard outdoor seating. It runs on good, honest, local ingredients, with a menu that covers cakes, lunches, afternoon tea and gourmet coffee alongside vegetarian and gluten-free options.

Lunch dishes include crab sandwiches and a tomato soup and bacon combination that regulars keep coming back for, while the cake counter runs to fruit scones, almond pie and fruitcake. It opens Monday to Saturday from 9am to 4.30pm and Sunday 11am to 4pm, with a reputation for a cosy, friendly atmosphere and consistently good coffee.
