The Cafe At The Car Wash

The Cafe at the Car Wash does exactly what its name promises - it's a working hand car wash on Pound Lane with a proper cafe attached, so you can sit down with a coffee and a full breakfast while your car gets cleaned outside. It takes all vehicle types, from ordinary cars and 4x4s to MPVs, minibuses and vans, and the cafe serves breakfasts, lunches and light dinners alongside sandwiches and salads - reviewers single out the prawn and avocado salad as a lighter option next to the cooked breakfasts.

It's a no-frills setup that leans on value rather than styling: reviewers describe generous, reasonably priced breakfasts, friendly staff and clean facilities, more than you'd expect at a car wash. With a 4.5-star rating from around 200 Google reviews, it's become a genuine local favourite in Exmouth rather than just somewhere to kill twenty minutes while your car dries - people come back for the food on its own merits.
