The Coffee Mill

The Coffee Mill is a simple, outdoor garden café beside Lynmouth Harbour — a relaxed place to grab a coffee, enjoy a cake, and sit outside in one of the village’s sunniest paved gardens.

Everything is quick-service and counter-ordered, making it an easy stop for walkers, day-trippers and anyone exploring the riverside.

Outdoor Seating Close to the Harbour

The Coffee Mill offers a large, fully paved garden with plenty of outdoor seating, including some covered tables for shade or light showers. The garden sits just metres from the River Lyn, giving visitors broad views across the harbour and village frontage. Access is completely level from the pavement, so it’s suitable for wheelchairs, mobility scooters and prams.
