The Arches Beach Cafe & Takeout
Speciality coffee, proper cakes, wholesome lunches and a stunning view - welcome to Sidmouth's ultimate beach hub.
We offer a fine selection of sourdough ciabattas, proper toasties, hot breakfast rolls, hearty soup and huge cakes - all locally sourced locally from the West Country. Our coffee is legendary and, as we're often told, the best on the beach! Roasted with love in Sidmouth by Buzz Coffee Roasters, we use their beautifully rich 'Black Magic' blend to ensure that every single sip just rocks. We then pair this up with real Cornish milk for a coffee as it should be! With three alternative milks (oat, almond or soya), twelve flavoured syrups from Bristol based Sweetbird Syrups, and a multitude of other options, no where on the beach compares for your daily brew.
It's fair to say that the West Country packs a punch when it comes to incredible produce and we're delighted to support many of them in our eateries. With ice cream from Bath, coffee from Sidmouth and bread from Dorset, we've scoured the length and breadth of our wonderful region to find people who are passionate about what they produce and have assembled it together into tasty treats for you to enjoy. With over 80% of our produce sourced from Bristol to Lands End, you can rest assured that our food is, not only, of the highest quality, but also supports local people, local families and local communities!
