Jar Bakery
If you find yourself wandering through the charming streets of Sidmouth, a visit to Jar Bakery should definitely be on your itinerary. Nestled at 24 Fore St, this delightful cafe is more than just a spot for coffee; it’s a haven for those who appreciate fresh, quality food paired with a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
As you step inside, the initial appearance may seem a touch eclectic, with its cozy yet slightly worn decor that gives the place a character uniquely its own. Though some may find the ambiance reminiscent of a casual canteen, it’s precisely this unassuming charm that invites you to unwind and enjoy good conversation over delicious food.
Jar Bakery serves an impressive breakfast that will awaken your taste buds. Picture a hearty plate adorned with well-cooked ingredients, perfectly combined to create that quintessential morning experience. The coffee served is equally satisfying, giving you a rich and robust start to your day. Customer Melly Kennedy raves about this, highlighting “delicious” breakfasts crafted with care, and a delightful prompt service that ensures your time here feels special.
For a more relaxed lunch option, the menu offers a variety of tempting choices. The Cornish pasties, highlighted by customer Tim Husain, feature a thick, flaky crust that encases a thoughtfully seasoned steak filling, making each bite a savory delight. If you have a sweet tooth, you’ll be drawn in by the array of baked goods—impossibly delicious carrot cake and decadent millionaire shortbread to name a couple—urging you to treat yourself after your meal, as shared by Dominique Ricci.
What truly sets Jar Bakery apart, however, is its exceptional customer service. Guests like Jus Manser appreciate the tapestry of compassion woven by the staff, who go above and beyond to ensure every experience is a positive one—even offering complimentary cakes as an apology for any oversight. This genuine approach transforms a mere lunch outing into a cherished memory.
With ample seating available towards the back of the cafe, it is an inviting place to relax and enjoy your meal, whether you’re alone or with friends. The atmosphere encourages you to kick back, sip your coffee, and soak in the enjoyment of good food and great company.
In conclusion, Jar Bakery is more than a cafe; it embodies the spirit of community and cherished local flavor. So whether you’re in the mood for a hearty breakfast, a light lunch, or simply want to indulge in a sweet treat, make sure you stop by—your taste buds will thank you.
