Boston Tea Party Barnstaple

You'll find Boston Tea Party tucked away on Tuly Street, just off the main drag where it actually matters. It's the kind of place where they're genuinely bothered about their coffee—proper espresso machines, single-origin beans, the whole lot—but without any of the pretension that makes you want to order a builder's tea out of spite. The sourdough's excellent, the pastries rotate regularly (their croissants have actual lamination), and they do decent brunch if you can't face another chain café scrambled egg. It's become the unofficial office for half the town's freelancers and laptop workers, which tells you everything about the wifi and whether you can actually sit there for three hours.
