Welcome to L'image Cafe & Bazaar, an enchanting cafe nestled on 43 High St, Budleigh Salterton. This charming locale is not just a cafe; it's an experience that encapsulates the warm heart of Devon. With its rustic yet elegant decor and a cozy atmosphere punctuated by the glow of the fireplace, L'image invites you to take a breather from the bustling world outside.

When you step inside, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafts through the air, instantly welcoming you to explore their creatively curated menu. L'image specializes in a delightful mix of toasted sandwiches and paninis. Indulge in a brie, bacon, and cranberry panini, where the creamy brie meets the smoky bacon, creating a melody of flavors. Alternatively, try the smoked salmon and cheese bagel, perfect for a light yet fulfilling lunch or brunch. Their organic soup is a must for those seeking a wholesome option, while the sweet potato, garlic & feta filo pie offers a rich vegetarian delight that will leave your taste buds dancing.

The beautiful interior design coupled with a warm, inviting staff creates an atmosphere that is both relaxing and joyful. Customers rave about the friendly service; you truly feel like a valued guest. Russell Kent notes the welcoming atmosphere, particularly appreciating their pet-friendly policy—an element that makes this cafe even more special for dog lovers. Crystal echoes a sentiment felt by many, loved the gorgeous decor and the friendly staff, and she couldn't resist sharing how much she enjoyed her meal by the fireplace.

While many have been enchanted by their brunch offerings, it’s important to plan your visit accordingly, as James Gore wisely suggests, the cafe opens at 10 am. But once you’re inside, time seems to slow down, allowing you to savor each moment and every bite. Whether you’re here for a quick coffee break—perhaps one of their famed homemade cakes—or a leisurely afternoon lunch, L'image Cafe & Bazaar excels at making your dining experience memorable.

Additionally, for those looking for something beyond food, you can explore a captivating collection of uniquely decorative ornaments, as well as an interesting range of ladies' clothing available for purchase in the bazaar section of the cafe. Customers like David Archer have appreciated the thoughtful assortment available, showcasing the cafe as a hub of local treasures.

L'image Cafe & Bazaar is more than just a place to eat; it's a heartwarming escape where delicious food meets a cozy atmosphere, making it a staple for locals and visitors alike. Make sure to drop in on your next visit to Budleigh Salterton; you'll leave feeling nurtured and inspired. Don't forget to consider making a reservation if you're visiting during busy hours to ensure your spot in this lovely Devon treasure!

Lovely place, visit it quite regularly as we live in Devon. Places should advertise better if they allow dogs in, we don't all want to have to ask everytime. A nice big sign saying yes or no is great.

Really good. Went in for brunch. Very good quality, fresh food. Highly recommend. Just disappointing about opening times. If they opened earlier than 10am we would have gone for breakfast/brunch every day of our stay in Budleigh Salterton

Such a beautiful building to pop in and have lunch. We loved sitting by the fireplace and looking at all the pretty decorations. Staff were so friendly and welcoming and the food was delicious. We both had the salmon and cream cheese bagel which we enjoyed immensely. Somehow, we were able to find a table without a reservation but I would recommend making one as they can get quite busy. Will be coming back here when we are next in Budleigh

Lovely clean restaurant/cafe, good range of food from cakes (homemade) through sandwiches to full meals of the day and back to soup. Friendly smiling staff with good service plus for sale an eclectic range of ornaments for the home and an interesting range of ladies clothes.

Excellent place to drop in for coffee and cake, a light lunch or a full meal. The quality of the food and service is excellent and the prices are reasonable. They have just started to do a very popular Sunday Lunch. Happy to recommend.

When decided to pop in and see what L'image was all about, I was really Impressed by it's Authentic and Very Decorative Interior. Had a Good look at there menu and choose to have a Large Cappacino with a piece of Cake, i think it was Coffee and Walnut. When it came to my table served by a Friendly i felt very Happy and Welcomed. I really Enjoyed my visit to this Fabuluos Local Cafè L'image situated in the seaside Town of Budleigh Salterton. I Recommend you come and Try out this Gorgeous Cafè. Jonathan/ Peterborough.
