The Southcott family have been providing catering and hospitality continuously since 1948, when Gwen and Jack Southcott opened the doors to their first guesthouse in Budleigh Salterton, Devon. Now some 70 years later and a few miles further North, the third generation of the family, Michael and Jonathan are at the helm of Cafe Ambio.
Dining Delights
Our small group of day time dining restaurants cater for the discerning diner. We are open for breakfast, freshly cooked and served in our restaurants or al fresco on the decking, in the courtyard, overlooking the river or in a forest, depending on your location. A morning coffee with our famous scones, freshly baked cakes and a selection of teas too! Join us for lunch, a bowl of soup, a great open sandwich or one of our daily specials, there’s something for everyone at Cafe Ambio!
Roasted Coffee Beans
The coffee beans we use are 100% Arabica and have been carefully selected from estates around the world: Guatemalan, naturally pulped Brazilian and Sumatran beans, roasted in Edinburgh by master roasters Brodies. Roasted for 15 minutes giving a dark rich chocolate taste. This is what makes our fabulous blend of espresso, which is the base for our latte, cappuccino and flat white.
