Station Masters Cafe

a good reason to arrive at station road a few minutes early. barnstaple doesn't flood you with specialty options, so when something stands out locally, it tends to do so for real reasons, not just because the competition is thin. station masters cafe sits at barnstaple's railway station on station road, which means you're likely passing through anyway, and that convenience is either a happy coincidence or exactly the point. the local standing here is genuine, built over time rather than announced. worth timing your visit around a flat white before your train pulls in.
