Cool Beans on the Green: Coffee and Light Bites by the Lawn

Independent coffee shop Cool Beans on the Green sits in Piermont Place, overlooking the central Lawn in Dawlish, where the brook flows gently through manicured grounds. The café provides a relaxed spot for quality coffee and straightforward food amid the town’s green heart.

The menu centres on freshly brewed coffees, using beans selected for balanced flavour. Options include espressos, lattes, and cappuccinos, alongside teas and hot chocolates. Light meals feature breakfast baps with bacon or sausage, filled sandwiches, and toasted paninis. Cakes and pastries, baked fresh, complement the drinks, with selections varying daily.

Outdoor seating allows views across the Lawn, where black swans and ducks gather by the water. On finer days, the tables fill with those pausing during walks along the brook or seafront paths. Inside, the space remains compact yet welcoming, suited to quick stops or longer stays.

The café emphasises organic ingredients where possible and eco-friendly practices, from compostable cups to sustainable sourcing. Takeaway service supports those heading to the nearby beach or railway station.

Cool Beans on the Green rates highly with many reviews.
