These days, many of us enjoy high-quality fresh coffee as part of our normal routine, as it continues catching up with tea as our national drink. But there\u2019s a world of difference between gulping down an \u2018al desko\u2019 latte or commuter-cup cappuccino and sitting down to savour a cup on holiday. With no shopping list to cross off or appointments to worry about, you can truly appreciate the experience of sitting down in a caf\u00e9. Whether you\u2019re looking to try a famous Salcombe crab sandwich, Devonshire pasty or a freshly baked scone (remember cream first, then jam), these Salcombe caf\u00e9s provide the perfect opportunity to indulge in a holiday treat.<\/strong><\/p>\n
