The Zoo Cafe

The Zoo Cafe is a straightforward neighbourhood cafe in Babbacombe, Torquay, serving breakfast, lunch and evening meals. Dogs are welcome inside, making it a practical stop for visitors exploring the seafront and local walking areas without leaving your dog behind.

The menu focuses on reliable cafe fare and the spot works well as a sniff-break refuel during longer beach days. Opening hours span the working day, so you can drop in for coffee and cake or a more substantial meal whenever suits your schedule and your dog's energy levels.

It's the kind of place where a wet dog and muddy paws won't raise an eyebrow—exactly what many dog owners need when walking the Babbacombe area. Close enough to the seafront to be genuinely useful and close enough to outdoor space that you're not far from the next leg of your dog's adventure.
