A LITTLE BIT ABOUT US

We are best friend duo Tanya and Loralie, and we are proud to welcome you to The Wholesome Hippo!

We're a cafe with a difference: specialising in healthy, delicious and wholesome food as well as being an incredibly family friendly space.

Everyone is welcome here and with a wonderfully varied menu we aim to cater for all.

We are lucky to have a wonderful open play cafe for kids and their parents to enjoy a relaxed lunch, as well as a serene, sunkissed room and six outdoor picnic benches in the front for those who are looking for more of a chilled vibe.

THE MENU

WE DO WHAT WE DO

Bring on the yum.

WE'RE PLANET FRIENDLY

We endeavour to source everything locally, by doing this we keep the cash in Devon (where it can be wisely spent on pasties), and reduce our carbon footprint. We donate all of our leftover food and waste, and we recycle as much as possible.

WE'RE FAMILY FRIENDLY

Your little cubs are very welcome here. We have a designated family room with a cute children's play area, and a yummy kids menu.

If you have a food request and we have the ingredients, we will be more than happy to make it for you.

We also hold children's art and craft classes!

Please see our "What's On" board for dates and times.

WE'RE BODY FRIENDLY

All of our meals are made right here, from scratch and contain real, whole ingredients.

We have a huge offering of healthy, nutritious meals including many Vegan and gluten-free options, and if you're in the mood for treating yourself to something naughty there's plenty here for that too.
