Croyde has a character all of its own: a surfer’s village with soul, full of creative energy and genuine warmth. Blue Groove fits into that world perfectly, and then some. It has become one of the most loved spots in the village, and a visit here explains exactly why.
By day, Blue Groove operates as a vibrant cafe and deli, serving really excellent food in a relaxed setting that feels like the best kind of creative space. The menu changes with the seasons and draws on quality local and artisan produce, so there is always something fresh and interesting to discover. Everything is made with care, and you can taste the difference that makes.
The atmosphere is warm and slightly bohemian, reflecting Croyde’s artistic, surf-influenced character. Mismatched charm, great music, and genuinely friendly staff combine to create somewhere you want to settle into for a while. Dogs are absolutely welcome, making it a brilliant choice after a coastal walk or a morning exploring the village.
Croyde is only a short drive from Woolacombe and well worth making the trip for. The village itself is one of North Devon’s most characterful, with a surf beach that is famous across the country and a community that has made this part of the world its creative home.
The terrace at Blue Groove is one of the finest spots in Croyde to spend an hour or two in good weather. The space is relaxed and sociable, with a crowd that reflects the village’s mix of serious surfers, families on holiday and locals who have made this their regular haunt. The kitchen keeps pace with the atmosphere: fresh, confident and reliably good.
Blue Groove is the kind of discovery that makes exploring beyond your immediate base so rewarding. Call in for brunch, linger over coffee, or browse the deli offerings and pick up something special. You will want to come back.
