Alice Little bought Ginger Bird in Colyton five months ago.
She worked with previous owner Ellen Melody, who was thinking of selling as she was pregnant.
Alice consulted with her father who supported her dream to "always own her own cafe".
Alice studied human nutrition and holds a Diploma in Science and Technology, which gives her a better perspective of what is good food.
