Looked down on the sea front for somewhere to have a cream tea and decided to chance the Cliff Top Cafe after my better half saw some pics and we were going to use the funny colour railway (😉). NOT disappointed at all. We got the 'special', which on this day was fruit & chocolate, with cream & jam (may seem a weird combination but it was very good). Scone was large, light texture and really tasty. The cream and jam was not stinted on either. Altogether, one of the best cream teas I've had, though the setting, the weather and being 'on holiday' may have added to the overall experience 😀. When the weather is good the seating area is a lovely place to sit, watching the train riders go by and it's an attractive location in its own right! Service was quick and pleasant. Paper cups to facilitate easy & quick service (I think!). Overall, highly recommended 👌 👍 😉

As always #Awesome. Great scone, jam and cream. Always visit when in Lynton generally due to the size of the scones #huge 🤣🤣 I do however miss the slate plate and presentation you used to get pre covid. The cardboard container and plastic tubs just aren't the same. Thats to take nothing away from the delicious cream tea and the awesome view 😋 😍 Albie loved licking the plastic pot of it's cream 😋 Update Thank you for the response to the review. Sorry about the pots, my mistske, but yes will definitely be back 👍🏻👌🏻🌞

This little cafe was the icing on the cake for going up the cliff railway. Beautiful view, pasties are big and yummy. Scones were beautiful, would suggest one to share, but they do come in take away containers, so we took our second one away with us. The tea comes in a large takeaway cup, so for me, I felt like more for my money.

Biggest scone I've ever seen, lovely coffee and amazing view. What more could you ask for! Good prices and lovely friendly service, one word of caution though as I don't see any toilets up there so be sure to go before you go up! Large selection of drinks and cakes, plenty of outside seating where you can enjoy the view
