lollie bean — Restaurant in Teignbridge

-- Shaldon's bijou coffee-shop, serving the best coffee this side of the bridge - the Bristol bridge.

Since it opened in January of this year, this has risen from my coffee-'stop' of choice to the only one I visit in Shaldon. The coffee itself is sublime. Happily, the freshly-prepared-in-house sandwiches are also delish, and ideal to take-out and enjoy on either of Shaldon's beaches - you can't go wrong with the crab.

The owners have wisely continued to serve the Salcombe Dairy ice-cream which made the former Yummy Shop so popular with holidaymakers. lollie bean sells a small but thankfully well-curated selection of cookies and cakes (perfect as a treat if you need a spot of mindfulness in the lull between school runs!) and there are often new things in; the recently added Root Beer Floats are heavenly...

It's very easy to reach - only a minute or two's walk to/from the beach - and perhaps of greatest importance to walkers, Shaldonians and tourists equally is the fact that both lollie bean and its owners are not just friendly, but dog-friendly, too.

Delightful little cafe, really friendly and delicious coffee with a biscotti, personally, I would prefer bistro tables rather than one large table to share, as we probably wouldn't if others were at that table as there is only that one! However, I really would recommend a visit and I'd guarantee you would return.

Good luck in your...

Lovely coffee shop that sells fresh coffee, cakes, light food and ice creams. Lovely couple who run it too. Only shame is Google list it as an ice cream shop when it sells so much more. There's also a little green around the back if the cafe gets busy and the weather is fine. Is also new to the village so hope they do well...
