This cafe was an unexpected pleasure and we will definitely be back. For a start, EVERYTHING is GLUTEN FREE!!! They do have some 'normal' bread for those who want it...but it is the option.
They also had at least four VEGAN options in the mains, and a dessert. They can also make their breakfasts (available till 4pm) vegan too (although they are no longer doing 'fake' meat replacement).
The service was exceptional‐-friendly, helpful, polite, and they made sure to check if we were coeliac (not the issue for us). We were there for dinner, but they do breakfast and lunch too.
The food itself was delicious, with fresh salad and chips to accompany each of our mains options. We each tried something different, but pastry-based ie a a vege tagine pie, a curry vege pasty, and a chickpea & butternut sqash pasty. Next time I'll try the vege tart. The apple crumble was also delicious! I think the pastries were reheated from frozen, but were really tasty and everything else on the plate was fresh.
Finding this gem is going to make trips to Dawlish a real pleasure.
The mains were between £9-£10, and the lunches were...
Read moreI feel like I'm kicking a puppy. Everyone loves this place so it pains me to give a negative review. The people we went with loved it and the folks in the café were singing their praises. The atmosphere is great with a homey local feel. The service was fast and efficient. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The food didn't meet our expectations. We ordered a pie and a pasty. These were taken from a freezer so they do not have a homemade feel. The pie and the pasty were delivered less than ten minutes later so they are speed cooked. The pastry was rubbery and the filling dry. We were not asked how our food was which was a relief because I would have hated to sound negative amongst the happy customers. The salad and chips that came with the food was good but the centrepiece was a let down. The meal with drinks cost over £10. I feel this was overpriced for the quality of food we received. Having said all this our friends couldn't help but talk about how good the food was all afternoon - to...
Read moreNot sure how I haven't written a review for this place already. Me and the family come here all the time. A lovely little cafe providing brilliant food at a small cost. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is nice. They do absolutely everything on their menu gluten free, which my partner was very happy about the first time we ate here, as she misses breaded garlic mushrooms. This place is now a regular visit for us to have breakfast, the full breakfast is delicious and amazing value. When we get friends come to visit down here we always bring them here. As long as you give them notice they are very catering for large parties, even though its quite a small cafe. I would highly recommend anyone to visit this lovely cafe, even more so if you are gluten...
