Pleasant neat and tidy little Cafe, freshly decorated seating area. Reasonably priced but small and basic portions. Cream teas would benefit from more cream.

After so many businesses were closed for the Dartmouth Music Festival we came across this gem. Firstly I wanted to congratulate the duo running it on demand with a cool, attentive and friendly manner. While customers kept coming, they stayed open. Customers were trickling in of all ages and group sizes and they took it in their stride. The menu is varied, great drink selection and fast service. Clean, tidy and tasty. Well done

The atmosphere is very nice and homey, likely because it’s run and served by the owners. The food portions are decent, which is important to me , and even more importantly, it tastes fantastic. We ordered a burrito bowl and chili con carne, and I can recommend both dishes. We also tried a local cider, which was delightful! We give it five stars!

In a city that is sadly lacking in vegan food, this cafe comes with great options. We had the vegan English breakfast and some scones. Delicious. There is a homey atmosphere about this place that is both informal and relaxing, charming service too. I would definitely recommend it.

Came across this great little cafe whilst walking about dartmouth on Easter Sunday. Surprised to find it opened until 7pm. Had a fantastic jacket potato with cheese and side salad followed by a very generous, delicious helping of raspberry and white chocolate cheesecake. Would highly recommend a visit, big menu, breakfast served all day and prices very reasonable. Loved the decor too. Business only been there 2 years and it deserves to do well. I hope it stays for the foreseeable future. Will definitely be back

Went here for lunch with my grandparents who don't speak english. Waitress was very patient with them whilst ordering which was lovely, and service was fast. Food was uncomplicated but good, jumbo fish finger sandwhich especially good. We had food with a drink and was £10-15 per person, very good for the area.

What can I say, other than what a lovely place; friendly, great food, really good coffee and sensible prices. I visited for three consecutive breakfasts whilst staying in Dartmouth, having got fed up over the past couple of visits with the increasingly indifferent service and prices at an over-hyped breakfast restaurant nearby. This breakfast was much better! I will be back each time I come to Dartmouth - thank you!
