I am a local and have used this cafe regularly over the years, but not any more from today. I ordered a small vegetarian breakfast, which was poor value for money and not very nice. This is not however the reason for this post. Whilst waiting for my order it was suggested that I had ordered earlier in the week and left without paying. Interesting as the day in question I was actually in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The conversation was held quite loudly in front of a lot of other customers. Needless to say I was embarrassed and humiliated. If I hadn't already paid for my coffee and breakfast, which incidentally you do on ordering at the counter, I would have left. The apology was less than acceptable 'case of mistaken identity as you have purple hair and ordered the same thing'. Sorry not sorry but I am never coming here again.

1st time I visited mid-week for a coffee and a ciggy. Sat outside watching the world go by - decided I'd have a small breakfast as well as coffee. Lovely local produce, information on board inside as to source. Piping hot and cooked well - staff very attentive, but not in your face. Repeated again on the Sat as I had an hour to kill before train home - very busy, but still the great service and food - I did notice a 5 star notice, well deserved.

After messaging Sunday and getting no reply I thought it was rude. Visited yesterday at 2.10 pm after checking opening hours to find it was closed. Not good as previously I had done a great trip advisor post.

Great food, lovely staff, clean and fresh setting. In our party: 1 vegetarian, 2 carnivores and 1 fussy teenager, all left very satisfied customers. Will comeback again. Best bacon, brie and cranberry toastie I've had!

We walked here from Dawlish Warren on a very rainy day. This restaurant is the best place we have eaten in, in Devon. It was clean, the staff were very friendly and helpful, the service was quick and the food was delicious. Portions were massive and the coffee was good too! We will definitely return if we are in Devon again. Thank you John's! A real highlight of our holiday?
