Nice little cafe overlooking the beach.

Mediocre service, food was as you'd expect. Shown to be dog friendly, but was a struggle to get some water for the dog, as they didn't have a bowl!

Typical English seaside cafe. A range of basic food, good selection of ice creams, good views down the beach, sticky uncleared tables. It is what is says on the tin.

Nice views and Dog Friendly which was great. Clean tables. Only two people in front of me but took 15 minutes to order, service seemed slow and not personal - felt like I was on a conveyor belt. Refused to pay the prices of the food so opted for drinks only. Ham, Egg and Chips -£14 and Jacket potato £10.

The best thing I can say about this cafe was the view was lovely.

Perfect location and brilliant views. Unlike the other cafes in the area, this cafe doesn't have a great selection of food (pasties, cakes, coffee and ice-cream is about the limit).

Poor quality food here. We ordered a cream tea but unfortunately the clotted cream was substituted for somerthing that had the consistency of warm butter. Very disappointing for a cream tea in Devon. Service was good and friendly.

Been here many times over the years. Never had any problems with rudeness or bad service. My son's favourite ice cream parlour

The Redwood ice cream parlour is in a really nice location, pity the guy running isn’t as nice.My wife went in to order a pot of tea for herself and a decaf coffee for me. She was told we don’t have decaf coffee but we do have mint tea. My wife then replied he doesn’t like tea and due to a heart condition he doesn’t drink regular coffee, so forget the coffee, but I’ll also have a Cornish pasty with the tea.She then went and sat at a table outside. I had popped round the corner to buy some chips as we didn’t think the ice cream parlour sold hot food. I came back sat down with my wife and we were sharing the chips I’d bought and the pasty she’d bought.The owner then came out and in no uncertain terms told us we couldn’t eat the chips there as we hadn’t purchased them in his establishment, even though we tried to explain the tea and the pasty were bought in his shop. He still demanded we leave the table and go and stand at the road side.The cafe had no other tables being used at the time so really can’t understand his rude attitude.We will never again go into his cafe.

I can't comment on the quality of produce as the customer service was so poor that I didnt end up ordering.Called in at 6pm on Wednesday evening, no-one in the queue.Young lad behind the counter and then a women came around the counter, they laughed about something together and walked off....I could clearly be seen waiting for ice cream.I gave them the benefit of the doubt and waited 5mins, neither bothered to return so I left.Whether your busy or not, customers are waiting (patiently) and deserve to at least be acknowledged. I certainly wouldn't ever pop back here!

We had sandwiches and cold drinks from this café with outside seating overlooking the beach. The sandwiches were delicious and came with salad too. Friendly service and good prices.

Wouldn't let me in without a mask even though I have asthma they don't wear masks themselves

AVOID!! RUDE RUDE RUDE RUDE!! The staff here is absolutely rude. Very expensive. A family member went in twice without a mask then the 3rd time she was told she had to wear a mask. Yet she was exempted. And 1 of the staff wasn't wearing a mask. Didn't even come out and clear the table up. AVOID!!
