A pleasant small cafe around the back of the town market. Does not have the atmosphere of some cafes, but the morning coffee & tea cake were nice.

We spotted this little cafe and noticed it was quiet inside and out, which appealed. We went inside, chose a table there and ordered brunch. The food was good and arrived promptly. After we had started eating, it rapidly became quite a lot busier inside, but the outdoor tables were all still empty. We finished our brunch a little more quickly than we might have done, paid and sat on one of the outside tables for a few minutes, looking over some photos we had taken that morning and planning what to do next. To our shock, the owner came outside and told us we couldn't sit there. We thought, maybe it was some sort of joke, at first, as it didn't really make any sense. The owner said she realised we were paying customers but wanted us gone. Not a joke. This was despite the fact that all the other outdoor tables were free. It made no sense and was quite upsetting, really. We could have just eaten a bit more more slowly and stayed at the inside table a few more minutes instead. We had assumed moving outside would have been helpful to the owner as well as ourselves, freeing up the limited indoor seating. Won't be going here again!

We had a lovely flat white and an amazing mocha! Really friendly, clean and welcoming! Would absolutely go there again! :)

It's very rare to come across great customer service, but Poppy's cafe certainly came up trumps! I had ordered a sausage, bacon and egg baguette, which btw was enough for two, so I shared it with my brother in law. When it arrived, the waitress offered me some tomato ketchup in a satchet, and I've had the same type before and they taste awful, so I told her and said it was a shame they didn't have any Heinz. 2 minutes later she came out with a small ramikin dish full of Heniz ketchup and said the chef had scoured his cupboards for it!! Well, I had to tell her when we left it was the best value for money brunch we'd had, complemented by the excellent customer service. Thank you Poppy#s Cafe, you made a lovely day, even lovelier. xx

Don’t think about resting your weary bottom on the seats outside this cafe or the grumpy owner will rush out and tell you to either order something or naff off

Welcomed warmly. Only hot drinks and cake left mid - afternoon due to cheese festival. Deli

Came here for coffee whilst visiting the art exhibition near by at The Butcher's Hall. Friendly service and lovely coffee. Very convenient for visiting Tavistock market.

Good food and service. We enjoyed our lunch here. The sandwiches and toasties were particularly nice, and we liked sitting outside on the picnic tables.

Stopped by for lunch as not visited for a while. Fantastic regular breakfast, cooked to my liking and delicious local ingredients from the butcher next door - no food miles here! Meal came quickly with friendly service. Even made the tea to my request. Very reasonable in price compared to other cafes in town.

Initial experience was good as a young lady greeted us with a smile and menus. We initially chose to sit outside although with the May sun it was very hot and asked whether there were umbrellas (part of a garden umbrella already visible at the table). We were told they were still in storage. A lengthy wait for our food (more than 30 mins) in a period that is yet considered full season. I noted that we were not the only group concerned by their wait time for food. As it was too hot we decided to go inside where it was cooler although tables were crowded together so little space to sit or move around. As we sat down and just behind the counter at the back we noted the umbrellas that we told were in storage! When our food arrived, my mother’s toasted sandwich (Brie, Bacon and Cranberry) was clearly not a properly toasted (cooked bacon and Brie between two slices of toast!), unlike my aunt’s which had seen a toastie machine. Again when we politely made a comment, our waitress (not the young lady that greeted us) went to the kitchen but then never came back with any feedback. Shame as this place is in such a lovely setting and in the general the food is good yet a slightly better focus on customer service and I would not be seeing the need to write this poor review.
We enjoyed our stop here...lovely toasties with crisps and beautiful cut and freshest side ? salad....and Cheese scones...Waitress had a lovely personality too...as well as looking immaculate...So kind and accommodating to customers with a wheelchair...Well done everyone ? ? ?Wheelchair accessibility: Not alot of room inside but they made taking a customer with their wheelchair look no trouble...

Arrived at lunchtime so you would expect them to be busy, but only half the tables were occupied. Nevertheless, service was slow. I didn't time it, but it seemed to take a long time for anything to arrive. When it came, it was good - I suspect we may have fallen into the gap between breakfast and lunch

Brilliant cafe with a lovely friendly atmosphere. The food is delicious and fresh, the ingredients are all from local businesses and the staff are very welcoming and helpful. Value for money and family friendly

Had a great omelets and salad lunch at Poppys cafe..on far side of the pannier market so a bit quieter than some other places. Suited me. Pleasant quick service and everything very clean. Thankyou!Vegetarian options: Great mushroom omelettes and side salad.Dietary restrictions: They coped with my request for GF bread and toasted it for me.

We wrote a review here a couple of months ago which we were alerted was deleted? didn't have the nicest experience. Food was lovely as were most staff except for one young lady serving us was rude to my partner who rolled her eyes when he asked for a surviette and made us feel as if we were burdenning. Please take all reviews on board constructively rather than deleting them.?
