The Cream Tea Cafe - North Devon

We wanted to recommend this lovely cafe as not only did we get a really delicious cream tea , but the man who runs it with his wife went out of his way to accommodate us. We were on a short visit to Devon and so excited to have a cream tea it was late in the day but he kindly put more scones in the oven and allowed us to stay on after he should have closed! So we had warm scones with all the trimmings. He also had a selection of home made cakes so we were able to take those with us . Huge thanks to him for his kindness and to his wife who is obviously a superb baker !

I’ve pottered around Devon over the past couple of weeks, and can confirm that the Cream Tea Cafe has the freshest, tastiest, most moreish scones I’ve come across (and great value too! . The two types of homemade jam are an added scrumptious bonus.Added to that, this lovely little cafe in the centre of town has a warm, welcoming atmosphere, a great selection of treats, and a super friendly owner who will chat away about all sorts with you.There is NOTHING mediocre about this place do yourself a favour and check it out...

Found this lovely gem hidden away behind the pannier market. The light lunch was one of the best I’ve had in ages. Toasted cheese scone with mature cheddar chutney and side salad. Coffee was a lovely blend too and served piping hot, so much nicer than chain coffee shops! The hosts were lovely and friendly too. Highly recommend if you are in Barnstaple and want to get away from the usual crowded t shops on the high street.

Lovely friendly cafe in centre of Barnstable some super little independent shops nearby) . Absolutely delicious cream of celery soup followed by delicious cream tea. Loved the use of teapot for a real cuppa with my scones.

The 2 lovely ladies were enthusiastic and very welcoming. I ordered tea and a teacake. Lose leaf local tea was a treat and something you don't find in many places. and the homemade teacake was very large. I wish them and their business the best for these uncertain times
