I visited this resturant with a friend on a Saturday morning whilst exploring the pretty town of Teignmouth. I had the full English which had two sausages, two bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms, beans and tiny bite sized hash browns. The scrambled eggs tho were really very, very good. We were served by the lovely young lady whoâs real name is Kitten !!All in all a good little find!!

Our lunchtime snacks were OK, though in our group of 4, 2 of us had our food after 5 minutes, and the other 2 had to wait a further 10 minutes. A can of cola on the menu was just that - a can and a glass put on the table.Card payments not taken - cash only. Service neither particularly friendly nor unfriendly.

We had some cakes and cold drinks this afternoon. The staff were pleasant. The cakes were fresh, yummy and rich. After a long walk along the beach, we happily finished them without feeling guilty.We're delighted you enjoyed your post walk cakes and look forward to helping on the refuelling for the next beach walk!

Been here a few times. Decent range of lunch and light snacks and cakes. We chose a Chilli Jacket Potato and a Baguette with egg and bacon. Plus teas.Service polite and served teas at right time, just before meals. Both lunches were well presented and tasty. So it would be 5/5, however.... Couple of negatives.1. Allowed dogs to roam around without a lead. One was sick and then proceeded to eat it! Think about allergies and other customers. You should have a lead policy. 2. Ran out of cakes at 2pm. Yet no mention to us or any other customers that they do waffles with different toppings. You lost trade!

We always visit whilst on holiday and cannot recommend this place enough! This was our first time having lunch here as usually we visit for just a cream tea. The decoration of the inside and outside is lovely and the staff are always very friendly. The cream teas are the best around for us and this is the reason we always visit when in Dawlish!

After a swim in the lovely heated pool we enjoyed lunch with the dip and dine offer. Situated on the first floor next to the pool, good selection of food and a childrenâs menu, loads of colouring crayons too. I had the southern fried chicken burger why was nice and my son had the sausages, yum?

Looking for a light lunch on our first visit to Dawlish and discovered this welcoming little spot.Not too large but not crowded by the few tables A Piece of Cake is furnished in light welcoming shades of green interspursed with some great images of snacks and cakes as a promise of what might be to come.It's all very informal and we took our seats and were given a few minutes to recover from the gale and check out the menu.The young lady acting as a waitress was efficent and welcoming and we soon ordered a cheese ploughmans' , a child's size tuna sandwich and tuna pannini.It was all fine and the cheese portions, brie, a good cheddar and Stilton, were generous.The coffee was okay (but I am very particular) and the jasmine tea came with hot water aside to top-up the pot.Next time we shall go early so as to have an excuse - if one were needed- for coffee and a selection of the cakes and pastries that were most obviously lovingly made in the minute kitchen at the back of the room.My parting comment, along with thanks, was that they should sell the cakes as a takeaway in boxes!Just one word of caution. The unisex toilet is large and clean but is up a full flight of stairs due to the position of the tea rooms within a block of accomodation. As one also has two doors and a small space to navigate when leaving the tea room area it is not easily accessable.Just under £25.00 for a light lunch and beverages; not bad value at all and worth a return visit.

Lovely cafe with lots to offer. The chef works very hard and the sandwich presentation looked really good....but.....I wanted a toasted tea cake and always say, everywhere I go, âbutter separately pleaseâ. Most cafes do this anyway. This one didnât listen. I was presented with the flattest, dencist, untoasted butter laden tea cake ever! Stupidly I didnât complain but scooped it into my bag to throw away.Dear tearooms, please donât assume everyone likes masses of butter, and please toast your toasted tea Cakes!
