Visited today as a family and was really impressed with the service and food. The gentleman who served us ( I believe he was the owner ) gave us the best customer service we have ever had. He was so friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious and great value for money. The best scone I’ve ever had! I would definitely visit again.
What a find! We were nearby on holiday and looking for a Devon cream tea - THIS place seemed to fit the bill and oh wow! It was truly delicious - the scone was still hot from the oven! Tea was served in a teapot with cup and saucer. There were even the options to replace the tea with prosecco or a G&T! I also liked the eco-friendly use of washable flannels to dry hands. That plus a friendly welcome and reasonable prices make this a special place indeed! Only 4 or 5 tables, though! Worth reserving ahead of time!
We booked an afternoon tea for a birthday celebration however the birthday girl hurt her back and we had to ring and request it as a take away that morning. Mark couldn't have been more obliging, and the tea packed was astounding; freshest sandwiches, best scones we've ever had (generous amount of clotted cream too) and an enormous selection of delicious cakes. Highly recommend, we look forward to sitting in next time, thank you Dilly Dally tearoom.
Excellent, cannot fault this wonderful cafe / tearoom. Wonderful food with great hosts, a little hidden gem. If you’re looking for somewhere in Brixham for breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea this place is a must, thank you Mark and Kim for a lovely afternoon tea, delicious
This is a lovely small quirky cafe, have to get in quick or book in advance. Food is amazing, the hospitality and service is second to none. Always treated like a VIP. We had the privilege of going on Mothers day and every mother had a bunch of daffodils (these are my favorite flowers? Highly recommend.
Highly recommended! There were two us of choosing to celebrate birthdays here yesterday and we were made to feel so special. Our Devon Cream teas were everything we dreamed of. Just perfect. Their breakfast looked amazing. So much attention to detail. Such a lovely spot in Brixham. If you can get a table you're lucky!!!
Popped in for breakfast last week with our dog & we got there when it opened at 10am & within 30 minutes all tables were full. We had a Full English & a Veggie Breakfast which were amazing & a doggie sausage served in a bowl. Service, food, atmosphere of this cafe is excellent & we would recommend a visit if you are in the area. See you next time we are down in Brixham
Delicious takeaway afternoon tea. Kim and Mark were very good in providing a takeaway afternoon tea for us even though their lovely tea room is closed. Lovely fresh sandwiches, cakes, scones and macarons. Generous portions of strawberry jam and Roddas cream. Beautifully packaged and thoroughly enjoyed during our week's festive break. Highly recommended when they re-open.
