Peaceful, friendly, quirky with a good selection of drinks and homemade cakes. Can recommend mocha with chilli and the ice cream milk shakes!

I drove past here, seeing the dark brown exterior paneling and I thought, a hipster coffee place, in I go. No, it wasn 't it was a cross between an old persons Victorian tea shop/home and Cheers (the eighties American soap). At this point, you think, what a combination, this is not somewhere I would want to go. Well, if you are a hipster then no. Why? Because you get a large cup of coffee, and it is the FAT ROC Organic Blend by Voyager in Buckfastleigh. This is a very good arabica coffee and it is not cheap to buy because I buy the same for my cafe. Voyager do have cheaper roasts which are not as subtle as Fat Roc, so kudos to these guys for using such a good coffee. Now, I will say, this reminded me of a cafe on the outskirts of London where the locals would go, where there would be good chitter chatter, and where the owners were very present and involved in the conversation. Which I found very warming and comfortable, and it was nice to sit on my jack jones, minding my business, listening to the local speak. So, if you are looking for a place to feel 'cool ', not here. If you are looking for a place where you can feel involved, without even integrating and enjoying a damn good coffee, which was also very well made....then do pop in here....

Very nice little coffee shop with plenty of seating at the front or in the little back room where there is also a sofa . The cakes were beautiful and coffee good . And proper China and pretty too. My only criticism is I tripped on their laptop wire as it was stalked across the floor going from one table to the other . Luckily I didn’t hurt myself but the stairs were not far away so could definatly be a hazard . But we will return as nice service.

Can't say enough good things about this brilliant cafe. The coffee was spot on, cakes so yummy and the staff were so attentive. Such a lovely place to relax and unwind. We took in our 3 month old puppy and she was spoilt rotten by the staff. Thank you for a lovely morning If you are in Tiverton you must call in.
