Went to this cafe yesterday, we all said it was one of our holiday favourites. Customer service was fantastic. Quality and price of food brilliant,wide range of choice, they even give out a free sausage to dogs. Would highly recommend this cafe.

Lovely place, lovely staff. Always a warm welcome. Food is exactly what you'd want and expect from a little cafe. Can't go wrong to be honest. Prices aren't too bad either.

Amazing place, me and my family visited today! I had a belly blaster breakfast with fresh, squeezed orange & fresh chocolate milkshake. The staff was very welcoming and friendly, alsi it was dog friendly. For this belly blaster, it was £11.75 & was well worth it!

What can I say absolutely fantastic the staff were absolutely wonderful welcoming and the service received was outstanding the food was delicious too but most importantly our baby was in the highchair and the waitress made a point of NOT holding a hot teapot or the cutlery near our son which is something I pointed out to the waitress I was so impressed with as everywhere else we had been to eat on holiday the past 2 weeks held hot food and plates over or by our son … well done this lovely lady… then I love the fact little people really matter here lovely leather lined highchair for comfort for the babies and also supplying baby’s cutlery and making a small portion for our son too super friendly and they do care about the little people too so thankyou for an enjoyable experience if we ever come back this way for a holiday would definitely visit again thankyou x

We came here last year for a quick bite whilst house hunting, we ordered a pastie each with coffee, we were amazed to see it came with a lovely large side salad and crisps. Loved it, and once finished we found out perfect house! You must of brought us some luck! See you on Sunday!

Came here for a spot of lunch while exploring ilfracombe, what a lovely little place it is, the staff were very friendly and accommodating, the food was of a very high standard and the price is second to none, made to feel welcome as soon as we stepped foot inside, and the serving skills were incredible, the first restaurant in a 14 day holiday that didn't serve food or hot tea over our 2 year olds head, very enjoyable lunch and will be visiting again on our next adventure to this part of the country. Thank you

Called for brunch on a rather damp day. A very homely cafe with welcoming staff. Superb value for money! Great food, very good-sized portions of every item we ordered. The sausage sandwich was full to bursting! Fast friendly service. Everything was cooked to perfection . 5* around. If I'm back in the area, I would certainly call here again. Highly recommended.

We have been doing a Somerset, Devon and Cornwall road trip to find the best ‘Cream Tea’. Dolly’s gave us the best cream tea we’ve ever had (and that’s quite a few). Soft warm fruited scone, beautiful clotted cream and fruity flavourful jam. Highly recommend a stop off in Illfracombe at Dolly’s for their cream tea! Thank you so much.
