Great coffee shop in the corner of the market in Tavistock, can thoroughly recommend their home made soups and garlic bread

Service was quick and friendly and the menu had a good selection of sandwiches and other lunch items but unfortunately we were all slightly underwhelmed by our food. It was also quite expensive for what it was with each of us paying around £8 for a mediocre sandwich. The location is excellent though and you do get a nice vibe if you're able to sit outside.

Very average cafe, service ok although wanted paying before food brought out. We had a Dukes burger and Cesar salad and a couple of milkshakes. Milkshakes ok but a little warm. Burger, taste wise ok but the patty was very thin and the side salad well not very salady. One piece of sweet corn a bit of cucumber and a touch of lettuce (see pic) I think there might have been a strand of onion in there and the nachos were ok but only a few. The Cesar salad size wise great but very tangy Overall very average, wouldn't bother going back.

We were a group of 14 walkers and they served and fed/watered us efficiently and with a smile. Good selection of food/drinks and everyone enjoyed what they had

What a great coffee house. Bustling with locals and holidaymakers (like us!). Service was a well-oiled machine, and the carrot cake & lemon drizzle were amazing!
