The Coffee House, St Marychurch precinct, Torquay

OK, I know I don't have to do this any more, but it's still a need, and this one was great.
After a walk (see a walk a week) brother and I decided on a cup of tea.  You are quite spoilt for choice in the Babbacombe/St Marychurch area for tea shops, even on a bank holiday (could be another year's worth, I reckon).  The Coffee House took our fancy and we made a good choice.
Inside it was light and bright, wood flooring, small tables and upholstered chairs.  The walls were zingy green and warm orange.  There was even a labyrinth painted on one, which only sent them up in my estimation.  There was three kind of zones, if you like - takeaway icecream, coffee shop, restaurant.  You ordered at the counter (signs making this clear) and then the food was brought to the table.  We had very nice cake - pear, almond and chocolate tart, and chocolate refridgerator cake - and a pot of tea each - enough for three good cups each - all served on matching white china.

So, good price, cheerful and unusual decor, a great setting, and good service.  We were glad we came!

  1. We had a roast lunch there whilst on holiday last week. Wish they were on trip advisor to tell people just how good it was.
