A slice of life cafe in Torridge

Lovely beachside cafe, great place for a good breakfast. Other than breakfast it's the usual 'something and chips' unimaginative menu. Clean and tidy, toilets across the road, disabled friendly and dogs welcome. What seriously needs attention is the staff, very slow at clearing and more interested in each other than the customers. I asked for black coffee with separate cold milk, which needed much explaining, then got black coffee with separate HOT milk. I had paid up and left and my table had still not been cleared. It's an OK spot but with a bit of effort could be the talk of the town

We are holidaying here atm and stumbled across this little gem after a long walk on the beach with our dogs. Love that it is dog friendly and there is an array of options on the menu. We had a delicious lunch here and highly recommend.

Really impressed with the food and service

Staff are so friendly and welcoming. Quick very tasty food and perfect location just off beach. Breakfast, lunch is a must if you in the area.

Nice freshly prepared food, local produce that looks and tastes good. Great array of cakes and next to the beach.

Chose to meet with two different sets of friends for a lovely catch up. We had drinks and breakfasts. They were happy for us to combine two tables. There is parking just across the road by the slipway. I have been warned against using the one directly opposite as its privately owned and people get fines. But what a lovely cafe with nicely cooked food, lovely waitresses and dog friendly too. Thanks!!

For a cafe the food is excellent

Nice food, we had a good breakfast with decent tea nice area, be prepared to wait as they cook fresh but worth it

Had a lovely experience here on the 13th of sept, had a cappuccino (was top tier) and the egg Benedict. I asked the waitress jade if I would be able to have it on toast rather than the muffin and that was no problems at all. Fantastic service from both the owner “Steph” and waitress “jade” as well as a fantastic egg Benedict cooked by a young man called “Ollie”. Both members Ollie, and jade are both assets of the caffe and Steph is just lovely! Definitely recommend coming here whether it be for breakfast, lunch or just a coffee!

A fabulous cafe for breakfast. A wide selection of options to suit every taste and appetite.The staff were very friendly and welcoming and happy to accommodate our 3 dogs.

This is a little gold mine, not you’re usual tired smelly cafe, this place was busy when we arrived and stayed busy all the time we were there, the food was delicious and served in a timely manner the good met and exceeded our expectations, it was fresh and a good portion served, fresh made tea and coffee, the food was of really good quality and value Our waitress worked hard to keep up but she made it look easy, with a warm welcome and smile, the team out back serving would recommend and will be back next time I’m in the area

Fresh off the beach, this is a lovely little cafe with excellent service and a very good menu and the food was amazing

Always visit this cafe on holiday. Food is freshly cooked and hot. Staff super friendly, has the best poached eggs ever, and dog friendly, too. The home made cakes are to die for.

Amazing food and plenty for the price. We have had breakfast here as well as wraps, sandwich and ploughman's platter. Myself and my mum also had the devon tea. The scones were served warm which was lovely 😍

Popped in here for a breakfast 😋 Great food and a dog friendly place. Staff are really nice 👌

Lovely little café. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced! Would come back again!

Absolutely stunning food, I would have carried on wating forever if I wasn't full! Great menu selection, as well as a cake selection on the counter.

Nice big breakfast sandwich on crusty bread

Lovely cafe had breakfast twice there while we were away would recommend to anyone

Fantastic food. Fab prices . Friendly staff always make you feel at home Dog friendly and very clean Would highly recommend this cafe for larger groups or families etc

Friendly staff and excellent service 👌

Had a flap jack which was to thick and had no taist £4 coffee was awful, flat white won't be going there again over priced

Always a good breakfast and friendly service

Lovely food, great service, friendly staff, not overly expensive. Nicely situated on access road to the Ocean. Thank you

Lovley little cafe, friendly hospitality, good food and over all a comfortable place to eat, no pic as my belly came first

Super lovely friendly cafe. Visited with my husband and teenage son. Good choice of food and drinks at reasonable prices. Breakfast baps are very good value and delicious. Would like to go back for lunch sometime. Food was great. Highly recommend.

Lovely little spot by the beach. Great selection of drinks, cakes sandwiches and breakfast. Friendly staff and reasonably priced.

Brilliant cakes for people with allergies

Great little cafe very good standard of food and friendly staff

Lovely little cafe. Dog friendly. Locally sourced food. I had a delicious bacon burger and chips. Generous portion for the money. My friends had different meals from me but were equally delighted with what they received. Friendly staff. Recommended checking it out

Popped in after a morning on the beach with hearty appetites and left feeling very well-fed. Portions are generous and the food is tasty. But it's the staff who really make the place. The lady who served us was absolutely lovely, and apologised for the wait even though we really didn't have to wait all that long considering it was in the middle of the lunchtime rush (she may have spotted our rather exhausted 4 year old and guessed we might need to get going quickly). What a gem - we'll be visiting again.

Best breakfast in the ho great value for money

Loved the beach at westward ho!

Westward Ho is a lovely destination. It's got a lovely sea refreshed lido, rock and sand beaches, some nice bars and this gem of a cafe. The owners are genuinely welcoming, it's close to the amenities and most of all the food. My wife is a coeliac and their lovely food including an epic gluten free full English breakfast and cakes were a godsend for both coeliacs and regular hungry appetites. Thanks to them for being so accommodating. We look forward to seeing you again in the future.

Nice and friendly people are working there. The food was delicious and the portions were really big. Nice place for a breakfast!

Excellent afternoon tea. Lovely little cafe in a perfect location.

This is a gem of a café a few steps from the front at Westward Ho! On my first visit the huge slice of carrot cake and coffee were excellent and good value. But I was tempted by the traditional breakfast items so for my second visit a few days later I chose the Eggs Benedict to go with my coffee. As with all the breakfast dishes this is freshly prepared to order and arrived with skilfully poached eggs and a tasty Hollandaise sauce topping on a wholesome bun. This will now be my go-to café in Westward Ho! for the wonderful service and top notch food and drinks.

Very friendly attentive staff, great food too

Lovely homemade food. Staff are friendly & helpful. Great atmosphere. Thank you for the plant based option. I would highly recommend.

We had the best (& probably the biggest) homemade scones here, & I had the Amazing big fried breakfast with fried bread. Would highly recommend.

It really nice Cafe nice staff friendly

Another dog friendly beating place. Good service and friendly atmosphere

Dog friendly, lovely food, good value for money, excellent service from Steph. Thank you for looking after us. We hope to be back one day. 😊

Sausage roll was not a proper sausage roll couldn't claim it as one. Cake tasted like wet sponge.

Simple but delicious dishes and efficient, smiling service

If I'm working in the area it's my go to place for breakfast . Great atmosphere , friendly staff , great food .Their Vegerarian breakfast is really good . Parking right outside is a bonus . 👌👍

Friendly staff, fab sandwiches (we had crab and smoked mackerel) with salad (well judged) and decent crunchy crisps. Recommended.

We accidentally stumbled across this cafe and thank the lord we did! I had been craving eggs royale for months and couldn’t find anywhere that could get it right but this place - wow. What an absolute gem. The coffee is amazing and the staff. Thanks guys for making our morning PERFECT.

Lovely dog friendly cafe. Nice range of meals available and delicious cakes

What a lovely local cafe that serves amazing food. Whatever your need, The Slice of Life cafe has a great selection and the staff are amazing too! They are also dog friendly! We will be returning!!!

Went fir lunch today with my daughter husband two grandchildren staff lovely very polite , friendly however the food wasnt that nice i had a cheese tomato toasty it tasted awful my litle grandaughter cheese sandwich wasnt nice .

Great little cafe. Went here on our way to Appledore . Welcoming staff, lovely scones and tea. Good for anyone , Excellent cake choices.

Lovely cafe, friendly staff & good food.

I ate here at lunchtime with my wife and 2 year old daughter (and our dog). We were made to feel really welcome, the lady that served us was great and really helpful. Food was all great especially the brownie! Will visit again during our holiday for certain! Reasonably priced and dog friendly, loved it!

Lovely cafe! Staff are so friendly and welcoming and low prices! Breakfast baps and coffees were delicious

Good place to have a lunch. Food is good quality

Lovely food, great service in a nice atmosphere, happy to come back anytime. Toasted sandwich gets a special mention, very tasty

Once again we had our breakfast in slice of life cafe. It was very nice both days. The cafe is clean, food is hot, staff are friendly. We will be back again in November. Dog friendly as well.

Excellent food, excellent service. Very well priced. Food came quickly and service was equally prompt. Couldn't recommend enough

Went in here for a lunch last Saturday. Although it was for lunch, two of us had the all day full English breakfast. The food was very well prepared and excellent. The fried bread was some of the best I have had. All the staff were very pleasant. Didn't try the cakes on offer but it did take a lot of will power not to as they looked really good! The cafe is also very dog friendly. Highly recommended.

Slightly disappointed. I asked if I could have a poached egg instead of fried. In due course my breakfast arrived but with 2 poached eggs. When I went to pay I was charged extra for 2 poached eggs. When I queried this I was told that it’s on the menu so because I didn’t have a fried egg but 2 poached eggs (only 1 required) I needed to pay but no recompense for not having a fried egg. The mind boggles.

Warm welcoming and delicious all day brekkie!

We have been coming to Westward Ho for quite a few years now and have no idea why we have not tried this cafe. The staff are all so friendly including the chefs. The food is delicious and the breakfasts look amazing. The door to the kitchen was open on both our visits which shows how confident they are in their hygiene standards. The cafe is very dog friendly and as we have four legged friends at home it is great but unfortunately on our visit there was a selfish owner who should of taken their dog out when it did not stop loudly barking, no fault of the cafe. We are back here in June and a return visit will be top of our list.

Good food, inexperienced staff though. Sat for a while as other tables orders were taken from people who arrived after us. But it was busy and the staff are all quite young. The food is great & the place is super cute

Slice of life is cracking place for food you cant go wrong we are local and visit hear alot really nice staff and food cant go wrong keep up the good work

The staff are very welcoming and always have a smile. The food is lovely and not overpriced as you get a lot on your plate.We always take our dog with us to the café. It's a lovely chilled atmosphere every time we visit.

Staff were lovely food very nice

What a little gem this place is! Ate their twice this week, full English breakfast both times. Food is generous and good quality, all local fare. Service is delightful, genuinely happy to see you, and a warm welcome guaranteed. On my top list, will be back for more great eats.

The go to Cafe in Westward Ho! Great cafe, excellent food and service.

Lovely place seling the usual stuff at reasonable prices. Good selection of cakes etc. Service was good also.

We got taken here by a local friend and its a must visit! Friendly team and very dog friendly. Food delicious. Cannot recommend it enough and can see why they were a 2023 winner.

Dropped in for coffee and cake with two wet spaniels . Very dog friendly and staff super friendly and very polite . Great selection of drinks and food .

Very expensive for what you get. £15.90 for what you see in photos. One sandwich eaten out of each one.

A wonderful warm welcome. Smiley friendly host. Delicious generous breakfast. Offered a generous mug of tea. Lovely atmosphere. Friendly locals with dogs. Generous proportions. We will be back. Thank you

Another great breakfast here again!! Definitely a gem here in Westward Ho!

Good food, nice spot near the beach, friendly staff, well priced and good portions.

Being away for just the weekend, we decided we didn't want to waste time cooking breakfast. We did a bit of research and read some great reviews so decided to give Slice of Life a go. We had a Full English Breakfast and a Veggie Breakfast. Both were absolutely delicious. Service was great, didn't have to wait very long. The staff were all cheerful and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Great food and friendly staff. Can eat in or take away.

Popped in here just for a coffee and a slice of cake. Good food and service

I had done some research before coming down on holiday for dog friendly places to eat. A slice of cake came up with good reviews so we thought we would give it a try. We walked in and were shown to a table, hardly having time to sit down before the waitress asked if our dog could have a treat. What a lovely way to make us feel welcome with a dog. Hubby had a toastie and I had cream cheese/salmon sandwich. Not only was the bread wonderfully fresh but there was so much salmon it was falling out the sides of the sandwich. No scrimping from this cafe. We were going to have a piece of cake after but simply couldn't manage any. We were so disappointed as they looked delicious we went back a few days later and bought some to take back to our rental for tea - well worth the wait. Don't walk past this place, go on and have some lovely food.

The breakfast was okay, not a lot of options for the children's breakfast menu, like pancakes or waffles. The milkshakes had bit of a funny taste to them.

Proper cafe, lovely food fairly priced, served by friendly people 👌🏼👍🏼

My boyfriend is an avid crab sandwich lover so it was important for us to find somewhere, being away by the sea. We came across this place. Absolute gem! We were welcomed in, with dog too :) We’d seen a special in the reviews online which we wanted to try. It wasn’t on the menu when we got there, however our waitress was eager to accommodate when we asked of it. The food was beautiful and fresh! Mountain of white bait, squid, and scampi- alongside bread, sauces, and importantly the tastiest crab meat! It was great value for money and we left feeling very happy. The staff were all lovely and seemed very happy to help. Thank you so much ‘A slice of Life’! Hope to be back again before the end of our holiday :)

We we’re down westward ho for a mini break,visited twice for breakfast bap and coffee.absolutely fantastic food and service.good menu as well

Nice friendly cafe. Recommended for a good breakfast 👍

Great service. Food was fantastic. We had toasties and a wrap. They all had huge amounts of filling and we're really tasty. The chips eere great too.

I had the nicest sticky toffee pudding cake ever, I'll be back in future to order it as my wedding cake, best cake I've ever had the luck of eating!

It’s gonna be short & sweet from a happy local , on a rainy windy day in Westward Ho at around 0900 hrs I told my wife I fancied a cooked breakfast, her answer was short & sweet, replying take me out then , so like the obedient husband I did😇. We managed to grab the only empty table in an already full restaurant (good sign), greeted by the lovely smiley Zara who sat us down at said clean empty table, ordering a full English breakfast & pot of tea for two . End result, excellent breakfast, fresh, plenty of it , great value, definitely recommend & will return.

Lovely warm welcome as soon as you go in, the staff were so nice! Table service and only short wait for food breakfast baps we're big and reasonably priced all food coming out looked amazing! Def go here again

Absolutely delicious fresh cooked food.i really liked the vibes of the place and the servers were really nice.would totally come again.

Have a cream tea they're the best

Friendly staff, great food, good coffee and tea

Came across this cafe by chance. Really friendly and efficient staff. Plenty of seating. The sticky toffee pudding cake was superb. Would definitely recommend this cafe.

Had sandwiches here, they were delicious and loads of filling. Great place to stop . Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Fantastic full English. Great price too. Thanks guys.

A lovely greeting with excellent service, I really recommend the Eggs Royale, great value.

Highly recommended, was a proper full English, friendly staff.

It's the lunchtime stop of choice for the family😉 An excellent birthday tea today, I'm stuffed

The best breakfast I have had in the area for a long time

We arrived in Westward ho! Quite early on the Saturday morning (getting on our way at 5.15am) We arrived at 8.15am, and after a quick walk around, we decided to get a full English. Well... what an amazing place!!! We were welcomed, as soon as we stepped inside, we also had our small dog with us, which again, he was very welcome! Fantastic range of food is available, either from the menu, or the specials board. I cant praise all the workers enough, from the front of house staff, to the cooks in the kitchen (who very often get overlooked!) The full English breakfast was amazing, both myself and my wife had this. My daughter, who is particularly fussy how she has her scrambled eggs with toast, was catered for with no trouble. My son just demolished his breakfast in record time... as always. If you do visit Westward ho! I seriously recommend you visit "a slice of life" cafe, amazing food, very welcoming and above and beyond in my personal opinion. See you next year Mr Dean Connor
