Ali @ Adeles in North Devon

We have mixed thoughts about this cafe. The food was really, really tasty, well presented, well cooked and very good value. The cafe was clean and had a good menu choice.  However, we have never visited this cafe before and we were confused by the behaviour of a man in outdoor clothing approaching each table with a dog on a lead, talking to everyone. This may have been the owner?  We felt this gentleman could have dressed more appropriately if he was working there, so that customers could identify that he was supposed to be working there?  We have no problems with dogs at all, but he could at least have washed his hands, before bringing our food to the table, to follow H&S practices...

This is a lovely little friendly cafe. Dog friendly too. Good food and chatty friendly staff. Food our family enjoyed included, toasted sandwiches, breakfast baguette, veggie breakfast and childrens sandwich meal. Lovely pots of tea. Grandaughter was given colouring to do and a chocolate treat. Dog was given a treat too. 🙂

lovely service food was fantastic lovely and hot and drinks were perfect lovely cafe beautiful decoration perfect breakfast

We visited twice during our holiday once for breakfast and once for lunch and the food and service was excellent both times. They could not have been more welcoming and patient even though we had one dog and 4 kids so came along with some noise! All food was delicious and everyone that worked there was lovely. Thank you.

lovely cafe cakes were delicious moist and fresh and drinks were made to perfection staff are so friendly and super fast service ☺️

Really good food. Definitely recommend. Very friendly staff. Local business right by the beach open every day except card

Great find! The food is lovely and the staff are so friendly and welcoming! It’s dog friendly too which is a bonus and there is a small dog menu

We visited in late August this year. Initially we went to Dolly’s and they were so unfriendly we walked out - night and day compared to this little gem! The queue was out the door and seating is limited as it’s quite small but still the lovely owners managed to squeeze us in! They were very welcoming and had no problem with supporting one of my daughters with her dietary needs (gluten free). Breakfast was fantastic for all of us and we were able to make a few swaps to individual items on the plates without being made to feel a nuisance (and they were very busy!) My children were made to feel important and the owner brought them colouring paper and crayons to add artwork to their gallery on the wall. No problem ordering a sausage for the dog too 😂 Hats off to this hardworking couple and their team.

5 star café, very friendly staff, beautifully cooked tasty food, very hard to find fault and would highly recommend the full English breakfast

A great place to get an all day breakfast. I had a veggie breakfast that was beautifully cooked. Good size portion at a reasonable price. Polite and friendly staff. Dog friendly. Would definitely recommend

Amazing Staff who went above and beyond to ensure I had a good experience and also amazing food. I stopped by when I was walking the SWCP so I needed a good breakfast to fuel me for the day. The cafe did not disappoint. The food was incredible and I even took a BLT Baguette for my lunch which I enjoyed overlooking Woolacombe. I will definitely be returning when I do my road trip of Devon and Cornwall

Exceptional value for money and a lovely breakfast, staff were really friendly and down to earth as well, will be going again when we return to Ilfracombe next year

breakfast was absolutely spot on! Perfect eggs! Really thick and tasty sausages. Quick service. Polite and friendly. Amazing price. Go there!

Arrivati per caso , sono entrata per un caffè e sono stata accolta con tanta allegria e sorriso sia dalla signora e le ragazze che lavorano qui . Locale super carino , intimo e molto pulito . Mi ha inspirato il buon odore della colazione che stavano preparando per gli altri clienti e alla fine ho preso un sandwich al tono , semplice ma super buono . Grazie mille a tutte quante .

Called in for some breakfast, busy little cafe/ takeout . Greeted warmly, food arrived quickly nice and hot and great quality ingredients. Good portions and a nice pot of tea to go with it, very reasonably priced.

Adeles is a lovely oasis by the harbour in Ilfracombe. Perfect for breakfast inside on a rainy morning - equally delicious take outs when you want to eat al fresco in the sunshine. Dog friendly too. Highly recommend!

Lovely family run cafe. Reasonably priced and good quality food. Lovely service and went back twice in one day as we tried the cream tea. Scones are lovely ❤️

Our host recommended Adele’s for breakfast and it was so good we went back again the next day! Lovely quality food, lots of choice and flexibility, friendly service and great value. Loved it!

Visited for the first time on Friday 09/12/22 but had a few more visits during the period we lived in Ilfracombe over the winter. We ended up trying to visit all 11 cafes in town and this was a definite favorite of those. The owner is Ali who took over from the previous owner Adele and now runs the cafe with the help of some of her ex-students from the local school. Located next to the harbour, the cafe is light and airy with a double aspect. It's quite small inside but very cosy as a consequence. The owner and staff are very friendly and the other patrons seem to reflect that as everyone ends up chatting. They sell local crafts of different kinds as well as seasonal special foods. The menu enables you to mix and match and I cant recommend this cafe highly enough.
