Angel Tea Rooms in Torbay

Awesome cakes. And very generous tea.

I've been to Angels tea room so many times throughout my life and keep going back for special occasions. I absolutely love their lunches and love their high teas even more. Loose leaf delicious tea, scrummy cakes and sandwiches, lush cinnamon toast. The staff are always so friendly. Service is usually pretty quick but can be a bit slower when they're busy. I'd recommend booking in advance (phone to book). I most recently went 2 weeks ago. The weather was beautiful, it was lovely to have a walk along Babbacombe Downs after lunch.

Just had the most wonderful cream tea where the service the food was just outstanding. Would definitely recommend this place if you're in the area.

Had a wonderful cream tea with my cousin on Saturday 21st September. Extraordinary generous portions. Absolutely delicious. Made the highlight of the day. Highly recommended.

Visited by recommendation for the afternoon tea. Large selection of different tea meals. The sandwich and scone meal I had was really filling.

Beautiful tearoom in a lovely location. We were able to view the sea from out table outside. Lovely scone... I chose plain. Also had a ham and cheese sandwich which was delish.

I'm dairy intolerant and staff were very helpful. Had a vegan scone , very nice. Sorry forgot to take photos.

We were a party of 8 friends and had reserved the dome in the front courtyard. We arrived in Babbacombe an hour early but our table was free so the staff were happy for us to bring forward our booking. We’d only intended to have a cream tea but the menu is so extensive we ended up with a full afternoon tea. It was plentiful & absolutely delicious. Having the dome to ourselves was fantastic. The staff were very helpful and polite and provided boxes for us to take home our leftovers. The loos were clean too! An excellent experience with absolutely no faults & I’d definitely go again.

Tolles Kaffee, nette Einrichtung und exzellenter und üppiger Cream Tea, nicht zu toppen. Freundliche Bedienung. Parkplatz in der Nähe.

Fantastic food, great service lovely staff, make sure you visit

Our favourite place in South Devon for an amazing cream tea, situated on Babbacombe Downs, hidden away is Angels Tea room. BOOK a Table if you don't want to be disappointed as it gets busy and has only a dozen tables. A huge range of different teas, breakfast and sandwiches. My only gripe is that when busy it gets full with not much room to move when your seated, gorgeous views over the downs, the staff are excellent, attentive and polite.

Angels is a family favourite! Delicious cakes, sandwiches and cream teas. Large portions. Reasonably priced. Great location overlooking Oddicombe Bay. There's a car park a 1 minute walk away on Princes Street. Cute, old-fashioned, kitsch aesthetic and decor. The staff are always great.

Been here numerous times, excellent food, nice fresh scones, love the cinnamon toast! Fast service! Recommend

Decided to go here after hearing so many people raving about how good the Cream Teas and Afternoon Teas were. WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED !! We had (1) cooked full English Breakfast, which we could not fault, and also a Cream Tea. Excellent Scones.....Light and fluffy !! Good (choice) variety offered too. Plenty of Clotted Cream and Preserve. Traditional Bone China and Lace Tablecloths. Service very good and staff pleasant. RECOMMEND TO ALL..... we will definitely be returning!!!

Amazing place and fantastic service. The food was amazing and my partner and I had the Angelic Full Tea, which was divine. Definitely recommend if you have not been there before.

Delightful courtyard area at this popular café on beautiful Babbacombe Downs. A cream tea with a generous supply of delicious Devon clotted cream and strawberry jam. The scones were a little on the dry side whilst we would have preferred a dollop of clotted cream and jam rather than plastic containers. Cream first. Obviously. Happy crew.🇬🇧🇳🇿

Gorgeous little tearooms with delicious food. Quirky crockery. Amazing scones and soo much choice. It has lots of flowers around so be careful if you don't like wasps sit inside. They have a Dome to dine in too! I think this may need to be pre-booked. I had baked potato with feta, apple and walnuts. I'd definitely recommend. My husband has tuna melt and my daughter has a savoury and a sweet scone and loved them both ❤️ The drinks available were great too. I had an iced coffee made with ice-cream 😋 yummy!

Found this place on the last day of our holiday, sadly 😥 The food was absolutely delicious and the tea room very quaint!! My son's both had a cherubs breakfast and myself and husband opted for the sandwiches with cream tea and cake which was amazing 👏

Had to show my American friend a Afternoon Tea and googled this place and the reviews lived up to it. Lovely staff inside. Nice warm scones with clotted cream and so many teas to choose from. Would return here for an Afternoon Tea.

Our annual trip whilst staying with family. As always delicious. Highly recommend the angelic cream teas and thanks for the boxes to take left overs to the beach. So much choice and all tastie.

Went to angels for a sandwich and a pot of tea for 2. The food was very nice. We were shocked when we had the bill. The sandwich was chicken and we were charged for the chicken breast 125 the bill came to 28 pound.

Lovely variety of scones and other lunchtime meals

Loved it here. Very friendly and a great choice of gluten free cakes and cream teas/scones. Busy but managed to get a table as someone else left.

What an absolutely amazing Tearoom. Staff were amazing, portion sizes a joy to behold and the food just Triple-A, I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Fantastic sandwhichs filled nicely Perfect scones with huge choice of flavours

Party of 7 celebrating a 94th birthday, service was superb along with the food.

Excellent scones, great friendly staff. We arrived after 4pm (closes at 4.30) and staff couldn't be more accommodating. Will defo be back the next time I'm down.

A lovely old fashioned tea room, the food is lovely the staff are extremely helpful enjoyed our visit.

At the end of our coastal path route we had an extensive tea with scones and sandwiches here. Nice and friendly service. A truly English tea house with outdoor patio.

Took Mum for an 80th birthday 🎂 treat. Book well in advance as quite a small tea room and gets busy

I travel over from Exmouth regularly in the summer by ferry and bus for a gluten free club sandwich and a pot of tea. Friendly staff, good food and lovely surroundings.

Excellent food & service, very tasty & all fresh

We love finding dog friendly places to eat, and Angels Tea Rooms didn’t disappoint. The cooked breakfast was absolutely delicious, super friendly staff, and we got to sit outside and enjoy some sunshine too! This place was recommended to us by Luke at the rooms, where we were staying.

Love this place. Old fashioned charm, bone china cups and saucers, great choice of different scones and jams, and sandwiches along with the friendliest of staff. What more could you ask for? Will recommend and return again and again.

Always a pleasure to visit, Great Food & atmosphere 😀

Had a lovely afternoon tea .everything was freshly made and the scones baked on site were delicious. Generous serving of cream and jam and sandwiches full of filling and served with salad

I love this place but unfortunately today I changed my opinion. I had booked table for 5 persons outside. Service was no nice today I can said rude for my daughter and her friend.Also I found hair in my food and I discretely said the service. Also when I payed bills ,lady asked me how was your meals today .I said I found hair in my meal.Shame I didn't heard sorry 😞 or anything else. I'm disappointed,upset.I no will be visiting 😇 Angel again!!!! Thank you

Lovely cups of tea down on the babbacombe downs. Tea was superb x

We had very nice scones for tea sat outside very nice indeed

Delicious scone and coffee, friendly service highly recommend this lovely tea house

Always top class cuppa and cake

Little bit expensive tea cake for 2

Beautiful palce breakfast was yummy 😋

I thoroughly enjoyed our Devonshire cream tea (and a sandwich) at Angels. The staff were lovely, and the food was delicious. Fantastic assortment of scones which were served deliciously warm. Thank you for having us!

Simply love this tearoom. Lovely ambience, good food and friendly staff.

Busy cream tea cafe on Babbacombe seafront. Asked if we’d booked ahead but managed to fit us in even though it was very busy. And for good reason - the freshly made onsite scones used for their cream teas were divine. Alongside the loose tea served in china teacups made for a classic tearoom experience. Recommended.

Hands down the best cream tea in Torquay

Good food and service just a tiny bit cramped

It was a very nice visit with amazing customer service

Such a great little place. Lovely sea views from the courtyard and cosy indoor seating. The menu is impressive for a small place and the food is great quality (scones are warmed, tea is served with extra hot water) but even more noticeable is the the service which is really superb. The staff are super flexible so you can order to suit you and nothing is too much trouble - really refreshing. We will continue to come back every time we’re in Devon!

A really good Birthday treat. An old fashion Tea Shop. Good food, good service and a lovely atmosphere .

Food and in particular the cream teas are top notch! We had pre-booked a table as we wanted to be sure - got given the worst table right by the bar (very noisy) yet the restaurant was totally empty. We would have had a much better experience with a bit more thought about where customers might be comfortable.

Popped in for a cuppa. Well looked after

Found this due to reviews online and yes it is very good overall. Food, service and atmosphere. It has an old world vibe which I love. The plates and cups have a nice old British tea sets I saw as a child. The scones were fresh and delicious. I really loved them, very bad for my diet. The cream was thick and fresh. The jam just made it divine. With such a large range of scones I am glad I could stop myself trying them all. Their cakes are delicious as well. I highly recommend here. Even off peak it was busy.

On holiday in the area and was looking for a place that did gluten free scones and cakes for my fiancée and Angels was highly recommended by several people. We’d left it late in the afternoon to go but we rang and asked to book a table at 4pm and was told that was fine, there was room to fit us in and also a wide variety of gluten free options still available. My partner was very happy with the gluten free options and really enjoyed her gluten free cream tea. I had the none gluten free option and that was great, the scones were delicious and came with plenty of jam and clotted cream. Great variety of tea and coffee options to drink as well and a great value for money as well. We even brought a few scones to take back to the holiday cottage for the next day. Highly recommended and will definitely visit again when we are in the area.

Excellent experience in a nice , relaxed atmosphere. Varied menu at very reasonable prices . The staff were very pleasant , helpful and patient . The food was really well presented and extremely tasty .

Amazing food lovely service recomend this place highly

I love it there, had a great time, a glimpse over sea, flowers around. Very nice energy 😊

One of the best scones I've ever had. Never seen so many different tasty options. Today was the turn of the Ginger Scone. We will definitely be back to try more.

We visited Angels for a cream ta while in Devon. What a treat, being a Ceoliac I always worry what gluten-free options will be available. I was thrilled to find out I could get sandwiches, cakes & gluten-free cream tea here. The food was beautifully served & was really tasty. I highly recommend Angels in Babbcombe for a gluten-free cream tea.

What a treat finding a gluten-free cream tea in Devon. I can highly recommend Angels for tasty warm scones.

This place is AMAZING! We visited the day before our holiday ended and we wish we had visited sooner! All of the previous reviews are spot on! This was the best cream tea we’ve had anywhere (and we’ve had a lot) we arrived late afternoon with no booking the place was very busy a lovely lady greeted us and cleared an outside table for us! The same lady came back to take our order she was so helpful, sweet and kind and could not do enough for us! I had the half cream tea it was delicious my daughter had cucumber sandwiches and a white chocolate scone which she loved. My husband had a round of sandwiches, scone, cake and the most amazing cinnamon toast you could ever taste! He got offered to have his sandwich toasted which he took and loved it, he got a choice of cake which was huge and we all got a choice of scone they have so many flavours I was a little overwhelmed! I cannot praise this little place highly enough everything about it is amazing, the lovely helpful staff, the wide choice of cream tea to suit you, choice of cake and a huge choice of flavoured scones all home made and a wider menu! The food is also fantastic value when compared to other places. It was also dog friendly we sat outside with our little dog. The views are also amazing 🤩 we would definitely visit again xx

Excellent overall. Shame like many places, allow dogs inside.

Taken here for cream tea fir my 79th birthday. I live in the bay but this is the best cream tea in Devon . A definite definite must for everyone

Breakfast was lovely, service excellent, would definitely eat there again.

Excellent service. Lovely food. Choice includes cooked breakfasts or cream teas. Lovely views especially in the outside clear pod.

Had afternoon tea. Giant scone of various flavours with an abundance of clotted cream and jam, washed down with quality tea. Lovely.

I adore this amazing tearooms, every single visit is lovely great service, great food and great location. Definitely my go to place for a delicious afternoon tea

Lots of choice including multiple Gluten Free cream teas and sandwiches. Nice to be able to go somewhere that you don't feel you have to apologise for being cealiac.

Lovely tea shop. Amazing scones. Plenty of choice. Advise booking.

Lovely place and very nice cream tea, scones were awesome

Absolutely gorgeous afternoon tea. We hadn't booked but turned up and were sat immediately at an outdoor table. The scones were warm and delicious! Great prices too.

Excellent scones as usual, would recommend.

Excellent food in an excellent location! Great atmosphere with a stunning view!

Probably the best value for money cream tea I've had when factoring in the quality and size of the scones and cake. It's a must try if you're in the area.

The Heaven on earth 🍰 Kindness, courtesy and what fantastic flavors .... Amazing scones and delicious sandwiches and cupcakes. Reservation absolutely necessary

Excellent service and food, would recommend the Breakfast, option of door stop bread!!

The Devin cream tea was incredible, I would heartily recommend the ginger scone with clotted cream and ginger jam!!

On a very blustery day. We found this little treasure in Babbacombe. Loved the quirky decor. Beautiful home made warmed scones, just like my grandmother used to make. Generous amounts of clotted cream. Real leaf tea which was also delicious, all served on vintage crockery. We had also ordered cake , but we were rather full. So it was boxed to bring home. Courteous staff. Loved it. If were down this way again. I certainly will be trying one of their lunches.

Lovely cream teas in a great location!

Called in for a coffee with my mother in law. Ended up having a cream tea instead. Excellent as always. Took home some gluten free cheese scones which were the best I've ever had. If you have never been to Angels I highly recommend booking a visit. Always good service and lovely staff.

Fabulous! Great scones, generous portions, lovely service. I highly recommend the place!

Booked for daughters birthday but when arrived no table prepared had to wait while table was squashed into outside pod. We were assured it would not be cold but because of where table was positioned we had to keep coats on. Freshly cooked scones were nice and good choice but expensive. Overall disappointing as special occasion and not like previous visits.

Amazing afternoon teas. Plenty of food and great service.

Was a bit confused and something felt off when they said there was no seating available for use when there were clearly 4 tables available and I could see their hand written chart that there were spaces available. They asked if we wanted to sit outside. It was raining and windy. We went Babbacombe Bay Cafe instead where we felt more welcome.

Great breakfast. Cheese on toast was a bit too much of a doorstop and my partner would have liked something smaller and better priced, it was a bit much for what it was. Overall though a pleasant eating experience in a greenhouse pod.

I was given a voucher for my birthday and my daughter came with me. We went for Afternoon Tea on Saturday. It was absolutely fantastic. I was very impressed by the standards for Covid prevention. In fact l thought the cafe was much better arranged with the tables spaced out more and plastic screens between tables. There was a great selection of sandwiches and homemade cakes and the scones were to die for. Don't hesitate to go to the cafe.

Friendly service, food is great, scones are amazing

Abundance of food, friendly good service.

Beautiful ole tea shop Very quaint and great value. Only small so i would suggest booking in advance .friendly staff too.

Food is good quality and generous helpings. Toast is really thick (doorstep) and bacon rashers are large. A really filling breakfast. Cream teas are good too.

Always a pleasure to visit. Food wonderful. Staff lovely. Felt very safe. Looking forward to next visit.

Fantastic place especially the cream teas. I experienced a cheese scone today. Delicious 😋

The food was great.. and very filling. Ending up taking the cake home. But it was delicious. Staff were friendly. Cafe was lovely and clean.

Lovely GF scone. Great service as always. Sadly plagued by wasps! Not the business fault of course just this time of year & ventilation needed due to covid. Possibly opening the sash windows & installing fly screens would allow the airflow & stop the wasps from coming in. Then the door could be closed but the room would still be ventilated.

A pleasant breakfast and a lovely location.

Great variety of scones, cakes and sandwiches and friendly too

Garden centre with restaurant. Food good and reasonably priced. Helpful staff. Good range of plants and gardening needs. Just stocking up with Christmas goods. Go there regularly with my elderly mother because there is easy access and the staff are so helpful and patient with her.

Always a fabulous place to visit. This is a full Angels cream tea, but their hot food is good, especially the breakfasts. Lots of choice, even on the limited menu so be prepared for some serious decision making! Lovely mixed crockery, so its exciting to see what you get there, as well as in the choice of scones, sandwiches and cakes.

What can one say absolute delight, we had their Cherubs tea which includes an extra filled sandwich which we had on granary bread, followed by beautiful extra large fruited scones accompanied by a large pot of clotted cream & strawberry jam & not forgetting the loose leaf pot of tea & extra hot water served in bone china cup& saucer.
