Bob's East End Cafe in West Devon

Bobs is THE go too place in Tavistock for ver well price great traditional cafe food! Breakfast is really good here. Great selection on the menu as well, and specials every day 😋

Great Breakfast Really good value and the best place to go in the Tavistock area , Great cafe in the large indoor market Superb!

Really decent breakfast for a fair price. Good quality and wait not too long at a busy time at lunch on a Saturday. Will be back.

Funtastic, yes funtadstic : only isdue in Tavy was parking me new Bugatti Shiron cuz I missed the bus! Wnt to Bobs for a nosh very impressed got a neal for 4 for usually what I spent on a glass of H20 at the Ritz! Visit here is a must!!!!!!!!!!!!!@@!€€€€££££¥¥££ P.S I was in disguise see pics so no one could recog an ultra fame like moi!

Like a previous contributor I don’t like butter on my sandwich or fatty bacon however when my bacon buttie arrived it was absolutely delicious, exactly as I had ordered and I couldn’t believe how reasonably priced it was. I would also class my self as a fussy coffee drinker but yet again my cappuccino was served lovely and hot and tasted perfect (in fact I ended up having a second as it was so good). I’ve eaten here many times over the years and have never had a bad meal so it’s a shame that the negative reviewer didn’t bring their complaint to the attention of staff at the time so they had a chance to fix the problem as I’ve always found them very accommodating Personally I think it’s a great cafe, serving local produce at a very fair price and the fact that it’s always so busy speaks volumes. Don’t let a single bad review deter you from trying you, I’d be very surprised if you were disappointed.

On a market stall nearby ordered x2 bacon baps to takeaway. Specifically asked for no butter but when got back we found had both been plastered in butter/spread. Very oily and one contained more fat than bacon. Totally spoilt by butter taste and poor quality bacon, would have taken back but too busy. 3 stars being generous.

Really lovely coffee sat in the sunshine in the heart of Tavistock. Brilliant service with great banter. Very dog friendly. Will definitely come back😋😋

Amazing brunch venue, and great value for money. Staff are completely bonkers, and happy to join in the laughter and banter with their customers. Thank you all.

We were passing and fancied some breakfast. It was first class!! All cooked to perfection and service with a smile too. We are already planning our return.

Best cooked breakfast in Cornwall!! Staff are very friendly- dogs are welcomed . Excellent value for money- large portions

Just about the best cafe anywhere. Great food, great service and great prices. It is a Tavistock institution this place and ideally located in the market. I’ve never had a bad meal there.

A very good place to eat in , the food is reasonably priced, they have wheelchair access, but they are closed on Sunday, so all I can say is yes peoples l will be going there again 😎⭐🔑

Great quality food, very popular with the locals, good level of service, even when busy. The manager is really attentive to regulars and visitors alike, a great experience.

Best breakfast in Tavistock by Miles! Great value for money I've thried all the rest so you don't have to. Go there now!

Ok! Here is my dilemma. 67th birthday & the Mrs asks what we should do. We eat out! We love doing it but we know it's not always the health option. But then again we are both 67 and have been doing this together for over 50 years. Done the Michelin stuff, done the healthy options. We have a longstanding affinity with Tavistock which offers a wide range of eating experiences. We have sampled most. For me, in Devon, it's hard to beat a drive across the moors (Ashburton to Tavy via Princetown) if the mist is not down! Bob's was the first place to leap into the memory so that's what we did! Great people, great breakfast options and in a location that just works for me! There is something special about this place. Yes the food is good but it's a social hub as well. Everyone is treated with respect. Always a warm welcome. Always good food. Always good service. Long live Bob's!

This place deserves all the accolades it gets. I'm not sure where the person was that gave them a one star review, it certainly can't have been here. The staff work their socks off to make sure the customer is satisfied with good hot freshly cooked food, as speedily as possible. OK fine dining it isn't. It's in a market for goodness sake. I'd also like to say it has some of the best bean to cup fresh coffee you will find anywhere and at an unmatched price. Go try it for yourself you won't find better value for your money.

Cannot fault the staff and the food, both excellent. Wife, granddaughter and myself throughly enjoyed our food. Brilliant value for money, and def come back here again. Now to walk it off with a walk through the park 😀

Brilliant, friendly, no nonsense cafe. Great food, big portions, fresh. Loads of choice. Best in the town by a mile.

An establishment in the great British tradition of cafe's- not smart (you don't need to wear a jacket or tie) but a family-run eatery with great food at great value run by nice people. It's always an bsolute pleasure to eat at Bob's

Whilst visiting Tavistock for the 1st time I was after a quick bite to eat. This cafe was bursting at the Seema with customers, and their faces said it all… I had to try a bite to eat. I went for a cheese burger and chips. It was delicious and a very good price too!!! Only took about 10 minutes to arrive, the staff were very friendly and I enjoyed my little stop there. I’ll be back again when visiting this area!

Ive eaten here before an i can say a real gem the choice of dishes are great there is something for everyone:) all cooked to order served with a welcome smile quality.quantity good value .i will certainly use again .its a pandoras box of yumminess:)

Always really good food, always nice and hot and served quickly and good portions. Staff are lovely and friendly.

Amazingly large menu bearing in mind the modestly-sized kitchen but excellent quality food and good portions. If you want honest, family standard, cooking with friendly staff this is the place to go

We arrived in Tavistock a little earlier than we had planned and so decided to stop off in the Pannier Market for Breakfast. We were recommended Bobs East End Cafe and so we paid them a visit. Good size Menu with plenty of choices for...

My husband and I had the gammon steak , excellent price , good value for money and very tasty . The market is a fabulous place to visit full of independent traders and has a lovely atmosphere to eat in

I come here less often than I would like now as in Tavistock much less frequently. Food is always amazing. Had Christmas Eve breakfast there which was truly delicious. Staff all really friendly and helpful especially with my daughter who has allergies. And one of...

Superb Bob the Builder and full English breakfasts. All cooked perfectly. Good quality ingredients used. Friendly staff and good service.

Very popular and friendly Cafe, with an excellent choice of food. Special offers for senior citizens, and definitely a very convenient spot to stop for a break from walking around the Market.

came down from Taunton to try the breakfast. had been in for coffee before which was nice. The full english and the vegetarian breakfast were amazing. spot on. Will be down again soon. 😁😁😁😁😁

Always great food and speedy service here. Everything cooked fresh to order and very reasonably priced.

Was pleasantly surprised had a great breakfast (all day breakfast) toasted sandwich. Very clean, freshly cooked good service

I have to say this was the best breakfast I’ve had for a very long time. A little bit of the east end in Tavy. The service was outstanding too. Can’t wait to visit again.

In my view the best value for a Full English anywhere. Did a review in 2019 and it's still just as good as it was then. Always make my way to Bobs at the East end of the Pannier Market for a Breakfast and they...

We had a delicious full English and a vegetarian breakfast and they were both top quality. The guys who served us were both really warm and friendly and made us feel really welcome. It was a great start to our day.

Popped in for lunch with family today. Lovely cafe with a nice atmosphere. Open kitchen, so you can see your food being prepared. The staff are friendly, the food is great and was prepared promptly. Prices are good and portions are generous. I'd highly recommend...

Visited Bob cafe twice this week, lovely food well cooked and presented , a lovely team and atmosphere- me and my family will definitely visit again . Linda (Kent) .

Bobs is a friendly and inexpensive place to get breakfast. The staff are polite and helpful. The food is fantastic, well cooked to order and delivered to the table. All round a great place to eat at a reasonable price. Looking forward to our next...

Tasty, fast, fresh, great staff, great prices! Allows substitutes and includes toast, tea/coffeewhich many don’t.

Hope the rest of the food served here is better then the "breakfast" we had although we will never return to find out. The fried bread was solid with one sausage cut in half, two slices of bacon sat upon a pile of beans and...

We are regulars at Bob's and can safely say if you want a decent breakfast or lunch at very good value this is the place to go in Tavy.

A frequent visitor to the interesting Pannier Market, we decided to re-try this quite simple corner where the cafe is located. Although it is unimposing in its set up the food and choices on offer would amaze any customer. The simple furniture is well spaced...

If you want good grub for a fair price then travel their place in Tavistock @ Market Hall | The Pannier Market, The crew make you welcome the food is very good high quality served with a smile in double quick time. Ideal place to...

Been coming here for years, love it, always a treat. Not done a review since 2017 so thought it was about time for another big thumbs up ! Today had one of my favourites, omelette, tomato with ample big chunks of onion. Your omelettes are...

Friendly staff as this was the first time we visited in a lovely location . The full breakfast was very tasty and if you did not want breakfast plenty of different choices. We went again at the end of our break as we enjoyed our...

Our first impressions were the great central market location and Bob who leads from the front, light hearted and personable. If the truth were known probably has little time for the entitled and their food fads. No nonsense caff grub.🇬🇧🇳🇿

Great location in the Pannier Market and plenty of seating inside and out. Friendly team and atmosphere led by Bob who has a great sense of humour. Senior meal deals but all meals are very reasonably priced anyway and plentiful. Latte £2 and very good....

Walking past I heard someone mentioning how great the coffee was so we had to stop! Excellent coffee and even better service. Thankyou ☺️

This is one of our go to stops for food while we’re staying in the area. Couldn’t fault this place, everyone is so friendly, the food is all cooked fresh, great prices. Wide choice of food, whether your stopping for breakfast, lunch or a snack....

Don't expect Michelin star cooking, but expect very good value for money and v good cafe cooking . Friendly staff, good variety of cafe grub, quickly cooked and presented. Get there early for lunch as it can be busy, that tells you how good it...

Lovely home cooked breakfast- very tasty . Friendly service with a smile and excellent value.highly recommended

Great honest grubb - super service and very very friendly and helpful. A real bonus to the Tavy market - well done BOB and TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Given the cafe is located in Pannier Market, I foolishly expected the cafe to be using local high quality produce, but sadly this is not the case. It is more of a greasy spoon you would find at a truck stop. The bread was akin...

A straightforward dog-friendly cafe in the pannier market. Good value food, and a wide enough menu to give us a number of low-carb options. Why aren't all cafes around markets this easy ?

This is non pretentious, good and honest food and quick! Everything is piping hot and good tea....Service is good and always with some banter and a grin..there is honestly nothing to moan about..

We had an amazing breakfast here. Perfectly cooked and really good value, set us all up for the day.

There is a gem to be found in the Pannier Market at Tavistock.Having meandered through the market, a well earned rest was required.We found ourselves at Bob's East End Cafe.The owner, Bob, is a genial gentleman in the true East end style. However , winkles, whelks and eels are NOT on the menu.Traditional breakfast is though which we found to be inexpensive and expansive as my stomach testified. The Bob the builder breakfast would set up any artisan for the day. All fare is freshly cooked and waiting times are minimal.There are other options available to cater for various dietary tastes.Anyway, don't believe what I write; try it for yourself. This gem does not trade in disappointment.Lovely grub!Even Delboy would be impressed.

My family and I had lunch at Bob's recently. As ex-Tavistock residents, we always try to get to Bob's when we are down. It's such an excellent cafe!The food and service was as excellent as usual. But what made the visit for us, was how Bob came and chatted/listened to our daughters (3 and 6), whilst they told him how much they love reptiles and dinosaurs! This shows above and beyond customer service! Bob then produced a bag of sweets for each girl....After lunch of course!Highly recommend this cafe for a family lunch or just a really good bacon sarnie!Thanks to Bob and his excellent team!

Nice friendly place with good sized portions - we paid nearly £20 for 3 dishes and 3 coffees. Located at the end of the indoor market - dog friendly as well.

Great gem of a place, Bob's is excellent. Having stopped for coffee and read the extensive food menu, we had to return a couple of hours later for lunch. Substantial servings, especially the liver and bacon, it was a delicious meal that was greatly enjoyed by all. Highly recommended!

Food is quick and staff are good fun to have around! Glad they’ve opened again with the new COVID rules in place, look forward to visiting for my regular coffee and breakfasts again now.

Popped in for breakfast with work colleagues whilst working in the area. The drinks we ordered were brought out quickly and the food followed shortly.The food was a good standard and reasonable quality ingredients were used, it was a no frill honest breakfast set in the market in the corner, good atmosphere

Cafe within Pannier Market. Social distancing well thought out. Tables cleaned thoroughly as soon as they were vacated.Good choice of "English" breakfast options. I particularly enjoyed bacon and sausage in eggy bread.... goodness knows how many calories but very tasty.My wife's choice was a much healthier ham salad sandwich which she too enjoyed.Cost with tea and soft drink a reasonable £10.

Visited Bob's Cafe within Tavistock Pannier Market today 11/7/2020, the food is great value for money and is hot. They have taken great care in setting out the tables both within and externally of the cafe so as to keep everyone safe, BUT.. the one thing their not doing is taking customers contact details as per government guidelines for track and trace purposes. I find this to be a total lack of care for their customers given all the other work done to protect their customers. Given that, I felt uncomfortable given I have immuno suppressant issues and couldn't wait to leave.

We stopped in on a rainy Friday for an early lunch - both of us had a pasty and baked beans and a cappuccino and the bill was £11. The pasties were the best we'd tasted, and the portion sizes were fantastic. Bob & his team were lovely - very friendly and welcoming. You can see why the café is so popular. The only downside (for us) was that we found them on the last day of our holiday...so didn't get to repeat the experience on this trip. But we have family & friends in the area, so we will be coming back again - and we will definitely be heading for Bob's when we do!!

We had an enormous english breakfast, all well cooked at a good price. Both members of staff were great and couldn't be more helpful. I'd highly recommend a visit and we will be going back when we visit again.The only downside is Sunday!! Bob, you need to open on a Sunday as we had a floppy bacon bap at Costa!!

Popped in today for lunch on this rainy Tuesday. Met with a warm welcome, good food & thoughtful service. At £26 for lunch (2 adults & 3 children who eat adult portions) plus drinks this was a rare find. Clean plates all round, will definitely return.

Often pop down first thing with the wife to save her cooking. Great food, great value.Clean and fresh. Such excelent value.

This is one of my favourite places to go for breakfast in Tavistock, lovely friendly staff and delicious food.

The cafe is great. Good value and great food. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. Plenty of choice on the menu too.

We always get lunch at Bob's Cafe when we visit Tavistock as the food is fantastic and very well priced. The staff are very welcoming and helpful which really makes for a very enjoyable visit. We honestly couldn't fault anything and will continue to pop in. The food portions are great, you will not leave hungry!

This is the best veggie breakfast I have ever eaten it is so worth the £6 cooked to perfection. The veggie burger is outstanding

went here this week. Had small fish n chips . was very good. glad we had the small though cos was still a good size meal. All cooked to order. Drinks were hot too (not like lot of places that serve luke warm drinks). Service is very friendly. . Will deff go again when visiting the town.

Stoped in for breakfast while the wife was in hospital. Great little cafe just like the ones I miss from the east-end. Nice to find a little corner of London doing what it does best a great cafe great breakfast and great value. Next time I’m back in the area will definitely be back for more

Called with dog Lucy and enjoyed an omelette with chips and a good coffee. Unfortunately the chips were cooked nearly to extinction so Lucy had most of them! Looking around everyone's chips looked fine so clearly this was an exception. My fault for not complaining since I'm sure Bob would have put things right but I have to write as I find in these reviews and have dropped a star accordingly

We dropped in on Tuesday afternoon, after the lunchtime rush and shortly before the end of cooking time. We were very warmly welcomed and you didn’t at all feel like these were people who wished the day would just end.

Great breakfast, great value, staff are excellent and accommodating. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Have been before and will be going again for sure. Keep up the good work guys!

We love Bob's! We've had many delicious breakfasts and lunches here at all different times of year: the food is always excellent, plentiful, well-cooked and well-priced, and service comes with a smile. We wouldn't consider going anywhere else in Tavistock for honest, good food like this.

Stopped at Bob’s for lunch during a Saturday trip around the market...amazing food, great value, fast service and friendly staff! We’ll come again for sure!

Thank you so much great food, super friendly, great service. Can’t wait to go back for another bit of grub. Head here for good honest food with quick service.

Stopped here for a quick lunch and it didn’t disappoint, good honest food with great friendly service.

This Eastend cafe is in the pannier market. They have a varied menu. (Unfortunately because of special dietary needs it's not for me.) Good big mugs of tea or coffee will keep us gooing all morning.

A well placed cafe in the market with a vast and well priced menu. Went with family and friends for a late breakfast before we went around town. The breakfast was well cooked and a good size for the price. The lady behind the counter was very friendly and the two cooks were rushed off their feet but did a brilliant job.

I highly recommend, wether your a local to tavi, work here or on your holiday this is the place to go for a bite! Reasonably priced, great choice and staff are upbeat and friendly no matter how busy they are. As long as I’m in Tavistock I will only use here for my breakfasts and lunches! Proper ansum

Well priced, friendly, great service. you can't go wrong for a no-nonsense breakfast in Tavistock. The Menu is long and they make practically anything for you.

Not our first visit, but won't rush back.

What a treat as much to eat as I could manage at a great price Basic cafe style good choices on menu pleanty of Vegi options

Had my first toasted tea cake here and it was so good I could of kicked the plate. It's worth the price as it is the size of a small plate

Bob's East End cafe is a fantastic place to visit. Situated in Tavistock Market its the best food and drink. The Big Breakfast is all you could want. Pleasant surrounding and fantastic staff

Full English with Coffee for under a six pounds takes some beating. This little Cafe in a corner of the Pannier Market is a place I alway end up Great Value. A steady local trade say no more, nice bit of banter going on, Love it. Huge menu but I'm sure if asked would try and knock up what ever you want.

I first did a review of Bobs East end cafe three years ago, we are no regulars and I wanted to give an up to date review.

Most of the time I pop in for a takeaway breakfast roll, the menu is extensive, it's always tasty, filling, fresh, and above all reasonably priced. I come back time and time again and am never disappointed. They really are all lovely people aswell. Keep it up Bobs

Wonderful breakfast made with really tasty local produce. Very reasonably priced so very good value.

What a great little cafe, stumbled across it whilst walking around Tavistock with our dog. Went in to ask if dogs allowed and informed that yes they were ‘but wives had to stay outside’ Typical if the friendly staff humour when we were there. Best value for money breakfast we have had in an awful long while, cooked just how we like it. Yes we, my wife was allowed in ;)

when we visit Tavistock on holiday we always visit bobs good food, good prices and friendly service. Last time there was a lot of building work going on, now its finished.

Cheap basic meals in the market. Similar to a greasy spoon, but does hit the spot. Lots of choice, but area can be cold in the winter.

We found ourselves in Tavistock looking for somewhere to have lunch on a recent trip to meet a dog breeder.

Perfect bacon and egg baps, lovely lovely people and great service. Can telephone order through and pick up a few mins later - saves hanging around if in a rush. Dog treats too!

If you have the pleasure of visiting Tavistock be sure to eat in Bobs EastEnd

nothing fancy, just good grub at a good price. you must try breakfast. also Egg & Bacon sandwich. good cup of tea.

After ordering food, the crisps that were with the meal were a month out of date. Then a slightly annoyed staff member over charged for a replacement order. Staff member tried to put me off by saying the re-ordered food would take over 15 minutes.
