Burridge's Cafe Tearooms in Torbay

After I thoroughly confused the guy serving about what I wanted, we ended up with warm scones… not the end of the world, we just had to wait a bit longer. I will say that their cream tea is a dream. Scones are exceptional! Not all cream teas are made the same, and the quality of the scones dictate this. Excellent scones and fruit to boot!

Lovely little local coffee shop with great choice, great food and great staff, plus's lovely wall prints. Highly recommended 💚

All good. Excellent gluten free scones home made. Totally recommend 👍🏻.

Delicious food and home made cakes. Great coffee and the Devon cream tea lovely. Nice friendly staff. Seating outside to watch the world go by.

Lovely view and fantastic service. great start to our holiday and the coffee was spectacular. will definitely visit again before the week ends.

Hands down the best cafe in Torquay. We always have coffee and lunch when we are in Torquay, which is frequently and the service, food, coffee are spot on and the cafe is spotless. Lovely young staff and comfortable atmosphere. Hope to see you again soon.

The Cappuccino was fantastic! The oat milk decaffe latte was also very good, and both were presented in a lovely fashion. The scones, clotted cream and jam were amazing, severed warm they were soft and very flavoursome! Dog friendly too 😀, great find as we walked on by.

Myself and my sister wanted to eat good delicious food when we visited Torquay, we decided to try Burridges because the menu looked a bit different from the usual cafe offerings. We weren't disappointed it was most certainly delicious, the staff were lovely and knew about the food they served. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and I'd recommend you try it if you like amazing well made food.

Lovely cosy tea-room with great selection of food and friendly helpful staff. Food tasted amazing. Would recommend to others to support this small business

Such a lovely place for breakfast. Toasties are banging - had a breakfast toastie and it didn't disappoint. Coffee is great paired with a lovely view of dock - definitely recommend.

What a find. Great food. Lovely people. Wish we’d found it earlier in our stay. Wish I could take this place home with me.

We visited last summer but thought I’d post a belated review as it was such a memorable visit! Serious coffee drinkers, they know their stuff. Breakfasts were cooked to perfection. Ask them about how a coffee walks haha! Lovely friendly staff. Will return.

Popped in for a coffee with family and having a lovley time very good indeed thoroughly recomend it

Nice Toasties. Good atmosfeer. It takes a bit getting used to the organic Coca Cola.

This was recommendeded to us for a traditional Devonshire cream tea. It's not prohibitively expensive but not cheap. They offer other goods in addition to scones, etc. Being a warm day, it was full outside so we ate in. Service is order at the counter, not table service. The scone was very tasty, as was the Victoria sponge, but I found the clotted cream tasted too savoury for my liking, with what tasted like cheese. My other half wolfed it down with no complaints.

The best fresh scones, jam, and cream. The staff were super helpful, the place was very chill, and it was the perfect spot to fuel up for the day.

Service is exceptional and they cater perfectly for gluten free. The gluten free scones are to die for. Definitely worth a visit or two.

All the stars. Best place to eat/drink in the bay, friendly welcoming staff, lots of food choices including gf and veggie options, excellent coffee. Today I also discovered they do THE BEST kimchi. Vietnamese coffee is my go to, but the peanut butter mocha is also amazing. Have visited twice this week, once with my partner and baby, and again with my family. Extra stars as your t shirt designs keep my 7 month old entertained and he loves looking at them on the walls! Will definately be back soon :)

We popped in for lunch on a day trip to Torquay. Very glad we did. I had the Savoury Tea, which was lovely. The cheese scones were warm, crispy on the outside and light and fluffy inside. The apple and chilli chutney was also amazing. My wife had the Powerbowl, which she said was delicious. Nice decor, nice vibe, staff were lovely. Would recommend.

Always get greeted by very polite staff, the tea has to be the best in Torquay for both taste and value and the cakes are lush. Most recent visit was on bank holiday Sunday where they were at their busiest, yet the staff were still so helpful and nothing was too much for them to look after the customers. Highly recommended ❤️

Lovely food, great service , Devon cream teas are delicious , highly recommend !!

One of my go to cafes in the bay! I love stopping by for brunch and a chai latte with my fiancé. The Karma canned drinks are lush, I love the lemony lemonade, the homemade granola is one of my faves, along with the healthy plate. Feel good vibes throughout, the decor is cool and the staff are always friendly. The cakes look incredible, I will definitely have to squeeze one in next time!

By far the best in Torquay to have breakfast, brunch or lunch and tea, or anything in between. Their sourdough bread is divine and they sell fresh loaves. Wonderful, quirky and beautiful little café. Our favourite spot there is the window bay tables. Highly recommended!

Went for a day trip to Torquay and this was the only thing I liked about the town.

14/8/24. We went into Burridge's at 14.48 to check out the good reviews & we weren't disappointed. We both had the cream teas & we have had a few more in other cafés before that, but found this place the best of them all 👍 The warm scones tasted spot on along with the jam & cream & the T had tea leaves + a tea strainer & being a change from T bags it was very good. It came in lovely white pots & 1/2 an hour later I had a lovely tasting coffee latte ☕ Our waitress was Bobby & she was most pleasant SO Instead of trapesing about TORQUAY make this place you first port of call 😁

Went to try the tacos based on a Mexican friend’s recommendation - they very kindly made me vegan chickpea tacos even though this was not on the menu! Massively appreciated & so delicious! Thank you :)

Another place to visit for the lovely staff. Courtney made some beautiful coffee art that was a shame to ruin and the food was just delicious and the atmosphere of this place is just exquisite. Definitely, a place to revisit if the staff are the same and Charlie the owner is a such a wholesome person to talk too.

Beautiful cream teas with excellent staff. Love the decor as well!

Had a beautiful toastie and cream tea, all of which were delicious

Had a delicious cream tea here. Large freshly made scones and a generous pot of tea. Lovely friendly staff and a charming interior. Would highly recommend this tea shop.

We visited Burridge’s on our holiday to Torquay last week. Staff are very welcoming and friendly. A good variety of food and drinks. We purchased two cappuccinos and a hot chocolate and they were delicious. The interior is amazing and will definitely visit again.

Order a coffee and sit in the morning shade and contemplate this. I’m always torn between content and presentation. There are cafes where the coffee is good, but service is awful and presentation is an unknown art. Then there are cafes (not chains I hasten to add) where presentation constitutes part of the package. It might be the choice of cup, saucer, plate, seating, shade or simply an accompanying smile. Whatever the reasons, it goes beyond the taste. Presentation brings with it a deep dive into the present and an experience that lives on, long after you have finished. Content is king? Not in my book.

A small but unique place to eat good food with helpful friendly staff. We had cream and savoury teas late in the afternoon but we're warmed by the welcome and service. The food and hot chocolate/pot of tea was spot on. We will return.

It was very pleasant. Staff was kind and the coffee was lovely. I don't usually drink coffee, but I had a white mocha and it was delicious. It is good to support them. It's a very cute cafe and very gezellig :)

We visited this cafe back in June 2023 and we are back again whilst down in summer 24. Lovely staff and the food and coffee is amazing.

If you are looking for a Devon cream tea, look no further as you will not be disappointed. It's very reasonably priced, and you get plenty with 2 scones, jam, clotted cream, and a pot of tea (the old-fashioned way with tea leaves) absolutely lovely one of the best 👌

Absolutely amazing food, served in a relaxed atmosphere. Great menu choices to cater for everyone. The staff are very friendly and helpful. A must if you are visiting Torquay!

Excellent service ! Lovely coffee! Small friendly little cafe

Fabulous cafe, very tasty food, beautifully presented, very friendly staff. Excellent coffee!! Fabulous location as well.

Lovely harbour-side cafe serving brunch, cream & savoury teas, various sandwiches & a wide selection of drinks. Pleasant staff & efficient service.

Really enjoyed our visit here. Loved all the artwork and my son was buzzing with all the Garfield references. Great service. Delicious cream tea with loose leaf tea. Delicious, 4 happy customers 😊

Just went here and it was absolutely delicious! The toastie tasted so fresh and lovely, and the coffee was perfection. Lovely staff too and funky decor. Give it a go!

First time in Torquay, hunted around for a nice looking cafe and found Burridges right on the harbour front… The food and service was excellent and would recommend to anyone! Toasties and the cream tea were sensational! Also the peanut butter a mocha is a game changer! Thank you to the team!

Great breakfast food, location is superb and very good service 👍🏼, most definitely recommend. Nice and clean and they allow dogs to come in.

Always friendly, efficient service. Excellent food too.

Such a lovely and welcoming cafe for a spot of light lunch today. Small range but quality choices on menu - all homemade - superb. Excellent friendly service and looking forward to going here again.

Lovely place for a afternoon tea. The service from all the staff was very friendly and welcoming. The food was excellent as was the cleanliness of the establishment was spot on 👍

You could walk past but it’s sad if you do, certainly the nicest coffee in the Bay Area, and some great cakes, but I reckon it’s the staff that make the experience and these guys truly do,

Lovely little place for a bite to eat and drink

What a great find! Brilliant independent place with great coffee, lovely food and ace staff!

Really good food, amazing vegan and gluten free options. Super cool venue, staff are lovely! Really good vegan afternoon tea!

Really loved the atmosphere of this cafe. It was cute, artsy and the staff were really friendly. We got scones and the Korean chicken melt with coffee, and the food was delicious. Would recommend!

Currently very much enjoying a delicious home made cake and perfect cup of tea (with leaves and a spare jug full of hot water) in Burridge's. Perfection. Absolutely recommend it.

The best food and coffee around! Amazing selection for all dietary needs and staff super friendly. Couldn’t recommend this place more! 😍

Lovely cafe on the harbourside. Had a range of plant based milks and vegan cakes. Didn't eat on this occasion but got an iced coffee which was excellent.

Visit to Torquay on what must have been the wettest day ever. Hardly a soul about, went in for coffee, the best ever and a cream scone to accompany it.

Lovely staff proper tea and food

The staff were awesome, so was the food. Lots of british classics elevated. I was brave and tried the black pudding sandwich, it was worth it! Cool decor as well. Most meals around £8/£10.

Fantastic coffee , food , venue and people !

Beautiful cafe in the heart of Torquay harbor

Our favorite place in Torquay ever. Best breakfast in Devon! And staff are so kind and professional that we cannot have breakfast in any other place. We love it!

Stopped here for lunch. Food was very good. Nice and friendly young staff. It is also dog friendly. I can recommend this restaurant.

I have not enjoyed a toastie as much as I did today, having had the pickle and cheese one. Even the lovely salad and kimchi hot sauce which just added to the different flavours. Such lovely members of staff and a cute, atmospheric place. Wish I didn't live so far away!

Stopped off here yesterday after a long journey, lovely welcoming atmosphere, really tasty cream tea! Nice views - highly recommend! 😁

Amazing find along the harbour at Torquay! Most amazing power bowls with all sorts of lovely veg and chicken option! Home made gluten and dairy free scones options was epic and a lovely surprise as was the peanut butter oat mocha! Lovely place and people and will be back to Torquay just for this place

Exceptional quality food -savouries, cakes and coffees- in a great little independent cafe. They’re serving up restaurant quality food here with top class cooking and ingredients at amazing prices. Friendly, quirky vibe and lots of space. Very highly recommended. Don’t miss it if you’re in the area.

Had a flat white and almond chai latte, as well as a vegan gluten free power bowl and a mushroom, leek, and cheese toastie. Great for vegan and gluten free people and no bother to make as it’s all fresh. Some of the best and most deliciously fresh food we’ve had and well worth the price. All the ingredients are high level, even the cheese and bread in a humble toastie. Side salad was incredible and I never thought I’d be waxing lyrical over a side salad. Great spot to sit and meet passing dogs.

Fab little cafe. Unfortunately the menu doesn't have many vegetarian options, and no vegetarian sausages or bacon or anything for alternatives for the breakfast so it would be nice if they updated that. The leek and mushroom toastie was amazing! It sounds strange and I didn't know what to expect but it was beautiful. We all had different toasties and all of us loved them. The easter egg cheesecakes were absolute heaven! And the drinks were all lovely. I'll definitely go again

Unbelievably good food amazing drinks I will be taking cake home every single this that we ordered I tried and was blown away by each dish. The staff have been nothing but amazing, the coffees are to die for. Love love love the music the decor I have already recommended this to my family and friends and I'm yet to leave. If I could give 10 stars I would. Thank you for a lovely experience.

Such a wonderful cafe that went above and beyond to make my Grandads birthday special. I made a simple request of a surprise coffee and cake and they stuck out a birthday banner, chocolate personalised writing on the cake and even treated the others to cake. Highly recommend!!

Not run of the mill menu but very nice

Fantastic coffee, friendly and welcoming, highly recommended 🥰

What a lovely find on our day out! Lovely pot of loose leaf breakfast tea, and the best cinnamon buns we have had!

We need more places like this in Torquay. Amazing coffee, hipster decor, good food that’s interesting and good quality! Haven’t found anywhere in this country where I can have a good Vietnamese coffee…Will be back!! Suits a younger and older crowd

If you are looking for somewhere where there is no intrusive music or loud customers needing to talk above the music, this is the perfect place for a nice quiet coffee, tea, and toasties brunch. Polite and courteous staff made lunch today a real pleasure. Thank you.

What a great place! The coffee, food and service 10/10 an absolute must!! And the window seats are great for people & dog watching

🤤 Everything at Burridges is magnificent. A classic looking menu until you look further and see some delicious twists which let's you know a true culinary creative is in the kitchen! Hands down the best hash browns I've ever had, and it's such a great feeling as a vegetarian to have so much to choose from. Incredible cake selection, made it impossible for my partner and I to choose one each so we left with four 😅 And the coffee is so obviously crafted by someone who knows speciality - best coffee in Torquay. Such a funky little coffee shop, I'll definitely be back, ideally with a book so I can spend the entire day eating my way through the menu.

The best Victoria sponge I have ever had. Thank you so much, the toasted tea was not bad either 😉. Keep doing what you are so good at doing, don't change anything.

A varied and very interesting menu, every dish we had was top quality and executed perfectly. The coffee was excellent and all enjoyed in a perfect harbour side location. Well worth a visit!

Lovely friendly atmosphere, staff were super friendly and helpful. Lots of options for cake and vegan options as well

Really great coffee, perfectly done toast, lovely staff. A real gem.

The food was incredibly good, the bacon and egg breakfast bap had 4 rashers of nicely cooked bacon 😋, and very reasonably priced All the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Decidedly different and well worth a visit. The food and beverages were absolutely lovely. Nice

Wonderful cafe excellent deserts and drinks staff very helpful and friendly food amazing service very good

Friendly service and a fantastic brunch. Great for gluten free sandwiches!

The coffee is truly the best. Really nice latte. Very good breakfast as well. The only place to go for coffee, breakfast and lunch.

Only had a coffee but it was nicely presented by friendly staff.

Lovely local friendly cafe. Great coffee and great service.

Amazing brunch! (Would’ve also worked for breakfast!) Delicious creamy yogurt with fresh berries and bananas and crunchy granola. The granola was just right- not too sweet - with lots of nuts. Generous helping!! Always pleasant service- my “go to” place when I am in Torquay! Oh - and the coffee - fabulous latte!

Fantastic coffee and really good food, a range of choices and not just your big standard full English, really refreshing! Staff are friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. Highly recommend this place!

For anyone seeking genuinely good filter, batch brew or drip coffee, this is the place you need to come. On our visit they had Cosmic Key from Dark Arts roasting, Colombian coffee from Finca Las Flores with an amazing candy grape aroma. Funky and delicious. Fantastic service from the staff who had a great knowledge of the coffee and skill in the brewing. Top notch.

Popped in on the off chance and so glad we did. Food absolutely lovely and the cakes are even better. Staff really polite and service on point. Perfect place for lunch. Highly recommend.

Lovely sandwiches and very freshly made

Bester Cappuccino den ich in UK hatte! Leckere Auswahl an Kuchen, alles selbst gebacken! Sehr aufmerksames und nettes Personal

Fantastic place for lunch. Decor is good, might be alternative for some. Food was great, loose leaf tea and great service. Highly recommended.

Popped in here for a quick lunch and had a great Ploughman's sarnie. Even the salad was tasty 😂 a lovely dressing with seeds. Nice drinks, friendly staff and nice plants on the shelves.

Kleines, nettes Cafe. Leckere Hot Chocolate!

احببت المكان جداً والاكل لذيذ وطاقم العمل رائع .. الاثاث انتيك وكلاسيك 😍. : I liked the place very much, the food is delicious, and the staff is wonderful.. The furniture is antique and classic 😍

One of the best scones I have ever tasted. Highly recommended. مكان جميل ؛ الشاي والفطيرة لذيذة جداً
