The stingy owner only gave me half a sausage on each half of my sandwich which equals to only 1 whole sausage out of a packet where as if you was to come on holiday to my home town birmingham we give u 4 sausages when you order a sandwich like most cafes do but this 1 was poor nd bankrupt I wouldn't even tell my dying emeny to eat there stay aways people save you money

No Food Rating gives it away. Watching the owner, after serving a meal to a customer on an outside table, lift up his white T-Shirt showing his belly to wipe the sweat from his face and head made me nearly vomit. Quality establishment, how does it survive? No, I didn't eat here, I watched it all from the balcony opposite.

First impressions when entering the creme cafe .he rolled his eyes at first greeting like it was so much effort he seemed really offended that we asked for a breakfast. My mate felt uncomfortable and had to leave. Leaving his coffee wich then was handed to another customer 😆 the eggs were gooey and bacon was oinking at me terrible place

I couldn’t ask for anything better, during my visit to Cafe Creme. The food, the service, the location and the prices! They’re all exceptional. 10/10 would definitely come here again and I immediately suggest this restaurant to anybody else who is considering it.

Overpriced, the sausage sandwich was poor quality and had 2 thin sausages with 2 thin slices of bread. In the mega breakfast the bacon was overcooked, eggs were undercooked, mushrooms were very dry and the hash browns were bog standard, so overall will not be ordering again. What a complete waste of money. Left feeling highly annoyed about spending money on this and disappointed.

The people who run this place are rude,use foul language,and the worst part is they are unhygienic!! Watched the man who looked really scruffy smoke a cigarette,rub his nose & hair then make food without going near a sink?! Saw empty tables at the lunchtime rush hour,but,can't say I'm surprised as the woman stands scowling at passers by when she isn't swearing or shouting with the man (went past on multiple occasions)!! Saw they got a ZERO from food standards and have somehow only just managed a THREE !! Disgraceful.

We were told “we could only order off of a lunchtime menu because in an hours time they would be busy”. We was told we couldn’t order certain drinks (latte) because it wasn’t on the ‘lunch menu’.(We left and walked past 1 hour, it was empty).The cafe was grotty, table sticky.We heard her talking rudely about us to the chef, very unprofessional.

Terrible!!! Rude. Don’t like tourists!!! Avoid. Broken tables. Spoke about us because we asked for some sauce saying unless they pay there not having any.. slammed plates down after paying just over £30 for 3 snacks. No please or thankyou very rude asked if I could use toilet to be told no we don’t have any use the public toilets in kfc!! .. my son had a bottle of orange juice in his pram I bought out with me and was told he could not drink it on there premises. And I would have to move away for him to drink it leaving me to walk onto the footpath so he could have a sip very unfair As the rest of us had ordered drinks from there.. from if I hadn’t of paid before ordering I would have left. Other customers felt the same even saying they was disgusted with how they was spoke to and would not return plenty of lovely other places to try don’t make the same mistake as us.

To say this place needs a clean is an understatement, the service and attitude is about as bad as it’s cleanliness, considering their main custom will come from tourists they actually don’t like them and openly complained about them. DO NOT bother with this place, you’ll only be annoyed by their service and attitude.

Hugely impressed by the breakfast at this cafe. We visited as a family of four and how the gentleman cooking manages to keep all plates spinning what with cooking the food and serving customers is beyond me but he did it! The food was delicious and cooked to perfection. Also, the gentleman was keeping a close eye on covid safety and requested people to wear masks when ordering which again was impressive given how busy he was and what he had to attend to. Would definitely visit again. Thank you very much.

I am writing this to warn everyone that this cafe is the worse that I have ever been in and you should most definitely avoid it. .As soon as we entered the man cooking the food told us in a stern voice that we should be sitting at a table for two no please or thank you we decide to order two full English breakfast as we were sitting at our tables we noticed that our table was very sticky and dirty so just tried to clean it ourselves With detol wipes the best we could. We looked around the cafe and noticed that there was food splashing on the walls, the floors were dirty and there was rubbish under the food counter the man came with the food to our table and said toast will be soon when he eventually came with the toast he just slapped it on the table and said here’s your toast and it was already buttered still very rude no thanks or anythingand to top it off the food was cheap and tasteless.

We just went in for a coffee to get out of the torrential rain, but wished we had picked somewhere else. The place is so dated, it is about 40 years overdue for a refurbishment. I suppose the signage above the restaurant should have warned us. Coffee was nothing special either. We intended to stay until the rain subsided, but decided to brave it rather than sit in such depressing surroundings.

The fish was really delicious with a very light batter, the chips, well it has been a long time since I have had hand chopped chips, they tasted like my mums it was a wonderful meal, It did take a while for the meal to arrive because it was all fresh, it was worth the wait, thank you

We saw this lovely looking cafe, poked the nose of our 6 month old baby’s pram in only to be ushered out the door by one of the staff into the pouring rain as it would get the floor wet. Not able to comment on coffee or cake just the attitude of staff was uncalled for.

Had a really nice gluten free cream tea here. For a change the scones did not contain fruit. The texture of the scone was gorgeous. Not dry at all. After talking to one of the female staff I learnt that the gluten free scones are made by a local lady in a gluten free kitchen. I would highly recommend this if it is a cream tea you are looking for. When we visit torquay next year we will definitely be back here. I am gutted I did not take a photo as I normally do.

Stopped here for lunch as menu looked great and good value for money. I had a big breakfast, hubby had fish and chips, girls had an American burger each. Food was all cooked from fresh and was absolutely amazing. Cost just over £32 for the 4 of us (including drinks), which I thought was brilliant as in Torquay town. We were greeted by a staff member as we went in, she was nice and friendly, showing us to our table. She chatted to us on and off throughout our stay making sure we had everything we needed. A lovely little cafe, great food and definitely value for money! We will definitely return

Chose this cafe for cream tea for two. What a mistake. Firstly told where to sit as only two of us not to sit on table of four. Despite there being only two other tables in use. Then sat on table for two right opposite counter. Also very tight squeeze for people accessing toilet. Not practical. When served. Scones came on one large plate not two separate plates. Scones warmed in microwave. Dreadful. I’ve had many cream teas in various places and this was the worst. Would not recommend this cafe.

We ordered gf & normal cream tea, we were given cream & jam to share, so not gf, and only scones with sultanas asked for plain they didnt have asked for refund and was only issued £2 not £6 as hubby had already started using the jam and cream which they said was enough for 4 scones? Essentially I paid £4 for 1 cup of tea! Not happy at all. As a coeliac it destroys your confidence when they say they are gf but issue you a share pot with someone who is eating food with gluten in.

Normally I only ever leave good reviews online, if I don't like somewhere I don't normally bother leaving a review, but after reading the shocking (yet laughable and therefore entertaining so, thanks) responses other people have been given when giving a poor review, here goes my first! I came here today with my other half on a rainy lunchtime in Torquay. Walked in through bottom door where the kitchen is and up to the cafe seating by the door where you order your food. We weren't acknowledged by either member of staff (man in kitchen and woman at till) doesn't really bother me personally but as you think your customer service skills are so excellent I thought I'd mention that as the first thing you should be doing (I work in customer service and always greet my customers, a hello isn't rocket science). Sat down and looked at the menu, decided we would have a breakfast, and an omelette. Went to order the food and asked for a Coke and water to go with it, was told that we would have to pay for a bottle of water, still early days at the point so gave the benefit of the doubt and agreed without questioning it. Asked if I could pay by card and was told they didn't have the facility- understandable for small orders but any transaction over £5 these days, people would consider that to be living in the dark age, not only that but there should be a sign up saying cash only to give people a heads up to get some before ordering, add to this the fact that I had my card in my hand when making my order and it wasn't mentioned! Anyway, again, early days so didn't complain, was told there was a cash machine just over the road behind the bus that was there (there wasn't, it was quite a way up the street, in the rain). Paid for the food, got to the table and was relieved about my bottle of water in the end, as my glass was filthy (your dishwasher needs the filter cleaning). Food came and we can't complain about the quality as it was lovely, it tasted great, it was hot and it was good value. We weren't offered any sauces so I went on a hunt for those. Started eating and a mature family of four sat down and ordered some food. I heard the elderly chap ask very politely if he could have a glass of tap water and he was told he couldn't, could you please explain the reasoning for this? I didn't mind for myself but I felt bad for this man and I started to cringe at this point by the customer service. I realise I'm rambling on a bit but I still have so much more I could say! Like the fact that two ladies came in and ordered ice cream, they had sat down whilst they waited and it took you ages to tell them it's take away only. It was raining and the cafe was quiet with loads of spare tables, I understand you can't always seat these people but could you not have let them sit untill more customers had come in, as a gesture of good will? I'll wind this up now with the fact that you took my partners plate away when I was still eating! To summarise: good food but not worth going due to the frosty atmosphere! I cannot believe your response to the customer on here who asked for a breakfast without a tomato, who are you to comment that they had a made up allergy, you should keep those thoughts to yourself as you are working in a cafe and should be providing good customer service, it's not your business to make such a comment!

Myself and my wife have been here twice now whilst we are on our honeymoon. Both times has been just as fantastic as the other. The food, that is proper home made food and you can see and taste the difference as soon as you see it. The staff are very welcoming, warm, friendly and helpful. We totally love this place and will ensure a couple more visits before we leave. Thank you so much to the staff and managers. You work so hard. Keep up the hard work. Much love and hugs. See you soon!!, :) xxxxx

We used to frequent this cafe before the extension and it was always good. Has it changed ownership ??

I've left a review on Facebook under the name of Stacy on there Facebook page , for a start I am absolutely shocked by some of the bad reviews ! We've always come here the owners are lovely , the food is great we have the breakfast it's well cooked , tastes fresh an always hot , we use to live in Torquay but live in Newton abbot now and we've even caught the train here for breakfast often with our newborn and daughter ! Think some of the reviews are unfair to say the least ! Last visit yes we waited abit longer than normal for our breakfast but again it was busy , and was worth the wait we didn't ask about the wait as we could see it was busy and again all Cooked from fresh ! Would never stop coming here , please don't take in the bad reviews try it for your self don't let it put you off you certainly won't be dissapointed ! See you again soon guys ! (-:

my other half and I popped in for a cup of tea whilst out shopping and we're told that if we were buying only drinks we had to sit outside. by this point I had already paid and we were made to sit outside in the rain drinking our tea.

We came in around 1.30 for what should have been a quick very simple snack.... 2 teas and 2 Cheese and Tomato baguettes.The tea came out quite swiftly 20 minutes later and tea all drank we still hadn't got our lunch.The place wasn't very busy,although tables all cluttered with crockery and cutlery.We did ask the lady behind the counter where our lunch was,she replied kitchen is swamped,will chase it up.The atmosphere is very frosty! The lady behind the counter is quite rude and the man cooking it looks like he will snap! I previously worked in customer service and this is one place that could certainly do with it,even from the replys to other reviews on here... Shows the characters running this concern!!! Not long after lunch arrived,the kitchen was closed! Due to some disagreement within the kitchen.I expect a nasty reply back from the management as it seems all those that have given a poor review are bad customers.No such thing in this industry as customer being wrong,advice to management,take on board these criticisms they could help you out.Would never come here again!!!! Enter at own peril!!!!

Visited here for a quick snack whilst in Town. Had an awful long wait for food (1/2 hour!!) We did enquire but received awful attitude! Finally food arrived & it was tasty & freshly made but unfortunately whilst sat outside the chef came out for a cigarette then once finished went straight back in to prepare more food without washing his hands!!!! The place was badly organised & outside the tables weren't cleared allowing an influx of seagulls

All-day breakfast for £3.99 tempted us in for a late one at 1200. Run by Northerners. Decent fry up, large portion and decent food. Most outside tables in shade due to canopy they've put up. Liked it, happy overall.

Went in for some lunch, there were 8 of us, we sat a table of three, a table of 2, and a table of 4, leaving one spare seat where I put my sons buggy as there was no where else to put it without blocking the exit or kitchen. The women came down whilst some were ordering moaning as to why there was my daughter sat on a table of 4 (the others were ordering)as a family of 5 had came in. She was rude, ignorant and just plain not very nice. There were three tables with just one person per table she did not saying a thing to them. she bossed around this poor lad who was running round fetching and carrying for her doing a brilliant job, whilst the other 2 male staff worked hard cooking. Its a shame the women was there as without her it would be a much nicer place. We spent over £50 in that cafe and stayed around half hour as she was so rude! This was the only bad point of our visit to Torquay. Please avoid, for the price you'd expect to be treated with respect.RUDE RUDE RUDE.....

Called in for lunchtime snack. Very good food and comfortable eating but a little dis-organised and a long wait for the order. I would use it it again. A very wide choice of ice cream takeaways and drinks.

this place is well worth a visit, the breakfast is freshly cooked, with good quality ingredients, the coffee was piping hot and the owner was very friendly ad kept you informed as to how long your breakfast would be. All round this is a place which I would definately be going back to, the next time in Torquay.

We came here just for a drink. My partner suggested we have some cake and we both settled on this lovely gluten free cappuccino sponge cake. I have gluten intolerance and swallowing difficulties so this cake was perfect as it had no gluten in it and was moist and sweet. Staff were lovely and made you feel welcome. 10/10.

With recent reviews that even top restaurants are buying in ready made food, it was wonderful to see that all food was freshly made and cooked in front of us. Even the chips were freshly made. Exellent food just could not fault it <3<3

The owner was lovely and friendly and made a fuss of our dog. We had the American burger which was homemade and delicious. Would definitely recommend it.

Looking for a bite to eat in Torquay we stopped at this cafe because the menu looked decent. The cafe is only small but the staff were very pleasant and helpful.The food was well cooked and was tasty but portion size wasn't what I expected( was a bit on the small side)the price was mid ranged so not cheap.not really a good place for a large family to sit in and eat.

Ahem. I ordered a pizza from this establishment. I had selected the gluten free spicy goat - I made some substitutes i.e. I removed the red onions and the goats cheese and replaced them with chicken and pepperoni. When the pizza arrived I consumed it. I consumed it good. After a peaceful nights sleep - I am annoying all of my colleagues with stories of how uncomfortable I feel. I have frequented the facilities numerous times. I suspected that I had indeed been sent a pizza that was not gluten free. I called the establishment and confirmed the shape of gluten free pizza's. I was informed that gluten free pizza's are rectangular in shape - what I was sent was round shaped. If you're gluten intolerant - avoid.

Food okay but over priced and just okay. Hot drink wasn’t great. Staff are one extreme to another, either great or rude. Doesn’t accept cash!
