Only stopped for a coffee. Fantastic selection of coffee, lovely cakes and treats to eat in and take-away. We sat in and had a superb filled panini with our coffee and took a selection of chocolates away. Call next day and had a cream tea ( absolutely lush ). Staff super friendly and very helpful. Lovely experience all round, will be back when in area next.

We visit here most Sundays for a weekend treat. I love their unique coffee menu and the range of pastries, desserts and cakes on offer each week. They also make some lovely quiches and cheese scones which I love. The coconut island coffee and secret squirrel coffees are some of our favourite weekend treats. Great for sitting in or take away.

My husband and I popped in for a lunch special. We had a pannini and drink each for £5.75. this was excellent value for money. I had a mozerella, pesto and sun-dried tomato Pannini and my husband had a beef, mustard and red onion pannini. They were both delicious. The decor and atmosphere was great. We highly recommend

Do go here if you're after a fantastic cream tea. My generous helping of freshly made cream complemented my (pleasingly huge) scones very nicely. They, along with the jam, were washed down well with a steaming pot of tea. I was pleased that the quantities served were sufficient for each person in our party, unlike some places that cut back to save costs but ultimately backfire as they come off as stingy. The service was polite, pleasant and efficient, and the café itself had an inviting and homely atmosphere on a rainy summer's day in Devon. I have tried a few cream teas in the South West and must say you are among some of the better competitors. My only advice would be to consider serving homemade jam. You might just get that extra star in future reviews then... That aside, very well done and thank you!

Nipped into Tavistock for a wander and to buy holiday supplies. Promised the kids a cafe stop. Happened to park right outside this wonderful little cafe. Fantastic choice of delicious looking pastries, exotic teas and amazing coffees. I had delicious cherry and amaretto tea. Hubby had Secret Squirrel latte (which meant I had to drive back to campsite!) Kids struggled to choose from the delicious cakes and both had a hot chocolate and demanded to come back later in the week within seconds of being served.

Shop looked lovely and had range of very nice desserts. It was one of few places open so we grabbed a milkshake. Pretty disappointed as it was literally just milk and at £2.75 I could have made that myself with some cheap mix. Expected it to be thick and tasty due to Cornish ice cream they sell. Would go back to try a cake but milkshakes no.

As visitors to Tavistock we asked a lady selling hats in the Pannier Market where we could go for a nice coffee and cake and she recommended Coffee and Cream. We weren't disappointed. The coffee was very good, as were the custard slice and apple pie with ice cream. Very nice for a mid morning coffee break.

Ducked into Coffee and Cream to escape the weather and found a cute little café which is obviously quite popular with the locals as it was very busy. We shared a Gingerbread latte and it was quite good, I found it a little sweet but the sweet-tooth of the group found it wonderful! The food here looked quite good also although we didn’t have any.

It depends what you are looking for, but I love this place it's old fashioned and quirky with little tablecloths and doillies on the half dozen or so tables in the back of the shop and often there is jazz music playing in the background. It's a great place for a coffee on a sunday morning, they have a fantastic coffee machine and the staff are always friendly and smiley. Their drink and panini deal is very good value too.

If you want to sit in a cafe and be ignored, this is the place to go.My husband and I sat patiently at a table waiting to be served. The lady serving at the counter didn’t acknowledge us, she was very busy, so the benefit of doubt given here! However, the other lady member of staff managed to clear away the table opposite us, and walk past us on two occasions without even asking if she could help us or if we were being helped already!Poor service, shame - seemed nice, will never know now.We went next door to the Oggy Oggy Pasty shop, service was fab as was the pasty.

Stopped here for a bit after looking around the shops. 8 of us so difficult to get tables together. Only one member of staff who seemed very rushed off her feet, having to sort out those eating in, those taking away, ice cream and dishes, felt very sorry for her. Food was delicious but slow service as there was just the one member of staff. Inside was quite dark too, and it appeared to be a bit of a too quiet place for a large group of us to be in.

Maybe we were unlucky, it seemed to be the only place open on Sunday morning, but it took over 20 minutes for 2 cappuccinos to arrive. They were good when they did arrive, as were the 2 macaroons. The rest of the patisserie looked worth exploring too. Comfy seating area.

Coffee and pastries were very good. Scones were freshly made and quite large. Service was also timely and friendly. The only complaint I have really is that they do not even attempt to hide that they don't use their own clotted cream. It was served in a package that I bought from the supermarket later in the afternoon. That was disappointing!

We came by this morning looking out for somewhere pleasant for a pit stop well before lunchtime. The door was open, the awning out but looking very weathered. No one sitting in any of the visible seats, some one standing indifferently behind the counter and both the front trays in the window and this inside the shop all looking barely a third stocked of worse. (Maybe a customer had just been in to cater for a large celebratory tea ot drinks session?). It just all looked a bit sad and uninviting - which was a pity.

They do a good selection of teas here and nice quality coffee. The surroundings are comfortable and quite sophisticated. The slice of cake was very nice quality. For a tea, small coffee and 1 slice of cake was just over £8 so pricey. Also the advertise a flat white but what was served was just a nice white coffee. It would be great to have waitresses as we sat for a while before we realised we had to order at the counter.

Probably the best tasting coffee in Tavistock plus yummy cakes and pastries, a super lunch deal of a panini or quiche with tortilla chips and coleslaw plus a small drink for £5.25...bargain! Add staff who are not adverse to friendly banter at times, brilliant service, unobtrusive background music and nice seating.Only problem I can find is that understandably it is getting so popular that we can't always get a seat, so on a couple of occasions we have either had to wait or go elsewhere for less good coffee.

We ordered two decaffeinated coffee's and a strawberry tart to share, we seated ourselves in the corner at a table with a lace type table cloth and we did not have to wait long for our order to be served.We felt the atmosphere was delightful, clean and warm, I noticed that the vacated tables were cleared very quickly before the next customers came along therefore a welcome break from the corporate chain coffee shops.We enjoyed our little pit stop and was also given a frequent visitor card to be stamped on next visits to earn a free drink etc. Regards Jeff & Tracy...

We came here today from Plymouth just to try it out, as we've been past several times in the past but never went in. What can I say other than how stupid I've been! We had cream tea, the scones were to die for. They came out with two on the plate with fresh cream and jam. I've had many scones in the past but I would say that these are among the best I've ever had. Light but fruity and crumbly, with a slight crunch to the out casing. Totally tasty. You should come and true them you won't be disappointed. The cafe also sells beautifully made cakes and chocolates, again amazing. All in all, a wonder place, wonderful staff with a great price.

As I have limited mobility my daughter went up to the counter and asked if she could bring the one and only menu to the table and sat back with me.

Decided to have tea and cake but there were hardly any cakes to select from. The very miserable girl serving us failed to inform us that loads more would be coming out in a few minutes (she clearly wanted us to choose from the very poor options). The cakes we had were not good and within seconds of us starting them, lots of new things came out from the back. Very disappointed. The crockery could be better too in order to fit in with the ambiance they are trying to go for.

I'd requested any of the chocolate cakes that were suitable for vegetarians -they weren't automatically sure, so said they'd find out, but completely forgot so I had nothing!When I went to rectify it, the 'senior' member of staff was pretty abrupt saying if I wanted her to look on the boxes out the back (obviously cakes are bought in then!) it would take her 10 minutes!I accepted my fate not wanting to trouble her and waited whilst the family had theirs.

Very helpful staff, excellent leaf tea and tasty pastries brought to the table together with a small card holder with the wifi password. Easy going but genteel feel.

This was a huge disappointment! The staff were far from welcoming to myself and my family. Perhaps maybe because we had a young child with us, we felt we were being very stereotyped. The staff Completely ignored us when we asked for a high chair & even when making it blatantly apparent we were looking for one both members of staff turned a blind eye. The atmosphere was very tense, a couple that came in behind us agreed with how 'off' the staff were, the lady who was serving the customers made it clear she was to busy! What was meant to be a nice 30mins sipping hot drinks and eating cake to keep out the rain, turned into us asking for take away cups so we could leave! Not even one of them could crack a smile! Definitely wouldn't recommend if you fancied a nice warm happy place too visit. Unless your as miserable as the staff, then it's right up your street!!

My friend and I found this place by chance - we wanted something for lunch but as it was after 2pm many other places had stopped serving or sold out of their lunchtime specials. The lady serving could not have been more friendly or helpful, and we had a super lunch of savoury quiches (difficult to choose from the seven options on offer, but I went for beef and leek in the end - yum) served with tortilla chips and really creamy coleslaw. As the place is a patisserie it seemed rude not to partake and I can recommend the citrus mousse!The exterior doesn't do justice to the place; the eating area at the back is quiet and charming. I'm really glad that we ventured into 'Coffee and Cream' and would happily recommend it to others.

Arrived out of the rain for a warm hot chocolate and scone. Similar to other reviewers, I was ignored and then finally the waitress, with no apology for why I had to wait, no greeting to smile, just a look of "What do you want?". I ordered a hot chocolate. "A dark one?" I was asked. "Which ever is the normal one. Milk?" I said. "Dark is the normal" I was corrected, as if everyone knows this. Got a similar response when asking about the scones. "Fruit" was the full extent of their contents.Very little eye contact given.Sat down and was served a lovely hot choc with marshmallows. Was about to dig in when I scooped some up only to find that it was completely off- rotten!I approached the counter and quietly and embarrassedly told them. "I'm not sure if its just me, but I think the milk may be off in the hot chocolate"With no eye contact, It was taken off rather hastily me and I was told I would be brought one with no cream. No apology and a big sigh- it was made to be my fault.I was brought a new drink which tasted less than average as hot chocs go. I was later asked with no eye contact again, "How's that one?" as the waitress busied by without stopping to another table- she couldn't have cared less whether it was any better. I was then told "The unsweetened cream doesn't agree with some people"- i.e. it was my fault that I didn't like off cream.The cream was not unsweetened, it was off.The replacement hot choc was not nice and the scone was average- which could be forgiven if the waitresses were nice.Wouldn't go back.

We came across this place by chance and had just eaten but everything looked so delicious so we were tempted in. I opted for some baklava to take away. It was absolutely delicious, fresh and delicately sweet. We shall be back.

We went there for coffee and cake in the afternoon. The hot and cold drinks were really good, they have a wide range of desserts. The cakes we had were good but not extraordinary but the atmosphere of the place is lovely.

This cafe is wonderful. Small tables, friendly staff, delicious cakes, especially the baklava. It is quite dim and you would need to sit by a table lamp if you wanted to read the newspaper, but the atmosphere is old-fashioned and delightful.

It is not obvious from the front of the shop that there are several tables tucked away at the back. Nice assistant but almost put off going and ordering by the number of uncleared tables - think she could do with some more help. The coffee really was very good and reasonably priced : the hot chocolate comes in several versions and is smooth and rich. Really would advise the smaller size and without the additional cream !

We dropped in here during the half-term break - ten of us! We all had coffees/drinks and paninis, all of which came together and tasted good. The interior is very comfortable - pastel colours, soft lighting and very comfortable chairs. Well worth a visit.

Dropped in here on a Sunday morning. The café was not full and we placed our order and took a seat. One hot chocolate arrived but they couldn't serve the other as they had run out of latte mugs! The young server was doing his best but let down by other staff. The hot chocolate when it came was OK but nothing special and not good value for money. Two hot chocolates & two pieces of cake cost over £11!We won't be back.

Happened to be visiting Tavistock the other day and got tempted by the lovely window display. We bought a few biscuits to eat right then, and on asking the person at hand would they run out of things before Christmas, we were told that yes they would. So foolishly enough we bought quite a few of the very nice looking biscuit packs as gifts for family and friends. As I handed my card over, a little voice in my head was pointing out I should have tasted my take away biscuits before proceeding to Christmas shopping... Anyway, to cut a long story short, the biscuits are as dry as the person who served us... And that's no mean feat. They made me crave a good old pack of digestives. Can't vow for the food and drinks as I didn't sit down... But then, quite frankly, I'm glad I didn't. AVOID!!

We have visited several times recently for their lunchtime special which we consider to be great value and the coffee is excellent, sometimes service is a bit slow but with comfortable seating and low volume background music is acceptable.Like other visitors I feel that staffing levels do need sorting, last Sunday we went for a coffee, unfortunately I was left standing at the counter without any acknowledgement of my presence for far too long, there were 2 young people on duty and I think their inexperience showed, a simple "be with you in a moment" or even a hallo might have made it OK but I felt distinctly uncomfortable and ignored, I hope the owners read this and act on it because should it happen again I for one will think about going elsewhere, even though they probably have the best coffee in Tavistock - I like to feel like a valued customer and it is not as though there are few alternatives in town.

I often come here as it's peaceful for a coffee and cake. One of the best patisserie's I have ever been in. It has a lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food and drink. It isn't cheap but definitely worth the money! Better than the Costa down the road by far.

I visited on Wednesday. There was a it of a rush for some reason, so I knew I had to wait patiently. However, I gave my order and again, waited patiently. The coffee and cake when it came, were excellent. The competent and cheery young lady behind the counter was great, but she did need some support! There were quite a few people coming in and waiting a long time. I get the feeling they swop the staff with Crebers as and when, as it's owned by the same people. However, the little cafe is lovely and cosy inside and a least the staff make contact and apologise if you're being kept waiting. They seem to need to get their staff numbers sorted out. But it was a lovely cafe and I would certainly visit it again.

We visited this nice little patisserie for a snack lunch as a change from pasties and other filling fayre. For £4.95 each we could choose from an individual quiche or a ciabatta roll (choice of fillings) accompanied by homemade coleslaw and crisps. This price also included a large jug of tea, served unusually in a cafetiere. The food and service was very good - it was served with just the right speed and friendliness and the small cafe area was full for most of the time we were there. This is only called a patisserie, so doesn't serve a huge choice of things for lunch. The cakes etc looked very good, as did the boxes of goodies for sale ( perhaps next time we will buy some to try!). It was a very nice experience and will definitely return to this cafe next time we are in Tavistock.

Cakes and coffee were very good, service was attentive, if a little slow. I put it down to the place being quite new and the management finding their feet. Don't think it was the expensive, but certainly wasn't cheap. Would return.

Lovely little coffee shop and patisserie on the high street in Tavistock. Great selection of cakes and chocolates and also quirky gifts to take away. Service was good and pricing reasonable for the quality on offer.

I go here regularly when visiting Tavistock. It has a genteel atmosphere and the cakes and coffee are very tasty . It reminds me of a patisserie I go to in the French Alps. Service is good - occasionally slow.

have been twice now and the coffee is good, cakes look great as are the prices of them but on par with the look of a good French patisserie, their lunch options although a bit limited look good so we will have to try.Possibly the best flavour coffee in Tavi!

Although this is a relatively new business compared to other established cafés in Tavistock, it has a good reputation for good coffee, and the cakes are scrummy. They also sell lovely biscuits that I've given to friends and family as gifts. The staff although a little stretched at times are always polite and helpful too. Recommended

Has a nice window with tempting pastries, chocolates and biscuits but can be pricey. Service can be slow and confusing, table service or order and pay ? We were told to take a seat, but then after a wait had to ask if we paid first or were served at the table.Inside the surroundings are a strange mix of styles, but overall the food and coffee were reasonable.

This doesn't look much from the outside but inside it's got great decor, amazing service, chocolate and cakes to die for, great sandwiches all for incredible prices. I took my family there and now can't get them out!

The food and coffee here is a delight and the staff are pleasant whilst somewhat unfocussed! We visited and our excellent coffee came fairly quickly but they then seemed to find it impossible to scoop two pastries out of the window. Still the quality of the food excuses all.
