Cafe Roma in Plymouth

A lovely fresh cup of coffee to start your day in a good location. close to town with plenty of seating and friendly staff.

Always a pleasure to grab a coffee here.

Stop in every morning on my bike with my missus at 7am before work. No better way to start the day. All the usual suspects every morning from Lawyers to plumbers. All setting the world to rights.

A great little coffee and cake hub. Just a small distance from the main centre. Coffee and cake were fantastic. The service was great. Well, it's worth a visit for the coffee and just to relax and watch the world go by.

The best coffee on Plymouth. Always super friendly too.

Friendly and very helpful staff! Definitely be back again!!

Been here many times, they do a great hot chocolate

Great coffee, friendly staff all in a handy location for the city centre. Worth coming here to escape the usual chains and to support a local business. Has outside seating for the days when it's not raining.

Great cafe. Good place to observe and meet people or even read... especially when the weather is good. Friendly. Do food too.

Awsome spot for coffee, staff are always very friendly and make great coffee. Especially the red haired lassy who wears glasses. Excellent customer service!

Normally the hot chocolate is lovely but today it was the worst ive ever had,just tasted like hot sweet milk.

First cup of coffee at noon. Worth the wait, enjoying it in the sun.

We've picked up before for a drink and cake. Cake was lovely and fresh and the hot chocolate is fantastic not that horrible sweet sugary stuff but made with proper chocolate. Lovely fully recommended xx

Great service, simply the best coffee outside of Sydney!! Greg

Always good coffee and good service

Lovely place for food drink just take a seat relax and watch the world go by

Excellent coffee and nice seating outside especially when weather nice

Good prices for great coffee and baked goods!

Great place to sit and have coffee, great friendly staff, in great surroundings.

Lovely coffee & location Ideal seating outside in the sunshine!

Excellent service and staff friendly

Must have caught them on an off day - the coffee was disgusting

As a quick stop for a coffee and snack it's ideal. Staff always friendly.

A hidden gem for coffee here. Don’t be irritated by the name and the look ;) Local Family roastery, good nice barista. I got a Colombia bean. Seems a lighter roast but still dark enough for the english soul ;)

Great coffee and cake as always

Lovely coffee. Reasonably priced good quality sandwiches. Comfortable seating.

The best coffee in Devon by a country mile and croissants to die for.

Nice little cafe right next to the dragon fly statue. You can come here and relax with the surrounding trees wether you're just visiting Plymouth or you pass by everyday. Didn't have the best experience because of the rain but you can hide underneath trees if it's too much of a problem.

Now called Bonnie's, fantastic cakes, breakfast etc, drinks all reasonably priced, family run , lovely atmosphere worth a visit

Great coffee, lovely location, friendly and efficient service. Open all year and I visit frequently as a Plymouth local.

Favorite spot. Great coffee in a marina side spot- ideal.

Good coffee, & a great outdoor location away from the shoppers, It's just enhanced when the sun really shines, plus on certain Sunday The Plymouth Model Boat Club use the adjacent ponds.

an absolute gem of a place, just off the hubbub of plymouth main street. this place is well worth a try!!!!! the staff are always friendly and polite, very knowledgable of all their products. it is clean , social distaning is paramount, everything is labelled politely(asking not to move tables or chairs for the covid 19 reason) the coffee is hot and the cakes which we tried were fresh and delightful. i truly recommend this place as a go to place for a little peace and quiet, whilst watching the world go by. a little piece of heaven in devon. LOve it!!!!!!!!!

Staff are always friendly and helpful. Good quality food and drink, prices are reasonable and there is plenty of seating. It can get rather busy so there is a wait sometimes.

Great coffee and hot chocolate but for the price my friend's coffee was rather small. My Belgian chocolate hot chocolate with non dairy milk was possibly the best I've ever had but more generous cups would make it more perfect. Sad the council pond has been drained as was lovely to look at whilst seated. Rather grim view now.

Bought the meal deal here. The sandwiches are doorstep size with lots of filling. Can recommend the amazing white chocolate and raspberry flapjack!

It's really nice,sandwiches I think the best in Plymouth,x thank u Cafe Roma.

Situated in the city centre of Plymouth Cafe Roma . Good coffee pleasant location .snacks available check it out opposite the Guildhall.

Nice coffee and a lovely selection of sweet treats

Great coffee as usual. And very helpful staff.

Great coffee. Cakes and pastries were fresh.Goid prices.

De vez en cuando me gusta sentarme en Caf Roma a tomar un café y disfrutar de la vista. Hoy me sorprendió el servicio grosero, no solo mientras ordenaba mi bebida, sino también cuando me iba y cortésmente pregunté dónde está el contenedor para tirar mi botella. Pues en el local no existe tal cosa y con un tono muy desagradable te informan que no pueden tomar tu basura. Me quedo sin palabras.

Without doubt the best coffee in town. It’s the only place I don’t ask for sugar as the coffee doesn’t need it.

Outdoor coffee in the middle of Plymouth nothing better.

Great coffee and brownies but best of all....superb staff 😊

Really nice coffee and reasonably priced.

A good independent coffee shop. Depending on the weather, always worth a visit. Good coffee, artisan extras, from decent staff. It has changed hands since I wrote this.

A good coffee. Even when busy not too long a wait. Freindly staff

Good coffee and friendly staff. A good place for a break

El servicio al cliente siempre es bueno y puedo decir lo mismo para el café. Un buen equipo de personas detrás del mostrador, que hacen que la experiencia sea más agradable. Roma es siempre un gran lugar para un café bien hecho. Estas fotos fueron tomadas temprano en la mañana, así que no reflejes lo ocupado que se pone.

Great place to have a coffee great patron.

Tea and cake on a sunny afternoon, what else do you need?😎

Visité en un día soleado y fue genial poder sentarse y observar a la gente. El servicio al cliente fue bueno y puedo decir lo mismo para el café. Un buen equipo de personas detrás del mostrador, que hacen que la experiencia sea más agradable.

Fui ayer a tomar un café y sabía muy bien y tenía el servicio para acompañarlo. Realmente bueno ver a algunos nuevos miembros del personal de Roma que se enorgullecen de hacer café. Pruébalos y disfruta viendo a la gente al mismo tiempo.

Cafe Roma is a really lovely, small coffee hut that makes delicious, reasonable coffee. You really feel like they understand what they're serving.

I don't visit the cafe every day but I am a regular and have never had a bad coffee from them and it's always nice to sit outside having a little lunch.

A nice little stop before I carried on with my cycle ride...

Had a hot chocolate at one of their other places by the waterfront near mount wise in Plymouth. Was the best hot chocolate I have ever had!

The coffee was ok but I have to say the young blonde tattooed girl who served was the rudest I have ever had to deal with! I have been thinking wether or not to post this reviews but with staff like that who argue and snap at customers requests people need to avoid!

Do the most delicious sandwiches and coffee

Never used before. The coffee that I had was one of the best I have had for a long time. I would visit again.

Top cafe, great coffee, grumpy owner 😝

A nice place to sit out with a coffee/drink in the summer

Went for a coffee today and really disappointed by the service from the young blond female staff member behind the counter whose manner was not really the service I would normally expect from Roma and the coffee was terrible which I really don’t like to say. The extraction of coffee took only 19 seconds and the milk was boiling hot. Making the whole experience not pleasant at all. I actually left the coffee as I couldn’t drink it. Hate really leaving bad feedback for Roma as I like the place and the staff that use to work behind the counter.

Best independent coffee shop in the city

per quanto posso chiamarsi roma, non illudetevi, il caffe' non e' l'espresso italiano , rimane comunque un buon caffe' per gli standard inglesi

I enjoy this café, particularly in the summer months. However it's worth venturing out in the cold to visit Café Roma. Offering a palatable house coffee and a seasonal single origin, served by knowalagble and friendly staff, Roma is a must visit.

Pleasant café in good weather. 'Outdoor' seating only. If required, toilets are available in the Guildhall.

Excellent smoked salmon sandwich - excellent flavoured salmon and good coffee - came here after nearby cafe on other side of the Slug and Lettuce completely ignored the three of us when we came in and sat down

Love this place good staff and lovely views grate coffee as well

Roma is one of the earliest independent proper coffee shops in Plymouth and although it's outside seating it's a great place to seat and watch the world go by on a nice dry day. My only concern is lately although the product I.e the bean is great, the end product the coffee is hit or miss depending on who is making it. Now when you are spending £2.50 roughly on a coffee, you want it to be good. New staff members are in place and learning the craft of coffee making, but the customer still wants a good coffee at the end of the day. Having said all of the above, it's a great place to go as the staff are friendly and John the owner does make a cracking coffee when he's working the shift.

Very friendly staff and good quality coffee. Only outdoor seating available.

Someone has tinkered with the address details at the top of this listing. There is another branch of this business by the ponds in Armada Way which has its own TripAdvisor listing. The businesses are I believe linked. But the thread here is about the useful friendly coffee biased drinks and food unit beside the council open air baths overlooking the Royal William Yard, the Hamoaze and Cremyl and Mount Edgecumbe. It is well run, good value and busy again during the warmer weather.

Lived in Plymouth for years so why haven't I discovered this place before? Often sat outside in the sun drinking coffee and watching people walk by but this time we had a toasted sandwich which arrived in a box and full of lovely fresh salad tossed in a lovely sweet dressing .... the sandwich was made with herby bread and was so full that it was oozing out. It was yum yum yum ... really cheap too ..... it's gonna be my 'go to' cafe of choice now .... recommend it to all ... is that the wrong thing to do now I wonder? Will it be packed next time ? Hmmm???

Lovely little find amazing coffee really nice and clean would highly recommend it nice just to sit and watch the world go by

Wow amazing place cattedown cafe, service was outstanding coffee and cake mouth watering, staff pleasant welcoming and outstanding excellent customer services. Like to say a massive thank you to Gill and Tris for making my visit a great experience.

stopped for a great coffee, very tasty, was told about different types available, and tasted wonderfull, had a toasted devon ham local cheese, with salad, sitting outside enjoying the sun, excellent service.

Great coffee very good small bites fair prices and a great place to sit when the suns out ,the seagulls can be fun at times.

Really nice people and great coffee :)

Cafe Roma Mutton Cove, they serve a Latte to die for (neat pattern on top) with very friendly efficient staff, multiple hot & cold snacks. To sit & watch the world go by with river traffic passing you by including visiting warships an occasional submarine just to add variety. Plymouths number 1 "chill out" spot with unparalleled views of Mount Wise & surrounds in a peaceful atmosphere

Si te gusta el café es imprescindible, te puedes sentar fuera del tiempo es bueno. Si lo prefiere, se lo puede quitar. Los sándwiches son siempre recién hechas y son abundantes. Todo en el café es bien vale la pena el dinero, por lo que definitivamente vale la pena una visita!

Así decepcionó: siempre solía venir aquí con mi madre hace años, entonces, más recientemente en los descansos para el almuerzo... Ha sido un tiempo, pero quería hacer de mi hija y tomar el almuerzo en nuestro camino para encontrarse con sus amigos. Siempre he pedido a mi hija un medio sándwich, etc. cuando vamos como ella nunca come todo un uno y estoy siempre demasiada hambre para compartir.. También come carne y que tienden a evitar. Ella quería tocino así que pedí media baguette, que es lo que quería... Esto no fue posible ya que no pasa por la caja y se puede ver que esto podría ser difícil, así que cambiamos a la mitad un sándwich pero dijeron que estaría pagando el precio completo para que alguien desconchada en con" hay una pain au raisin" sonaba muy sarcástico y no apreciar el comentario. Tal vez usted podría pensar en hacer un mini menú y ajustar sus cajas.

Este es un gran lugar para tomar un excelente café. los bocadillos también tienen una buena relación calidad-precio. Deliciosos bocadillos y tartas enorme. El personal es amable y los asientos al aire libre es un buen lugar para ver pasar el mundo. Busque las gaviotas codiciosos. Tratarán de arrebatarle su comida!

Excelente personal y el mejor café. He comido un sándwich aquí en ocasiones y la comida siempre ha sido muy sabroso y llega rápidamente.

I drink coffee all round the UK, from chains and independents and this is by far the best I have tasted. They were friendly, courteous and indulgent of an elderly customer up from the country for a day in the big city. Delicious coffee, a bacon bun with salad and the sounds of Plymouth will definitely bring me back again.

The best tasting coffee in Plymouth. Same friendly faces everyday, very chatty.Perfect place for when the sun is out!

Open air coffee, sandwiches and cakes right in the City Centre. Well frequented at lunchtime by staff from the law courts next door. Top quality coffee from the Devon Coffee Company.

Roma is the place to go to sit and relax and watch the world go by, depending on the weather as its outside seating only. The owner John is very passionate about his coffee and has the knowledge to back it up and he tries to pass this onto his staff. Since learning about Roma as a coffee stop a few years ago, johns old staff have moved on to spread what they have learnt from John. John has new staff on now serving coffee, and they are slowly learning the trade so bear with them. The food served is not expensive and the staff are friendly and talkative. So, still a great place to stop and watch the world go by.

Good little people-watching spot with plenty of seating. The 2 guys working the kiosk got a kick out of my American accent and were friendly. My latte was excellent. I cracked open a book and read for an hour or so before making the 10 minute or so walk up to the train station.

This cafe is very close to where i work The staff are very friendly; and knowledgable about coffee. My partner has a particular way that she likes her coffee made - no problems. The food menu is reasonably priced and varied - now including burgers! The morning and lunchtime queues probably tell you more about how good this cafe is than i can put into words.

Look out for the Coffee Roma kiosk at Mutton Cove, Plymouth. Great hot, really tasty coffee. Had it this morning whilst out walking in old haunts, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Great location and open all year round, and always busy in summer - but the local sea anglers know it well as it sits slap bang in the middle of a great fishing area for cod etc and what better warm up than brilliant coffee on a cold morning. Staff enjoyed their job of making the coffee too! Brilliant stop!!

These guys know how to make a perfect coffee, seriously good, fast & friendly service & good value too

Friendly, high quality, quick and very good value. They do a busy steady trade but they have enough staff so that much can be made to order and provided within a couple of minutes even at peak (usually lunch) times. Very popular and busy place. Good site next to ponds and good setting amongst government buildings.

Delightful fair weather snack and coffee place near the pools and admin offices/courts in armada Way. Good value meal deals, excellent coffee and good sensible range of fillings for baguettes and sandwiches quickly made to order. Ample tables. Bit of a sun trap. Just don't rely on having a late lunch. The kitchen closes about two thirty and then unless you eat cake you take pot luck on what few sandwiches might just be left in the fridge.

Like it. On Armada Way between guildhall Courts and Council offices. Neat little servery and plenty of tables. Very good coffee and tasty freshly prepared rolls sandwiches and cake. Recommended.

An easy simple but pleasant option for a good value reliable hot drink and snack away from the hassle of the town centre. Perhaps a surfeit of barristers and clients on weekdays but easily offset by the peaceful setting by the water and the municipal urban planning. Very friendly staff and often attractive meal deals.

The single photo captures this place so well, although the lack of leaves suggests it was taken a few months back. The staff here are friendly but the food is all fresh and I think a bit less pricey than most of the chain coffee and sandwich shops back on Royal Parade. There are plenty of tables and chairs. There is little close traffic and the water usually looks good. Nice when there are kids or old fogeys out with their model boats. The occasional fountains need attention but the all round feel is great.

Unusual tent style white outdoor snack hut beside the ponds in Guilhall Square between he Guildhall, Court House, Council House and tall 60s civic office block. They assemble their own excellent value sandwiches, baguettes etc and make excellent coffee but the rest of the pastries look bought in. Very efficient, quick and friendly. Used to come down here a bit when at the Uni. In those days it used to be mostly lawyers, crims and corporation staff but last week it seemed to be a lot of tourists. Whatever the customer base, in good weather it is good value food in a pleasant setting. Always something going on. While we were there, we saw a satellite TV van with two crews, one doing a piece outside the court and another interviewing a Plymouth Argyle man about a planning application to develop near the football ground.

I'm a regular and I choose this above all of the chain alternatives because of the friendly service, price & outstanding coffee. The location is lovely unless the weather is poor, well worth a visit!
