Chandlers Coffee Shop Bistro in Torbay

Recommended to go here by staff at our holiday park. The Chandlers cream tea is excellent. At only £13.50 you get a whole sandwich, slice of cake, scone with jam and a huge pot of clotted cream plus hot drink. We left there very full and satisfied. Give it a visit you won't be disappointed

A wonderful cafe, great food, lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff. So good we went twice during our 4 day holiday in Paignton! We had sandwiches, soup, kids pizza and they were well fantastic. Really, really high quality, absolutely delicious, faultless! Coffee and hot chocolates also perfect. I am allergic to gluten and had great choice - yummy Brie and bacon tostie. And the best freshly baked gluten free cream tea I have ever had. Ever! I am getting hungry just thinking back and writing this review!!

We wanted a traditional cream tea while in Devon and Chandlers Cafe met our needs perfectly. The cream tea was nicely presented and tasted delicious, and was served with pots of good tea by friendly staff. Thank you!

Lovely food. We stopped in for breakfast with 2 children. Super friendly staff. Great price. Would definitely come again.

The staff were rude upon entering and it was such a long wait. All I wanted was a late and left with nothing but dissatisfaction.

I went there with some friends to celebrate a birthday. We had their afternoon tea. What a spread; hot drink, sandwich, scones and a cake. Very satisfying, great service and friendly. I recommend them highly. Will go again. Well done all staff.

Lovely food and reasonably priced. The service was excellent. Really friendly and helpful staff. Great cafe and Brownies were great and I have tried A LOT! Great place, we will definitely be back. Thank you 😊

Visited this café on a Saturday lunch time, both my wife and I were pleasently surprised by the friendly staff and the quality of the food and the service was outstanding. Will definitely be coming back !!

Service was good and the atmosphere is warm. The English Breakfast was good but the tomato could use a little longer on roasting, otherwise nice place to dine in.

First time of visiting with my friend today and found the food excellent! Warm and friendly staff ! Will definatly return !

Fantastic find, lovely staff, good decor and not as packed in as other establishments locally. We had a hot chocolate, a mocha and two slices of millionaires shortbread. Absolutely delicious and the drinks came with homemade shortbread. Will definitely eat there next time we visit

Came here New Year’s Day the food and drinks was nice, and the staff were friendly we will back down soon

Lovely Brunch in a friendly place 👌

What a find! This is the most amazing little find. The brunch was outstanding and only beaten by such pleasant and cheerful staff! A wide and varied menu but the breakfast was our choice and a clean plate said it all. Cooked to perfection, generous portions and delicious. The range of beverages on offer was amazing. A menu to suit everyone. This local cafe deserves to receive all the praise it gets. I independent retail at its very best. Clean and tidy and so friendly and welcoming. We were blown away. Worth the trip from Birmingham and cannot wait to return. Thank you all.

Fabulous cafe. Great friendly staff

Food was lovely and the worker who served us was friendly and welcoming! I couldn't recommend it enough.

Had a delightful cream tea and French onion soup here on a cold November’s day, and will definitely recommend anyone to pop in for a bite to eat or hot drink

Great place to visit for lunch. Good food and friendly staff.

Very good food and friendly staff.

Lovely breakfast excellent service delicious hot drinks and decor was colourful and inviting

I have been to Chandler's a few times now and every time me and the family have enjoyed it. Great staff, clean, delicious food, good choice and good prices, what else can I ask for?! Very happy to recommend, deserves it! Keep up the excellent work. Will be back soon!

Looking for somewhere to have cream tea and we came across Chandlers, we ordered and were asked if we wanted fruit or plain scones and given a choice of either strawberry, raspberry or blackcurrant jam and you could have either tea or coffee, when it came out the scones were lovely and warm and a very generous size have to say one of the nicest cream teas i've had.

Great place to have breakfast. Varied menu excellent food and service, recommended.

Für mich ordentliches English Breakfast. Das Lokal ist vernünftig renoviert. Meine Frau hat sich aber bei mir beschwert, dass Knochenstückchen in ihrer Wurst waren. Sie fand es insgesamt pappig. Service gut und flott. Kuchenauswahl. Kostenloses WLAN (ohne E-Mail - Anmeldung ! ), ordentliche Toiletten. Für Paignton - Zentrum (Torbay Road) überdurchschnittlich.

In town doing a bit of shopping and waiting for my husband. Decided to pop in and have a cup of tea, then tempted by the cake selection. Lovely staff, al food being served looked excellent. Will definitely be going again. Give it a try and see for yourselves.

Nice breakfast, only criticism is could supply Heinz & HP sauces, everything quality apart from sauces.

A lovely non greasy breakfast Nice atmosphere and good service. Definitely come back again.

Very nice food, 1st class staff, lovely atmosphere.

Food was delicious and cakes were amazing. Thank you Will visit again

We shall be coming back again. Brilliant food , great service and excellent staff. Thank you

A great find on the high street of Paignton. Warm welcome and delicious scone! What a treat, would definitely recommend!

I came here with my family is such a nice place to come and eat and all the staff are so friendly and helpful will be back down for new year

We always go back to chandlers on the day we Devon to get their breakfast and we get sandwiches for the journey, they are so friendly and the eggs benedict is fantastic, I get mine with avocado and it never disappoints, their bacon, brie and cranberry sandwich is the best I've had.

Excellent Afternoon Tea. Sandwiches delicious as were the scones and cake. All very fresh. Staff very friendly. Would definitely recommend.

We came here for the first today and the food was lovely! I would highly recommend! I had eggs Royale and my partner had the small cooked breakfast. The best bit though was the homemade shortbread biscuit that came with our hot drinks! They were the best biscuits I've ever had in my life!

Lovely cafe - great cake - friendly service - loved inside and well worth a visit - this little cafe does great food and we’d definitely return if we come to Paignton again

Very Rude , Racist and unkind staff !! Irony is that the cafe takes a pride in that. Instead of teaching their respective staff member about being polite or kind to customers they try to justify the rude behaviour . Hope some sense prevails and...

We came here last week and had breakfast it was that good we came back again! Good quality ingredients, chef knows how to cook her eggs! Owner was very polite. All the best for the future 😊

We had a couple of big breakfasts here at around 7.50 each although tea/coffee not included. The food was high quality and the service very friendly. Extra effort put into the presentation which was pleasant. Cakes looked amazing too

We visited Chandlers as a family for lunch. The service is fantastic! Food was SO lovely and fresh. It was that good we decided to revisit the following day for afternoon tea. What a treat that was, beautiful warm freshly baked scones. Thank you Chandlers...

Very fresh food, good quality and amazing value for money and super friendly staff. Just a shame it’s a 2.5 hour drive away.

My wife and I had a lovely breakfast here. The service was great, polite and cheerful. The food was very nice, I had a mega breakfast and I thought the price was very reasonable! It was under £5 where other places around England would have no problem charging so much more! Thank you Chandler’s for being very reasonably priced and also brilliant service and lovely food!

We were recommended this cafe, great friendly staff, nothing too much trouble, best value for breakfast and this current climate, they are very COVID aware and make sure everyone is seated carefully. Would I go back you betcha

We pre booked a table as it was advised by a staff member as it can get busy. The food was delicious and well presented. Glad we did book as it did get busy shortly we came in.

roast beef great both night. very good menu situated in main tourist street covid friendly breakfast,dinner.tea.couldent ask for me

We visited this cute, quirky coffee shop today and we all had a lovely lunch. I was most impressed with the roasted vegetable lasagne. Staff friendly and lovely atmosphere. Thank you

Before we caught the steam train to Dartmouth we had a brilliant full english to keep us going. Full covid compliance, distanced tables and plenty of hand sanitiser. The food was well done - as we had requested - and was tasty and filling.The service was attentive without being cloying. Would go back next time we're in Paignton.
