Clipper Cafe in Teignbridge

The perfect spot for breakfast, coffee, lunch or dinner when in Shaldon. Service is superb, food offering has good choice, well cooked, reasonably priced. Absolutely love stopping for a coffee and cake on the terrace area overlooking the river. Can’t wait to go back,

Returned after 7 years to find it just as good as before. The food was extremely good. The service was excellent and fun. Good value for money. The view over the harbour from the upstairs room was the icing on the cake.

Lovely food and drinks with a great view. Service was polite and welcoming, food for all diets. We really like the breakfast served until 4pm. Loved the spitz cocktail menu. I would definitely return. The price is fair in today’s climate.

Breakfast bap, bacon, like leather, huge sausage the should have been spilt in two rather than stuck on one side, it was tasteless anyway, egg was good! Bap £6.80 £3 for the two extra things. Total £13 with an americano. Not impressed. No mention on their menu or website of the additional cost for the extras, I don't mind paying for them but I think I should be informed before ordering.

A brilliant weekend with a BBQ in the outside seating area, the food was amazing as usual, the staff really got into the 80s theme, all dressed in bright colours. Lovely 80s music today, the sun shone and the atmosphere was great.

We called in for carrot cake , and jail ale The food and beer was perfect Lots of choice of cake Great location right in the front of the water Very busy but didn’t book and would recommend

Just had a most delicious Game Stew supper from the Clipper. Highly recommended. Thanks for looking after us during lockdown guys!

Love this beach side cafe, always love tea and cake, or even coffee and cake, so a little gem of a place, have not tried dinner as yet !

The food really was excellent. There are more expensive places to eat but I don’t think you can beat the food here. My daughter had the seafood pasta which was FULL of mussels and large prawns and everyone else’s food was really tasty and good quality too. The service is always good and welcoming. It wasn’t busy but even when it is- the service is great. I really admire whoever owns the Clipper. They could have gone for mediocre and it probably would have done well because of the demand and location- especially in summer- but they went for excellent.i think this means that tourists and locals alike live this place. Defiantly recommend !!!

We had pre booked a table upstairs with a window and a view over the river albeit an evening in February. Our waitress was welcoming, polite and helpful. The cafe was well lit, warm clean and comfortable although being mid week it was fairly quiet. My wife loves prawns and the staff were happy to vary their menu to accommodate her wishes. Our food was promptly served, well presented, well cooked and tasty. Our waitress was attentive but not overly so. We had a lovely evening and will definitely return. Parking outside is limited and the roads narrow so be prepared to use one of the nearby car parks a short walk away.

Another fantastic evening shared with a full restaurant of people. Lots of Italian themed music and dancing round the tables (by staff). The food was delicious as always. Thank you Kelly, Gino and staff for an evening of fun.

One of my clipper favourites but it seems they must use cheaper chocolate powder now since the last visit. Today it was not a nice taste and extremely watery and the half a dozen mini marshmallows buried under the cream. (even when I had asked for them to be separate on the side) but worst of all it was cold. Took it back but was told Hot chocolate is never normally that hot !!! I was not offered a remake, this is unusual as they are always very obliging and helpful to customers.Hopefully today was a blip. Will be back again next weekend for our usual cuppa after our Sunday walk.

What a treat.. A totally fabulous evening.. Delicious food, fine wine, awesome entertainment and superb hospitality. Thank you Kelly, Gino and their team.

The whole atmosphere is so lovely here. I think the staff were just so helpful and can be a hard thing to come by now. The food was great and there is a lovely view overlooking the water

Excellent Restaurant with great views across the River Teign. Great menu from coffee and cake to full meals. Licensed for drinks with a great outside patio for the warmer weather.

If we could give it 10 we would. Another fantastic evening with Kelly, Gino and the staff. The menu was full of carefully chosen delicious food selections. Although it was difficult to beat the steak!!!! As last year we failed miserably at the table quiz, but it kept us entertained and from drinking our cocktails too quickly. Than you so much for making the beginning of 2020 so memorable.

We were staying in a guest house along the road and stopped in here for a Sunday evening meal. The title of the restaurant is “cafe” but this is misleading. There is a cafe area downstairs and an excellent outdoor seating area overlooking the river but upstairs is where we had our meal. The view we had was overlooking the river and Teignmouth lights at the other side. Lovely unpretentious restaurant space, very friendly staff. I had breaded Brie followed by seafood chowder and we shared a sticky fig pudding with ice cream. Excellent food and we really enjoyed our evening there. This is more than a cafe!Good job, we will be back.

Ordered chips with main meal.....had to cancel them as my wife and I had finished our main before they came ....Chips were 3 pounds THEY HAD THE CHEEK to give us 1pound back instead of a full refund We were planning to eat there all week .....YOUR LOSS CLIPPER WE DON'T LIKE BING INSULTED ...we ate elsewhere ....great views, really really terrible customer relations .That 2 pounds cost you hundreds like I said your loss .

Booked a table for Saturday night, no problem. Arrived, seated and drinks ordered efficiently. Choice of food, no problem, catering for lactose and soya intolerance. Beer a little yeasty and lively. Great service from a great staff.

Went here following usual dog walk on Ness Cove; it was a cool day and we were both hungry. We arrived mid-afternoon and had no trouble finding space. The cafe was very clean and tidy and the staff were both welcoming and courteous; within a few minutes we ordered and our meals arrived at the table in timely fashion. The food was well presented and was cooked to perfection. Everything on the menu looked delicious but, as this was my actual birthday, I "pigged-out" and had haddock and chips. It was a lovely meal and I only just managed to do it justice. My wife has been here before but this was my first visit. It won't be my last! The cafe is in a wonderful location being right on the waterfront with a lovely view of Teignmouth directly opposite. There's no wonder it's so popular. Great food, great service and reasonable prices. We'll be back.

Great location overlooking the estuary. Welcomed the dogs as much as the wife and I. Best coffee we have had for some time

We had intended to have lunch at the local ub but found it closed for repairs.We found the Clipper,sat outside and had some very good food served by friendly helpful staff.The special of the day Pork burgers were excellent,not fatty with good flavour,onions,apple and great fries with a nice dressing on the salad.Others in the group had liver casserole,excellent,lentil burger,very good and super fish and chips.Desserts were very good and the coffees surpassed all your favourite chains comfortably.No wonder that the place was packed,with food of this quality at very reasonable prices.Even the local seagulls know a good thing and were very attentive giving us vocal reminders that they too were hungry!

Stunning place to sit with beautiful views. So many vegan and vegetarian options to choose from :) Cakes have HUGE potions and taste heavenly. We went with family and will definitely be returning again to sample more of their delicious menu! Atmosphere is relaxed and despite being incredibly busy (for good reason) the food was served promptly. Thank you for a lovely Sunday afternoon :)

we had a full english breakfast, fab, followed by excellent coffee. the cakes looked amazing. the outside area is right on the riverside. Highly recommend a visit

A return visit to Shaldon and two more opportunities to have dinner at the Clipper, telephoned and booked a table for Weds 30th Oct and Fri 1st Nov, we requested a table upstairs by the window and both times we had a lovely table. A good menu with plenty of choice and the food is freshly cooked to order and of a very high standard.

First time here, we queued for a table, we were a large group. The unexpected sunshine had brought walkers from all over Devon to this venue. It was mental but the staff were cool calm and collected. Not a panic in site and this went on for hours. We had a great breakfast all cooked to perfection, hot toast, real butter. I don't know how they did it but I would recommend and come back again.

I come here regularly for a family get together. The food is always excellent and there is a good choice for vegetarians. Service is always superb. Highly recommend!

Really friendly, very busy. Really simple food (fish cakes, salt and pepper squid, cakes and coffee) but so well done!! Lovely cakes, and super fresh fish with beautiful salad and dressing. Sat outside under the canvas roof, right on the beach.

Brilliant dinner last night. Spaghetti seafood to die for. Nice friendly service. Thank you. Family run cafe/restaurant. Fabulous views, great food and lovely staff. Continuously busy and frequented by the locals - always a good sign.

I love this cafe for breakfast and lunch. My friend arranged a surprise breakfast here for my birthday and the staff were so accommodating. The food is lovely and amazing hot coffee. I had the vegan breakfast as pictured but I hear the sailer breakfast is lovely too.

Just returned from a short break in Teignmouth and despite the rain had a great time. Our visit was made all the more pleasurable when visiting the ‘ Clipper’ on three occasions, the first for coffee & a cake, the second for dinner and we could not resist coming back for lunch. Superb friendly staff, delicious food and just the most wonderful view even at low tide. A must visit for all ages!

Myself and my wife took our 2 year old Basset Hound for lunch and breakfast during our week stay in the area. Very nice food and a wide range of sweet and savory snacks! Nice views across the harbour and immediate access onto the beach.

Have visited many times really great for coffee and cake but food let’s it down, such a shame as I love it there, have tried to love the food but can’t , I can honestly say I have never had a good meal there. They have the most wonderful setting set right on the beach they just need to get the food right -

Never had a bad meal here , always so fresh and tasty , I come here a lot ! Service always fab too. I love the Clipper !

Ate here twice during our stay in teignmouth caught the ferry across and chose the clipper as it was dog friendly and you had a good view. Food was excellent and I felt very reasonable. First time we stayed we ordered 3 all day breakfast and a spaghetti bolognese which was very filling. Next time we had rush and chips and a scampi. The portion was excellent and the service very good. Highly recommend this cafe if you want a decent meal.

Taking advantage of early Autumn sunshine took the opportunity to visit the Teignmouth area and finding parking difficult there crossed the bridge to Sheldon. 're had a look around the town and having checked out several establishments for some thing light chose The Clipper Cafe. There are 3 areas available to sit and eat, a garden outside, the ground floor and the 1st floor which is what wee chose. From there there is a most pleasant view over the river and out to sea, also viewable from the garden. Having ordered and pre paid for 2 crab salalads were settled down to wait. However our order was delivered in very quick time by a friendly waitress and I can say 're very happy with the portion of crab 're were served.The premises seemed clean and well cared for and 're will be happy to go back. I have awarded 4 stars because 're goth had salad and Well would need to have a few more dishes before making a final judgement

We had a lovely evening meal here on the weekend whilst on a camping trip in the area.There was lots of choice on the menu and the service was swift and friendly.It was lovely to sit outside and watch the comings and goings on the river and we'd thoroughly recommend it here.

Fantastic brunch with amazing mushrooms, not the usual,great setting efficient staff and service in a beautiful village Lino Len

Had a good breakfast here with my family, good staff and great location. Being picky my only improvements would be, having had a Captains breakfast:1) Have the baked beans in a separate dish rather than on the plate2) The sausage tasted like a cheap chip shop sausage rather than a quality local oneWill be back....

Great setting looking over the river teign eating fish and chips. Perfect. Well recommended and dog friendly.

Called in here for coffee and cake. We were not acknowledged by the 4 members of staff for at least 5 minutes. They have limited knowledge about gluten free products and are not able to advise confidently. We sat on the upstairs balcony next to the planters which were full of weeds. The decking needs a good scrub as it was absolutely rotten with dirt and the floor downstairs was sticky. Next time we will try the cafe down the street, which looks a lot cleaner, has more choices and friendlier staff.

We've not visited The Clipper for a while and after today unfortunately we won't be returning. We went in for breakfast which is usually very good but what a let down. Both the bacon & the sausages were very baked up, they looked as though they had been pre cooked and left on a hot plate. Once our order was placed service was so fast there is no way it was freshly cooked. The toast was cold as were the plates, & my egg was fried to oblivion.The only thing I enjoyed was my mug of tea. Yes I know it's regatta week and they expect to be busy but overcooked, cold food is no excuse.

The staff are very friendly and welcoming and the food is good, but I found it a little pricey! Two breakfasts, two children’s meals and drinks was over £40.00, not what I usually pay for cafe style food, although it was very nice food! Beautiful views from the rear garden area as well

We visited this cafe on a day out to Shaldon Zoo. The menu was very extensive so we thought we'd give it a go. There are lovely views at the back of the cafe and it is in a good location. I ordered the Cheddar cheese and Devon chutney sandwich for £6.95 which according to the menu came with a side salad. When my sandwich arrived the side salad consisted of a few leaves and 2 cherry tomatoes which weren't very tasty and considering the price I expected that there would be some other salad on there such as cucumber, onion and pepper. The chutney on the sandwich was also disappointing and I ended up having to scrape it off. In my opinion this cafe is massively overpriced and I certainly won't be visiting again.

It’s a great location if you can get a table on the terrace overlooking the beach. We unfortunately had to sit inside as all the outside spaces were either full, in the Sun, too hot, or under utilised, 2 people sitting at a table for 6 etc. The service was slow, but it was busy and the ladies (yes it was mostly girls/ladies) worked tirelessly to serve everyone. They’re all polite except the lady serving on the till, who looked stressed and arrogant, rolling her eyes with impatience, as if we should all know how the system works and exactly what we want to the letter before we dare to queue up. The system of queuing to give your order to one single person at the till is laborious, and frustrating, maybe part of the slow service problem and too much for one person to handle? The price of the food is not unreasonable based on a normal type restaurant, but this is more like a coffee shop style service and therefore I don’t think the prices are justified. The portion sizes were strange, my daughter asked for kids meal, chicken and chips, with beans, when it arrived it was 3 tiny chicken goujons, you get more at McDs, chips and loads of beans, a bit disappointing for her. My son had ham eggs and chips, again some really basic thin cut ham with 1 egg and loads of chips. It’s was ok, but we didn’t really enjoy our experience and would probably give it a miss in favour of the Strand Cafe a bit further down next time.

This morning we popped in for breakfast as we do about 4-5 times a month, but this morning we were let down by poor service and substandard quality food today which is such a shame as the breakfast is always excellent. It was not busy considering it’s the regatta week and we were there at 9am. Think we will wait a while before we go back and try one of our favourite local cafes again.

Consistent quality of ingredients, presentation and service. Fortunate enough to get a table on a busy Friday evening. Never disappoints....

Me and my Boyfriend Stayed in Ringmore, Shaldon for a week's holiday and The Clipper Cafe was one of the best places to eat, drink and relax in this beautiful village. The staff were incredibly hard working day and night, polite friendly and welcoming. During our stay we ventured there for breakfast, lunch and dinner and every time the food was freshly-"home-cooked" and delicious. They do a range of breakfasts (served until 5pm) sandwiches, paninis, salads, evening meals, drinks, tea coffee and last but not least - freshly baked cakes! Service is fast and uncompromised no matter how busy they were, we enjoyed a couple of lovely evening drinks outside too. A fine asset to this lovely village :)

We would recommand a stay there, the view from the cafe is very nice and you will be able to indulge yourself with good cakes.

Although there was a queue, did not mind because the staff behind the counter were being extremely helpful to cater for everyone's needs. The meal came very quickly and was great quality and value. Extremely pleasant place to have lunch with fantastic views of the estuary.

Probably one of nicest places in the UK you can have breakfast. We visit The Clipper every two weeks throughout the summer when staying at our holiday home and have done for years. Unfortunately over the last 18 months it seems someone has taken their eye off the ball. The tables are always sticky, the chair cushions look grubby and are uncomfortable and more disappointingly the quality of the food is way under par. How any self respecting chef can serve dried up bacon and overcooked sausages is unbelievable, particularly for the price charged. I think this place is trading on their stunning views and not the quality of their food. I've read some of the other ratings and can only assume they have a different chef for lunchtime/evening service. However always friendly service and good coffee. Unfortunately we have decided to find an alternative venue for our future holiday breakfast!

Took my mum here for her retirement do... It was a lovely atmosphere with fantastic service. The views are to die for.. Food was lovely cooked by the wonderful chef Gino!!! Nothing was too much trouble and we felt wonderfully spoilt rotten!!! Parking can be tricky as it's a small village in a beautiful beach location so maybe go to the pay and display car park behind the village and enjoy the stunning views on your gentle short stroll to this delightful bistro

Our favourite place for a vegetarian breakfast. Menu amazing and service fantastic. Lunch also great and recommend the salads. Can sit inside upstairs to admire the view of the beach, Teignmouth and ness. Or downstairs with the cosy decor. Outside seating lovely and in the shade.

Stopped for fish and chips and a bottle of white. All good and good/quick service with well cooked food. Thank you!!

Lovely setting right next to the sea and really nice, friendly staff. It is handy that it has quite long opening hours, so breakfast, lunch and dinner. We had breakfast here, I had pancakes, bacon and maple syrup and my wife had smashed avocado on toast with bacon, with a latte and a lot of tea. Mine was tasty, although £ for what it was, and I would have preferred streaky to back bacon. My wife had 1 piece of toast smothered in avocado, it would have been nicer over two pieces of toast and with 2 pieces of bacon rather than just piece of streaky,plus the avocado cod have been flavoured more with lime and chilli.It filled a hole, but I don't think we'll go back for food,but maybe coffee and a piece of cake (the cakes looked good). Our breakfast cost £19 all in, and we thought £ for what it was.

Turned up at just after 10am on a warm (but a bit cloudy) Sunday – managed to get the last table inside and joined the queue at the counter to order with the feeling we may be in for a long wait.To my surprise our two breakfasts (one with extra bits) arrived within 10 minutes – very impressed, slight issue that we were both lacking bacon but quickly rectified.Well-cooked breakfasts, I would say slightly expensive if taking into account the quality of the sausages as they were on the cheaper side. No complaints and top marks for the speed of service.Dog friendly inside (we had our dog) but if your dog doesn't like busy environments best not to bring them - we had the table at the end of the counter which was in a little alcove so perfect but other tables are quite exposed.

A group of 4 of us decided to have lunch there on Sunday as we had a friend visiting and we know the views at the clipper are stunning. It was not overly busy and there seemed to be plenty of staff around. We chose one of the “cleanest” tables we could find and moved the previous occupant’s dishes, dirty napkins and glasses to one side and occupied the opposite end of the table. We all ordered food and drinks which seemed to take a long time – during which nobody had cleared our table despite many staff members walking up & down past the pile of used plates etc.I ordered fish & chips – why not seeing as we live by the sea!!! Thinking this would be freshly homemade ( as it is in The Ship over in Teignmouth) well this is where the disappointment began!!Anaemic, limp fish arrived with a few frozen chips and rock hard cold peas. I had also ordered a side order of onion rings and was presented with 5 small frozen rings that cost £3. On comparison with all the other meals we ordered all were just as disappointing apart from the salad which obviously didn’t require any cooking skills whatsoever!!!Halfway through the meal a waitress finally cleared the end of the table of the used plates, she accidentally dropped a glass bottle which went everywhere including all over the dog. Glass hit me on the head and several shards landed in my hair and all over my lunch – I pointed this out and was just told “sorry” and she walked off. At this point with our “Basil Fawlty” experience just getting worse we decided to leave and on the way out mention all of this to a manager. Do you think one could be located??? We simply just lest at this point as we needed to get the ferry back over to Teignmouth.I paid £19 for lunch and a drink and I can honestly say that I will never return to this venue, I would not recommend it to others as we are so spoilt for choice for good food in and around Shaldon & Teignmouth. It would appear that the location far exceeds the dining experience which is a real shame.

Lovely cafe, dog friendly. Food delicious and able to sit outside by the sea. Staff friendly and efficient, would recommend.

Great cafe, lots of options for adults and kids, healthy and a little treat. All very good. Eggs Benedict was excellent, although I lost half of mine to my son.

Excellent menu, wide and varied, all diets catered for. Try and get seating on the balcony on the first floor, brilliant views. Staff very helpful.

I've visited The Clipper Cafe dozens of times over the past few years and it is a lovely place. The food is good, but it's just at cafe level, so don't expect gourmet food. Over the years I have tried the breakfast, burger and fish and chips. On this occasion two of the party found quite a few bones in the fish and chips, so just be careful. The cafe can become very busy during the summer and it can be frequented by lots of noisy children, so if that is not your thing, you might want to try the quieter Strand Cafe, further down the road. It has lovely views and plenty of comfortable seating. It is open from first thing in the morning, to last thing at night. It is a great place to spend just a few hours chilling and watching the world go by! The staff are really friendly and I can highly recommened this cafe for a coffee, breakfast, lunch or a snack!

Popped in for breakfast whilst waiting on my car having its MOT in a local garage. I spotted the scrambled egg on the menu and that was me sold, as a Scrambled egg and bacon man that’s what I ordered. I waited quite a while considering my order and thought it a bit odd that a guy behind me in the queue actually got his full English before me. When my food finally arrived , well disappointed was an understatement. First I congratulate you on actually using a pan to cook the eggs and not a microwave but I’m sorry to say the egg had caught on the bottom of the pan and actually had black bits in it, because of this it tasted burnt.Surely the chef/cook knew this but still sent it out hoping that some dopey tourist wouldn’t notice but unfortunately as a local person and a trained chef of over 30 years and I would never serve anything I wouldn’t eat myself, I didn’t complain as having waited so long for something so simple I didn’t have time. Having heard previous good reports on the Clipper unfortunately I was very disappointed.

Reasonably regular customer, had an issue today with food quality, undercooked, no apology and the replacement food wasn’t that much better. Actually really like the place and the staff are usually great and will continue to recommend however not the first time in the recent past we have had similar issue, just a hope that the team keep an eye on standards and keep them high. Lovely location.

What a lovely little place, right on the beach, friendly efficient staff, good menu, selection of wines and open till late - loved it!

This establishment is a must to visit. The food is delicious and the view from the outside patio is lovely. There are lots of tables to dine outside and it is dog friendly

Great place for fish dinner, upstair restaurant has a very special seaview .Service and dinner were both good.

We always eat here when in Teignmouth, we come over on the little ferry, and walk back, just to eat here.Superb quality food and wine.The views from the outdoor dining terrace are wonderful.A nice girl called Orsolya served us, she was lovely, and made our evening very special.

We always visit the clipper for breakfast when in Shaldon because it’s unbeatable however this time we came here for dinner and all I can say is wow. The crab spaghetti is delicious and the price was good as well. With those views there’s nowhere better.

On a walking trip and booked for 18. Good choice of food and the pre-ordering went well. We had upstairs to ourselves. Feedback from group was ambience fantastic, food excellent and views breathtaking. We had a wonderful evening. They also have us individualised bills which was really helpful

We were staying in the beach huts next door, so it was no distance to go to The Clipper Cafe for our brekkie. We sat upstairs each time which gave us lovely views across the harbour. Despite being busy every day, our food came quickly, generous tasty portions, and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Had a lovely meal, right on the river, eating beautifully prepared fish, served by friendly staff. A lovely experience.

Lovely sea, estuary and beach views from the terrace and nice seaside feel to the interior. Good range of foods and drinks. Staff friendly and helpful.

We live quite local, so have sat down for food and drink at the Clipper Cafe on occasion, which was fine. We had friends visit recently, so as you do, take them to the coast to see the sea and a treat. They didn't have time to sit, so we suggested an ice cream. It was lovely. The only problem it was gone in a couple of little plastic spoon fulls. I should have complained straight away, but I wasn't buying, and we were already on the street on the way back to the car. I just think the Clipper Cafe should know how very disappointed we all were. However, I am planning a drive to Holsworthy to buy a big tub of the ice cream.

We found the cafe while walking around the town and we decided to give it a go and it was absolutely brilliant! This was the best fry-up I’ve ever had, it was absolutely delicious. My friends had the crab spaghetti and the liver with bacon and they also enjoyed it very much. The service was brilliant, they offered us to move inside once it began to rain. Overall, I would love to visit again. The view is breathtaking.

Pleasantly surprised and overwhelmed by the all day breakfast!Last minute decision with my wife and friend as we all needed a break,Great view across the salty to Teignmouth, dine inside or out or upstairs.Very pleasant and helpful staff,quick,clean and efficient!Certainly go again!

I visited the Clipper cafe whilst walking around Shaldon with my dog.Beautiful setting overlooking the water,staff very friendly and made a fuss of Ozzy even offering him dog biscuits as a treat.Can highly recommend this establishment if you are visiting Shaldon with a dog.

How good is this place ? Put it this way, I drove a 480 mile round trip in order to go their for a birthday meal. Excellent food as always and well worth the journey.. the. Fish and chips are gorgeous and the ambience in the evening is always relaxing and makes you enjoy the food even more . See you in August

Always a pleasure to visit. Food is great. Ambience even better. Staff very customer oriented and welcoming; I always feel like I am visiting friends.

My wife and I and 2 friends went for a meal recently. Although the food was good and tasty I felt a bit cheated by "add - on" prices. I had a Fish Pie which was not over-sized but consisted of 3 types of fish covered in mashed potato. It wasn't enough without vegetables as well - but I had to pay and extra £2.95 for them. The same occurred with my friend who had to pay extra for vegetables with his Liver and Bacon and mashed potato.When it came to desserts, which weren't cheap, we had to pay extra for custard or cream with them.I also noticed from the menu that their Eggs Benedict consisted of all the usual ingredients but without Spinach! Anyone who wanted Spinach had to pay an extra £1.50 for it. In my opinion the recipe for classic Eggs Benedict INCLUDES Spinach so what the restaurant classed as Eggs Benedict wasn't actually Eggs Benedict at all.

Repeat visit with good choices for vegetarian or vegan. Smoothies great. Lovely setting by the estuary with dogs allowed on ground floor or outside

Located right on the beach. We had a huge cooked breakfast which was delicious. Staff so friendly - saw them being very attentive over an elderly gentleman, helping him to his seat etc. Dog friendly.

Was staying in the area on business and met up with friends to eat here,what a joy it was the staff are incredibly friendly the choice of food extensive and the quality superb,,the icing on the cake is the view across the estuary especially on a beautiful late Spring evening

The Clipper Cafe is right next to the beach. The food is great as are the views from the upstairs area.

10 out of 10 to the staff member who provided towels and sympathy for a very wet member of our family group. The cakes looked tempting and the rest of the group said they were as good as they looked. All I can vouch for on this visit is the very good coffee, and the amazing staff. I will be back to try the cakes.

Dropped in en route from Dartmouth back home, glad we went the way we did. Friendly cafe in a great beachfront location, good food and fast service. I can never resist a fry-up.

We visited numerous times during our 3 day visit. Breakfasts were amazing, as were the mains, and also the sandwiches and cakes we ate. Lovely friendly staff, always smiling and nothing is ever too much. We love Shaldon, and we love the clipper whihc has become a regular feeding station for us.

Love this place - always visit when I'm in Shaldon and often more than once! For my god kids breakfast here is always a must (their ideal day is breakfast here, then ferry to crazy golf and pier!)

Beautiful cafe. But not pram friendly. Toilet very clean and great room for the pram and us. Food very tasty and hot. But very dear for us for one meal out.

Visited a couple of times last week and very consistent.Food is great for the money, lots of choices on the menu.Upstairs views are the best if weather not great otherwise head outside where you'll struggle to find a nice place to sit with this view.Staff clearing tables constantly which is good. Really like this cafe and would recommend to anyone.

Second visit. Great food, fresh, tasty and great portion sizes. A fantastic and extensive menu to choose from with specials to add confusion to your decision making. Friendly and welcoming staff, prices very reasonable particularly given the quality and standard of food. Certainly a place to visit!

We went for an early evening dinner and sat upstairs at the picture window enjoying the view of all the activity on the beach and harbour. The service was good and the fish meal delicious.

We've been visiting Shaldon for a few years and always pop in to the Clipper Cafe for lunch. On a sunny day, the al-fresco area is perfect. I had the fish cakes off the light bites menu, absolutely lovely. The others had different choices which resulted in the same smiles. We will be back.

We had a lovely crab salad while looking out over the River Teign. It was a bustling cafe with a wide range of food and open all day. Highly recommended.

Had a light bite here with a friend. Good selection of food and light bites. Lovely panini. Can’t fault it. The thing that is the added value is how calm and peaceful the cafe is. It was a pleasure sitting there and enjoy the view over the estuary.

Bright open with a nautical theme made this an inviting place to dine for a late lunch. We sat downstairs, though there is a fine view of the estuary if you dine upstairs. The menu choices were good and food came in a timely fashion and looked great.

The clipper is in the perfect spot with which to take in views of the Teign estuary whilst getting stuck into one of their yummy breakfasts. There's plenty of outside seating plus a good lot of tables downstairs with further seating that again affords great views out.Breakfast is pretty standard fayre - great selection for veggies and meat eaters but not sure what the vegan offering looks like. Coffee is pretty good and they also do some fantastic cakes.Service is also good. The staff are warm and helpful and meals are generally served quickly and are well priced.

Went with the family, so there was 8 of us. Restaurant was busy at 9.30am on a Sunday so we had to be split over 2 tables which wasn’t an issue.Food was extremely quick with it being busy. Everyone was happy with their choices of a cooked breakfast right through to smashed avocado and poached egg on toast.Would definitely return for breakfast again!

Lovely lunch in the sunshine overlooking the harbour. Friendly and efficient staff even though it was busy. Excellent choices of meals, light bites and drinks, amazing cake. Lunch was piping hot and delicious

Lovely views, Great food! I had a moroccon dish with mango and yogurt dip and nan bread. Absolutely scrumptious. Everyone else at the table enjoyed the food too. Had just enough room for dessert. I like that fact that the menu has quite a different selection to say pub grub food! Presentation was good and staff were very welcoming and friendly. Not that we took our dogs but I also like it that they allow them. Relaxing ambience with candles on the table. The only small issue was that they had ran out of the main and the dessert I was originally going to have but that didn't stop me having a lovely time.

Very pleasant coffee and bacon sandwich. I imagine this cafe would get very busy on a nice day. Seating area downstairs, outside and upstairs with sea views. Very clean, a good menu and a nice atmosphere. Dog friendly downstairs - although not a dog lover!
