Coffee at Grants in West Devon

Came for lunch with the dog after recommendation of nearby vet. Welcomed. Allowed to sit wherever we chose. Menu immediately available and specials updated. Quaint area at the far end with a few books on shelves and some white fairy lights strung about the ceiling. We were at the other end. Almost all customers pensioner couples and a two eccentrics sat as singles. We both went for specials. I had the odd sounding soup - cauliflower, brocoli, Stilton and Yarg, followed by my first ever circular veg lasagne and my partner the puff pastry topped chicken and leak pie. All these dishes were (and we were warned) much, much too hot - but we waited and although the lasagne had little texture all three items were tasty. With a pot of tea each the lunch came to approx £34 which was about right. I’m not sure we would have taken the place as being arty (maybe they have evening events?). The high level vent in the lavatory was blocked by dust and fluff; and the varnished surface of our, and the other tables we could see had a crinkled and rough surfaces, giving the impression that they were wet and or sticky which they actually weren’t. Don’t like even low level gripes but surely this business could spend a short time vacuuming those vent, sanding and putting a fresh coat on the table tops and most importantly showing the kitchen how to send out food and edible temperatures. The two servers who dealt with us were very friendly, informative and helpful. This place is nothing special but we had a good lunch and I dare say we could not have had a better one in any other Okehampton cafe.

Delicious all day breakfasts. Friendly staff. Bustling and popular with locals. Lovely arty feel and very dog friendly. Perfect!

They charge £12.00 for what sounds like a nice meal but when it arrives it is poor quality, small portions of the main ingredients and badly cooked.

Order a omelette with was horrible the service was next to none no check back and hash brown was like it was precooked 5 times I will not recommend and definitely don't be returning

Nice ambience but food was not great for the price. At £52 for lunches and coffee for four it could be better. The cheese salad had a lot of grated cheese plonked on top. No chutney or anything to make it special. The bread was not granary but cheap dry light brown, only one slice which fell apart when the freezing cold butter was added. The prawns on my salad were plentiful, but no lemon slice and only half a tomato with a great deal of lettuce. The other food; a fried breakfast and French toast were okay. Pity it wasn’t more special because we were celebrating a birthday.

This coffee shop is a hidden gem! Great food and lovely staff, highly recommend everyone should pop in whether for lunch or coffee & cake, I promise you will not be disappointed!

Awesome food, awesome service, took real care with food. Great value. On holiday from Scotland. Thank you.

Looks lovely on the outside and the coffee isn’t bad but a 45 min wait when it wasn’t busy was a joke and the food was terrible dried out and extremely expensive. I would recommend weatherspoons over this place and that’s saying something.

The tea was SO STEWED by the time it got to us but that's because a good 15 minutes plus had passed by the time it was brought out. Two tannic teas and a bit - and I do mean a bit - of cake for £8.50... you'll get better around the corner at Dot's, honest :)

Used to use this place regularly, a few years ago. Changed owners, I think. Certainly different set-up. Went because I knew they sold gluten-free and I was in need of a lunchtime sandwich pdq, to take away. Okey seems to be a bit thin on gluten free commodity. Had to wait a while for it. Was a bit shocked, I'm afraid. Six quid for a medium sized bap (not a sandwich) with a decent amount of grated cheese. Not much butter and it didn't taste like butter, but might I suppose have been low grade. The cheese was definitely very mild with little taste. Have had nicer gluten-free rolls. The tomato wasn't sliced, but quartered........... odd......... No napkin with it - good job I had plenty of tissue with me! So, regrettably, I really don't think it constitutes good value. Pity. It's a nice looking cafe and clean. The service is OK, but the staff don't look terribly happy and that makes me feel sorry for them.

Had tea & coffee here with our King Charles cavalier dog on Friday 21st April . quirky old sewing machine tables A Lovely young lady served us .. tea in a teapot with quaint china cup & saucer Great cappuccino. Menu looked interesting I was particularly impressed with the vegetarian daily specials options.also seemed very reasonably priced. A thing that says a lot about an establishment is “ how clean are the toilets ?” No need at all for any concerns here . I have a fear of using public conveniences but I desperately needed to use them They were immaculate!! Well done I am a fully qualified chef and hotelier the establishments public toilets should be a benchmark as to how clean the establishment is ! After if they are an unclean what goes on in the kitchen?

Have been here several times before and enjoyed the food. Yesterday I had a tiny portion of lasagne that had obviously been heated in the microwave and was dry and tough. Was £12 too. Small salad with it was ok and the garlic bread. Certainly won’t be having that again. Husband had chilli which was the same price but a much more generous portion and was nice he said.

We ordered two cappuccino's which when they arrived had no coffee in at all. We asked for a shot of extra coffee which was a complete waste of time it made no difference to the taste. And we were charged extra for them And the tea cakes were burnt. Unhelpful service terrible Coffee unhappy customers.

I ordered a fruit scone with butter. It looked delicious when it arrived. Cutting into it however was like trying to cut a marshmallow in half. It was rubbery because it had been massacred in a microwave! I very politely informed the waitress that it had possibly been over heated and was given short shrift. I was informed that the microwave is set to heat them and that’s that. No apology whatsoever. I will not go there again and I told her so too.

My partner and I visited for lunch. Food is very tasty, reasonably priced and service was excellent.

Waffles were hard - my 10 year old was sawing through them in vain with her knife. My breakfast mushrooms were cold and they forgot the eggs (which were scrambled to within an inch of their life when they finally arrived). Fatty bacon and hard...

This place has so much potential. The staff were nice enough and it’s in a fairly good spot. I loved the mismatched cup and saucers for the cream tea and some thought has gone into the decor at the back of the shop. Also fab...

Our first visit, ordered ham and tomato sandwich on white bread, what came was a ham in a bap bun, trade description act was not adhered to! Joking apart the food was delivered quickly and price was good. Unfortunately we would not go back again.

Went for a breakfast last April could honestly say it was one of the best I’ve had sadly went back again this week and the service was awful waitress very rude, food undercooked tables sticky only positive was the coffee front the machine. Wont be...

We had a really enjoyable lunch. Freshly made open toasted sandwiches with plenty of filling and tasty side salad and coleslaw. The staff were very efficient and welcoming, their trade was very good as they seem to stay open slightly longer hours than most places....

My Mum and I went for lunch yesterday. The table was sticky and unclean. So much so, my Mum’s cup and saucer got stuck to it a few times. My mum ordered a scone and it was more like a warm bread roll? I had...

I live in Cornwall and before covid hit my friend and I had the best veggie breakfast ever! So on our travels we went back to the place we loved! Looked the same but our breakfast was nothing like before, it was a tiny plate...

Popped in for 2 cappuccinos. Ten minutes later arrived scolding hot and weak as milk. Wont be returning. Staff need to be more welcoming too.

Called in for lunch after an early start. Jacket spud was fluffy and a good size. Bacon butty was a big bread roll with plenty of bacon, tip - suggest cutting in half to serve as would be more manageable. Drinks - coffees fine, tea...

We called here for a quick bite of lunch. Our order was taken by a very young, and very obviously a new employee. Unfortunately for us - and her - the tongue lashing she got from whom I assume to be the Manager on Saturday...

Returning home from a visit to Cornwall and in need of a cup of tea we were directed to Grants. Warmly welcomed by the staff in this dog friendly cafe we settled on some home baked scones which were delicious! The cafe was busy but...

Lovely food and coffee.we chose Grants because they are very dog friendly both inside and out. It is very central to Okehampton and has lovely cosy sofas perfect to relax in with your lunch

Use to go here a lot when we lived closer and enjoyed it, however today we went back, service was good, immediate payment was odd didn’t understand why, the food is standard and way OVERPRICED family of 4 including 2 kids, 3 of us only...

Shown promptly to seats in pleasant atmosphere. We ordered two Bacon Butties, one with an extra egg. This extra egg cost the princely sum of £1.50 - and it wasn't a large egg or obviously special in any way. The bacon and the baps were...

I visited this cafe today with a friend and my son. We never even sat down as by the time we were eventually shown to a table after being totally ignored by all the staff and then when we were spoken to it was abrupt with no smile and no friendly welcoming at all we decided to eat elsewhere.Total shame as we'd decided to try a cafe in town to support a local business.Do not bother with this one was made to feel like we weren't wanted in there, absolutely awful customer service by every staff member in there!!

Was brought a nice coffee quickly after popping in on a cold day. However I was then approached by another waitress who asked for immediate payment for the coffee. I asked why and was told “they introduced the policy for COVID and have decided to keep it.” Just feel awkward and odd - think I’ll stop coming until they give less of an impression that they fear their customers will be running out on them without paying.

Welcoming and pleasant atmosphere with friendly service but have to concur with previous reviewer over the liver and bacon dish where the liver was overcooked , the dish very salty and for £9 didn't expect frozen veg. Room for improvement I think.

Staff greeted us and cleared a table for us, apologizing for the wait. Breakfast was as the menu stated. Food came out together and was hot and tasty. Tea a little expensive but value for money- got 3 cups out of teapot. Coffee hot. Staff were busy but remained calm, friendly and polite at all times especially when some customers at the door were less than polite. Staff still managed to help an elderly lady who was having difficulty with her bags.

The cafe is situated in the centre of town and offered indoor and outdoor seating. Appeared to be dog friendly, outside at least. Oat latte was good and the veggie breakfast excellent value with eggs, fried potatoes, beans, mushrooms, tomatoes and - best of all - four “veggie sausages”, which were not the standard pretend meat sausage but lovely vegetable croquettes. Service by Sasha was efficient and friendly.

The tea was good, quirky teapot, real tea leaves. The bottled organic apple juice was very appley & was local. All the staff were friendly and helpful. However the food was - the most polite thing I can say is that it was awful. The vegetarian breakfast - just terrible - whoever made the scrambled eggs must have been wanting to teach us a lesson or something. The so called vegetarian sausages - who decided they were a good idea? Deep fried and microwaved The ‘special’ (their words not mine) of liver and bacon - the liver was so dry and overcooked, the sauce was very salty & the bacon was limp and fatty. Accompanied by frozen vegetables & totally tasteless rubbery mashed potato. If we hadn’t been hungry after cycling from Ledford we wouldn’t have been able to eat even half of it. We were fooled into sitting down there because it was fairly busy, I’d be amazed if anyone returns for the food though.

Well…went into Okehampton as we had to wait for accommodation and was in need of coffee, we waited at the door to be seated as per chalk board, the place was busy and even though there was staff around we had to wait for a table to be cleaned. Went and sat down, decided what we wanted to eat and drink, went to the counter and was met with such an abrupt lady telling us she would take our order in a bit I’m very busy we were unaware it was table service as we hadn’t been told, if we didn’t have to wait for the accommodation I’d of walked out there and then as that tone to a customer is unacceptable.Ordered and food and drinks came, as it hits the table you pay which is such a bizarre method.The cake I had was very dry.Later on that evening I had very bad cramps and spent sometime on the throne, my rein lasted a few hours. During the day and evening we’d all had the same thing so could have only been the coffee I had there. I’d asked for oat milk but was unusually sick.

We went to Grants today,we didn’t see sign to say wait at the door so popped in to ask and were abruptly told to wait,when eventually the older lady got to us there was a free table and she made it seem like a huge favour to seat us! Very odd older lady here perhaps the owner. A young boy left shouting’ I want an ice cream’ as is normal for kids.....she went on to tell two older ladies if he was mine I would give him what for etc etc ...not nice to talk about customers as they leave it wasn’t offensive to us he was just a child.Our food took ages we had a chicken burger the roll been in microwave too long!! Nice waiter called Issac but otherwise sullen looking staff especially the older lady....another waitress was rude when telling people to stay in the door way......not many cafes in Okehampton but no way we will be back here. Also the loos were needing a freshen up and come out onto a table for two.

This was our first meal in okehampton and after walking past this cafe decided to eat there. What a mistake! I had the lionheart breakfast and my wife the scrambled egg with bacon. The drinks arrived 30 minutes before the food. When the food did arrive I had to send my sausage back as it was so overcooked I had difficulty getting my fork through it. My wife’s scrambled egg was inedible. Not sure what they had mixed with it but tasted like cheap margarine or vegetable oil but was disgusting. On the plus side the tea and coffee were nice.

While the staff are friendly enough and the atmosphere is pleasant, they drop the ball on quality of service.As a solo diner I was given a table, told they would come over to my table to take my order. 20 minuets later i had to ask a passing waitress to come take my order. I wasn't informed that they were only doing sandwiches when seated, as I was given the full menu to look over while waiting and there was no indication that the cooked menu wasn't available. This seemed to aggravate a large group who came in after me, waiting just as long only to be told the same. The sandwich I asked for came with a salad, and I asked the waitress to please make sure there's no raw onion in it, as i'm allergic. While the salad came without onion as asked, it was half doused in a home made coleslaw which was for the most part raw onion. I could eat around it, but I think they need to be more proactive in warning people about what's in their food if a allergy is stated as it could be far worse than mine.The food itself is fine, good quality and nice drinks, I just think the staff need to be more aware of their customers.

I used to love Grants but today will be my last visit. Our waitress asked us to pay whilst half the group was still eating; insisted in fact that we go up to the counter to pay. I pointed out that this made us feel kicked out but they made no apologies for this. We would probably have ordered cakes and another round of coffees, perhaps left a tip, but instead we felt unwelcome, so hurried up and left. Their explanation was that some people have left without paying, which I can sympathise with, but they could have taken payment when we ordered instead of interrupting the meal.Sadly the meal itself was also poor. My £7.50 jacket potato was tiny with inedible skin, presumably microwaved. The entire salad could’ve fitted on my fork.

Called in here whilst passing through Oakhampton, found it clean and comfy, the staff were friendly and i ordered the BLT with coffee and sweet potato fries, The sandwich was very good, lots of bacon and a big bowl of sweet potato fries were a good side, coffee was good overall value for money.

My partner and I live fairly locally to Okehampton and have enjoyed nice lunches in here in the past, but standards have seriously lapsed recently.We went in today for lunch, the staff were rude and inattentive and the food we had was far below par.We asked for a table outside, to which the waitress told us “I think there’s one over there, I’ll be over in a bit to clear it” the table was never sanitised and we had a 30 minute wait for the young lad to come and take our order. When he did, he spoke little more than a sentence to us and made it clear we were an inconvenience. Our drinks (two canned soft drinks) didn’t arrive. When we finally got the waitress’s attention she told us “there’s a hold up with drinks”. When they eventually came they were wrong, we’d asked for orange and they gave us lemon. As soon as she brought our food to us, she slapped the plates on the table and immediately presented us with the bill! Before we’d even had a chance to eat it or look at what we’d been served. I had a sausage sandwich, the sausages inside were dehydrated and burnt, and my partner’s waffles were soft and limp. There were no pleases, thank yous or apologies from the staff on shift. We ate our food (because we were hungry) and left with our canned drinks in hand. Do yourselves a favour and eat at Toast!

Absolutely disgusting customer service from the “waitress” wasn’t greeted, sat and waited a good 20 minutes and watched 3 other tables leave because they hadn’t been greeted nor served (I wonder if the owner knows their staff are losing them money) we waited and waited and nobody even acknowledged we were there, there were only 6 other tables with customers and 3 of those already had their food so wasn’t even busy, enough staff to accommodate the place being full yet we were completely ignored, the waitress was rude to the lady on the table next to us when she told her we had been waiting ages, then told her she was just getting her pad and would be back….another 15 minutes passed! Nothing!!!!! When we finally decided to ask for the manager the staff were argumentative and not apologetic in the slightest I got told the manager would ‘ have a word’ and that’s it..can’t comment on the food because we never even got a menu!!Won’t be going again, unless perhaps if they decide to employ some capable staff!

Limited menu at the present time, but nice to sit outside with spacious table and parasols. Friend staff.

I visited Okehampton (due to a work meeting) on Friday 18th Dec, and looked for a nice place to have breakfast. I spotted this lovely looking cafe, down a side alley, and enquired within as to whether they serve breakfast. It was open and people were inside. The reply was that “we don’t start breakfast until 9.30”. On checking my watch I saw that it was 9.17am. I was quite disappointed that, given that breakfast servings were due to start in only 13 minutes time, the reply wasn’t more welcoming. Perhaps a cheery: “We’re just getting breakfast ready, but come and sit down, and we’ll get you a cup of tea/coffee”. Due to this, they lost my trade to the Wetherspoons across the road.

Ordered two sandwiches (£4.95 each)One BLT and one ham and tomato.Ham and tomato "sandwich" (was actually a roll) had one slice of ham and 1 & a halfs of baby tomato's. Absolutele poor excuse.The BLT might aswell have just been a bacon sandwich as again had very little lettuce and 1 & halfs of baby tomato.How you can put so little tomato in a sandwich baffled me.

We found this cafe doing its best to cope with the present Covid circumstances. Quickly shown to seats, welcomed, order taken and served. We loved the ambience of this cafe.

Went for a breakfast with the family, very rude patronising staff, food greasy and burnt. Won't be back....

Stopped of here for breakfast, wish we hadn't ! Although the staff were friendly the service wasn't. Order was taken , tea was served in a lovely teapot and proper tea cups. Then it went downhill, forty minutes later our breakfasts were served, one of our party of 3 had asked for an extra egg so he had to wait another 10 mins. So by the time he got his we had finished! His extra egg looked like it had just been thrown on top of the beans! While waiting nobody came to apologise although waiting for the extra egg they did. The cafe when we got there was not busy so can't see why there was a delay. Quality of food was ok and the price wasn't too bad.

Stopped off for lunch with my 2 children and the food was excellent. Had a main meal each and all were good followed by cakes. Would recommend.

We've been here before and it ticked a box when we last visited so decided to have lunch here again. Sadly this visit didn't hit the highs as the previous visit. Don't get me wrong as I'll always chose a family/local/one-off over a high street chain, we must support local. But I found Coffee at Grants on the expensive side. We had jacket potato's which for me were on the small side.

Cheese scones are tired and floppy and not particularly cheesy - just about one of the worse scones I've ever had and I've had a few nationwide. Sausage sandwich had 4 small, tastless sausages in a huge bun - a nice big flavoursome sausage split in half would have been preferable. Good tea and coffee. Unlikely to visit Okehampton again but if we did we would find another cafe for refreshments,

Lovely spot, sat out in the sunshine, able to watch the world go by. That’s as good as it got! Frappe had no ice and didn’t look like a regular frappe! Tasted okish though. Then, what really annoyed me is that the staff started clearing away the tables and chairs whilst I was sat drinking. I feel there is no need for that, it makes customers feel uncomfortable and rushed. I would like to give them a second chance but will make sure it’s earlier in the day!

Got ripped off, charged full price for cream teas on Wednesday despite the business advertising half price with the eat out to help out scheme! We had it ‘to eat in’ and it should be half price with the scheme but the guy said it was only on hot food (false) - so basically they’re getting free advertising and maybe even claiming the money from the government, but the consumer sees none of the the benefit!

Stopped for breakfast, quite a large group but service was prompt. enjoyable cooked breakfast, nice sausage and bacon.I had the USA, waffles nice but felt it needed more scrambled eggs and the eggs were a bit overdone for me but might be a personal preference.Lovely Granary bread and coffee.

Popped in for a coffee and something light to eat. Chose a sausage sandwich after seeing it contained 3 sausages - good amount I thought. Then it arrived - more like 3 small chipolatas! Very poor as had expected 3 big, fresh, locally sourced sausage, especially for the price. I don't know but from the taste ( I had to remove the lumps/gristle) they may even have been frozen ones. Would not recommend. Have average as coffee was ok as was husband teacake

Had a coffee first time in a cafe for axa long while since lockdown..Very friendly and good quality in a pleasant atmosphere...

First time in a coffee shop for so long, met a friend for an over due catch up, a little apprehensive, but made to feel so welcome. Well organised, felt totally safe. Staff were lovely, delicious cake, and very dog friendly!

Went for lunch waitress unsure of gluten free meals I ate scrambled eggs and there was blue eggshell mixed in it I told the two waitresses and they were totally uninterested one of then was eating a sandwich behind the bar kathy

We often visit here when in the area. Menu is good and varied. I was disappointed though with their cottage pie. It was a bowl of mince with sweet corn carrot and a few green beans mixed in and a dollop of mashed potato on the top. Hadn’t seen an oven or a grill.

A lovely, relaxed atmosphere. Dogs welcome....always a bonus. Very nice coffee. It appears from an outsiders view that it is well loved by locals which is always a good sign.

We are currently renting and Oakhampton (Devon) is our nearest town, so this little place has become a fairly regular coffee and/or light lunch stop. It is a really 'homely' place with consistently good food and friendly service.

Sat down, waited for five minutes, two servers, one was preparing coffee. Both looked at me, neither acknowledged me. Carried on doing other stuff. I walked out. Basic customer service fail

Breakfast was a little disappointing on this occasion and service was excellent as always. On this occasion the Sausages were thin, not what you would normally expect on a breakfast and consequently and they were overcooked. A real shame as the rest of the breakfast was lovely.

Cosy, comfortable cafe with a good selection of cakes and great coffee, in the middle of Okehampton. Ideal to finish off your shopping trip

Have had breakfast, lunch and tea and cake here. Lovely to be able to take dog in. Soup is good as well. Never a bad meal or service here.

Popped in for a bite to eat whilst visiting area. French toast is pretty dry and normal toast not brilliant. Fairly expensive too. Owner twice pestered to lean over us to check electric trip switches which were above our table as the upstairs printer socket wasn't working. Both times we moved out of the way but we had nearly finished so it could have waited surely. Didn't have much of an ambience about the place. Nearly 11 quid for basically toast a coffee and a hot chocolate.

Dog Friendly! Which was great.Staff were very friendly Again Great!Hot Chocolate tasted like cleaning fluid (not so good - Just couldnt drink it and £2 for a can of coke was a bit expensive)The awful smell on approaching really put me off to be honest it smelt like they were using dirty deep fryers, and the outside vents to the kitchen were black with grease so they could do with being cleaned. Normally I wouldnt have stopped there but gave it a go.To be honest the food was really really nice and very tasty the sharing fries with Pulled Pork was HUGE! and not possible to eat it all even between us but the food quality and size was very good value. As I said a bit of cleaning up on the smell outside would have made it a slightly better experience. Would return though.

I found myself in Okehampton and decided to pop in for a light lunch. There was a sweet chilli wrap with salad listed on the specials board so I decided to have that - I certainly wasn’t disappointed with my choice! It was absolutely delicious, the salad alone was great, far from the normal few leaves & slice of tomato you usually get to brighten up the plate. The premises are spotless and the staff are friendly and efficient. I’ll definitely be back again the next time I’m in the area!

I was eating my lunch when a brown slug slid out from underneath my salad portion on my plate. Will not be eating in that cafe again.

Popped in for a quick breakfast while waiting for the Castle to open. Nice day so sat outside. Staff were attentive and friendly and breakfast/drinks were of a good standard. Reasonably priced too.

We found this gorgeous place whilst looking for a dog friendly place to have breakfast. Food was really lovely and the staff were too.

We popped in here a year ago and being back in Okehamption found ourselves popping in again. Not let down at all. The menu is good with plenty of local produce being used.

We stopped by for a full English and we weren't disappointed. Nice big pot of tea, generous sized tasty breakfast. Efficient friendly staff. We would definitely visit again when in the area.

Just popped in for lunch, lovely place and dog friendly too. Very attentive staff, and an impressive menu.

We have eaten at this cafe a few times and the food has always been good but this is not a family friendly cafe. I would recommend sitting outside if you have children so there is less pressure and you can enjoy the food and convenience of the locality.

Very mixed story on our latest visit (gourmet burger & lasagne). The good: the gourmet burger was good quality; the salad was fresh; the home made coleslaw was good; the bottled beer was bottle conditioned and very nice; and the service was good. The bad: the otherwise nice salad was completely drenched in a very sweet dressing; the burger was slightly burnt and very dry; the portion size of the 'large' lasagne was very small indeed given that there is a large and a small size on the menu and we had ordered the 'large'; the lasagne itself was very stodgy and strange tasting and not at all nice; and the chips were rather few in number and also a bit overdone. We have had much nicer meals here previously but this one was disappointing.

Went for lunch waited over an half hour to receive burnt cheese on toast. Sent it back and refused replacement. My husband had a Stilton burger which was okay but a bit pricey. Will not return.

Dropped in for coffee whilst shopping. The coffee and service were great, apart from the chap behind the counter who didn’t look very happy to see ask when we walked in & mumbled were we ready to pay. Decided to have a bit of lunch after looking at the specials board. Other half had a small breakfast ( it really was) I opted for a vegan tart and chose veg to go with it. Admittedly I chose not to have the potatoes that also came with it, but was still taken aback when it arrived. The tart wasn’t much bigger than a jam tart, that was over cooked, with a scattering of al dente vegetables that really were too hard to enjoy. Price advertised? £8.95. Price I paid after waitress asked if everything was ok and I explained my disappointment? £8.95! No effort made to reduce price at all in the name of good customer service. Will avoid eating there in future. Shame because the coffee is excellent and staff lovely on the whole.

My wife and I walked past Grants and thought that looks good, the service was good as well as the lovely coffee and tea but the breakfast was terrible value for money, I have never seen a smaller sausage, slice of bacon, egg and portion of beans, no slice of bread or toast not a slice of tomato or mushroom and all for £5.75 plus the cost of the tea and coffee. Never again.

Today we decided to try out Grant’s coffee house in Okehampton. We thought it would be nice to sit outside and have a drink in the sun with family inc children. When my cousin and he’s friend turned up we told them to order a coffee and join us. Unfortunately to owner was extremely rude telling them to go and sit down as it’s table service! He was so rude and he’s voice was so raised that quite a few customers mentioned how bad it was after. We decided to pay the bill and leave without finishing our drinks, cream teas etc...

The man who works in the cafe has to be one of the rudest people I’ve ever met. He raised his voice and became quite aggressive at a simple request. When we politely pointed out his attitude he just upped the arrogance. I live locally and had heard a few horror stories about him shouting at customers and had frankly avoided going there but meeting friends today decided to give it a chance as it was a nice spot to sit in the sun but never again! Everything said about this place is true! I’m just upset that visitors will think this is the welcome they get in Okehampton, this place is truly an exception , other nearby coffee shops will offer a much warmer welcome . Avoid at all costs!

I stopped here for breakfast with the family. The food was very good, slight mix up with our order but was sorted promptly with no issues. I would definitely recommend this place and I would return if I was back in the area.

On my motorbike, decided to stop off at Oakhampton for a coffee and have a bite to eat. For a tenner, the picture says it all, overcooked, greasy, order incorrect, slow service.. disappointed, but maybe it was just a busy day.....and overcharged 2.40 says tea or coffee included and free refills!!

We often stay in Okehampton at the White Hart. The breakfast at Grants and most of the staff are so much better than in the aforementioned hotel so often eat there despite the fact it is more expensive. Last visit the food was great as usual, on going to pay the bill however I was not impressed, the man at the counter was in the process of being rude to another customer because she seemed a little bewildered by the admittedly good range of available coffee, after she completed her order he actualy said " now look, you have caused a queue", he then turned to me, I was trying to do a bit of thinking to fairly split a bill and his impatience was obvious and downright rude. The food here is very good but this person who I think may be the owner needs to seriously consider his public persona, we all have bad days but this was not acceptable, I have noticed him looking morose and miserable on previous visits but this time he was downright obnoxious, the only reason this review isn't worse is because of the good food and the rest of the staff

2 weeks ago, after a morning of everything going wrong, with an 18 month old Grandson in tow, we went into this little gem of a place. He needed food and so did I. It was really busy, but was immediately met by one of the staff who found me a table in the corner, then a high chair and completely went out of their way to make everything calm again. They warmed up some food I had for him, and I ordered a BLT baguette and some much needed tea! Well, the food was so fresh with a beautiful salad and coleslaw, the tea was excellent quality. Little man was happy with some added skinny fries. It is so refreshing these days to find places like this where not only the food is of great quality but the customer service from all the staff was 100%. They could not do enough. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you. PS.

Popped in here for a drinl on arrival in okehampton. First impression was wow whst a lovely lokking place. Inside and out is table service the menu is very comprehensive and looks better than the cafe status. Facilities were spotless. The drink was excellent. Will be revisiting soon when in the atea

What a lovely find. We went here after googling dog friendly cafes. Was not disappointed. Warm, welcoming despite our 3 month old puppy jumping up. Lovely waitress even gave him a treat. He settled down. We enjoyed a lovely lunch. Fresh food, tasty salad and really lovely pot of tea. Would deffo recommend!

Visiting Okehampton today and a local recommend this lovely Cafe, we were greeted by a friendly waitress. We had very prompt service and had a fantastically prepared meal, we had tasty jacket potatoes with lovely loaded fillings. lovely coffee. The staff here made us welcome and nothing was to much of a problem, very please with the service. Good choice menu.

So many things. Specifically asked for HOT chocolate drink, not tepid, it came tepid and had to drink quickly before too cold. Specifically asked for NO garlic due to allergies, when the 'skin-on' fries came they had no skin in sight and when I tried one it was obviously garlic. Waitress then said she hadn't noticed on the packet! I found tomatoes in the burger, not stated on the menu and again, I have intolerances to tomato. Although waitress grudgingly apologised she was also offhand when she returned several mins later, despite seeing me in tears (final straw after personal bereavement), she quite rudely told me my food and drink had been refunded. Seemed less than concerned about dangers of food allergies and not bothering to check when specifically asked! Will try elsewhere in future, shame because when visited last year thought it was nice place, gone downhill!

Managed to get the very last table for a mid afternoon late lunch between Christmas and new year. Although the freshly prepared food and piping hot pot of tea in this very busy Cafe was excellent I do find their prices a bit steep. Short red haired waitress was very helpful, but found the older waitress seemed very abrupt and when I went to pay my bill she was moaning loudly at the till area - very unprofessional.

A busy New Years Eve but we managed to get a couple of sofas. Service was swift, friendly and great quality. I ordered the Cream tea with Cappuccino while my wife ordered a speciality tea with Apple Blossom. Books and magazines to browse through. Enjoyed the time

On arrival we sat down, my tiny granddaughter touched the handle on the patio door which we were sat in front of. I told her not to touch it , but as I had just finished saying it, the older waitress very rudely shouted at her that is she breaks it she will have to sit outside. RUDE, RUDE, RUDE.

I would have loved to do a review but after sitting outside for 20 minutes waiting for 'table service' having been inside to make them aware I was there. I left after another 5 minutes. Stuck my head around the door to let them know I was not impressed. Chap just waved and said. 'CHEERS THEN' in a voice that suggested that he wasn't bothered. I suggest in Okehampton people go elsewhere for as good a food and a far better attitude.

This cafe was a real find. Staff friendly, welcomed up with a 12week Labrador pup who behaved beautifully. Cafe is comfortable , coffee and food fresh and delicious. Cafe was her busy but there is plenty of seating

Great real food cooked on premisis. Nothing from frozen all fresh and delicious. Coffee is amazing and their reading nook with fireplace is the best

We have stopped here a few times over the last few years on our way to visit friends in Truro. We have had delicious food and excellent service every time. We dislike service stations so a short detour off the motorway works well for us. The food at Grants is freshly prepared and the homemade coleslaw that came with the sandwiches was delicious. The ham is proper ham not plastic ham and the bread likewise was proper fresh bread. We will definitely continue to detour here on our trips to Cornwall.

We found Grants while holidaying in the area. While we'd rate the restaurant as 4/5 overall. the coffee was 6/5! Excellent flat white with continental roast beans. Cheerful, welcoming staff. We'll be back next year.

Travelling back from Cornwall, my other half and I needed a dog friendly stop off point other than the usual service stationpaper coffee cup. Coffee at Grant’s, near the Red Lion in Okehampton, is bang on the nail for this. Lovely welcome for me, Sian and our massive lab, charming interior with super clean facilities on ground floor level. Coffee was spot on, as was Ian’s vanilla milkshake! Breakfast butty also hit the spot for this non-morning person traveller. Ruby also scored a treat from the wait staff. An absolute gem in this gorgeous town.
