Dartmoor Bakery in West Devon

An absolute gem, with swirls (sweet and Savoury), the cakes are equally delicious. Especially recommend camembert, mushroom and spinach swirl 😋 The coffee is expertly made.

I pop in here at least twice a week now since moving nearby earlier in the year. Their savoury and sweet swirls are just amazing. My first try was a tuna one and my favourite sweet one to date was rhubarb. I also buy local honey and eggs there too. Really enjoy making up my mind what I'm going to buy each time ! Thankyou ladies !

Stopped here to break our walk, what a find. The most delicious apple and sultana swirls I have ever tasted. Plenty of choice, both sweet and savoury, and tasty coffee served with a smile. Very popular and I can understand why. Thank you.

Cycle pit stop . lovely little cafe friendly staff . areas outside to tie your bikes to . we cycled from chipshop to tavistock along to yelverton along drakes trail . we had leek and potatoe Soup and a roll with cup of tea . very nice indeed . Thankyou for a pleasant visit .

Since covid they have been supplying their coffee and tea still in paper cups They supply bought pastries in paper bags no plate to cut them on. If means cutting on the slate table top This is a shame the food is good but not inviting

Absolutely delicious cinnamon swirls (amongst many other flavours!) and great coffee. This is a regular post run treat for us.

The Dartmoor Bakery can only be described as a mini food hall from Waitrose or even Fortnums! Go prepared with a bulging wallet or a flush credit card! This place has the most gorgeous array of foods, cheeses, pies,pastries, cakes wines, pickles...it is a true cornucopia of festive country fare and you will not be disappointed! It's tiny and cramped with a little indoor sitting space and no toilet (there's a public convenience just two shakes of a lambs tail away). I think it's real strength is a huge array of extremely high quality goods, so it's less of a cafe and more of a delicatessen for treating family and friends at home. We loved it!

Stopped here for takeaway sandwiches and a coffee on our Coast to Coast cycle ride. Lovely stop on the edge of Dartmoor with the wild ponies nearby, ample car parking also so if arriving by car no problems. Small amount of seating outside on the Pallets and Milk Containers being re-used for this purpose. Food made up for you as you wait. All good

Thanks to all the staff at the Dartmoor Bakery for the lovely home-made baking. A nice homely feel to the shop and cafe. This is just the type of shop the area needs.

My daughter came in with another lady and a couple of children, spent over 25 pounds and asked to use the toilet, she was refused and subsequently had to wee in a bush outside. I was always under the impression if you have seating and are serving food you should provide toilets. As you might imagine they will not be coming back.

Agreed the lemon & blueberry swirl was seriously good. And ditto the mars bar tiffin thing. £2.50 - £3.00 each, so prices you'd expect from a cafe rather than a bakery, but with just a couple of rustic tables outside it's more of a bakery, as the name suggests. Friendly. Also careful on Covid. Will be back.

Try their blueberry and lemon swirls. You won’t regret it. Good coffee too. Off the road between Plymouth and Yelverton. The surroundings are not that great. The shop looks a little tired. There’s no indoor seating. Outdoor seating is limited and uncomfortable. …metal beer barrels.

3 pounds for a tiny dried up vegan cookie.Not worth it but since the bakery doesn’t even open at the weekend I’m not going to be tempted to come back. Seriously overrated place.

Excellent coffee and flapjack on the go! Worth the wait if there is a queue. This place is enroute to Plymouth on thw Drake's trail.

Wow wow wow. Had the most delicious frosted cinnamon bun. Enjoyed it in the sun with a coffee while the kids played in the play park. This is an awesome bakery make no mistake!

Was ok, I only wanted a takeaway! Took too long ot make drinks so I left! I see they are making as people order and take the drinks over.I think they could do with some Barista training and possibly an extra person to take drinks over while someone else is making them.

Love coming to the bakery after a walk around the moor. Great food, lovely choice of drinks and the service is always fabulous. Highly recommend this for anyone. They are really good if you have special dietary needs and will always seek to get you what will work for you.

Excellent coffee and tea shop Home baked food we love the swirls sweet and savoury Staff welcoming and efficient

Delicious selection of baked goodies (both savoury and sweet) to accompany a hot drink. Good coffee and hot chocolate and comfy sofas. Will be a favourite after a walk on the moor

Enjoyed a delicious freshly baked s'mores swirl and tea. Other flavours that day included cinnamon and bakewell. The swirl was still warm, disappeared very quickly. The tea was good quality and served with a little timer, it was so nice I did not need to add a splash of milk to it. This bakery has a very nice and relaxed vibe, friendly and cosy. Their multigrain bread loaf was nummy too. Just a pity they do not sell organic bread. Free parking and lovely walks nearby.

Visited for the first time today with my Mum. Perfect distance from Derriford Hospital as a lunch time treat. We shared an Apple, cheese and walnut swirl which was delicious, accompanied by fabulous coffee and Cornish tea. Mum treated herself to a chewy lemon and almond biscuit which was divine! The cakes and tray bakes looked incredible. Really surprised by the reasonable price as the quality of the food is top notch. Will definitely be returning and recommending!

I have to say that I think the food here is extremely expensive for what it is. I also understand that a small cafe/bakery in the middle of nowhere has to make it's profit from somewhere but I think £2.00 for a very small piece of very ordinary shortbread (takeaway) is over the top. I won't be returning.

Great bakery and tea rooms. The cakes are to die for.. however you have to wait at times due to its popularity

I’m always happy (and lucky to be able) to pay extra for homemade quality food. Popped in for a takeaway roll, chose Brie and chilli jam, and it was made there and then and therefore tasted fresh and delicious. The place had a peaceful and happy vibe. The young lad serving was friendly and polite which suggests he enjoys working there and I don’t blame him. It’s so important to support these hard working small businesses otherwise we will be left with nothing other than soulless chains serving mediocre food.

We called here on a Saturday, so it was busy. Lovely food, particularly if you’re vegetarian and we enjoyed our hot drinks - tea and coffee. The staff are delightful and there was a friendly buzz about the place. My only criticisms are small; it is described as sustainable, so why are they using plastic straws? Also, please could they ask someone for advice about where to add apostrophes. “Card’s”, “milkshake’s” ?? Sorry to be a pedant but it irritates me!

Watery, with a sour after-taste. Hands down the worst coffee I’ve had this year. Ordered a takeaway oat milk flat white, charged extra for oat milk (£3.10 in total). Would not recommend if you like nice coffee

Such a wonderful cafe in an excellent location. The food is always delicious and the drinks are made to perfection. It’s well worth a visit if you are nearby.

It’s fine for a snack not for lunch, the menu is awful (cheese and marmite toasties, egg and mayonnaise) I just feel like they need to put more popular items, such as A cheese and ham, or just cheese. Not my cup of tea.

Delightful little bakery and coffee shop off the main road and right on the Drakes Trail. Really friendly staff, lots of seating options and an excellent range of cakes and scrolls in the display cabinet all made fresh. The coffee was also very good and the selection of chocolate so you could choose the sweetness (55-85% Cocoa) is a fantastic idea. The savoury scrolls (1. Pulled Pork and Dragon fruit. 2 Chorizo and herb) were delicious with plenty of filling and excellent quality bread, so light and fluffy. This is a must stop on the Drakes Trail, everything looked so good and I am sure they would all taste just as good.

It would be easy to dismiss this place as being a place for people with man buns called Tarquin and the likes.

Visited after walking the dog. Busy early in the morning and the place is warm from the ovens - need some windows open. Freshly baked walnut and coffee swirl was lush as was the chai chocolate latte. Comfy settees and biscuits for the dog what’s not to like. I bought a warm freashly baked loaf to take away. Would definitely recommend and will be back.

Nice food and drink but no view of the lovely Dartmoor, just a car park through very steamed up windows. Please! you need to get some decent windows fitted!

After a moderate half day’s cycling we were recommended to come here for lunch. Brilliantly original bakes and filled rolls. You must go.

They donated some beer to our quiz night, to raise funds for the Devon air ambulance, and were very generous. They have been supportive and encouraging.

Simply bought a cinammon bun here to take out-£2.80!You have to be joking!! It wasn't even substantial.

Popped in briefly as my sister lives nearby and I wasn't disappointed! Cafe itself is very cute, cosy and well done, and great place to relax. The flat white I had was delicious, if you appreciate good coffee I would definitely give it a try. One thing that stood out was the smell of the baking hot cross buns, I didn't try one myself but they honestly smelled heavenly! This is a lovely cafe, and I'm sure you wouldn't be disappointed popping in for coffee and cake.

I live practically across the road from this quaint little rustic coffee shop cone bakery. I'd never been in until today - well why would you when your own kettle is within throwing distance! Now the question has changed to 'Why wouldn't you?'

We tried several of the tasty baked goods and all were freshly baked, some even warm! Delicious!

I dropped in out of curiosity around lunchtime when I was in the area and was really very pleasantly surprised. Clearly it's very popular with locals as the tables were full and there was a queue for the bread and cakes, which looked wonderful. I could not resist buying one of their Monkey Rolls. It was utterly delicious - with cinnamon, pecans and spices. I shall be going back as soon as possible for more!

Just the best homemade food! The hot choc is yo die for and the staff are so so lovely! The actual shop is made out of pallets, which is just cool. Can’t wait to go back!

Having walked the dog around the old airport we fancied a coffee and snack.

Cannot praise this bakery and cafe enough. Have stopped here twice now and both times have been so impressed with the food and drinks. The homemade swirls both sweet and savory are delicious. Top quality ingredients and made fresh on the premises they knock spots off any other bakery. Staff are warm and friendly and the cafe is cosy and relaxing. Can't wait for the next visit.

The Dartmoor Bakery provides freshly baked bread and rolls etc. The quality and tast of the berad is far superior to the mass produced 'plastic' bread that you get in most supermarkets. Of course. it is a bit more expensive, but you get what you pay for, a better tasting bread. I'll be back for more.

My wife recently took me here for lunch. She has visited several times. Plenty of parking nearby, and the venue itself is an unexpected jewel in the area of Dartmoor. Great bread on sale and various delights including some homemade cakes. I enjoyed a brie & cranberry toasted sandwich on some whole grain bread which was absolutely delicious. My wife had a sort of whirl thing that had something inside it, sausage and something else I think! What am I like? Anyway, her's also tasted great. There are some tables and chairs outside for the warmer days. Dogs are welcome. There isnt a great deal of room inside so don't be surprised if it looks busy when you arrive. It's a lovely slightly quirky place with a proper family feel about it. I'm hoping my wife wants to take me to lunch here again soon...

My other half and I visited for lunch. We both had soup which was really very good and followed with a piece of cake. The staff were very nice and the cafe was nicely decorated. Well worth a visit if only for coffee and cake!

Acabamos vinimos aquí desde Oz y encantados al encontrar este café que venden café y fantásticos pasteles adecuados. . Como en casa!

Realmente me gustó mi almuerzo aquí, y el personal era encantador. La gran ventana en Dartmoor, caras pero es bloqueado por estantes del restaurante y los coches aparcados fuera. Así que sentarse y comer delante de una pantalla grande viendo cambiante fotos de Dartmoor en la televisión. Irónica o qué?

Quaint peaceful gorgeous coffee cakes etc fresh bread super sandwich bagettes few gifts to in quiet setting on Dartmoor

He sido dirigirnos hacia el páramo de toda mi vida, y solo encontramos este encantador panadería después de tomar mi hijo al parque cerca.

Nice warm friendly staff, the bakery is very nice and interesting too. Television screen showing how the store was designed. The menu is simple and cant go wrong, the food was freshly cooked and the cups of tea were tasty too. Great prices for great quality.

And, it is primarily a bakery. The seating inside is cramped and on a glorious sunny day in June, it was an extremely hot and uncomfortable place to sit and eat. So, we wandered outside to one of two picnic tables and sat in the fresh air. Cheerful and polite staff made for a good start and we decided on 2 sandwiches. Both of these (made with their own bread) were voted as "ok" but given the prices, we thought they were less than good value for money. The food menu is understandably perhaps, very limited and, unlike other reviewers, I was not impressed by the selection of cakes. So, for where it is and what it is, this is handy place to stop for a coffee and snack but that's all I would recommend.

We only discovered this place a few days ago when we were looking around for sourdough bread (sadly not available here) but we were charmed by the owner and the staff who provided us with coffee and home made cakes and pastries that make us go back time and time again. Now that the parking is free this is a nice little cafe/tea house on the edge of Dartmoor that has the personal touch. Park here, eat here and then go for a walk around the old Harrowbeer airfield on Roborough Down and you will have a memorable day - guranteed.

We met some friends here for morning coffee and tea. The teas came with an egg timer to let you know how long to brew them for. My green tea was over strong for my taste. It's different, quite pricey but seems popular.

When we visit family in Yelverton, we stay at the Rosemont Guesthouse. Directly across the road is the Dartmoor Bakery. It's a great little shop where you can get some delicious snacks or the makings of a picnic to take out onto the moors. Always a must stop when in Yelverton

Popped into this friendly cafe cum shop for lunch. Very hot and not much space but staff very friendly. Couldn't understand why a brie & cranberry toasted sarnie was £5.50 - same cost as a brie, cranberry & bacon toasted sarnie ! And no salad garnish or crisps ! Rather expensive. Coffee was nice but tea very weak and watery.Would go back as a lovely cake selection but would make sure it's not in school holiday time as was far too busy and packed out to enjoy as was so hot and had to wait a long time to be served and to pay. And def wouldn't have the tea!

On a wet day the venue can be quite steamy and claustrophobic as everything has to happen in such a limited space. In the summer it can be too hot.

This is a place where you should go it has Wonderful homemade food, and great drinks, with wonderful staff. You can even bring your dog.

Stopped here for a spot of lunch, had the brie and cranberry toasties which was divine. Had a cup of tea which was unusual, it had no tannins so was bizarre. I liked it but think I would prefer a normal blend. However I must say the Chelsea bun flavour varieties was amazing. The chocolate and candy cane was immense and the mincemeat superb. Very happy. Would Def recommend

L'endroit est bien sympa avec les palets et la cuisine ouverte. Un (grand) pot de thé de Cornouaille (oui!!! Il est carrément cultivé à deux pas de la boulangerie) pour deux coûte 3£, et ils ont des quiches et des soupes aussi. Le "millionnaire" et le gâteau de courge étaient tous les deux bons, pour 2,5£ chacun.Dommage de ne pas avoir gouté à leur pain!

This small cafe produces in-house fresh bread so what else do you need to know. Well...for a small cafe it's pricey....a bowl of soup at £5 because its home-made does not make sense to me...if its home-made soup its simple, cheap, quick, filling and tasty, try £3 a bowl is my suggestion. The re-cycled pallet shelving, displays and furniture is a little bit over whelming for such a small space but they've gone for the 'organic-recycled, fairtrade, hippy-look' which is fine...it matches the food...which is okay.

Visited this place today with a friend and our small children. Friendly staff and a cute little book corner for kids. The chocolate brownie was amazing and gooey in the middle, so many freshly made cakes to choose from and the sweet dough 'swirls' are amazing too! The only reason I haven't given a 5 star is that I feel the products are quite expensive, but delicious nonetheless.

This is a small family business run by mum Avis and daughters Autumn and Sorrel. From little acorns to a big oak tree the girls have worked very hard to make this a warm and welcoming bakery/ cafe. You can often see them making the goodies that they sell and Avis has come up with some wonderful fillings for her bread swirls both savoury and sweet. A pleasure to sit in this warm and friendly place. Her take away cups are also fully comfortable to ethics to.

Cycling along the Drakes trail we happened upon this lovely Bakery at the top of Yelverton. You choose your roll then take it to the counter and tell them what filling you want. The bread was fresh and the fillings we had very tasty. The tea is provided in generous sized pots and was good quality. The staff were friendly and efficient. A lovely experience.

A small but perfectly formed coffee shop/ bakery with great treats both savoury and sweet. Take away or eat in. Only thing, ask for salad in your roll if you want it.

Only called in for a cup of tea as booked for an afternoon tea at Moorland Garden (big mistake as it happens). We did drool over the cake and luckily took some home as did not get the afternoon tea! Will be back- if we can find it again as stumbled across it on the moor.

A super place to rest ones feet and enjoy the real nice bites on offer. Or one can enjoy an coffee or indulge in a pot of ENGLISH tea.(we did last year and we are looking forward to another visit this year.)The ambiance is is quaint and the staff is very friendly.One more point the food is very well prepared.

Amazing produce coffee and service with a friendly chat. Free wi-fi but why not sit outside and enjoy the fresh air! I didn't try it all.but it looked scrumptious and there was a steady stream of people who are obviously regulars..could not ask for more. A hidden gem..

Didn't get a chance to visit until the last day of our holiday when we called in to pick up some cakes for our journey home, my waistline is very grateful, as it was we very nearly turned the car around to pick up some more. We sampled chocolate brownies, where we were given the choice of a middle or edge piece, such a lovely touch, and mars and malteser tiffin, where we were again able to select the slice. All the cakes looked so good. The eating area looked relaxed and tempting, next time we visit the area we will be calling in for breakfast and a hot chocolate.

Always a yummy breakfast, thick slices of toast , freshly squeezed orange juice and creamy white hot chocolate. Staff are always friendly and the cakes look amazing

What a Gem of a bakery Called in on our way to Plymouth on our bikes Chelsea buns just out of the oven Delicious !!we will be back time and time again Keep the Good work up

Everything, and I really do mean everything is made fresh by Avis and her daughters in the bakery. You can have the freshest of fresh filled rolls. Amazing home made soups and some of the freshest pies and quiches. I would recommend this with an A+

Really nice range of bakery products and drinks, great atmosphere its so friendly and just nice. I will call in here whenever I can.

Really good baking, friendly welcome. We stopped for Bread and cakes and ended up revisiting several times. All bakery items are fresh and they're happy for you to pick the ones you want!

Small, but impressive place. All products made on the premises. And when a specific cake or bread is 'gone' ... it's gone and next day you'll have new opportunities. Very 'honest' baking and also glutenfree options. Good parking space right in front.

An extremely warm and friendly welcome. Avis is very much of a tea /coffee expert and can explain everything to know. Cakes /buns are to die for. Cinnamen buns are a real treat. What is there not to like ..?

We popped in on a very cold day after walking my brother's dog. It was warm and welcoming andbthe staff very polite. Their hot chocolates warmed the coldest of cockles and the selection id cakes and biscuits satisfied every taste. Thank you

Great place for good coffee and cake. Definitely best in the area. The Hummingbird Cake is yummy!! Do check this place out.

This is such a lovely hidden gem set in the beautiful Dartmoor National Park. All the food they serve is fresh, homemade and delicious. Service is always with a smile and the food and drinks never disappoint.

Grea selection of hot chocolate so you can blend of choice, great Cornish tea and fab coffee, the service and care given in explaining the options, sold this place to us, so we will return. Great selection of home baked cakes and breads in the bakery part of shop, also selling fruit and veg, all organic and the eco earth friendly manor of creating the shop/ cafe. See you soon.

My friend took me there for a spot of lunch. What a wonderful place to find, they were celebrating their first birthday one of many birthdays I hope. Not many seats so was lucky but can image it gets very busy. The egg and bacon pie and salad was lovely and very filling. The tea was a marvelous never had black tea before. The cakes which I didn't try looked yummy maybe next time

Tried this bakery/coffee shop when others we normally use were closed. The ambiance is to try and invoke a feeling of recyling, so if wooden pallets nailed to the wall and plain concrete floor for decor is your thing then I suppose this is the place for you. (I'm sure you get the picture).It is located a short distance from the Cycle Trail so handy for that.On the day we went, it was afternoon on a cold damp day. Due to the baking throughout the day on site, the common kitchen/restaurant space was nice and warm, but due to the large single glazed shop front type windows, the glass was covered in condensation streaming down the inside glass. Not that there is much to look out at, a car park and a village road is all you would see. The aroma from the baking must be their biggest selling point. It was fabulous and made you very hungry. You can choose from the racks of boutique, speciality for a style of loaf/roll/cob you would like used in making your snack. However, don't be surprised if, by the afternoon, your prefered dough is sold-out.The best part of the visit were the other customers present, who were a strange mix of overly friendly misfits. Quite fun!

Very disappointed to find that this usually welcoming busy little home bakery and cafe with in and outside seating was shut without notice or explanation for the whole of a warm dry perfect weather long weekend.

Stopped for a hot drink here on a blustery day. Has a degree of rustic charm but it serves a truly exceptional range of hot chocolates. Cakes are good too.

This is a wonderful friendly place but its reputation has spread far and wide and it was very busy whilst we were on holiday in the area. Don't let this put you off. Food and drinks first class!

Visited yesterday with friends and family and it was just lovely. Lots of yummy cakes and drinks to choose from but also a good selection of fresh fruit for those wanting something healthier with their drink. Staff were helpful and friendly and although very busy the service was quick and efficient and there was very little wait for our fresh food to be prepared. Would definitely recommend this place and you must try the cornish tea, it's delicious.

Not sure of the management logic. I accept that they have a good local trade but it's obvious that they also service a great many regulars who come up on the moor to walk or cycle or play around, perhaps picnic with children or older relatives and that often involves coming in to buy componants or even everything needed for a meal or snack. We came to the door and found another family reading the holiday closure notice. The other family said that they were told at a shop by the roundabout that the bakery had decided 'that it would just be too busy to cope'!What goes on? Not opening for the busiest weeken of the year?

This is a truly fantastic place! The coffee, tea and hot chocolate are all very high quality and the cakes and bread are consistently delightful. We always feel very welcomed here and it is very kid friendly. There is a selection of great books, colouring in books and a few toys and a comfy sofa to relax on.

Good cozy atmosphere in a convenient location with lovely cakes and first class coffee. Very family friendly.

We had such a lovely time here today, interesting a delicious cakes. Coffee, tea and hot chocolate that is passionately picked and talked about by the owners. The manager and her daughter were very welcoming to us and our children. long may it continue! All I can say is thankyou.

After spending time walking our Dog we dropped in here for some coffee to take away.That would have been easy but when we saw the lovely range of homemade cakes how could we just have coffee.We bought Muffins, Chocolate Cake and some Hiker Bar which was a gorgeous fruit filled bar so delicious.We will be walking the dog up there again so we can pop in again.

We've been here lots of times and find it always to be lovely. Staff are friendly and happy to take time to go into details of food or drink. Always accommodating.

Outstanding quality cakes & pastries baked on the premises with a wide range of artisan coffee, teas & hot chocolates. Dogs and cyclists welcome! The chelsea buns are possibly the best I've ever had anywhere!

Had read good reviews about food and is was a very good fresh homity pie when it arrived after 45 minutes wait as it was still in the oven when we ordered at 12.30pm! Cornish tea was lovely,strong and a good flavour. So would try again as very accommodating friendly people but do agree does feel cluttered in there and we were told pie would only be about 10 minutes so perhaps they need to rethink their timings

Nous n'y avons pris qu'un capuccino et un chocolat chaud mais je regardais passer les plats avec envie. Je vous recommande cette endroit construit en palettes. Mon chocolat était absolument delicieux

A real little gem of a find, a must visit, great food in a lovely location but beware it's not a huge place with a huge menu to choose from but what it offers is great food at a great price with real friendly service, this place is certainly going to be a regular haunt.

Nice for a cup of tea, and a rest friendly staff kind with a smile.Ice cream good for kids. Internet sign would be better rather than asking for a voucher?Will return again.

Its a good little bakery and cafe/coffee/tea shop. It's a bit expensive but not discouragingly so. The interior made from recycled pallets and other wood seems to evolve. Today I noticed the arrival of a slightly odd 45 degree angle glass and wood over the counter usually overloaded with delightful chocolate and cake slices but until now vulnerable to very child's fingers or adults coughing and sneezing. Also even now many months after opening the large flatscreen TV on the wall doesn't show rolling news with subtitles or sport but the now hackneyed speeded up recording of the work converting the interior. The place has a strange feel, an incomplete evolving place but it is friendly and the food is good.

Friends had recommended we try this place which is a small bakery cafe just on the edge of Yelverton next to the Yelverton-Tavistock cycle trail. The cake (tried two types) was very good and the coffee and green tea were too. The staff were very friendly and helpful.You can sit outside but the location does not give you a spectacular view. This is still a good spot after cycling up from Plymouth. Note: they don't yet bake loaves but do intend to.

All too often you see "Home made food" signs. Believe me this is home made food that you can see being made. Quality and taste is good and the place is well worth a visit.

We visited the bakery on a Friday afternoon at about 3pm, and absolutely loved it! We all had soup which was delicious, and we also tried their hot chocolates which are made from solid chocolate melted with milk, gorgeous. All food is cooked on site, it is fresh and really well made. Perfectly situated next to the cycle path to Tavistock. It is just a pity they aren't open on Sundays!!! Best cafe I have been to for a LONG time.
