Harbour House Cafe in South Hams

Although the food was nice, the portions were minute and my entire lunch (for which I paid over £10) had about 300 calories in it (half a pitta bread, two lettuce leaves, a tiny pot of hummus, a few carrot and cucumber sticks and five olives). Fine if you are on a seriously calorie counting diet, but not if you’re looking to feel replete. Atmosphere today: very quiet. No one talking much.

Sadly Harbour House used to be the best cafe in Kingsbridge but we went yesterday for the first time since new owners and it looked like it was closing down. Bare walls, no music. Only one person serving, cooking and taking orders which is not enough for a cafe that size. The food was cold when delivered and tiny portions. Not up to the standard it used to be. Such a shame and a huge loss !

Delicious frittata today with green salad and tasty coleslaw. Absolutely loved it and portion just right. Super lovely friendly staff and great spot away from the madness of the town. Loved it !

Tasty food & friendly service but overpriced. £8.95 for half a pita with some falafel & hummus, salad on the side is an extra £2.00. Two adults & two children light lunch was over £40.

I had lunch. Freshly prepared with really fresh ingredients. Very nutritious. Amazing selection of cakes / desserts.

Used to be amazing but now it’s changed hands the menu is radically different (please bring back quiches, tarts and salads!!!!!!)

I used to love this cafe. Was my favourite place for coffee and lunch in Kingsbridge, but it's been taken over recently and just isn't the same. There is limited choice in the menu, the portions are small, the cakes in particular are tiny, (and expensive), and all either chocolate or nut based. The coffee too strong and bitter for my taste. And the cafe is empty! No one here at all, when it used to be packed, and very lively. No wonder I guess. It's still a lovely cafe with a gorgeous garden, I think the new owners are trying hard, but missing the mark unfortunately.

Delicious coffee and cake in this delightful cafe. Ady and Emily very welcoming and chatty. Beautiful courtyard garden to enjoy the sunshine.

Delicious healthy vegan options really friendly and helpful people, highly recommend Dogs allowed Will go again. Date dessert to die for!

Really lovely staff and excellent vegan food - not too many choices but all absolutely delicious! Very comfortable cafe to linger in.

The food was fine, if a little bland. Not much choice on the menu - mains or cake - but I suspect the new arrangement needs to settle down. The guys are very welcoming and chatty. We’ll try again in a month or so but hope the choice is wider then.

Lovely cafe. Upstairs above the gallery. Vegetarian cafe.. indoor and outdoor seating.. Lovely courtyard. Very friendly service.. Lovely atmosphere.. lovely cakes.. Lots of various flavours of Teas, coffees, Hot chocolate. Homemade soup..which I had cauliflower came with sourdough bread.. Lovely place. Highly recommend..

Easily the most delicious, whole food in town. Beautiful, predominantly organic simple foods with heaps of flavour. Wonderful to have somewhere locally offering decent quality whole foods.

There is nowhere I would rather eat out - anywhere! The food is out of this world - I am a regular, and each time it keeps getting better and better, from the ever changing main menu to the delicious cakes and beautiful raw vegan cake bars. The food is so tasty and healthy that you feel completely nourished and looked after, knowing that is doing you so much good. The atmosphere is relaxed, friendly and gentle and the beautiful courtyard garden is an oasis of calm. Ady, Emily and their team are incredible!

Such a friendly welcoming atmosphere the new owners have created, sharing the most delicious plant based food, freshly prepared- yummy.

Such a welcoming atmosphere the new owners of Harbour House Cafe have created with fab plant based food freshly prepared and super yummy.

This is our second visit for lunch, only disappointment is we live in the north of England and now won't be able to enjoy your delicious food again. We have loved our tagine and cake . Please open a cafe near us.

Really nice food, what bread is it you use for the soup? Please.

We popped in for coffee and brunch, both of which were excellent. Lovely people, great friendly service by the two guys who were on, and a smashing relaxed welcoming atmosphere. If we lived locally we'd be there every week.

Gorgeous wholesome and natural food, really lovely vibe. Plus the games and magazines there make it a relaxing place to be.

Delicious. Always lovely range of dishes on menu. A real gem.

Super coffee stop in the middle of Kinsgbridge right opposite the bus station. Up on the first floor (there's an art gallery downstairs), it's sort of arty with individual decor. There's a lovely garden area out back too. Great coffee, super cakes, friendly service. Credit cards only.

Nothing is too much trouble at this Café, right in the heart of Kingsbridge. The garden is absolutely stunning. If you want to find some peace, good food and a hot drink at a very affordable price, this is where to look.

Great little coffee/cake spot (the mains looked good as well) - in a very odd building up a few flights of council building esque stairs but once you get up to the cafe its a great little haven with a nice outside area. Excellent coffee as well

Went for breakfast with my partner and our 1 year old son. My partner and I both had avocado on toast and an oat latte we ordered some toast for the baby. Food and drink were great overall. Really nice and friendly environment, staff were lovely and service was quick. Definitely recommend and will be going back again for lunch or another breakfast.

It's not often you find a little gem like this. The food is exceptional, the place divine, and a garden to die for. I will admit it was a sunny day, on a windswept wet December day the garden might be different.

Our meals were excellent, beautiful fresh produce. Good coffee and great cakes, all served in their lovely outside space. Wish we were local.

Love this cafe. Sat in the garden and had a lovely homemade tart and beautiful salad. Spot on. Will definitely be back.

Lovely vegetarian and vegan food offered in a friendly space. The staff are super helpful too. I've visited here previously but not for some years. Just as good today as I remembered.

Delectable food impeccable service long may this jewel continue.

I attended the Oxfam Volunteers "Christmas Meal" which was a lovely event. The atmosphere was very nice, great service and the food was amazing! Thank you all very much. Unfortunately I was having such a nice time and I forgot to take pictures! xox

Yoga class with Whitney. Superb. 😍

Be aware: this cafe serves cooked food until 2pm! The board outside says -3pm but they stop cooking at 2, without going overboard with details it'll be enough to say that I decided at 1.30 to leave it for a while!! So annoying. Would like to review the whole thing, it looked nice!

I enjoyed a nice lunch today sitting outside in the lovely garden. The frittata was amazing . Highly recommend this fabulous cafe .

My niece who did ordering found person on duty a bit off hand!! We only had tea

Lovely peaceful vibe. Great cakes, lunch offerings and hot chocolate. Good gluten free options. The staff are lovely, down to earth and friendly. I visit occasionally with my 5 year old son and everyone is kind, with magazines for adults and toys available for kids. It’s a great spot and the garden is beautiful. We’ll be back! ❤️✨

Usually very friendly, but very grumpy/surly today. Got here a few minutes past their rigid lunch hours, They deigned to let us have a stale croissant, But all the food still very obviously in the kitchen wasn't available. 3 weeks later... Fool me once, Today 'compassionate cafe' closed despite Google maps saying 'open <sigh

We had previously visited and enjoyed our visit. I get the impression that it has changed management as it didn't have the same friendly welcome as before. The 3 of us order meals and drinks, the 2 hot drinks came before the food but no sign of the iced coffee. We patiently waited as we could see they were busy at the till. When the food arrived, the lady didn't ask if we had everything but I said excuse me, and explained we haven't received one of the drinks. Her reply was "I work in the kitchen" in a disinterested tone and walked away. I then left my food to enquire about the drink. When the person who took our order arrived she didn't apologise but said I'll need to see it's been put through the till. Making us feel like they thought we were trying to fraud them out of a drink! When the iced drink arrived with a 3rd member of staff they were nice but obviously unaware of the build up, so no apology was offered. The food was reasonably good and I would return but I definitely won't because of the awful feeling created by the staff, completely ruining out meal. Sad really, I appreciate we all have bad days but don't take it out on paying customers and expect them to return.

There's a lovely garden attached to the coffee shop here. The coffee was really strong but I felt it didn't have any true characteristics of a good coffee. However I was really pleased to see and order an Almond Croissant and that was great!

Lovely tea, very peaceful atmosphere, love it there!

Great find thanks to trip advisor . Busy Busy on a Monday lunchtime which is always a good sign . Delicious food served efficiently.

A hidden gem. Lovely terraced area with well spaced tables allowing full enjoyment of fantastic food. I was especially happy to find multiple gluten free dessert options.

Consistently fabulous! Amazing coffee snd cakes and the main course lunches are well presented and taste great. Kingsbridge is so lucky to have Harbour House cafe.

A little gem of a place. Healthy food choices.

Good coffee. I didn't eat anything. Didn't have time. Appealing vegetarian menu and I'm not a vegetarian. Nice decor, relaxed atmosphere.

This is such a lovely cafe. It's vegetarian with vegan options and is dog friendly. We've been here a couple of times and always found the food and service great. There's a gorgeous sun trap garden at the back. Unfortunately it's really not very accessible, unless there's a lift I don't know about, someone woth mobility difficulties would not find the place very accessible.

Very nice food esp the cakes and pastries! Would recommend

great food, warm profesional service and good anti covid precautions. A real gem...................

Excellent value veg/vegan lunch menu - proper food. Friendly, and nice location. Couldn't fault it.

Beautiful Vegetarian food. Absolutely delicious, a definite visit is needed if you love tasty nutritious food

There is great choice of food and lovely drinks all set in a beautiful tranquil and peaceful garden setting. If you are looking for a place to sit and enjoy a quiet conversation or time on your own then this is it. You will not be disappointed.

Great spot good cyder and super staff! 😁 👌

Had a lovely lunch in their garden – fresh soup with a really delicious focaccia on the side. Friendly staff and a lot of thought has gone into the place.

We are not vegetarians but having read great reviews for this little cafe we decided to try it. Staff were lovely and the cafe itself is cosy. My partner had the soup and I had a hot bowl. Both were delicious and so full of...

Delightful, lovely garden good coffee delicious orange & almond cake

There are so many good cafes in Kingsbridge. This one is in the top 3 or so. Lovely setting with friendly helpful staff. The food is just great. Varied, tasty and so fresh. Not a single point can be deducted from this cafe. Thank you....

There's no better place that serves fresh fritattas and loose leaf tea in Kingsbridge. There's also a quiet garden, far from the madding crowd. Enjoy 😎

We were looking for lunch and nowhere seemed open to and eat. This is in a building with a yoga studio. There is an accessible garden out the back, just go down the side alley. The front entrance has steps. The food was amazing. All...

Super cafe serving really delicious vegan fare, as well as other options. Enjoyed our lunch in the beautiful courtyard, festooned with luscious plantings and sun, which was peaceful and quiet considering it is on the very edge of town. The vegan owner is friendly and...

Visited for the first time & had the mezze with a latte, my wife had the spinach, pepper, goats cheese & basil frittata, followed by a selection of gluten free cakes. The food was excellent, the service great (was quiet at the time of our...

Great coffee and lunch stop with nice garden at the back

Just off the main Kingsbridge high street is a portal to the tropics. Harbour House Cafe is surprising exploration for all of the senses. A bold and focused menu brings exotic flavours to the tourist South Hams town and all finished with an artisanal touch. The locally sourced decorations give the ambience a feel of adventure, and the cakes and treats that lie in wait are so worth it!

Lovely local cafe set within the art gallery with a fantastic menu full of delicious breakfast, lunch and cake options. The coffee was fab too! Would highly recommend :)

Food fresh and very tasty. You order and wait outside until ready.

Good coffee and hot chocolate. Croissants delicious. Choice of cakes. Socially distanced with safe access and exit.

Nice place to sit and chill. Nice staff, nice coffee, nice cake.

Beautiful place to eat, both inside and out. Immaculately clean and socially distanced so feels very safe. We met friends for lunch, coffee and cake on their recommendation. The lunch menu and cake options were fantastic - the Mezze and Buddha bowl veggie/vegan options we...

What a lovely little find. After a long drive for our stay in Kingsbridge we came across this place to eat and it was exactly what we needed. Friendly service and great food. I had the frittata and my partner had the tart, both great...

Very calm, light and spacious and delicious cakes. However service was a bit slow (one person doing everything) and my husbands tea was only filled half way up a small cup. This was rectified with a water top up but only after queuing again

The cafe has relocated to the ground floor exhibition area since opening after lockdown - the food and cakes are still delicious! Always very tasty and fresh with an innovative menu. A must stop every time we’re in Kingsbridge.

Harbour house cafe is an absolute gems and a calm haven away from the hustle and bustle. The food is amazing (in particular the vegan Buddha bowl which is bursting with flavour and goodness) my son who doesn’t normally eat salad said it was the...

Wonderful homely feeling cafe. Nice location down by the water. We stumbled across this place in our first visit to Kingsbridge. The gallery below the cafe was packed full of local art. Great! Also had information about various yoga / martial arts classes. Food was...

Quirky style. Gorgeous vegetarian food, fab atmosphere. Beautiful homemade cakes.

We had a week in lovely Kingsbridge at the end of September but unfortunately it rained most days! We loved the town and the people but the rain limited what we could do. One highlight though, was lunch at the Harbour House Cafe. Its a...

Went as a family of 4, whilst on holiday. Absolutely adorable place. Gorgeous setting with books and crannies - a seating area over the gallery, cosy tables, delightful garden. Food choices top notch and my husband is very fussy over coffee - he rates the...

We found this place on the happy cow app as it is vegetarian cafe but whatever your taste it is a lovely calm place. We were too late for lunch so just had tea and cake but it was good well presented food and drink....

Hidden away above an art gallery. All the meals were very reasonably priced, freshly made and totally delicious. There was also an interesting selection of cakes. We sat in their beautiful garden and were served by friendly and efficient staff. I thoroughly recommend this cafe,...

Really relaxing cafe, excellent coffee and cakes and savouries. Good welcoming service. The only slight drawback for people with walking difficulties is that the cafe is on the first floor of Harbour House, and if you want to eat in their lovely garden there are...

If you are looking for a good place for coffee and cake then this venue might be the place to try if you are in Kingsbridge. We did and were pleased we had!

First time in Harbour House, visiting family in Kingsbridge, and we stopped for lunch. It was sunny and we sat down in the amazingly lush garden. I had the pea fritters, which were great! A really fresh and tasty vegetarian meal. I will come back next time!

We have to find somewhere that caters for a coeliac diet so took a punt on this café as they advertised vegan and vegetarian which looked like they would understand. They did and had a separate cake stand with different gluten free cakes. I went for sour cherry and coconut. Cake &amp; coffee both good. Took a little while to arrive but it seemed one chap was doing everything and obviously doing his best to keep up.

Found this little gem whilst on holiday and exploring Kingsbridge. Nearly missed it as the sign was advertising yoga, meditation and tai chi before we noticed 'cafe'. Had to climb a few stairs to get to the cafe but it was worth it. We descended a few more steps and sat out in the pretty little garden at the back. We only wanted a quick coffee but the cakes looked so tempting we couldn't resist having one. We had the most delicious mango and coconut cake. It was so moist and tasty. Lovely coffee too. Shame we we were unable stop for lunch but will definitely go back when next in the area.

We have been regular visitors to the Kingsbridge area over the last 30 years and only in the last 5-6 years discovered this almost 'hidden' haven of peace, tranquillity, incredibly reassuring vibes and brilliant coffee and food, served in a very tastefully furnished 'real world' coffee shop and beautifully flowered and peaceful courtyard garden. Our recent visit was a week ago and we visited twice in the week - always a pleasure to visit and always will be our favourite go to place for coffee when visiting Kingsbridge. Thankyou to all at Harbour House.

Really wholesome vegetarian menu in a lovely setting filled with art, interesting decor, and houseplants. In addition to this - outside there is a peaceful courtyard garden which is a beautiful place to be when the sun is out. Perfect for a quick coffee and some cake, or breakfast, or lunch!

Exhibition ' Shifting Strands' of beautifully woven rugs, cushions and scarves, there this week!!

We were on holiday in Devon and just visiting Kingsbridge for the day. We happened upon this cafe and I can honestly say the lunch was one of the best I've ever had, vegetarian or not. It's a warm and cheerful place with a great choice of food and drinks. We had the sweet potato,lime and coconut soup which was delicious, served with warm home-made ciabatta bread to die for. We also had a fennel and feta tart which was also delicious, and although I don't normally like chickpeas, I was surprised to find I really enjoyed them in the salad. You can tell that the food is prepared with real passion and care to detail. If I lived near this cafe I'd be going there on a very regular basis. A fabulous place.

Kingsbridge is so lucky to have this lovely cafe in the Harbour House Centre I just wish it was open in the Evenings! The vegetarian lunch options are delicious, excellent fresh ingredients, very well cooked and presented. There is a large selection of cakes on display and I have sampled quite a few and they have all been yummy.Good selection of Teas, Coffee & cold drinks and the Breakfast menu looks good too. The cafe has a lovely atmosphere and when it's warm a pretty garden.

I started coming here a year ago, it’s such a lovely place to come alone or with friends/family - the coffee and cake selection is fantastic (the chocolate brownie in particular has changed my life slightly...) and the lunch options are delicious and healthy. The atmosphere of the cafe itself is lovely - love the decor!

Delicious food and excellent coffee.

Amazing food, friendly staff will come back again. Had the filo pastry parcel with salad which was delicious

This is local to me, and the cafe serves freshly made very good vegetarian food, and you don't feel hungry afterwards. The coffee is excellent and so are the cakes. What's not to like

We live in Plymouth and visit Kingsbridge often for lunch, a walk and a potter around the shops. Have frequently walked by The Harbour House but never ventured in. Wish we had ! What an amazing little find. A very interesting place full of character, amazing food and lovely customers. We really enjoyed our coffee and cake, cant wait to return for lunch next time and to support local a delightful place like this.

A lovely, bright and cheery cafe, somewhat tucked away on the first floor of the Harbour House yoga and arts centre. Open from breakfast through to afternoon tea and cake. And open when the centre is open. Nice contemporary, slightly funky, decor, a charming courtyard garden at ground level and dog friendly. A relaxed and informal vibe, books and magazines to read, comfortable for solo dining as well as in company. The modern, rustic style food is freshly cooked and prepared on site (generally by the cafe owner) as far as I can see. Food is delicious, wholesome, full of flavour and ample in portion size, and served promptly. It was difficult to make a choice as everything on offer was so tempting! Order at the counter and the food is brought to the table. A great little cafe.

Love harbour house for coffee with friends and great consistently tasty food. The kitchen was a bit overstretched this visit and unable to give us any breakfast options apart from pastry despite it only being 11.20 and within service time. We will blame it on the season and hope for the cheerful service we are used to on our next visit.

Popped in with a friend, had the lentil style soup of the day to start, so good, had to phone them when home in Sussex for the recipe ! They promised to email details. Good service, excellent all round .

Last minute thought to have my day off lunch at Harbour House. A slice of Frittata with an amazing salad and a piece of salty bread was perfectly balanced. Service was light but perfect. Keep up the good work guys.

Really beautiful place, with wonderful food, especially good for veggies and vegans, freshly made with local ingrediants - really special.

The food is good and so are the cakes. They have anice atmosphere and good outdoor sitting at the back. But I found the coffee is often burnt and they don't have soya milk, which for vegetarian cafe I would think should be essential.

Stopped by for lunch with family. Shared two dishes between us, frittata and fill tart. Both were excellent. Great bohemian vibe in the building shared with a gallery.

My sister and I had a cup of tea in your gorgeous garden but after seeing your menu and fantastic selection of cakes, etc, I will be back with my husband next time we are in Kingsbridge. I like the little plastic pig up a tree.
