Harvey's of Chudleigh in Teignbridge

An amazing place to eat. Run by a family who all have a great sense of humour, very welcoming and the food was lovely. Dogs welcome and the locals very friendly. Quirky inside and out as approx 300year old building. Highly recommend.

This was without doubt the very best belated Burns night ever. Great food. Great service Great entertainment and superb whisky tasting.

Had a half-hour to spend in Chudleigh and popped in for a flat white (delicious) and a huuuuuge slice of carrot cake - possibly the best carrot cake I've eaten - light, fluffy and carroty with a generous slathering of sumptuous icing. Six quid in all which isn't bad considering the high quality of both. Appears to be a family-run business, and very friendly welcome. The 'dad' chatted to me before I left when I asked about the history of the place (I'd lived in the town in the late 80s, but couldn't recall what it had been in the past). I had my laptop with me, but there's no Wifi nor a strong-enough mobile signal to generate a hot-spot, so I just had to relax instead of work - not a problem at all, but worth being aware of. Great place, and I shall definitely be going back.

We found this gorgeous cafe on the way home from a short break to Finlake Holiday Park. Mixed reviews here, but I can tell you this, they all made us feel very welcome - especially Snoopy and Bess! Food is exceptional and cooked to order - fantastic breakfast especially the black pudding for me! They have a lovely spaniel whom made our dogs welcome and came and sat with us whilst we ate. We also found out that the owners are originally from the East Midlands as we are. The only downside - we found it on our (long way) home! Completely recommend to all - especially if you don't mind dogs.

Lovely breakfast very nice owners friendly atmosphere . Nice menu offering breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, homemade cakes and scones. Would highly recommend .

Great menu choice for lunches and Delicious selection of cakes too. Also they sell a good selection of deli products at a reasonable price.

I’m a big fan of Harvey’s and eat here on my own or with others. The food is delicious, the welcome warm and friendly. Space is limited - it can’t be helped - and whilst all businesses do their best, they can’t be everything for everybody 🤷‍♂️ The coffee - Italian - is delicious, but the thing I like most about Harvey’s is the atmosphere. Come here on your own, with friends, with family. Bring your doggie - all are welcome! One thing’s certain - if you’re visiting Chudleigh, make sure you visit Harvey’s! An experience not to be missed!

Wonderful coffee shop, felt very welcome by the staff. The place was buzzing with locals which is a sign of a good business. Doggy friendly with treats on hand. We both enjoyed Harveys Choice breakfast which was delicious. We will be back.

Ok but an odour of stale cooking. Food variable but coffee good. Best part is the outside. Enclosed partly stone wall with shingle underfoot. Must be a boys in the summer.

I went today with friends, I am vegan and I asked what they had, there was nothing specific for vegans but the lady who served me said she would make me something as an experiment if I was happy to try it. She did me a delicious jacket potato with a very tasty filling and home made vegan coleslaw plus salad the filling was so nice. They were very busy but she made me a delicious meal and the staff were all very polite and friendly

Excellent. Visited twice - once for lunch and once for breakfast. We came as visitors but very popular with the locals - always a good sign.

A lovely relaxing atmosphere for lunch when a break away from a computer screen is needed! Friendly staff who can't do enough to make you comfortable and very good Covid signage to put you at ease. Locally sourced ingredients and our children love the milkshakes!

Great welcome by friendly staff, excellent coffee - and the food! The home made cakes are not to be missed, while the savoury dishes are both generous and tasty.

Popped into this nice little family run coffee shop this week. Due to food allergies I found them very accommodating. The coffee was nice and the people very friendly. We will continue to pop in when we are in Chudleigh again.

We always go to Harvey’s when we are in Chudleigh great coffee and lovely owners and staff. Called again today and had coffee and the Mini Harvey’s breakfast delicious. They coronavirus precautions are spot on and plenty of rooms between tables. Well done Harvey’s.

Our first cafe experience since Covid 19. All precautions were in place, panini and Latte was lovely and staff were very friendly.

I always enjoy a visit to Harvey’s. The food is good as is the friendly atmosphere. I would normally have breakfast but their lunch’s are equally as good. Nice too how they make the dogs welcome, when ever I walk by with the dogs the dogs invariably head towards the door to go in.

Popped in here while wondering around the town, what a great cafe/ restaurant, we only had a coffee and homemade cake. Great tasting coffee & a good selection of homemade cakes very light and tasty. Good selection of light meals on the menu. Very friendly staff, very welcoming, would definitely recommend.

This is great cafe.food excellent using top quality produce.coffee superb.great service in cosy homely atmosphere. We are on holiday from Doncaster and this was our first port of call after long drive based on TripAdvisor reviews. We were more than delighted. Also very reasonable prices.if you are nearby and thinking about going elsewhere for breakfast or lunch you are making a BIG mistake.

We like Harvey’s . There is a wide selection of food . They go out of their way to accommodate special diet requirements. There is a good friendly atmosphere. It is also dog friendly .

A nice stop off on the way down to Cornwall. Pretty quiet village just off the A38. Lunch was good value

I stopped by Harvey's whilst passing through and had a lovely brunch of scrambled eggs and mushrooms on toast. The toast was made from lovely, fresh bakery bread - I was expecting it to be from an ordinary pre-sliced bought-in loaf, so was pleasantly surprised, and I don't know what they do to the mushrooms but they were delicious! It arrived quickly and piping hot and the server said if I wanted more butter just to ask for it. I will say though - Harvey's, along with much of the rest of Chudleigh is very much "a local shop for local people" - I do not look in any way outlandish but as soon as I walked in a silence descended and I felt the eyes of every single other customer and member of staff, all of whom clearly knew each other, upon me. Used to the anonymity of London, I found it a little bit uncomfortable. Didn't detract from the food, but if I were less confident I'd probably have felt less welcome.

Small friendly coffee shop. Good selection of teas and coffees.I had excellent cappuccino (Large cup) and my son a chai latte. Lovely cake and an enormous piece of toffee and nut tart.Packed with nuts and more than enough for 2 really,still I managed to eat it all.

Popped in for a quick coffee and a bite to eat when visiting family. A great atmosphere and friendly staff. I look forward to visiting again soon.

Every time we visit we are made to feel most welcome even with a precocious 3 year old in tow. One time when we said we were going out she "are we going to the cafe" we said no, we're going to the aquarium, "oh" was the reply, "are we going to the cafe after" ! It's a lovely, comfortable, family friendly cafe, excellent food and a great smiley service. We go about once a month and love it.

For just a small diversion you get a lovely welcome in an owner run cafe..dogs welcome too. We both enjoyed fresh cake and good coffee but around us saw tempting full breakfasts and toasties and much else on the menu. Will definitely return next time we travel to Devon.

went here once when. the phoenix was closed (for breakfast) it was early and the restaurant at Finlake wasn't open - they made everything fresh - it all tasted great and it was a nice change to sit in the window and watch the world go by

Have been here every week for the last couple of weeks and will continue to do so. What a fantastic little cafe. You could not ask for anything better. Amazing food and cake. Service with a smile and the staff/owners are so welcoming and always go that extra mile. What a great find this cafe is. Great value for money for the quality and products you get.

Excellent 10 Stars. I have Breakfast there on a regular basis and found the Staff, the Owners very friendly. The Breakfast is great.

We stumbled across this wonderful little gem of a cafe. The cafe was tempting and inviting and had a nice atmosphere about it, and the staff were very friendly. Nice selection of cooked food was available and we decided to try their cooked breakfasts, which I can really recommend. The portions were of a good size and the sausages and bacon were of high quality and very tasty indeed. The cafe also had a good selection of coffees available. This is one place to stop off and visit if you find yourself around the Chudleigh area

Stopped here for lunch for a pastie, sausage baguette & kids pizza slice & drinks which were good. Two sections to sit in & also Garden seating, staff were friendly.

Never felt more unwelcome in a cafe. It seems that unless you are of retirement age you are made to feel very uncomfortable. I was questioned as to why I was there and for how long I would be staying. Won’t be visiting again.

This is a friendly social place with good food snacks and hard working staff and management . Lots of choice here for lunch/ brunch . We’ll be back

What a lovely little piece of Devon, a very clean and tidy, quaint and the staff are polite and efficient.

Good cafe with lovely cakes and excellent lunch menu. Will return. Beware, it closes early, all the cafes in that area do.

We popped in here for a quick bite to eat last week on the way from Watford to Plymouth. All the other establishments stopped serving food after 2pm in Chudleigh.

Very enjoyable lunch,excellent food,Homity pie,with a fresh salad also coleslaw, very good indeed.Nice atmosphere,friendly staff,which makes such a difference when eating out.We will return.

I love coming to this place. Nice to chill and relax with friends. The coffee is great, the staff are great. The owners work really hard as do the staff. Well done guys, keep doing what you do as you are doing a good job.

Popped in today and the setting is a bit odd with a cooler selling cheese and shelves full of cider , but the breakfast was good considering it was cooked on a couple of George Foreman grills and served 3 separate saucers

At Harvey's you are always greeted by happy staff, the food is fresh with many different choice's, a lot of the food is cooked on the premises, It has a lot of comfotable seating, and a sun deck during the warmer months. The cafe is always busy, dogs are allowed and special help is given to people with disabiities. It's not cheap, but the food is excellant quality, and you feel looked after. You have got to give it a try.

Great atmosphere great customer service. Excellent coffee,great food and lovely cakes. We regularly pop in the quality is always consistently good.

My family and I stopped by for a snack whilst on holiday this week. My husband said the coffee was amazing, and my daughter proclaimed the bacon butty to be the best she'd ever had! I was impressed with my bakewell tart too.

Deseo que había venido aquí para el almuerzo ya que teníamos un decepcionante momento en una cafetería en Newton Abbott. La próxima vez. Pero no tienen una hermosa de té y delicioso pastel y tomas de la tapa.

Coffee and cake..... Amazing!!! What a lovely place, staff and owners are really friendly and welcoming. Must try the cakes..... Worth every calorie...... Will be coming back!!!

Fuimos para el almuerzo con un amigo. Ambos tuvimos el tocino, queso brie y tomates secados al sol panini, era precioso, obviamente una elección popular como hemos escuchado a algunos otros orden la misma mientras comíamos. El servicio era rápido y amable.

Tartas caseras, acogedor tamaño. Aparcamiento cerca tanto por corta estancia en la calle o quedarse más tiempo en pago.

Great coffee, great company and great staff . Always feel very welcome even if you are on your own. Highly recommended.

Popped into Harvey's for a coffee and a light lunch. Lovely fresh brewed coffee and scrumptious sausage roll. To top it all off they sell local craft ales. great place, well worth a visit.

lovely atmosphere and very caring staff the service is quick and meals always yummy , being a single person i never feel uncomfortable being there by myself .

Went for Coffee and cake today. The service great. The staff very helpful. All the food on display looked lovely.

Excellent! Hot and fast served food very friendly place, occasionally visit and are very happy every time! Amazing portions as well (especially cake size)

Harvey's is a family-run business and a very bright gem of Chudleigh. The village is very small with a limited number of services, so Harvey's comes as a welcome place to relax to eat and drink.I was grabbed from outside by the old-style awning above the entrance and I was enticed on the inside by the light and airy decor. I believe that all the food here is home-made, which is of course a huge bonus. There's a large variety of sweet baked goodies to choose from in addition to sandwiches of all kinds on all types of bread, soup, full English breakfasts; the menu goes on and on. The coffee is very good and the service friendly and prompt. I was taken aback somewhat by what seemed to be high prices, yet I felt willing to overlook this given the atmosphere of the cafe and the quality of fare.Generally speaking, if you're in Chudleigh and are looking for a very decent place to eat, Harvey's should be your first and only choice.

This is a deli that organises occasional Bistro nights in the Daytime cafe. We now understand why they are booked out so far in advance, the food is fantastic!!!. A set menu that caters for all dietary tastes but still only serving a few dishes. The food was lovely, served promptly and so so tasty, my partner who is a vegetarian often comments that her food is almost an after thought by the chef, not here, she would of had seconds, or thirds!!! My beef was melt in the mouth. Puddings were stunning in fact difficult to decide what to have...

Had an hour to spend in Chudleigh and called in for elevenses. What a lovely little place! It extends further than at first thought. Good coffee and tea in a proper pot teapot! Friendly staff and we enjoyed just sitting there with the locals!

great food, wonderful coffee, and cakes to dream of.We had an excellent meal the other day; it was a pleasure from start to finish. The restaurant is comfortable, the garden is charming (and warmer than I expected) and the staff were very welcoming. We will be back.

One always needs to know where to get good coffee. I am mad when I have to pay for musty water. Here the coffee is good, the owners friendly and the home-made cake very delicious. That's what I call a good break in the morning.

Visited this venue with our local Diners Club for a special evening meal. The meal and service for a small tea room/delicatessen was excellent. Don't know how often you can have a meal in the evening but well worth a visit

We visited Harvey's with young children and it seemed very obvious to us that children were not a welcome addition to the cafe. No assistance with the double doors which both need to be opened to get a regular pushchair in.Very much made to feel in the way despite purposefully picking a table at back of cafe. No high chairs available also. Can understand annoyance if children are noisy or running riot but our children sat quietly to eat their treats as they do in other cafes. Bit of a shame.

Harvey's has a great local atmosphere and buzz. The quality of the food is always good, the service friendly. We have been many times and have not intention of stopping

Nice local cafe. Food always tasty. Can be busy afternoons but good atmosphere & friendly staff . Well done

This is a very pleasant venue with lovely food and pleasant, helpful staff. You can eat in or take away and there is a garden out the back. There is a no mobile phone policy - hurrah! It is also dog friendly here.

Been here many times. Alway good value for money, good selection of cakes and savouries served with delious coffees Various types Nd makes of coffee available. Polite and friendly staff. Supper little walled courtyard to use in the summer months

I am a frequent visitor to Chudleigh and I look forward to Coffee and food at Harvey's. Friendly staff pleasant surroundings what more could you want.

I visited Harvey's for lunch with some friends and my dog. We were all made extremely welcome - and the dog was given treats as well as made a fuss of.I ordered a brie ciabatta with sundried tomatoes. It should have had bacon but as I don't eat meat this was left out. Nothing else was suggested as a replacement and the end result was a rather slimy, fatty brie with two large pieces of tomato floating out of it. Not the nicest thing I have ever eaten and not great value for £5.99.The café was cluttered with rather alarming toys that suddenly fell down from the ceiling, and the toilets downstairs were definitely in need of a makeover.Although it was far from terrible, it certainly wasn't somewhere I would visit again, despite the friendly welcome.

love the carrot cake here !!!!! its a must .coffee is good too!!! offering a wide range of fare to sit down and eat and to take away.with a selection of jams, marmalade and chutneys and other lovely things for purchase.always busy here. the owners always chat if they have the time and the staff are always friendly which is lovely. its a dog friendly establishment as they have a outside garden,pop in here with my mum when visiting her, its a real treat .

Had a lovely lunch here during a rainy day on our holiday at Finlake Lodges.Food was all good standard and reasonable. Service was pleasant if a tad on the slow side. Wouldn't like to predict how long lunch may take if they were busy.Cafe operates as a mobile free zone, which we found refreshing even though others ignored the signs.

Popped in here for lunch as was travelling to a nearby attraction with a friend. Pleasant cafe serving light lunches System is tom order at the counter & a waitress delivers the food to your chosen table. Portions were generous & well presented. My friend wanted to have a glass of wine as she was not driving - the choice was very limited ( one wine box white), although I gather it was quite acceptable.Friendly staff.

Several visits to Harveys. Owners give the appearance that some customers are an inconvenience...a bit clicky unless you are an older regular customer. Food and coffees are OK. Good for a snack. A little odd...no food service available later part in the afternoon, around 3.00pm! Not sure if that's a regular occurance. We now tend to avoid this cafe, which is a shame and head to Shaldon or other places.

This is a popular cafe and I can understand why. The friendly service was excellent. The food was of a high standard. The courtyard garden is a quiet sun trap with a wonderful passion flower growing over one long wall.

Really nice place to meet friends for a coffee. Reasonable prices and friendly staff. The garden is nice in the summer and dogs are allowed in.

The food was great & the service was superb. What more could you want. The owners are absolutely wonderful.

Coffee and cake in a nice atmosphere and overlooking the high street... What's not to like. The owners are a hoot too.

A little gem. Really good service, lovely food and very good value. Helpful staff found my camera and ran after me, but were unable to find me. Kept it safe until I returned. The cakes were all very tempting and would stand another couple of visits to work my way through. Staff very friendly and keen to make us comfortable. The fact that it was full of locals indicates its popularity.

Just visited this lovely friendly cafe, the food is fresh and well presented. The staff are happy and nothing appears to be a problem. Would highly recommend this cafe for somewhere to eat.

Great atmosphere and friendly place for coffee and chat with friends. Good homemade food too - caters for all diets.

Friendly well-run cafe with nice snacks, pies and sandwiches. Pleasant atmosphere and nice decor. Excellent for a quick snack lunch.

I can't fault the food at Harvey's and if you need a coffee in chudleigh it's great. However, each time I go in with my toddlers the staff are unfriendly and make me feeI uncomfortable. Such a shame.

A lovely friendly place to meet with friends for a coffee and a natter. Also if you have food it is always well presented and tasty.

Visited this small establishment for the second time recently with a large group of friends in the evening. They had arranged a special night for this group with a well chosen menu. The food was very good, the pavlova I had as a sweet was excellent. Price wise good value for money

Cannot fault this excellent deli and cafe, great coffee, food and staff.Very helpful owners, and happy for you to bring along your dog in certain areas.Happy, chatty ,warm welcome. Recommended.

We've visited the coffee- shop a few times now at various times of the day and we're never disappointed. Lovely service, warm welcome and a great selection of drinks, snacks and cakes all at good value prices. Ideal for a light lunch, morning coffee or afternoon tea. We haven't made it to a Bistro Night yet as they're always sold out by the time we get organised but it's on our hit list for 2015.Would definitely recommend.

I've used Harvey's several times, the food is ok, but the place is often scruffy, food on the floor, uncleared tables. The staff are often rude, and the service is awful. The loos can't be accessed by those who can't manage stairs.

We go here fairly regularly and always have nice food and drink. We tend to eat cafe style food, though they do meals. I love the Chunk sausage rolls they do, the kids enjoy them too and always want chocolate cake. The staff are always friendly and the service is great. Recommended

We have been to Harvey's a few times and the food is vey good and the staff try hard to be friendly. It's a friendly place with locals coming in for coffee. Constructive comments - toilet area needs improvement and would be better upstairs rather than spiral staircase. Not keen on having dogs near food preparation.

Love this little ,very popular deli cafe.The owners and staff are very friendly and the food is very tasty.There is also opportunity to buy tasteful souvenirs and deli foods.If I had to find a fault it would be that it is so popular it is often full especially during the morning.

Visiting Harveys was a BIG mistake. Poor food shocking service including one waitress saying how she pulled a Sickie from work to have an extra shift! No food hygiene certificate on display? Maybe as the kitchen floor was covered in food waste, bacon cooling in open area where owners dog could reach. Service without a smile. Tuna melt tasteless goat's cheese tart tiny! If I had seen the toilet and kitchen before eating I would have turned on my heals and fled! Avoid disappointment and go elsewhere.

Just wanted somewhere to have a light lunch where the dog was allowed, and Harvey's was recommended. I had the goats cheese tartlet which was delicious. A good selection of herbal teas too. Dogs are allowed in the delightful walled garden. Will definitely going back.

owner could not be bothered to put his own needs before his customers! food preparation was too much bother, he was rude to customers and would help if he could smile occasionally.We wont be going back, there are lots of places better than this.

The best coffee you will ever taste - seriously. Brilliant range of lunches - I can recommend the Tuna Melt - delicious!!

I really love this place. Friendly, laid back and with a really nice vibe. Food is tasty and generous. All round good.

On our way to a vintage and retro fair we called in at Chudleigh for morning coffee with Sally and Simon. This was our second visit and as before the coffee and croissant were excellent.There is also a wonderful selection of cakes and pies, including Homity.The ambiance is good, this is a Wifi and mobile free establishment so you get to chat or read a paper in peace. There is also a garden areaThe loos are quirky, in the basement with a steep and twisted staircase and there are individual flannels in the place of towels. Harveys is quirky and charming, a worthwhile diversion from the A38

Harvey's is a quaint town centre cafe/deli that used to be the town's main grocer/deli. Since being converted some years ago by 'Harvey' and then sold to the current owners, Sally & Simon, it has become the hub of the community. There is a simple but freshly produced menu and a range of sandwiches/baguettes/baps; cakes; pies & pasties. The coffee is excellent and the Latte is the best in the country (one or two unnamed international coffee shops could do well to learn from Sally & Simon how to make a proper latte.)Although Simon runs a 'tight ship' here, when they have time, they both circulate and chat with customers giving it the friendly 'local pub' feel of my title.Always worth a visit, summer or winter. Always the same high standard. A real asset to the town of Chudleigh.

We only went for afternoon tea, but this was excellent. The cake was delicious. We sat in the small garden and this was a very pleasant area.

Great place for lunch - lovely service and great food. Table in window is a good location. Table a bit wobbly but that didn't affect our time there. Very friendly staff.

Great place for morning coffee after aerobics!! lovely staff and nice coffee - also accept well behaved dogs. Can eat outside when weather is with you

Fortunately my sister lives in Chudleigh so i have an excuse to visit Harveys several times a year. This visit we were fortunate enough to be ther on a bistro night, this is small and intimate, only a few tables making it a very friendly environment. the food was great,if you ever get the chance to go and they will be few, make sure you get there. the cafe open daily is just as good and you can always be sure of a warm and friendly welcome. Good coffee, good food...we are thinking about moving closer.

Never have I seen staff with such miserable faces and offhand attitude. In my work I get to spend time every day in cafes and this one is the worst I've ever come across. I asked for brown sugar to go in my tea (I know, it's unusual) and the waitress looked at me as if I was mad. The stairwell to the toilets was filthy and I almost didn't go down there (but had to !). The tea at £1.40 was mediocre. I certainly won't be going there again if I'm in that area.

We only had a couple of cream teas & some Rocky Roads for our two boys. However the service was welcoming & the meals & deserts looked very very appetising. Wish we'd discovered it before.

We booked for their special monthly Dinner & were delighted with the set menus of 3 courses with 2 choices on each plus very reaonable standard wines with their own label. Wine was sourced from France.We also visited on 3 other occasions for light lunch & morning teas & were always amazed at the quality & service in this lovely village which is not overly endowed with such eating establishments.

The coffee was slow in coming but worth the wait, and the cakes we tried were all excellent. Lunches looked good too and lots of locals were using the place, so they seem to rate it highly. it's a bit scruffy from outside but staff welcoming and you don't eat the paint after all!
