Latte & Lunch in Torridge

Popped in on off chance for lunch. Ordered a toastie and dirty fries each. The toasties were delivered relatively swiftly but no sign of the fries. Had to start eating toastie before it went cold & asked twice about the fries to be told 'they're just coming'. My husband had finished his sandwich before the fries arrived. The 2 kitchens obviously weren't communicating on orders. We wanted them together not as separate courses! Shame as food was lovely but make sure you tell them you want things together.

Great coffee and cake, right on the bottom of the high street, nice staff very friendly good prices. What a view

This was our second visit here this year. The food and service was good. We had jacket potatoes which were hot enough to melt the cheese.

It's a standard menu and the service is fine. Nice to see the estuary but noisy traffic if you sit outside . On the value end so it's OK

We went in this afternoon to have a hot chocolate, knowing the place does not shut until 5. Although our drinks were lovely, the staff were closing around us, making us feel very unwelcome and unwanted. I get that it was quiet but maybe don’t make it so obvious that you don’t want customers there? Especially when you’re not meant to be closing for another hour and a half.

This place has the most amazing food, delicious homemade cakes, fab ice cream shakes and yummy fruit smoothies! The staff here are super friendly and it is one of my favourite places to visit when I’m in Bideford ☺️💕

We like latte and lunch and pop in for coffee on a regular basis.sometimes have a jacket potato or panini if we are there lunchtimes.The coffee is very good,and 35p cheaper than the coffee shop on the other end of the quay.The food is fresh and tasty and very well priced.You can sit inside or out,and they always have the newspapers and supplements on Saturdays.There is a young chap works there,who I havent seen for a couple of weeks so Im hoping he hasnt left because he is a super little worker,and really friendly and chatty.Unfortunately the older ladies in there,think they are possibly the owners,need some customer service training.Very abrupt and unfriendly manner when serving,no greeting when you come in the door or when being served.As a local,it really puts me off.My other gripe is,altho there are sachets of sugar on the tables outside,the sugar on the tables inside are sugar lumps which are pretty unhygenic.I saw a small child one Saturday running her hands through the bowl,too many people handling,breathing ,sneezing,coughing over these for my liking.Otherwise its a good place for coffee,breakfast,light lunch

Great quayside cafe offering a variety of light meals, sandwiches, cakes, etc. At the time of our visit on a sunny Sunday lunchtime it was very busy but service was still friendly and efficient. The sandwiches were freshly prepared on granary or white bread and were very good. Well worth visiting, particularly on a Sunday when many other cafes in Bideford do not open.

Stopped here after staying overnight in a local hotel on room only basis - amazing veggie breakfast with a fab pot of earl grey tea - generous sized pot too. Sat outside watching the world go by. Prompt service , lovely staff. Dog water bowl. Always busy.

We stopped here during a Bank Holiday visit to Bideford for a bite to eat, Had a variety of sandwiches and some chips on the side. Staff were very pleasant and helpful and the food was good value. Sat outside on the Quayas it was a warm day and we had our dog with us.

We've been cycling on Devon C2C in the pouring rain. This cafe was amazing!! Two drowned rats were really made welcome. Given rugs to keep warm. And the coffee and walnut cake was the best. Very highly recommended...

Thus is a very good place to eat. The location is good. The food was amazing, the service was great. Well worth a visit for food.

Needed a good breakfast, wondered on in and really happy with the service and great food. Should of gone here more often b

It is good to support an independent business instead of the chain shops but this one let the side down badly. The request was for a cheese and onion sandwich on granary bread. Easy. The sliced bread must have been exposed to the air for some little time and had a certain hardness. The cheese was the cheapest sort of grated Cheddar and not very tasty and there was practically no onion. On being told that the sandwich was not very nice, the rather slovenly waitress said "You could have had more onion if you'd asked" - like I am going to go into a cafe and supervised how they make a sandwich. Very poor, how can they go so far wrong with making a sandwich? Not going back.

Stopped here whilst out for a bike ride. Perfect place for refreshments. Coffee very good and in a mug! Good choice of snacks and light meals, all very reasonably priced. Sit in or out, we sat out as it was such a lovely day. Food delivered with a smile! Thank you to all the staff.

Friendly service but that's not the best bit... after a weekend tour of Cornwall we are heading back towards the big smoke and these folks served us the best coffee we've had all weekend! Marvellous. Bacon and egg bap, and the sausage and egg bap, were in a word OUTSTANDING. Highly recommendsd

The food was lovely but despite 3 people being behind the counter I had to wait whilst they tidied round before they could take my order. The service was slow and the attitude of the older woman was awful....though the younger waitress was better. The food was good but I wouldn't go back - I felt I was putting them out all the time and the smell in the toilet was well....gross.

This could be a great little place with it's location but the lady who owns it needs a lesson in customer service and just general manners. Never come across someone front of house so rude, which is just not acceptable in this day and age.

Stopped here for coffe and cake. Party of four. Young male staff were very polite and quick to ask for our orders. All served promptly, with a smile. Tasty cakes/cookies. I got a huge pot of tea to myself(& drank the lot!). Place was clean and tables were cleared quickly once vacated. Definitely pop in again if visiting Bideford.

This was our second visit and we were left disappointed again. Our first visit was for breakfast but sadly had to leave hungry after waiting over an hour. Today we went for a takeaway lunch, despite being quiet & having 3 staff there was still a long wait. Tuna mayo sandwich had no mayo, the pulled pork was nice. Over priced for average quality.

We arrived on spec late on a Saturday afternoon in August. We'd just arrived in town and the pavement tables looked inviting for a drink and a sit down.

They do allow dogs but we sat outside as a lovely day. My teenage son had the cadburys caramel milkshake which was yummy and I had the fentimans mandarin pop which was nice. Nice View as well.

We enjoyed delicious smoothies and juices. Having water jugs available was excellent. The chose of meals was great. Ploughmans were particularly successful. The tuna wraps were nicely filled. Lovely place.

Stoped here her a few times now and had breakfast this morning and the sausage and egg muffin was delicious. Nicely toasted and set us up for a day of walking. Staff are always very helpful and dogs are welcome inside and out.

This place has wasted its potential. It could be good with the right management, but it is failing as it has poor quality coffee and tea.The standard of front of house housekeeping is dreadful. The floor seems only to be cleaned end of day, the tables are always sticky and even the seating needs a good clean - removable covers on the cushions of the few chairs which have them would help, they could then wash the tomaton sauce and other stains off!

Went in here immediately after it first opened and it was completely disorganised, with average food and poor service. We put it down to being recently opened and gave it another chance for breakfast recently.It's still disorganised and the service and cleanliness leave a lot to be desired - i think it was probably cleaner when it was a kebab shop. Won't be giving it another chance.

Went in for a latte with my mother and the queue stretched throughout the length of the cafe. There seemed to be insufficient staff for the volume of customers. It took 10 minutes to place my order at the bar and was told the latte would be brought outside when made. I'd already decided to opt for a cold coke and said I would take it from the fridge there and then and drink from the tin. It took a further 15 minutes for the latte to arrive. The menu was quite good, offering a wide variety of meals but I think they are being over ambitious to try and manage the customer/menu ratio on current cafe staffing levels

I didnt stay long but i got an ice cream. If you can get the one your after or not its really nice. Yum?

Salads were absolutely scrummy, lovely to find a place that serves such a mixed plateful, with really fresh ingredients

Me and my partner visited Devon on a very rainy week (typical for us really). After being out in the cold and driving around we chose to stop off her for a latte and cake.The staff were very friendly, the food was delish. The place in general is very sweet. And clean.

Nice little cafe, only popped in for drinks. Soya milk stocked so I had a soya latte, very nice coffee. Only critique - it wasn't very busy, so the staff's quite loud conversations to each other was a little intrusive. Other than that, very nice place.

Lovely presented shop. Tables out side meaning you walk through a cloud of cigarette smoke to gain access. Inside was nicely set out and friendly ish staff...didn't explain actions correctly and wandered from till as I stood thereCoffee is where it falls down. They offer a big selection but unfortunately they are not Barista's so I had a very badly made drink that was way to hot and unfortunately did not enjoy one bit. Brush up on your skills and recipes needed!

Nice clean cafe on the front with tasty & sensibly priced food. Staff were pleasant & very polite. DP

Were in Devon for a weeks holiday and called into Bideford for the day. Some friends had been down the week before and recommended we try it. Had a ploughmans lunch, and weren't disappointed. Dog friendly too, bowls of water out by the tables on the front which out two pups really appreciated.

Lovely little café. We were greeted in a friendly manner. Cakes looked delicious (Millionaire's Shortbread was gorgeous!).

We stopped by chance whilst on Tarka trail - the service was very good appeared to be family run. The cakes were fantastic as was the sausage roll!

Holiday at Bideford Bay holiday park, headed into Bideford before checking in and found Latte and Lunch. Excellent food and service and a beautiful location.....wish it had been open in the evenings for a glass of wine. Would definitely visit again.

Dirty tables, menus,condiments and floor but decided to stay after reading recent reviews. Most dissatisfied with the service we received on ordering, considering it wasn't busy we were shocked and decided to leave. Such a shame as so much potential in a fantastic location.

Being on the quay this is close to all of the incoming bus routes. We arrived towards the end of what might be considered lunchtime, at about 2:15 pm. We were served promptly and cheerfully with a light lunch. There was a reasonably large choice. We were well satisfied, prices were reasonable. Given the opportunity we would happily go again

Nice cafe on the quayside in Bideford. We enjoyed lunch in the sun sitting outside the front of the cafe in our first day in Bideford. The cafe was busy and service was a little slow, but lunch was good. We returned for breakfast on our 2nd day as for some bizarre reason our hotel stops doing breakfast early. Service was slightly slow as breakfast was freshly cooked - no complaints. Food was tasty and good value. Would be happy to recommend.

This was a spur of the moment decision to have lunch here. I can honestly say it was delicious, we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. The staff were very friendly and helpful, wish i got the name of the person who i thought stood out. We will be coming back here again. Thank you.

Having driven down from Cardiff crack of dawn to join the Lundy Island supply ship MV Oldenburg sailing from Bideford Quay - we were hungry! Found just opposite the harbour this charming little Café / Tea Room / Coffee Shop. We were in a bit of a hurry as it was was not long to sailing time. The two charming ladies bid us welcome and assured us no problem - we could have breakfast and quickly.I had full English and lady wife had American style pancakes etc It was simply wonderful everything done so nicely, such quality food, great service and at a reasonable price. What more could one ask, then to just join our ship for the adventure and thrill of a wonderful week on Lundy - Life does not get much better!BLISS!

We stopped here for a light lunch whilst visiting Bideford. Service was friendly and efficient, we ordered ham, cheese and tomato toasties - the granary bread was delicious and the cheese very flavoursome (not bland and plastic as you sometimes get). Good choice of indoor and outdoor seating - also a selection of newspapers available for customers. Worth a visit for light meal or snack.

Dropped in for lunch, just passing by, a nice comfortable feel. Staff very professional, good selection for lunch. Great food and portion size... spot on.

Met some friends for lunch on 13/4/16, food was delicious I had a cheese and ham bap with chips and the bap was massive and fresh. Well worth the money. Would eat here again :)

Pouring with rain at Bideford, my mother and I chanced upon this lovely little cafe, it was warm and cosy inside, a well priced, interesting menu. Three cheerful young men serving, good service and lovely toasted sandwiches, obviously popular with the locals.

Lovely venue for a coffee or light light meal. Panini choices are really nice. Staff are friendly and attentive. Have been there a couple of times, a nice break. Next time we're going to try the breakfast.

Great for vegetarians as the staff know their products ie cheese free from rennetThe lady that served us was a vegetarian so that was a bonusAlso they did soya milk and we found this to be the only cafe in the area to do soFriendly, clean, good food, great cuppa and excellent service!Also cater for small familiesOverlooking the quay so brill location

Went here for an early brunch with my daughter. It looked very pleasant from the outside, situated on the quay with a nice view. Inside, the cafe was nice & clean looking. We sat in the conservatory seats & ordered our food at the counter. My bacon roll arrived first but I did not want to start it until my daughters order was served. We spotted a sandwich on the counter from where we were sat & wondered if it could be the tuna sandwich we were waiting for. After 6 minutes I called out to the assistant that we were still waiting for the sandwich & asked if the one sat on the counter in front of her could possibly be it. She said she was sorry & hadn't noticed that it had come out from the kitchen though I noted a couple of people had paid over the top of the sandwiches!! The food was Ok but a tad pricey we thought as it was quite plain fayre. Besides waiting for the food, the door was on the latch permanently which made the area pretty drafty. I got up a total of 7 times to close the door as it either blew open or was left open by customers coming & going, including the postman! It was quite uncomfortable & indeed chilly. Shame really. I won't be back.

Stopped during a shopping trip for a coffee, service was good, coffee and cake delicious.Surprisingly large inside with plenty of seating.

As you park on the quay latte and lunch is right opposite it looks clean and inviting , has chairs and tables outside as well as indoors. The food was good and coffee excellent, worth a visit !

Benn here several times and the coffee is wonderful, a lovely blend. Service has always been good. Highly recommended.

On the opposite side of the road by the water you'll find Latte & Lunch, a nice place to grab a cafe lunch. They have all the usual foods; paninis, rolls, salads, etc. Plus they have some nice cakes and a good coffee selection.Kind of small inside but we were able to go in with our buggy and sit comfortably with our 2 year old daughter. They also had tables and chair out the front so if the weather is ok you could sit outside. Baby changing was in their normal toilet with a changing may they provided, a bit small inside but I got the job done.Good food and friendly staff, would go again.

A very pleasant place to eat, right on the quay front. Open on a Sunday too. I like the choice of breakfast available. It's like being at home but someone else foes the cooking and washing up!

Been here before had yet another great experience ! Staff very friendly and a clean and well priced lunch. My child had hotdogs and chips and I had a ham salad baguette great value for money will be coming back.

I went in for lunch yesterday as it had been recommended by my friends. I ordered a ham, brie, and cranberry baguette but got a hot dog style roll! A baguette is supposed to have a crispy outer crust. The salad dressing was nice but overall i was really disappointed.

Stopped here for lunch. Staff were polite, food and drinks were fine and the prices reasonable. I believe this is a fairly new venture and wish them all the best of luck, particularly as some of the adverse comments have come straight out of the book entitled " Nitpickers and Sourgrapes "

Been here a few times now and each time the service gets worse. They are very disorganised with the service and currently the food quality just about balances it. Had to wait 10 minutes after one cup of coffee had been given for the other coffee to arrive as well as the cinnamon rolls that had been ordered. Yes we had been told that coffees may be a little while as they had a backlog but it doesnt mean that the rolls could not have been brought out at the same time as BOTH coffees. I really hope they improve as it has a good position on the quay and the food is actually quite nice.

Here on our summer break- come here a lot to Biddeford lovely traditional little town hussly bussily and friendly!! Missed this place opened a week after we left last year what a truly lovely place!! Beautifully decorated super clean super value!! Food was nice and hot - the minuses not too many - speed of food coming out could have been a bit quicker we only had scrambled eggs on toast but when it came it was lovely! Toilet is definitely compact and bijou !! Only room for one small one at a time no mirror but that's being picky- mirror not compulsory (especially with my mug! ) will defiantly return!!! Super!!

My little boy (4 years old) wanted pancakes and he got pancakes!! , Nutella was not on the menu but they made sure he got his chocolate spread. Mummy and daddy had a full English breakfast and it was just perfect. Definitely returning :)

Super helpfull, friendly staff. The biggest freshest salad was a complete surprises and could have feed the two of us. The panini came with a lovely side salad and nachos . The list of what to chose from the drinks menu ended with the freshest iced tea and a latte to die for , the coffee in this place is second to none . Will defiantly be a regular

We stopped for lunch after we'd driven past a few times during our holiday and thought it looked really nice from the outside. There was a good range of food on the menu, although there were no sandwich options for children. We ordered sandwiches (I ordered a baguette and was presented with a sub roll, which the waitress said was a baguette) and they were nice enough and the salad was nicely presented. The service was ok, but they were struggling to get hot drinks out quickly. The toilet is very small and no room to change a baby, it obviously hadn't been checked as the bin was over flowing and looked awful. Overall we had a nice lunch and it was good value for money, but I think a little more attention to detail would make all the difference here.

We visited Latte and Lunch for a light lunch and very much enjoyed our visit.The food was freshly prepared, excellent value for money, and served with a smile.I had a children's meal of tomato and pasta, and it was absolutely delicious!My husband had a tuna salad which he also enjoyed.The restaurant is bright and airy and faces the quayside, so a nice place to sit and watch the world go by.The staff were very helpful and friendly and they really made the experience.All round a great value for money place to eat or drink!

Went for lunch. Decent prices, reasonable range of savouries, two cakes on offer plus tray bakes and cookies. Service was a bit chaotic, didn't seem coordinated. Food was decent but not outstanding.

Newly renovated by innovative ladies - get a nice breakfast there and on a sunny day you can sit outside and watch people pass by. Soon they will also offer Ice creams. But try the chocolate fuge cake. It is delicious and melting on your tongue. Thre are also light lunches served - real English and authentically perpared.

We stopped here for a bite to eat today, really impressed. The food and service was brilliant, and the coffee was good quality as well.I would highly recommend. The only thing stopping it from getting 5/5 was that each individual good item was brought out separately so by the time my panini came out, the wife had nearly finished her scone. But for us that was a minor gripe on what was a nice experience

A nice, freshly cooked breakfast with good tea and coffee. We had a small and a large breakfast (which came with toast) and 3 people had lovely pancakes. All food was fresh, tasty and served by friendly staff.

Back in Bideford and Devon after a two year absence. Latte and Lunch are very new which explains why we had not seen it before. Anyway, we had lunch there and very good it was too. The prices are amazing, service good and staff friendly and helpful. This place deserves to succeed and the fact they are in a prominent position should help. We returned during the second week of our holiday(down from Glasgow) and hope the are still flourishing when we are next back in Devon. All good wishes.

Lovely and clean, nice atmosphere and good quality food. Not much variety on the menu but perfectly good for a quick bite.

Nice location always look busy inside, went there for breakfast with my partner he had a big breakfast I had normal breakfast, it was not many choice for the food menu , we had scramble eggs taste like school eggs, tomato is like steam tomato and mushrooms have to pay extra for , coffee is average never again !

Lovely food and reasonably priced. A bit disappointed that they had run out of the first 2 of my choices yet i still found something else to tickle my taste-buds. An positive addition to Bideford :)
