Lindsey's Cake and Dessert Shop in Torridge

Dropped in for a cuppa after walking from Instow. Lovely tea and granola cake and really good hot chocolate 🤎. Cosy café feel with a great variety of cakes and pastries. Would highly recommend.

We used to frequent Lyndsey’s a lot when it was in Barnstaple and popped over to Bideford today and couldn’t resist a visit. Cakes and pastries were as delicious as they always were- maybe even better and we were served some really good coffee as well. Brilliant service teamed with excellent value for money means I will try and make the effort to get to Bideford more regularly from now on.

Hadn’t been in here for a while so popped in whilst waiting for a shop to open following lunch. We had Cappuccinos whilst my daughter had a hot sausage roll with hers. Sadly, the coffee taste burnt which we both left. The sausage roll wasn’t well flavoured, just bland. We took it home 4 the doggies. Really disappointed & an expensive wait 4 the shop 2 open!

A wonderful selection of delicious treats. The cheesecakes especially are definitely worth trying with a great variety. We popped in for coffee whilst on holiday and were so impressed we went back 2 days later to try different cakes. Everything was very reasonably priced and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

Beautiful homemade cakes, with a good selection. Big portion and very reasonably priced! Friendly staff, would definitely come back

Fabulous first time visit to Lindsey's and will certainly return! The heavens opened during our day out in lovely Bideford and we decided to seek out a nice coffee pit stop. We discovered Lindsey's and even though there were no seats, staff encouraged us to wait for short while till a table became available. Paul and daughter ordered meat pastie/sausage roll with cherry cheesecake. I ordered vegetarian pastie and raspberry cheesecake. Portion sizes were very generous and cheesecakes were awesome! With drinks, our order came to just over £24 which I consider fair for a tourist town like Bideford. Toilet was spacious, clean and well stocked which was very pleasing. Staff very friendly and helpful when I asked about local knowledge. Lindsey's was very fresh and clean and just the right temperature for us. My only tiny quibble is that I'd like to have the option of skimmed milk for my tea but this isn't worth giving it anything less than a 5 star review. We will certainly return on future visits to lovely Bideford.

An excellent find. Exceptional cakes. Spotless and welcoming. I'd recommend taking the time to visit this gem of a tea shop. Thank you.

Me and my wife stopped here and I had a slice of homemade cheesecake which was very light and tasty and my wife had a snickers desert bar which she really enjoyed and we had a coffee and a coke and a scone all for just over £11, will definitely go again!

What a find! This delightful little cafe was perfect: a warm welcome, spotlessly clean, great coffee, THE most delicious cakes/desserts (the best raspberry cheesecake ever!) and very reasonably priced.

Great carrot cake, best my son has ever had and friendly service Definitely worth visiting ."……………………………………………………….

We were looking for somewhere for something delicious for our lunch & Lindsey’s was perfect! We both had pasties plus a slice of scrumptious Peanut Butter & Chocolate Slice & a generous portion of the Tiramisu Gateau. The selection of cakes was really tempting & the friendly greeting & service by the ladies serving really stood out from the usual chain coffee shops. It was a pleasure to support this independent business!

Lovely fresh cakes and pies. Eat in or takeaway. Clean, tidy and relaxing. Delicious large scones and vey taste roulade. Enjoyed our visit. Thank You Lindsey. 😊

We popped in just as they were closing, so only able to pick up take away cakes. But my goodness they were gorgeous. I had the white chocolate and raspberry roulade. Light, sweet with lumps of white chocolate and raspberry - delicious. My husband had a blueberry muffin. Now normally he only eats half of everything but he went back for the second half! Sad we don't live closer (here on holiday) but would highly recommend.

First time popped in for just a coffee I’d been to a few other cafes in Bideford and this was far the best, the ladies were friendly and welcoming and the coffee was great I’m not a coffee snob, but I only drink fresh coffee and some of the other cafes in the area just left a bad taste after drinking

We were recommended to this place as the best for pasties. Managed to fit our 7 into the corner. Pasties were excellent - I had traditional short crust which was amazing heated up. We couldn’t resist the amazing cake selection - wife had the amazing looking mango cheese cake. I went for a fabulous caramel short bread. Apparently the wife says we are going again - there are 4 other cakes she wants to try !!!

We were looking for somewhere for a cream tea and stumbled upon Linsey's shop whilst walking down the main drag on Bideford's High Street. Well, all I can say is, what a lucky stumbled! A lovely little shop/cafe with a truly gorgeous array of cakes and savories. My wife and son shared a cream tea and I choose the raspberry and white chocolate cheesecake. Nothing was too much trouble and the shop and toilets were emmaculate. We couldn't believe the value, either! £4.50 for the cream tea (you get 2 scones, butter, 2 pots of very good quality local jam and a WHOLE tub of clotted cream (tea was extra) and my cheesecake was only £2.45. We also picked up 2 very tasty large sausage rolls to go for £1.40 each. It is a little bit hidden away but well worth seeking out. Can't recommend enough. Thank you 😊

Absolutely perfect! Friendly engaging staffing. Delicious fresh products at amazing prices! Cream tea for him, rocky Road and treacle tart for me as couldn't decide. Very clean and covid regs in place. They called us to let us know we'd left our brolly too. Lovely people, lovely place.

Lovely staff and cheesecakes,to die for cake's,pasties,sausage rolls etc everything looks delicious , small establishment but you can takeaway food, only problem is with it being in the town where I live I'm going to have to use self control not to keep going in...

If I had to describe this place with one word, I would say, "inconsistent." My first experience here was a banoffee pie, which tasted fresh, fragrent, and delicious. The next time I went here, the "carmel crunch" pie was made incorrectly (lacked the carmel crunch...

I visited Lindseys today for coffee and cake and there was a table available, no further than 1 meter from the front door. I was nearly sat down when I was abruptly told that I had to wear a facemask. When I explained that I was eating in, I was told it doesn't matter I should be wearing one whenever not sat down. I then needed to cover my face again to look in the cake cabinet and to pay at the till. Whilst I completely understand and adhere to the face covering rules, I found this to be very patronising and pernickety. I would love to report that the carrot cake was fantastic as it always has been in the past but it was in fact rubbery with some sort of squirty cream, not cream cheese frosting as expected.

Wonderful carrot and coriander soup and roll, good cup of coffee. Warm relaxing clean and good service. Will visit again. Was also very reasonable!

This is really a cake shop with tables and chairs in it. The cakes are delicious but the cafe part is a little crowded and tired so maybe just pick up a box of gorgeous cakes.

Fantastic coffee shop which serves an array of homemade cakes and the most amazing cheesecakes along with savoury lunches. Very good value for money, always friendly and excellent service. Very popular with locals which says it all!

Really liked the fact that the vast majority of the products on sale were home made and of really good quality the cheesecakes are really amazing, good sandwiches and the best mince pies I have tasted.

Fantastic little cafe, great service, friendly staff, good value for money, the cakes were fantastic really enjoyed our little stop in this cafe definitely worth a coffee break to enjoy the cakes, well presented drinks and cakes.

Visited for a mid morning coffee, got a pleasant greeting, excellent coffees, great chocolate brownies. Also tremendous range of other cakes and a steady flow of customers.

I am 78 years old and recovering from bowel cancer and gall bladder removal. My wife and I have been occasional customers over a number of years. Today I was in town and without warning, urgently needed a toilet. I was passing the shop so...

Have been here a few times for their cheesecake, which is simply delicious. Normally get takeaway so cannot comment on sit in and service.

Had the best service for ordering a beautiful cake for a special occasion. No effort spared, very helpful and friendly with real attention to detail, lovely finished result; the cake looked lovely. And all this being organised over the phone from Australia! Very impressed and...

A small cafe but very friendly with a good lunch menu and cakes to die for. The cheesecake choice is excellent.

Went in for a Coffee and light bite, had what I can only describe as the best cheesecake in the world!!!! I jest you not. 🤔

Had wonderful cream tea. TWO lovely fresh, soft scones (one butter, one fruit) generous pots of strawberry jam and clotted cream, pot of tea (enough for 3 cups) all for £4.95. My husband also had the soup of the day with bread bun. Delicious! Definitely...

Time to use Bideford Laundrete to wash Barnstaple club's Fencing Kit which involves three washing machines followed by four dryers. So machines loaded headed off to find a coffee shop, walked down the High Street and then along Mill Street, came across Lindsey's looked appetizing...

Popped in here whilst waiting for my dog to be groomed. Had tried most of the other tea shops in Bideford which, in my opinion didn't rate a second visit. Lynsey's was lovely & bright inside with a couple of tables to the front, side & to the rear with pretty coverings. The counter area had lots of beautiful cakes on display & a menu offering freshly made sandwiches, paninis , toasted tea cakes & homemade cream teas. The lady serving was very pleasant & the young lady who brought my order to my table was lovely too. Everything seemed reasonably priced, including my small latte which was delicious & pecan/lemon french pastry.

The sandwiches we ordered were very nice, well presented and very tasted, dressed with a little salad and some crisps, actually a lot lot better than I have just made it sound. We looked at what other people weree ordering too and their choices looked very good too. Lots of very sweet looking cakes available too but not something we have tried yet.

This lovely shop is packed with delectable delights for every palette. Decadent, generous and delicious sweet treats are served and it is an absolute must for anyone visiting Bideford!

Fuimos para el té de la mañana y tenía un bollo y mantequilla. El bollo era fresca, pero en mi opinión, bastante seco.

Lindsey's Cake and Dessert shop. Nice pasty, nice cake, nice tea, and a nice smile. Thank you very much.

We like to pop into Lindsey's on our weekend breaks when we come from the West Midlands, the cakes are Great, Always on our places to visit

Dropped in for a coffee and was tempted by their range of cakes staff very friendly small sitting area but they keep it spotless

Pedí una tarta de cumpleaños en el teléfono a menos de una semana antes de venir a la zona de bideford para unas vacaciones con amigos para celebrar el 50 cumpleaños de mi marido.

Visitamos con mi familia y amigos, aunque sólo una pequeña zona de sentarse fue bien vale la pena parar en para café y pasteles. Eran excelentes, especialmente el merengue que tenía. Debe volver

This shop is easy to find, the staff are polite and friendly and the coffee and cake was just right. Next time we are in the area, we will go again.

We tasted one of Lyndseys cakes in a Cafe at Westward Ho! So off the back of that went to the actual shop the next day. We were not disappointed. We took away Cheesecake slices, cake slices and scones. All were boxed and secured ensuring all arrived home in excellent condition. We were served by a lovely lady who could not have been nicer. Have spread the word via social networking that you are the best (:

I have always experienced good service and great value at Lindsay's. The cafe is cosy and warm and the staff are very helpful and great with children. The cakes and pastries are really good value and taste delicious. I would highly recommend it for a break from shopping!

A small and friendly tea and coffee shop with a lot of tempting snacks. Very helpful to those less mobile than others.

Called in whilst shopping in Bideford. Warm welcome but could not seat 6 all together so had to split tables but was not a problem. Teas and Coffees were nice - not cheap - did not try the cakes but they did look yummy. Five star rating for hygiene which is nice to see.

Get a loyalty card u will need it ! Very friendly welcome, great tea and coffee, the hot choc with the works is great, nice for a light lunch or afternoon tea and cake, best selection of cheese cake anywhere.We have used it since it opened, best place to meet your pals for coffee I know of.

The cream tea's are lovely and the café is very clean and tidy. The staff are great and always ready to help. My favourite is their hot chocolate with one of the many yummy cakes they have on offer. Yes we will be back again the next visit to Bideford.

Today we went to Lindsey's for a cream tea, it was very quiet in the cafe just us and another table and everything was lovely from the fresh cream scones to my tea except the background music was very rocky

Fab little place, lovely cakes, lovely friendly amd helpful staff, lovely coffee and hot chocolate ! Highly recommended!

Had a cup of tea and a coffee here while visiting Bideford it is a nice café and would visit again to maybe try the cakes which looked very good

This is one of the 'gem' cafés in Bideford. I hadn't been in for a while but it's still as good as it ever was. Coffee tastes great and if you like cream cakes then you're in for a treat, they're all home made By Lindsey I believe. This is not the largest cafe in Bideford but it's worth waiting for a table.

We didn't have anything fancy, but what we did have was fantastic!! The best sausage roll I've ever had!!.the waitress so great and thoughtful as she saw we had tablets to take, and just got us some water . Nice place, I'd definitely go again!

Lovely home made cakes. A nice warm and friendly atmosphere. Tables and chairs a bit small and uncomfortable

This little gem is tucked away in Mill Street - go up Bideford High Street, take the first right and its tucked in just past the Co-Op supermarket. There are some tables for eat-in, but I use it for buying cakes for special treats [and for birthday cakes and dinner parties] The Baileys Cheesecake is simply wonderful - but there are plenty of others to choose from, and also superb butterfly cakes, muffins, scones and small desserts. The large [whole] cheesecakes can be made to order and are extremely good value they make wonderful desserts for special dinner parties - [you could always pretend you had done them yourself, but I doubt you would be believed!!!] They also have a franchise for Blackwells pasties - the best in the west - try one!

This is a brilliant little cake shop, love it, but it is playing havoc with my waiste line, They also have a branch in Barnstaple, wow I love that one too!

The best I have ever had. Verrey hard to say which cake is the best and then you must try the dessert's you will be amassed.

I only popped in for a coffee, as I had time to kill before an appointment, but was tempted beyond my ability to resist by the luscious cakes on offer.,.I was not disappointed! The coffee was excellent (no cheap instant coffee here!), and the cake was scrumptious. My only complaint is that I finished the truly delicious cake too soon.Not the cheapest place to stop off, but I would certainly do it again.

Lovely sponge cake made for my parents wedding anniversary. Also great cheesecakes in lots of flavours.

Went in and was very impressed by the selection and price of the cakes on offer.After much debate settled for a fresh cream scone but the Banoffee pie will be tried if in the area again. Tried a bite of the cheesecake and this was lovely - good value for money too for eating in.Coffees were good and service was friendly. Even got a large Latte instead of a medium.Only downside (apart from being 200 miles away) is that the cafe was very warm / stuffy.

The range of cakes and pastries was lovely,don't go in if on a diet as they are impossible to resist<LOL>.I tried the cheesecakes and doughnuts on different visits.Lovely coffee.good view of street from window tables.closed on Sundays.worth a visit for a treat or to keep kids quiet with giant cakes<LOL>.

Staff were unhelpful and rude and this resulted in us walking out in disgust. Don't bother visiting if you want service with a smile or service of any kind for that matter.

Very good coffee, amazing cakes and puds that are huge and very yummy. Staff friendly too. You can actually buy whole puddings and cakes to take away and serve at home or for the picnic or you can just buy a slice with a latte or something. Love the Baileys cheese cake.

Oh my life, the cheesecakes here were fantastic! A massive selection and probably a zillion calories a go but really nice and very reasonably priced. The place definitely lacked character though. We thought it would be quaint and homely, but actually the interior was very modern and a bit dirty. The staff weren't overly friendly but the cakes made up for it. The toilet stank of sick which was a real low-point but if it's cakes you're after, there's a very good selection on offer here!!

Always have lovely cakes and pastries there, beautifully fresh, generous portions and very reasonable prices. I also always find the staff pleasant and friendly

We chanced by this restaurant/cake shop on a few days out.They young lady serving was super with a lovely jolly/friendly personality. The cakes looked and tasted fantastic there were 4 of us [and I had 2 cakes!!]Lovely coffees and pots of tea too all excellent value. I now see they have won awards as well.PS We went back a second day too between 3 and 4 pm.OH DEAR what a difference. The lovely young lady was gone and there were 3 guys behind the counter.The attitude was awful. There were no hot sausage rolls left so we asked if they could warm a cold one. No chance. The tea and coffee was unceremoniously banged down in front of us. We did not bother with cakes then, and nearly walked out. The couple behind us 4 got the same and DID walk out.What a shame.I hope it sorts itself out as it is award winning. Not certain what the problem was or why. They did close at 4.30 pm but hey business is business surely and we were out before then.The rating is for our first visit!!
