Cafe Review: A Hidden Gem in Ilfracombe Tucked away in the charming town of Ilfracombe, we had the delightful fortune of discovering a quaint little café that has quickly become one of our favorites. Initially, we stumbled upon it in search of a comforting cuppa, but what we found exceeded our expectations in every possible way. The atmosphere of the café is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy a break from our adventures. The decor strikes a delightful balance of cozy and quirky, adding to the charm that makes you want to linger a little longer. It’s a wonderful place to sit back and watch the world go by. One of the highlights of our visits has undoubtedly been the famous "spooky milkshakes" — a fun and whimsical treat that my son absolutely adores. The café offers an impressive variety of these shakes, each more enticing than the last. It’s not just the taste that makes them special; the vibrant presentation and creative names evoke a sense of fun that keeps us coming back for more. And then there are the cakes. OH, the cakes! Every slice we’ve tried has been a testament to the café's commitment to quality. In short, this lovely little café in the heart of Ilfracombe is a treasure worth seeking out. Whether you’re in the mood for a whimsical milkshake, a decadent slice of cake, or just a peaceful spot to unwind, this gem truly has it all. We look forward to many more visits, and I can’t recommend it highly enough to anyone searching for a delightful café experienc

Awesome cream tea, freshly baked scone, lovely service and dog friendly. Will definitely recommend, and be sure to return on our next visit to Devon

The cafe is bright, cheerful and the staff super friendy. The cakes are super special, if you like cake and chocolate, this is heaven on earth. Enjoyed our two visits, but will be returning soon, need to try all the cakes on offer!!!!!!!!!

Great little cafe. Lovely breakfast and knowledgeable about gluten free. Good hot coffee and good service. What more can anyone want?

Lovely cafe and nice atmosphere. The staff were very friendly. We had the cookie pies and they were amazing. Highly recommend

Popped in for a cup of tea and decided to have one of there very appealing looking cakes while there. Even had to pick my partner up one for him to have when he got home. Was absolutely lovely and also they do a loyalty card for deserts when bought when you buy 10 you get 1 free. Will certainly return. Staff so lovely and chatty with smiles on face which is nice to see in this day and age.

Love this place for take away deserts. The carrot cake and brownies are delicious. Would definitely recommend. Always helpful and friendly too.

Little Mama's catered an evening buffet at our home, for 40 Family and guests after our wedding. they delivered to our home whilst we were out at our reception. The display of food was amazing, without exception all our guests were impressed, more importantly, the quality was just perfect, the amount was spot on. Made our brilliant day that much more special. The pricing was spot on. Ken and Anne Charnock

What a amazing tea room ..... I've eaten here many times and every time had an amazing warm welcome. they have on 2 occasions bent over backwards to help me with my nieces birthday arrangements and my sister gluten intolerance. the breakfast is top quality, and the cream teas are lovely and really recommend if our ever around then pop in and see for yourself

My daughter and I have been enjoying yummy cakes and drinks every Wednesday (while my son attends a club) since February this year. We were grateful to find somewhere open on Ilfracombe highstreet during the winter... and by chance we found an absolute gem! Wednesdays' have become "cookie cafe" day and it's a pleasure every single week! The owners are some of the most lovely people we've met. They treat us like friends each time we walk through the door! The cakes are delicious and fresh, with new flavours appearing regularly. We recently drove over from Barnstaple especially to try their breakfast, which was also very nice indeed! Highly recommended! Our week wouldn't been the same without Little Mama's midweek pick-me-up, and good conversation.

Lovely breakfast and great choice of options. And the pots of tea are amazing….love a good cuppa xx

I love Little Mama's. I have been buying their cakes and cookies to takeaway since they opened, they are always fresh and delicious. I have also had breakfast on a couple of occasions which is also very good. Today I went in with my son for a treat before going back to school tomorrow. He had a milkshake, which was amazing and got free ice-cream with his cookie pie because it was so hot today. Always excellent friendly service, calm atmosphere and spotlessly clean.

I was really shocked to see some very silly and untrue reviews on here about this place. I am local and use regularly. Lovely welcome, service and great breakfast. After 11.30 things are also fabulous as you can eat home made delicious cakes. A wonderful couple running the business. Stands out in ilfracombe as one of the classy tea rooms.

10 out of 10 just amazing we had a Aliced in wonderland afternoon tea for my birthday and it was fantastic, well catered for as 2 veggie and a meat eater and the theme was carried though out the whole afternoon tea.

Brilliant breakfast, amazing service from chap working, nothing was too much trouble. Very good value for money and an extremely clean cafe. Very pretty venue with good attention to detail Will 1000% be back in near future :)

I come here quite a lot now and everything i get is really good, the owners are very friendly so me and my partner love coming here

Fantastic little find and well received after a long walk/cycle along the cycle path. Great ice creams and even better milkshakes. Lovely owners and a great atmosphere, thoroughly recommend. Thank you

Freindly welcome, beautifully decorated, extremely chocolaty cakes, great service and value, accompanied by a piping hot latte.

Lovely little cafe such a nice change to get a lovely hot cuppa cappuccino tastes so nice. Wasn’t gonna have. Cake but with such an amazing choice of brownies had to have one and so pleased I did. Mint brownie had so much flavour and cooked to perfection.

The problem with this cafe is that the accommodation is cramped, and it refuses to offer anything cooked after 1130am. Who really wants to eat cakes for lunch? I asked for something savoury, but no, 'we don't do that after 1130'. We now go to the Coffee Break at the other end of the High Street. When Little Mamas, which is an absurd name for a cafe, was the Manor House Cafe, it served great food all day. Not any more. You have to have your cake and eat it.

Cafe with a lovely atmosphere. Very friendly owners. Can highly recommend the cream tea. Amazing, warm, home made scones. Great selection of cakes and pastries.

Great freindly service and lovely food. Nice freshly cooked and tasty. Even got a spin the wheel for a birthday treat. Walk to the end of high street and visit this lovely little cafe. You'll enjoy it and it's dog friendly too.

A great find - home made cakes and a friendly atmosphere. Plenty of choice as far as cakes were concerned! It was very clean and we were made very welcome.

Our first cream tea in Devon. The couple serving were so nice, we nearly ordered two cream teas but clearly one was enough for us both. They did not have to point that out. Their spoon collection is amazing, well worth stealing. Only kidding, fans...
