Mad Hatters Cafe in Teignbridge

Very nice cafe tucked away in Newton Abbot, great surroundings, good food, lovely staff. Perfect for a meet up, chat, and of course something to eat fro an excellent menu.

Last minute decision to have lunch, was late as almost 2.30 but still expected quality service and food. Service at till no problem, food was awful though! Soup looked like pond sludge and so bland. No one checked if food ok, and no comment on full bowls when table cleared. Sorry won't be visiting again.

Amazing place quirky interior friendly staff great value and the food is wow and doggy friendly you would be mad as a hatter not to give this place a go you will be surprised

hospitably- helpful; with bit of old, tea cups & saucers old & new can together. Improvement with downstairs toilet

Nice latte and tea cake at this quirky cafe in Bodmin. Staff were friendly and we would visit again.

I use this cafe with my wife when in Newton Abbot and we are always satisfiedThe food is freshly prepared

Nice food, friendly staff, good prices. Everything you need for a cafe. My daughter loves the 'teddy bears picnic'.

Traditional food and a comfy venue with a relaxed atmosphere. Staff are very friendly and content.Been before many times and will be back again. 😁

Worst and most disorganised place I have been to.Breakfast and a hot drink seems to be too much for them to cope with.2 kids running front of house,witnessed them using hands instead of using tongs provided for coffee biscuits,my advice stay away.From the amount of people in there they are.

Lovely friendly staff food was amazing wasn’t a long wait definitely go back lovely cafe easy to find

I often take family members to the Mad Hatters at Newton Abbot. We always have a lovely meal and the staff are always friendly.

Wow lovely food tucked away in a quiet place and very welcoming food is flavoursome and proper portions

we had friends to stay so we called on whilst out looking around the shops. We ordered various items, which took it appeared a long time to arrive. One of our guest ordered the soup of the day, only for the waitress to return to say the soup was not up to standard so would not be served. Very strange.

Popped into here for lunch with our three yearbook old. Not all places are welcoming but could not fault here. Good kids menu with good portion sizes. Also actually engaged with him and made him feel like a customer too. Good place if you want good home cooking for kids and adults as well.

Came in today with a group of friends for lunch, sat out in the front part of the cafe. We ordered a medium breakfast and a small breakfast and a few other things, to which we were brought two small breakfasts, which was in time resolved, but the two young ladies which were more than helpful dealt with the situation, a member of higher authority/management did not come to apologise, or resolve the situation and was left up to the very busy girls to sort. I feel that the cafe could be better organised by management, however once we got the correct food we thouroughly enjoyed it and would recommend people to come here but not in busy periods.

Reading some of the other reviews and wonder what the people of Newton Abbot rate as first class service. Waited over 40 minutes for 3 coffees and 1 tea. Rest Assured we will not be back, only visit if you are prepared to nip to Costas down the road, have a coffee, drink it and then return and still wait to be served.

Very friendly.outstanding service very reasonably priced food which is well presented,tasty and of perfect quantity.

We go there every Tuesday and meet up with our Deaf friends and this place the owners are well known to the deaf people as there is a deaf man who’s family run the cafe there. It’s very comfortable and the food are very good and very friendly staff, we enjoy our weekly being with them. It’s on level and can park wheelchair or scooter outside no problems st all a very friendly place to be .

Had lunch here today with my Father. Wonderful choice on the menu and great quality home-cooked food. Recommended!

We are now regulars here. The food is "proper" home cooked food. All cooked and made fresh. Elaine and her staff and brilliant.

This cafe is good value for money and plenty of choice. Service is friendly. The breakfast is very good and no problems with swapping items. The main meals are also excellent. Would recommend a visit as an ideal break when shopping.

I just love this place and every time I'm in the area I pop in. The food is so yummy all fresh and handmade.

Friendly cafe in Newton abbott serving the best cooked breakfasts, well worth a visit when you’re out and about here

Wonderful cafe. The staff are all helpful and friendly. Always willing to help and accommodate additional needs. That’s why we always choose this cafe over others in Newton Abbot

when shopping or visiting the livestock auctions in newton abbot it is good to take time out in a great little café like this one. The staff have always got a welcome for you, the food is good and plenty to choose from. Hot drinks are actually hot and everything fairly priced.

£50.00 per head for three course lunch with coffee and mince pies. Had to order in advance. Seemed good, friendly and clean and had good reviews. Found £50 per head a bit steep but thought it is Christmas and must be good. Asked for a

Lovely staff, friendly service and good food. Visited on a Sunday morning. Not too busy. Great little cafe.

I have visited there on numous occasions. They provide really excellent home cooked food. Their roast dinners are to die for.

Popped in here for lunch with my 21month old son. It's a quirky layout with plenty of seating. The young lady that served us outside was very helpful. She used her initiative to provide a straw for his drink and got him more juice without question. Would visit again and recommend.

An excellent cafe offering good quality no nonsense home made food. Good size portions with a friendly team. If you are looking for a scrumptious breakfast or lunch then you can't go wrong. Good selection of cakes for an afternoon treat as well.

Great Place to eat Great breakfast will fill you up and they have the Vetarans Breakfast club there which shows a great support by the owners and staff who are all ways friendly

Just popped in to refule and relax for a bit . The service at the front desk was good coffee good and the fruit bread with butter went down a treat .

Serves very good food and excellent tea and coffee .Excellent menu with plenty of different food and cakes Very friendly and helpful staff.

We visit Madhatters regularly and cannot fault it. The staff are friendly and will do anything for you. The food is lovely and would highly recommend the afternoon tea, the scones are yum. They do a great children's menu too.

A nice place to pop in for just a cuppa' or a ful blown home style cooked meal, served by friendly capable staff. This is a gem of a cafe.

Had an all day breakfast . Very nice food ~ ridiculous plates , so small . Cheap paper napkins .. ( 1 ply & useless ) milk shakes warm . Nice coffee . Quick and friendly service

Sitting out in the sunshine with a lovely cappucino, what could be better? I don't know why this place isn't busier, the staff are lovely and friendly and the coffee is much nicer than costa.The ?owners were really kind to my young son and the ice cream was delicious. Highly recommended.

This cafe offers a lot and is a brillant place to refresh having explored this exciting town so far. Staff excellent, it is cosy and not like some which are bustling but what you get here is just that little extra attention.Food of the highest standard brought to you with the old fashion service. The cafe is located at the far end of the just past the Clock Tower but before Carpet Right and Austin Furniture store. You will not miss it as outside is the flag of the Royal Engineers and the Union Jack with some tables outside if the weather is playing ball.

Popped in for morning coffee and got tempted by the cakes as they looked so good. Great setting and staff, nice and relaxed for a morning coffee.

This lovely restaurant is right at the end of the town by the famous clock tower. Search it out, you will not be disappointed. The staff, the food, the atmosphere are all great. A lovely place to stop either part way through or after shopping, or to treat someone.

super little café well worth a visit if in newton abbot home cooked food friendly staff and really great service and great value

Had a breakfast inside a bit smelly with all the frying , but breakfast ok for the money , satisfying enough , nothing special

Lovely little cafe and to be honest we have tried all the cafes in Newton Abbot and have to say this one is the best it offers proper homecooked food with fresh not frozen veg. A varied menu and you can get a proper meal or just a snack. Lovely cakes on offer and friendly service.

Went to Newton Abbot shopping with my wife, found this great little café, we just had a bacon and sausage roll each, great value great food.

Great coffee and breakfasts. Very friendly staff. Will be returning for lunch as the menu looks really good..

We had a nice meal at the mad hatters cafe. The staff were friendly & the food was cooked to perfection. I had the Pork & Apple burger with chips & onion rings & my wife had a Ham Baguette which she said was lovely. The portion size was good it didn't leave you feeling uncomfortably full but it didn't leave you feeling hungry either. I would recommend this cafe to anyone who wants good quality food at a reasonable price.Nice atmosphere & clean, pleasent surroundings.

Lovely food. Cook pleasant and smiling.Only trouble is there was a lad flirting with the waitress taking up a table of 4 which could have been used. Service to nice.

This cafe is worth searching out for a reasonably priced breakfast, lunch or snack. It's a hidden away gem. The food is all home cooked which looks and smells lovely. We have been twice and had a very tasty breakfast on the first occasion with ham, egg and chips on the second. A lot of the other customers seemed to be having whatever special was on that day and the plates when they came out looked really good. (It seems pie and mash and roasts are very popular here). On our second we also had a pot of tea and cake. The tea come in a huge pot enough for 5 people and a decent slice of their yummy cake of which there is a wide variety. I cannot recommend highly enough if you are out and about in Newton Abbot town center.

Found this cafe by accident while on a day trip to Newton Abbot. This cafe is a hidden gem, friendly service, very good home cooking, excellent quality and very good value.Well worth a visit.

This splendid café can always accommodate, cooks fresh, good quality home cooking to order and is a delight on a Saturday morning. Family run, it is a special little place. My only reason for four rather than five stars is based on the circumstance of the place; tunnelling through a rather cold, dated looking baking supplies shop, in order to finally reach this hidden gem, will undoubtedly put certain people off. This is no issue for me, as it guarantees me getting a table when all the more "obvious" cafes are full to bursting. I thoroughly recommend all the breakfasts and the specials board. If I had to offer any of my amateur advice to the owners, it would be to refurbish the front of the store, have your lovely café in that section, and sell your baking trays out back!

We visited this cafe recently and we were pleasantly surprised at what we found. Located by the clock tower so easily found. We entered the cafe to find ample seating and a lovely atmosphere. The menu was great British food and the kiddies section was very healthy. Very reasonable prices and presentation excellent. We were served by a charming young man and a young lady and we were so impressed as they had real warmth and character.A great place to eat,defiantly recommend to give it a visit.

Cosy and homely tea room atmosphere with friendly staff. Scrummy food and 'to die for' cakes. Nothing "poncy", just first class home cooking. Added bonuses are the interesting shop at the front of the building and Mrs B's Bonnets upstairs. (Clean) toilets also upstairs.

Took my mum here for birthday tea and our visit was lovely, the staff were very friendly, polite and offered great service, the food was well executed and excellent value for money, I would definitely recommend a visit to anyone, thank you Mad Hatters Cafe :)

Menu had so much to offer and am looking forward to seen what the evening the has to offer. Staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough. I over heard a staff member offer a gentleman at 10 am to cook fish & chips, if that's what he wanted.Design of cafe was magical and loved the small/big door concept, with all the writing on the wall. The table settings were so fab....Allot of effort, sweat and love went into putting this place together. Will be booking a table in here very soon. So impressed.

Great for a coffee stop. Especially if the weather is good as the outside seating is great. Didn't eat this time,mug menu looks good and reasonably priced. Service was slow - but we did sit outside so might have bee bus inside.

Went here today while on holiday with our 4 children, service was excellent and food delicious, all of us really enjoyedOur meals and wasFabulous value For Money would highly recommend

Just spent 18 days in Newton Abbot with my Mum and popped into this cafe nearly every day. More often than not just for a coffee and to spend a very nice hour chatting and enjoying a lovely coffee and homemade biscuit.I enjoyed them so much that I bought a bag of them to eat on the train going home.We also had a meal 3 times. Everything is homemade and the staff and owner are really friendly.It's situated at the back of a Cake Decorations shop, which is my passion and above it is a hat shop which is my husband's passion, so winner!

We went here for lunch. After waiting 30 minutes for food we were told on complaining that they only had a small kitchen. An old lady who appeared to be the owner didn't appear to be a least bit worried and spent her time chatting to regulars. The food when it did arrive was not very good, My wife ordered quiche and chips without the salad. It came on a slate and was very small with only about 15 chips. It was also reheated in a microwave and the pastry was soggy. My brothers wife had pie and chips and complained it was cold. They ran out of liver for my brother's dish and topped it up with bacon and then forgot to give him some peas. If I hadn't paid already by card and had part of the order I would have left.

This is one of the few cafes in town that has seating in the sun all day. The food is home-made and often scones etc. are still warm, lovely! Coffee is served with a small home-made biscuit which is very tasty. The staff are extremely friendly and always greet us with a smile.

A lovely family friendly atmosphere with good service and cooked to order meals. Mum enjoyed a medium all day breakfast whilst I tucked into jacket and beans. Hot, well presented and very tasty. A good brew and cake to complete. We will be back again, thank you.

Every week we participate in some of the treats available at the Mad Hatters. Because we are always pleased with our refreshments we decided to book an afternoon tea party to celebrate my birthday. Four generations came together to sample the marvellous selection of sandwiches, scones and cakes all beautifully presented on traditional cake stands. The display was complemented by pretty bone china cups, saucers and plates. The service was excellent and all guests different needs were attended to. My birthday cake made by Mad Hatters was not only delicious but beautifully crafted with the most delicate floral display.Interestingly last year we had the same meal for my birthday at a nationally known, local 5 star hotel. The meal for 4 there cost more than the meal for 13 at Mad Hatters and the service was very poor. Mad Hatters gave me excellent value for money and I am delighted to say we all had a super time.

We thought we would give this place a try as it was new in town and it was totally dead and we were the only customers which is fine but their was no background music on or any atmosphere and the member of staff didn't make us feel comfortable at all. There was no chat or anything so we felt like we could talk as it was so exposed. We drank our drinks as quickly as we could and left. Sorry hope it is better now....
