Maisie's Cafe in South Hams

We visited while on holiday and made a point of visiting just after they opened for breakfast. This place is clean, welcoming and we had a good wholesome breakfast which we could not fault (see photos). Well done everyone to them also for being cash only and supporting local farmers (as demonstrated by the ‘No Farmers, No Food’ sign in the window). Conveniently located if you have parked in the nearby car park and are off to shop in the lovely high street.

A characterful cafe with great service and tasty food. Tucked slightly out of the way of the main thoroughfare, this cafe is very much recommended.

Wow, a wonderful charming cafe serving a delightful and plentiful Cream Tea, homemade scones warmed and served with lashings of cream and jam. The staff were lovely and the whole experience was great.

Well worth a visit. We had lunch comprising of BLT sandwich and a Ham and cheese sandwich. My hubby had a side of chips. Sandwiches were lovely and freshly made. They were served with a nice fresh side salad and a pot of coleslaw. Really lovely ingredients used not just supermarket stuff. The two ladies making and serving lunch were lovely. We would definitely go back and highly recommend to others.

Visited twice whilst in Totnes, and each time had a delicious freshly cooked breakfast. Very friendly owner/staff. Would thoroughly recommend !!

We stopped of at this place for brunch just opposite the big car park off the plains my friend had a breakfast and I had scrabbled egg on toast and a big pot of tea for 2 the food was delicious and at a very reasonable price . Highly recommended

We came across this friendly little cafe and enjoyed an excellent value for money breakfast, quality ingredients, nice friendly staff, we highly recommend a visit!

We finally visited Maisie's after living nearby for a while and wish we hadn't left it so long! Delicious, exceptionally good value breakfast. All 4 of us has the full English with a variety of sides, all of which arrived at the same time and were very well cooked. - great coffee - mushrooms were hot and not watery - hash browns properly crispy - eggs perfect (ie not cooked solid or no runny whites) - proper pepper grinder :) - speedy service - generous portions Along with the super-local feel and great deco, we all thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast and will be back soon!

We are retired and active, like to try out new venues for eating out and stay loyal to good ones. Maisies never disappoints. My wife is a very good cook so we know what good food tastes like and their prices are very fair. Portions are good and the service excellant. I thoroughly reccomend.

What a find . We visited for lunch and were tempted by the all day breakfast . We were not disappointed. Good quantity and variety and all superbly cooked and good value . Very friendly and helpful ladies in charge . Nice clean premises and right near the town . We will be back on our next visit

My husband and I were visiting the town for the day. We wanted some breakfast in a quaint tea room. We found this at Maisies. We received a warm welcome. Lovely, clean, and quaint interior. The husband ordered the full English, and I had the vegetarian breakfast. It was all cooked to perfection. Eggs, mushrooms, crispy bacon and sausages, yummy hash browns. Such friendly staff too. This can be found up a little side street. Totally recommend.

An unpretentious establishment slightly tucked away from the main shopping street. The reception afforded to my wife and I was warm despite our rather late arrival. We chose the unusual combination of one steak and kidney pie lunch and one Devon cream tea which shared them between us with a large pot of tea. Everything was excellent. The restaurant and toilet areas were spotlessly clean and the price of the fare was reasonable. Probably the best tea room in Totnes.

Nice friendly people. Food nice. Was very pleased they were able to cook my bacon really crispy. If you are in the area, definitely visit. They are cash only, but that's good. Decor great, tables clean.

My family & I enjoyed a delicious cooked breakfast at Maisie’s Café. Excellent, friendly service. Would highly recommend.

Met up with an old friend after 30 odd years for long chat so enjoyed that with lovely pot of tea in proper china cups, the only acceptable way for me, and a toasted teacake. Lovely cosy and homely venue with lovely ladies serving.

The best place for breakfast and lunch in Totnes. On a week’s holiday to Devon, we ate here 3 times, two lunches and a breakfast. The food is of excellent quality and served in good time by friendly staff. This is a cash only establishment and I wish there were more like it, we need to keep cash alive and used every day. Such a good find, a minute walk from the car park, good quality food at good prices with friendly smiley staff. What more could you want.

Dropped in to this Cafe for Sunday Breakfast with my family, very friendly and welcoming staff, food and service were great, we all enjoyed the quality and choice available Great cup of tea brewed in a proper tea pot Will go back next time we are in Totnes

Visited with my wife & dog, excellent meals, plus the dog was given biscuits, will definitely go back when in this part of the world.

We visited yesterday on the off chance as I’d read the name on trip advisor. They are a cash only establishment but well worth the visit. The Earl grey tea was delicious and I had the best prawn sandwich I have ever tasted- jam packed with prawns. We will definitely return next time we go to Totnes.

A proper English breakfast in a tea room/ cafe setting!...not an ounce of grease and perfectly cooked. Waited upon by a nice lady and freshly cooked and delivered within 10 minutes. We scoured the high street for an English breakfast to no avail and this is by far the best place if you are not a vegan. Recommended

Great Quality ingredients. Breakfast has quality bacon and sausage. Also veggie option with super mushrooms. Bfast 7.50 good value for this quality. Tea 1.75 Toast 1.50 Note cash only. Recommended

Really nice breakfast, cooked fresh. Served until 11:30. Vegetarian option available. Great service. Cash only.

We visited here on a recent trip to Totnes with our son and dog, as it is advertised as dog friendly. When we arrived, we got a basic greeting and handed a menu, but as the only ones in the cafe at the time it was unclear how to order even though both staff were watching us. I felt that they could have been a little more friendly and chatted a bit. When more customers arrived the atmosphere warmed up a bit. The cream tea was nice and fresh.

Another lovely visit to Maisie’s . Popped into Tewkesbury for a quick shop and as usual we diverted to Maisie’s . The outside area was full but we managed a grab a seat . Lovely atmosphere with customers chatting to each other across the courtyard...

Started the day with breakfast at Maisie’s while in holiday in the area. Very friendly and quick service and really good quality fry up with local bacon/sausages. Great value for the area and location.

We were visiting Totnes on the Round Robin steam train and riverboat trip as part of a 70th birthday celebration for our incredibly loved mum! We had researched the area for places for lunch for a party of 12- as coming from Manchester had no...

Superb cafe tucked away behind The Plains - you have to go looking for it but it is all home-made and freshly-sourced ingredients, mouthwatering Devon crab sandwiches and, with the demise of Woods Cafe, now the best full English breakfast in Totnes. Reasonable prices too!...

Friendly locally ran cafe. Great prices and good quality food. £35 for a family of 4 adults in Totnes is great value. Very yummy would recommend

Went there after 12 and breakfast was still being served fantastic. Lovely breakfast and well priced. Coffee was nice to and Lovely inside

Basically stumbled across Maisie's and so so happy that we did. We had beautiful homemade warm scones with a generous serving of cream and jam! The service was fab, nothing was too much trouble. Loved all of the crockery, and the teapots are great. Such...

Great welcome..dog friendly with treats. . Great full breakfast. Lovely pot of tea. Great value for money highly reccomend.

Never mind the posh high st. eateries, this is a happy, clean and well presented cafe, serving quality homemade food at realistic prices. Tucked away behind the main streets we have eaten here before when we travel down from east Devon on a day trip....

Lovely little cafe slightly away from the hustle & bustle , had a Devon cream tea served on vintage China, friendly homely feel & welcome from the lady who served us, good value

My mum came a year ago when she was on holiday and suggested I go. so my friend and I went earlier this morning and had an amazing cream tea and crab sandwich to share. The cream and jam portions were really generous and the...

Exceptional service and charming environment providing a fabulous lunchtime meal comprising a crab sandwich salad with double cooked chips and an additional seafood basket. Fundamentally, I really good down to us, beautifully presented and scrupulously clean cosy café environment which was a joy. We will...

Popped in here whilst in Totnes. Was looking for a “proper” English breakfast and my goodness did they deliver!! The most fantastic quality items - butchers meat and sausages, eggs so fresh I think they were probably laid that morning, and everything else was seriously...

Me and my wife had a full cooked breakfast today. Really lovely breakfast beautifully cooked using really high quality ingredients. Lovely pork sausages, nice thick cut bacon,eggs and wide choice of extras. I cannot recommend this place enough. A must visit if in totnes.

WOW, what a find just off the main shopping street. Great value and tasty food cooked fresh. We stopped for breakfast which gets a 10/10 👍. Would highly recommend and happily return when visiting Totnes.

we were there last week (September). a charming little cafe, nice staff and delicious crab sandwiches with salad and chips. I saw someone else was having a roast dinner which also looked enticing. Will definitely be back

Lovely independent cafe, good menu, friendly staff and good food. Simple but effective. Nothing motto like.

Superb staff and fab full English at an amazing price too. Lovely cafe in totnes, good quality food too all super tasty !!! 10/10

Really lovely people, place and food! Really close to a car park and the shops. The sausages were delicious and everything was extremely well cooked!

We found Maisie’s by chance after we had parked up in Totnes, it was already lunchtime as we had been elsewhere in the morning. A quick check in Tripadvisor and we thought we would give Maisie’s a try. We were asked to sanitise our hands, full in the track and trace book and given a table with plenty of space around us. We ordered Devon Cream Teas and crab sandwiches. They use vintage style crockery, cups, saucers and cake stands so the presentation was lovely. The scones were warm and soft and the crab sandwiches were delicious. It’s a little off the main area but well worth a visit, we really enjoyed it and it was great value for money too.

What a find - lovely local cafe where we had a superb full English breakfast, toast and tea for two at an excellent price. Staff are great, helpful and friendly. Our Westie Pippa was most welcome here too - I recommend this place to everyone and it was so good we're going again tomorrow morning.

- Really great value for money (£5.50 for a full breakfast) - Lovely cream teas - Variety of choices for vegetarians - Welcoming and professional staff - Homely feel - Caronavirus regulations were upheld - Would eat here again if in Totnes

Popped into Totnes for a quick bite to eat on the way through to the coast with my 13 & 11 year old daughters. This little cafe is close to the short stay car park. Two bowls of delicious soup consumed, one leek & potato and a spiced parsnip & carrot, my youngest had the bacon, Brie & cranberry toasted sandwich, very good quality bacon used. Would definitely recommend for somewhere quick with a good location whilst visiting Totnes & friendly staff.

Recommended Maisie's by a local deli after we said we were looking for a homely, child friendly cafe and this place was spot on. Lovely home cooked food, generous portions and very friendly staff. 100% recommend.

Nice little cafe/restaurant in an out of the way location. Friendly staff who obviously work hard. We had a lovely reasonably priced full English breakfast here. All cooked great and all lovely ingredients. Fresh cappuccino too. Will definitely be back.

If you go to Totnes, you have to go to Maisie’s. it is one of the best cafes I have ever visited. Go on, do it. You’ll be glad you did.

As we were passing by a local woman said that Maisies Coffee Shop served the best cream tea in Totnes. I think she was probably right, absolutely delicious! They also serve a mean crab sandwich. Well worth a visit.

We were a fairly large party visiting Totnes and decided to have afternoon tea. It was a fairly miserable experience all round. It was lacking in a few areas (no vegan or dairy free option, underdone scone, shortage of knives and missing a cup and saucer) which I wouldn't have minded had the very surly looking woman in the cafe made an effort to rectify things with a smile, but she had a face like thunder and a really disappointing attitude. Anyway, lots of others to choose from next time.

My wife and I were en route back to our car and decided to pop into this charming dog friendly cafe to have some lunch.The staff were extremely friendly and the menu had plenty of choice.We opted for hommity pie and salad. It was extremely delicious, we also had a terrific pot of tea. Some water was provided for our small dog too.This vintage looking cafe is hidden off the main high street and is well worth seeking out, for the lovely welcoming staff alone. The food and beverages are not overpriced either.

Fabulous little cafe with super friendly staff. Bacon sandwich and coffee for £3.95. Dog was welcomed with a treat. Our dog is named Maisie!

Had a lovely sausage sandwich here last week, and it was lovely. Also I loved how all the drinks were served in proper China. A real hidden gem

Was very impressed with the food for the price. Good quality ingredients served quickly. Only one criticism. The air was very smokey, due to fried food. Hence my conclusion is that the extraction system needs beefing up. It’s only a small cafe, with the kitchen open plan, but I’m sure something could be done. Apart from the ventilation I would say that this is an ideal lunch venue. I’ve worked in the town for many years and not tried it. I’ll be going again.

Very nice cafe BLT and tea cake very nice so where the coffee's rating on the door 5 very pleasant young man served us try it out

fantastic roast dinner,followed by a generous pudding,my husband and I couldn't believe the portion,excellent food,excellent value,lovely friendy people,beautiful detail,and proper tcups,loved it,we will deffo go there again,thankyou Maisie and staff,xxx

After a walk around Totnes, we were walking back to the car park and spotted this place. Not very exciting from the outside but lovely inside. Tea and coffee served in pretty vintage style bone china. I had the crab sandwiches and they were so fresh. The bread was soft and the filling very generous. They came with a nice mixed salad and a little pot of coleslaw. It was beautifully presented. Husband enjoyed his bog standard bacon sandwich. Food was all made fresh and there is a good selection of dishes and a specials board. Great for us as it’s dog friendly.

We came in here for breakfast before the shopping trip to build up the strength for the outing in Totnes!!!! It does not look like much from the outside but trust me it’s worth poking your nose into this shabby chic themed cafe come tea room and not a chain!!!

Popped in here on a Sunday and ordered the roast. I had pork and the wife had turkey. Generous portions of everything made this outstanding value for money and I can recommend it to anybody looking for a hearty meal on a Sunday lunchtime. Staff are lovely as well.

Came across Masie's about a month ago, Whilst passing spotted the Sunday roast offer, So glad we went in, A lovely Roast with fresh veg and what a lot of it. A genuine good old fashioned lunch in a cheery little cafe and very reasonable. Supported well we noticed by the locals, Always a good sign. Enjoyed so much, Made a point of getting in to Totnes 2 hours before my wifes train due today just so we could have the roast again. Wish we lived closer, In the words of Arnie... I'll be back.

Three of us went to this lovely cafe for the second time and had the home made cottage pie with fresh vegetables. The portions were large and we were pleased that we had to walk back to Dartington where we had left our car. As we were well filled after this delicious meal.We will certainly be having a meal in this lovely cafe when we visit Totnes again. An added bonus was the friendly staff who deserve a mention.

Friendly helpful staff, lovely unhurried meal. Ploughmen's lunch was particularly good. Very reasonably priced, would definitely go again.

Popped into Maisie’s for a coffee before shopping in town. Very friendly staff, clean & welcoming cafe & superb coffee. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a relaxed meal or drink away from the hustle & bustle of the main town

If ever feeling a little worse for wear you need to try Maisies breakfast! decent quality sausages and bacon and all the trimmings. Never fails to hit the spot!

See above. Not going to waste my time saying anymore than that. Maybe just a bad day....But food was below average too.

We saw this place on a backstreet when we left the car park. It was quite latish really - about 3pm - and I saw they closed at 4 but I had promised myself to have a Devon Cream Tea when in Devon. How I picked such a great place by chance I don't know. The scones were out of this world, loads of jam and cream which was readily topped up as I pinched all the cream and left not enough for my husband. Lashings of really good tea and fabulous friendly service for a very reasonable priice. Nice to see a place that doesn't price over the top in Devon.

Super inexpensive breakfast good quality ingredients and unlike a lot of other establishments the food was 'HOT' All served in a cosy friendly atmosphere with polite and attentive crew. Well done "Maisie's Team" keep up the good work. 10/10

We went there for a light lunch- had a very nice bacon sandwich and cup of coffee. Plenty of tasty bacon. Friendly owners, very clean café.

Great little gem with pleasant staff. Had the full English breakfast here on Saturday, it was very good and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We will definitely be returning.

Good service, nice food, good prices, happy memories and nice decorations. Get the brie and cranberry sandwich xx

I had a brie and cranberry sandwich (fattest sandwich I've ever had), nice coleslaw, salad that I drowned in mayo. Good times, fond memories.

Lovely lunch on a wet Sunday. Felt very welcome especially with our labradoodle Who was fussed over and treated.

Never got chance to try anything as the only only gluten-free option was frozen bread.

A very friendly little cafe in Totnes, with fantastic food, a must go cafe if you're visiting Totnes you won't be disappointed.

Maisie's is very cosy and welcoming. We just had coffee and cake but very good value and friendly staff. We will definitely return.

Very friendly cafe with a good choice of sweet and savoury meals and snacks. Tasty and fresh food plus a good pot of tea.

Cream tea pare excellence. Friendly staff cute old English tea room feel right opposite the short stay car park

A lovely welcoming cafe that does delicious cream teas. Dogs are welcome and the atmosphere is exactly as it should be. A little gem.

Visiting Totnes for the day and the sign about Devon crab sandwiches lured us in! I’m so glad it did. Excellent service, delicious food and great value.

Have been there twice with friends and have loved it. Friendly, clean cafe with a great menu - I had BLT which came with side salad and coleslaw - a huge meal. My friend had lasagne which again had a side salad - will be back again soon

...until 11.30! This is a small but very comfortable and welcoming cafe with all the usual breakfast and lunch stuff, nice cakes and bread and very well-cooked food. It's tucked away down Warlands so off the beaten track but well worth searching out.

Ordered a bacon sandwich for lunch and it came with double rashers and a side salad! Tasted delicious and the staff were very friendly. Very good value for money and all fresh. Tea in china cups. There was a good choice menu with delicious hot meals. There were many locals eating their hot meal there. Definitely recommended for a good lunch.

Great little place the staff were excellent. We had a full English breakfast it was cooked all fresh and it was superb and the latte coffee was to die for that good I had to have one to take away. Thank you we will be back

Food was excellent. Tea from china cups. Good service and choice of menu. Superb crab sandwiches and very nice scones with plentiful jam and cream

We decided to stop off at Totnes for brunch and found this place quite by accident as it was near one of the car parks.

This is everything you hope for a village Devon cream tea. It was on a side street and clearly advertised gf cream teas. We ordered and they came really quickly, my friend had a standard one and I had the gf version - gf scones...

We discovered Maisie's quite by chance really as had to walk that way for our accommodation for our break. It is off the main drag of the town, but well worth it. We always like to start our day with a good cooked breakfast when...

On this Occasion I came here with my Mum, We had Two lunches, and I had a coffee (excellent bean blend!*) The food was all fresh and home made, the portion sizes are excellent and was not left disappointed. Friendly family run business, the staff are lovely and the prices are Great! Will definitely be back!

Went to totness for day whilst on holiday in devon, cutting through from car park, we seen Maisie's and went in had Sunday lunch it was really beautiful, proper homemade we had lamb and plenty of it with all the trimmings would Defoe recommend

We recently visited Maisie's for a Sunday roast (having already visited several times for cream teas/light lunches). OMG! What a...

Lovely and welcoming, even for our dog. Breakfast was quick and delicious. The use of local produce was a highlight...

We visited Maisie's for lunch. The lunch selection on a Sunday isn't very varied - apart from Sunday roast there...

Excellent Breakfast, cooked fresh and well presented. Thoroughly recommend this home cooked meals cafe.

Popped in here for breakfast with my partner and 2 ten year olds - such a cute little place, decor very pretty, really cosy. Staff very nice and were happy to take our specific order. Food was excellent, all locally sourced and very tasty. Nice coffee too. Set us up for the day!

Had the most amazing roast dinner yesterday,better than mothers ,real roasties ,real veg ,and plenty of meat , Have to say the best I have had ,can't praise it highly enough.

Been here before and the food is excellent good portion size and good quality. Friendly staff with a real local feel to the place. Would definitely recommend!

Small tearoom/eating place which serves breakfast and home made lunches and teas. Slow pork/lamb dishes or stews with potato and veg and quiches with salad. I had a generously filled bacon sandwich with a cup of tea served in cheerful china. Delicious home made cakes. Mostly locals eat here and know eachother. Very friendly service and good value for money.

Couldn't have hoped for more, great food and friendly service, enjoyed a lovely meal with good company in a relaxed atmosphere, if you're in the area I couldn't think of a better placeThanks Maisie's!

Fresh off the train at Totnes from Looe and on our way to a little beer festival in town we needed a good breakfast and found a superb one. In my fussy eating daughter's words, "Oh these sausages are lush". As was the bacon, egg, black pudding, hash brown. I really was tempted to have pudding after breakfast they looked/sounded 'lush' too. I'll be returning just for pudding and a pot of tea. Really well done.
