Pandora Cafe in North Devon

Menu only some things available,. Food not nice, service with a snarl. A lot nicer places in Ilfracombe

Called for roast dinner price seemed good as was on special but the food had a strange chemical taste like cleaning fluid. Will not go again.

I have often visited this cafe and all in all for the things that are on offer. There is plenty of space for improvment a little sad from time to time but a great little cafe.

I had 2 coffees and 2 toasted cheese sandwiches which almost came to £15.00!!!! The place was empty and i was told to move to another table as the 1 old person sitting there didnt like dogs. The guy is selling what looks like stuff from his home also at very high prices. Its basically an old peoples cafe that sells old peoples food. Very basic yet very expensive. The man was pleasant but thats about all that was nice.

Had a great breakfast at the Pandora cafe.My father enjoyed the American style breakfast and was able to browse to buy some gifts

I had a bacon & egg toasted sandwich, very nice with plenty of bacon. Hit the spot! Venue is good with several bric-a-brac items on sale.

They have lots on their menu but food was fatty and tasted horrible. Wouldn’t recommend at all. The one thing good was the staff were nice.

Possibly the worst lunch I’ve ever eaten, milkshake was horrible and all the food was fatty and soggy

If you are in Ilfracombe stay away as far as possible from this place. Without doubt the worst feeding we’ve ever received, possibly nearly poisoned. As a family we never complain but definitely this was awful. 🤢

We visited Pandora Cafe for lunch and enjoyed lovely, fresh, home cooked food! The service was excellent and everyone was very friendly - nice to chat with someone from the Midlands and enjoy some football banter too! Would highly recommend a visit to this lovely cafe!

Great little cafe. Home cooked food and quick service. Everyone (7) was hungry and all the popular ones down the road were busy. So eventually we found this place,and to be honest I did not have high hopes.. If you want crisps with your 7 quid toastie you will be disappointed. If you want hot homemade cottage pie ,roast potatoes and veg for £4.95 then this is the place. Veg was cooked to perfection (al dente) Everyone left happy.

For £6.25 You can have a pot of tea,a proper roast dinner and a dessert, all freshly prepared in a clean and welcoming atmosphere. Lots of menu choice. My return visit did not disappoint and have made this my 'Must go to' eating place when in Ilfracombe. My Support Dog made welcome and given a cut up sausage on a plate!

We go here on a regular basis as the food is reasonably priced and the service quick. Its quirky and different- a combination of a shop and a cafe! What makes the place is Joe the owner who is friendly and helpful and willing to go the extra mile to please. He knows everything and everyone locally so you will be sure to get answers to any question you have about where to go, what to see and where to buy it from

Came to ilfracombe for the week as a family and stumbled along this lovely cafe. Very welcoming and we're happy to change a few things on the breakfasts. Food was excellent and £5.95 for a full English can't go wrong .

Have been several times to this lovely cafe and delighted with everything the price, the food, have sampled their Sunday Lunch with loads of vegetables you can have them every day of the week not just Sunday, went there again and had a breakfas then again tried one of their omelettes and would recommend all of them, these little quaint places need trade to survive so please pay them a visit and they have an extensive menu for holiday makers (Packed Lunches available at g8 prices)

Went in here on the way back to the hotel. The service was very efficient and the man running the place very friendly. It was helped by the fact we were the only customer's at the time. Definatly worth a visit and very reasonably priced.

I've only been here a couple of times last season but the visits were good. I even found a couple of bits to buy!

Yo no tengo intención de visitar este café, pero en pasando por vi amigos, así se les unieron. Fue una experiencia que nunca olvidaré! El dueño era muy cómico. Pedí un paquete de comida para mi casa, que era excelente.

This cafe has good plain food. It's run by a very helpful man who acts as chef as well. There are various things for sale in the cabinets around the cafe.

Great value meals in a small cafe. The decor is basic but functional & we enjoyed our meals which represented great value for money. Ideal for people who want to have fresh meals cooked to order & be within walking distance of the town centre.

Tasty food plenty of food on the plate. Not enough roast potatoes but mabye too much mash potato but it was very good to have a carvery for just £6.20 would definitely recommend.

Es barato, pero necesita ser, sólo se detuvo a una taza de té y un trozo de pastel, por desgracia nada casero sobre y mediocre.

The tea was horrendous but the coffee was a better choice. Not a bad meal and cheap too. The sound of the gulls make it sound like your next to the sea .

We had just arrived in Ilfracombe town and pandoras cafe was the first cafe we came across. We sat down outside with only one problem, there was only two tables which only one of them had an umbrella to block you from the sun, it could do with another.The food was great and has a wide variety of choices which surprised us. The manager was brilliant and even done us a little sing song which had us in fits of laughter. Such a great place that we returned the next morning for a fry up! Worth checking out.

Everytime I come down to Ilfracombe in Devon I always use the Pandora cafe. Each year the owner always remembers me. Great friendly service . Great food at a reasonable price. Today I had a lamb shank dinner and the meat was so tender it just fell off the bone. Delicious. If you want home cooked food then 8 recommend the Pandora cafe in Ilfracombe.

Varied choices for Takeaways, reasonably priced. Ask if you want something different, very obliging. Good selection of knick-knack momentums.

Popped in for a cream tea which was good enough although would have liked a bit more jam but tasty and reasonably priced. The place seems a little dated/old fashioned but I think it gave it character! The owners (?) were very friendly and it had a certain charm about it.

This café has a lot of character and charm although it is like walking into a time warp I loved it. A pot of tea and a tea cake for £2.75 you cannot complain. The place is full of curios to purchase . It was clean and the staff were polite with a bit of Northern banter. Also open in December when many of the cafes in Ilfracombe close for the winter.

Popped in for a couple of toasties which were cheaper than any of the other places we looked at, they were freshly cooked and the side salad was also very fresh. Would definitely use this cafe again.

Super food, good service, reasonably priced. Had something for the kids too, a good selection of kids menu food :)

An 11 hour nightmare drive a small baby a dog and two adults , and nowhere to stay once we arrived the owner of this traditional seaside cafe welcomed us in let us use his wifi and electricity to charge phones , and we had a well needed coffee really really friendly place to call .

Popped into this café for a bite to eat before attending a wedding at the tunnels. Very well located for this as it's just around the corner. The food was really good quality and Del kept us amused while we were there. Give it a try.

We popped into this cafe as we thought it looked ok however the food we had (paninis and toasties) were really unpleasant. The bacon was barely cooked, tuna was tasteless, sausages dry and overcooked and the bread hard and tasteless. The crisps were 9 months out of date and when we pointed this out they apologised and then offered us the rest of the stock to take home. Not sure why we would want 20 packs of stale crisps. I'm sorry to say that this was the worst food I've ever eaten.

Very friendly staff, Great service, Excellent food, Reasonable price. A must visit when in Ilfracombe!

We had Sunday lunch at this cafe it was very good very good service and a nice atmosphere would recommend this place to anybody and will call every time we are in ilfracombe thanks very much

We came for a 5 day visit to Ilfracome and the Pandora was opposite the hotel we were staying at. We were so pleased we went in on our first day after arriving. The owner and staff were so friendly nothing was too much trouble. We made sure we called in every day of our stay. Not only was the food good but Del entertained us every day. If you are on holiday in Ilfracombe you MUST GO AND VISIT you will not be disappointed. From a group friends Wolverhampton.

made to feel welcome when first walked in food and drink orders taken quickly so there was no waiting around hoping to catch some ones eye

Almost next door to the Bath House Hotel, the Pandora Café offers good quality food at a reasonable price. Highly recommend. Try the Chicken and Mushroom Pie!

I love this cafe!! Not only the food is great, the staff are very polite and friendly! Definitely the best family friendly cafe in Ilfracombe!

My father and his wife recently visited this cafe and said what a lovely man the owner was and the food was excellent. They asked me to write a review on their behalf as they don't own a computer.

On a rainy afternoon we needed some refreshment like apple pie & coffee.The owner & his delightful young assistant served us well, thank you.If and when we return to Ilfracombe we will be making a return visit

Excellent friendly serviceVery good foodVery friendly atmosphereDerek, the Proprietor, a most friendly and helpful guy.
