Rochelle's River Cafe in South Hams

This cafe is in a lovely position overlooking the river and has a large terrace which during Covid is a boon! All the tables and chairs inside are piled up and you have to walk through to get to the outside seating which didn’t seem particularly distanced.....therefore didn’t give it higher marks. The drinks we had were served to the table after having to go back inside to order and then to exit you go out of a back gate, but also passing close by the other tables. The staff wore masks and tables were wiped but chairs weren’t. We will return as it was a nice place to sit and the coffees were ok.

Great service, beautiful location, value for money The service was great. The staff were very helpful. Food was lovely. Location was amazing.

Excellent food and friendly service with a terrace overlooking the River Erme. Good for a coffee, a light meal and something more substantial. Great for breakfast.

Saw via Facebook that were doing all day breakfasts for takeaway so thought id give it a try. Rung the number 3 times before got through but this is just sign of the times that few staff doing a lot of jobs at the moment in places so if ringing be patient, it is the right number on Facebook and they will get to you.Ordered a Big Breakfast for 20 mins time and was bang on time for when I arrived.Breakfast it self was very tasty and worth the money for the portions and quality of it all. only little let down was cold toast but even with just a 2 minute drive away its kinda always inevitable to perish, maybe not worth doing for take always? Could have done with some butter for it also (as is pictured on Facebook page). but easily a 9/10 Breakfast.Here is were things don't seem so good in a COVID-19 world. Arrived at restaurant and looked around entrance for guidance of it should wait or just go in and seem to be just go in. Every table inside was taken, and people were very crammed in, and the entrance has a real bottleneck issue. I stood just inside the door, there was a lady on left side of counter changing an order, another lady at the till and a gentleman trying to make his way out by squeezing past them and the table just inside the door, I stood outside again so he could get past me. I know you can not really control were your customers go and how they behave/think for safety of others but I remember coming here in Summer during 'Eat out to help out' where you were alot more organised and safe. You used to have to wait to be seated, served at the table throughout and only leave to pay when waiting staff told you so, then exit via one way system though the outside of the cafe which avoids the 'bottlenecking' I mentioned earlier. Why are none of these systems in place? The two Ladies serving both had masks but one only had over her chin and not mouth, the rules as I understanding (I should say LAW) is that all staff who are in contact with public must wear them at all times in a public area (not just when at tables). The Chef/Kitchen staff are except as not in direct contact with public.Its such a shame you have really lacked back on the COVID procedures as I like to support the locals but I didn't even feel comfortable just waiting inside for 2mins to collect a takeaway, I certainly would go there to eat in during current climate.

Just had a takeaway breakfast as in lockdown. Really lovely. Enjoyed it very much Fresh, well cooked, butcher sausages and bacon Can’t fault it.

Popped in early in the morning for a cup of tea, first visit for a little while.Very disappointed to see that tables inside and out were in exactly the same places as before. None had been moved to allow for 'social distancing', which meant walking /sitting very close to others. The only difference was that you went out the back way through the gate, but to do this you had to walk closely to other tables.I won't return while it's like this. Disappointed! Didn't see any cleaning of tables/chairs etc between visitors.

We were heading from St Mellion back to Bath and stumbled upon this cafe. It’s close to the A-road, perhaps ten mins and then we parked at the bottom of the high st, opposite the church and walked up. (Wheelchair accessible) food was absolutely fab and the scones were still hot. We ate til we burst and recommend you do too! River setting is incredible.

We were in ivybridge today by chance and the look of Rochelles was very appealing. All the staff were delightful, smiling and made all the Covid issues very clear. We got a little table overlooking the river and had a superb lunch. A great surprise was the pink grapefruit cider which caused great humour. A delightful French lady behind the counter explained all the procedures and served our meals. What a find !

Great little cafe, next to the river. Friendly service. We had the moules mariniere and it was excellent.

After seeing the great menu online I was curious to check out this cafe for breakfast, we sat outside on the waters edge and it was beautiful, I've never seen a place like it, truly unique. We opted for 2 coffees and 2 full english breakfasts and everything was perfect. When we arrived we were told that they were understaffed however that didn't affect our experience, staff were super friendly and looked well organised. Would definitely recommend when visiting Ivybridge :)

Went for lunch with my daughter had a lovely lunch with very friendly happy staff as always good absolutely delicious bought cake home also delicious have visited a few times and will go back again

A lovely inside and outside sitting area by the river. However, like most British cafés we never seem to get it right like our European friends! Despite a large number of young helpful staff, I queued for a while always having to move from side to side to dodge the next waitress carrying out an order from the kitchen. I just don't understand why you don't offer table service especially during covid times. My friend ordered a full english breakfast which didn't look at all special for £7.95. A boring one sausage, one rasher of bacon, half a tomato, slimy fried egg etc. It would have been so much more interesting to do a twist on this meal.. Poach egg, spinach rather than the usual greasy spoon conventional fry up. My colleague also returned to the counter later to order a carrot cake slice which at least looked a little more appealing. However, I was horrified that this wasn't immediately served to her as she wasn't ordering a drink.10 minutes later I returned to the counter to enquire about the cake slice to be told it had been added to the pile of orders. Sadly once again, another example of service in an English café.I wish you success in these difficult times but hope you take on my comments to further improve your café.

Disappointed that table service wasn’t offered. Big queues of people waiting to order/pay. Difficult in the environment to socially distance. No masks being worn. Much safer if people entered and sat at table and didn’t have to move until leaving by the one way system. Much safer

Sadly , this place has gone up and down with quality. When I moved to the area it was awful, At one point it was very good. Now its sliding back, to not good. Breakfast had strange tasting tomatoes, everything piled on a small plate. It pains me to say this but Weatherspoon's do a better breakfast. I'm not chancing it with dinner or lunch.

Simple and tasty cafe food. Nice seats outside in the sun. Service friendly. Ideal for a quick lunch.

This cafe can get quite busy but is a lovely spot for food alongside the river though Ivybridge. Visit mainly for breakfast which is always lovely, some items on the menu can be slightly overpriced.

Welcomed when we entered and handed the special menus and asked to sit were we liked then order at the counter when ready. Was short changed by £2 when placed order but pointed this pout to the server who just opened up the till and gave us the corrected change but something to watch out for as not first time this has happened here. We ordered from the specials menu BBQ Pork Steak and the Fish Pie and both were great. Very generous portions and both very tasty. BBQ Pork Steak was meant to be topped with cheese however but didn't seem to be unless completely melted/evaporated but did have 3x onion rings which wasn't on menu so swings and roundabouts :). My partner said it was the best Fish Pie she had ever had. Drinks very pricey however, £2.90 for a bottle of Luscombe Lemonade and £2.60 for a standard can of diet coke. Yikes!

Stopped off for a late breakfast and had the bacon , egg, sausage, beens, hash brown, toast and a coffee. Nothing to complain about really, bacon a little dried up and portions on the small side but friendly service and a nice coffee. Not great value for money. This is a no frills cafe so don't expect anything else.

Went into the cafe today and sat down at a table, apparently the system has changed and you need to go up to the counter to order, no-one told us this (last time we were there it was table service). We saw staff continually coming and going and ignoring us, it would have perhaps been helpful for one of them to say if there was a new system as we must have clearly looked confused. Typically when we got up to leave we caught the eye of a lady behind the counter who asked if we had changed our mind and i told her that we were going elsewhere as we had been waiting a while to be served, she then was clearly irritated with that response and told me to "read the menu"!! I understand it was taken over recently, perhaps there was a sign that we missed but there is never any need for rudeness especially from staff to customers!! Hasten to say we wont be returning.

Popped in for a hot chocolate ended up having some homemade parsnip soup with sour dough.it was a wise decision.cafe atmosphere but not intrusive with prompt efficient service. A family run card lots of home cooking.

Passing through Ivybridge it was a cold day and l wanted some warming soup. On that day they had white bean and rosemary. It arrived in a mini tureen and was lovely it came with a cheese scone. Order at the counter and its brought to you. The rest of the menu looked very good, plenty of choice. They do 'themed evenings'. By the river and you could sit outside. A nice loo. Service was good.

The position of this cafe alongside and overlooking the river is lovely and the staff friendly and helpful. The rest of the experience however is rather disappointing. Fixtures and fittings all looking a bit tired and in need of updating. Food distinctly average and portion size was poor. We had Ham (couple of slices of thin ham) egg and chips (small fancy basket of chips on the plate) X2 plus a cream tea (two pleasant scones but no more than a couple of teaspoon size amounts of jam & cream) & two teas which can to just over £28. Can't say I'll be rushing back.

Greeted by friendly staff member as entered who instructed me to pick anywhere i wanted to sit, menus on tables, make a note of number and order at table when ready. Picked a spot outside with a nice view of the river Erme. decided on a Full English Breakfast (£6.95, Fried egg, Sausage, Bacon, Hash Brown, Grilled Mushroom, Grilled Tomato, Baked Beans and Toast) and Orange Juice (£2.90). Ordered at the till, wasn't actually asked for table number but wasn't long since opened for the day and not many people there yet so waitress properly didn't need to ask as knew where i was. Drink and cutlery was bought out to table straight away and food followed very quickly after, couldn't have even been 5 minutes. Food was all o.k and presented fine. only small critic have really is wasn't asked if wanted any sauce but saw some on counter outside so helped myself. Belive that Dogs are welcome in the outside area but did also note that Cafe has it own resident cat (or stray put food out for) which i think is nice but other people may want to consider this if four legged friend doesn't play well with others. Also just a suggestion, but maybe offer cheaper juice drinks. I get that most places like this like to sell Real bottled Orange juice and local (though not sure if was or wasn't) but at £2.90 didn't even fill glass (with help of ice also). But anyway was a very pleasant visit and nice to see various events advertised that they host such as Fine Dining evenings and Murder Mystery. A good community place :) .

My friend and I had a marvellous lunch (with plenty of tasty house wine) at this amazing restaurant yesterday. It's situated in an idyllic spot by the river, and the lovely owner Jo made us feel so welcome, and even sat with us for a bit to share a glass of wine and a chat. The chicken was fantastic too, beautifully cooked in a french sauce. A little gem, and a taste of the Med in Glanville's Mill in Ivybridge

We haven’t visited this cafe for some time.....think it was with previous owners then! We had a nice friendly welcome and just ordered flavoured lattes, which were brought to our table overlooking the river. The coffees were a bit disappointing as they were quite a mugful and quite tasteless costing £3.30 each. The disappointing coffees were outweighed by the nice position and nice service, so we hope to return soon. ....the cakes looked nice and there was a good menu for food.

Big and very tasty burger, great veggy chilli jacket potato. Very good service and amazing place by the river Erme. We definitely will be back!

Only go here for a fried breakfast not had anything else, but always good quality food .only criticism is that if would be nice if they had bigger tea pots as if you go with friends and have tea you all get a small pot which clutters up the table

Sunday lunchtime but went for the breakfast which they confirmed was gluten free. Able to sit outside in covered area overlooking the river but out of the rain. Very helpful staff. Lemon Polenta cake was so good it almost made being Coeliac okay; always a bonus for chocolate brownie not to be the only choice.

We stopped here for coffee as we travelled through Ivybridge. At the end of the new shopping centre, close by the weir we found this little haven. We watched as early lunches/brunches arrived and they looked unusual and delicious. Not much was left on anyone's plate. They had a small but interesting menu from snacks to full meals. The location was beautiful. You can sit on this covered terrace, above the river and watch the light play on the water between the trees. The sound is all around you, delightful.Recommended

A lovely venue overlooking a weir and the river. Inside sitting and under umbrellas on a balcony. Beautiful spot on the edge of a shopping mall. The service was very friendly and excellent. Dogs were allowed on the balcony. A nice menu with variations from croissants to a full English, coffee was good, an excellent experience in a lovely location.

Visited this eatery with my daughter and her partner. After looking at the menu we all decided to have a baguette each. My daughter and I had the cheese and salad and her partner had the bacon and Brie.

Nice little place by the river, seating inside or you can grab a seat outside and listen to the river and have your lunch. Friendly staff and food well produced and nicely presented.

My first visit here was a surprise. Nice surroundings by the river and the food was nicely presented. Staff were very helpful.

Had a lovely lunch this week - Brie Bacon and Tomato triple decker. So tasty. It’s great that they cater for gluten free without any trouble. Enjoyed sitting out by the river. What a view. Great staff. Great food. Can’t complain. Thank you.

Popped in today for a bite to eat. We had 2x burgers and chips. We both felt that the chips tasted strange and of a cleaning product. No one came during our meal to check how things where but i brought this to the attention of the waitress. She said she would go and investigate and come back. No one did come back and when i approached her at the till no longer than 2 mins later she had totally forgotten me. Her attitude towards the issue was that there hadnt been any cleaning products near the food and that she didnt know what to do. The fact that we both left our chips there was no real concern from the waitress. Now feeling rather sick and both of us have a strange taste that will not go away. Would not recommend nor visit again!!

As a local, Ive eaten at Rochelles a number of times and have the ability to compare it with times of old when it was under previous management. It has come along way and the cafe we see today is a prime example of somewhere where things are done right! with a location next to the river, on a nice sunny day there is nowhere better with the sight and sound of the water makes it all an enjoyable experience. The menu is good and the food was delicious! We both had the burger which is reasonably priced and added cheese for an extra £1. The burger was chunky and had a nice taste. Portion size was generous with a healthy amount of chips and a token side salad. my only gripe with Rochelles is i think it has taken a step back on the finer details by the lack of table service. Previously you would be waited on hand and foot, initially shown to a table and your order taken from your table which meant once seated you didn't have to move, now you have to fight for a your own seat (on a busy day) and queue to place your order. The whole py beef you eat and not having the ability to run up a tab makes you feel like they want you in and out as quick as possible. having to go up and order and pay 3 times (initial drinks, mains and then a dessert) was an inconvenience, the whole process didnt seen very organised but that's just a minor blip. Overall, still a lovely place to eat or drink

After a simple lunch here, we went for a walk around Ivybridge, but realised our baby needed changing, so went back to Rochelle's only to be told that we couldnt change a nappy as they were closing, even though there were still customers there. What a horrible attitude from the owner. Things were very different with the previous owners, What a shame customers are just cattle to her. It's such a lovely setting, and the other staff are very helpful. Unfortunately, I can't recommend as it ruined our late lunch.

The restaurant is situated at the end of small covered shopping mall, we came across it just wandering through the town. But what a lovely surprise to find the covered terrace wrapping itself around the far end of the cafe with the River Erme tumbling along below! We just had a light lunch but would happily go back on a summer evening for dinner. Our baguette and wrap were very fresh and tasty. The salad was crisp too. Very reasonably priced. The service was friendly and the food delivered promptly on nice plates. There are proper salt and pepper grinders on the table in funky containers.

I came here with high hopes for my first visit, they were quickly dashed. At 1415 - the cafe closes at 1500 I tried to order some savoury food - the kitchen was closed for savoury. In the midst of Brexit faff I’d expect people to try and maintain their customers and entice new ones, clearly not. I preceded to order two scones with the usual trimmings - apart from when they arrived there was a considerable lack of cream and jam. I’m sorry but I wouldn’t visit again.

There appears to have been a marked decline in the service and variety of food since my previous visit earlier in the year. Prices seem to have increased and lots of stodgy food plus Christmas specials. Only stayed for coffee. The toilet was not working and the only viable option was a 4 minutes across the public car park

I love this place, first visited about 12 months ago and came back again today. Loved it! Great views, friendly staff, fantastic food and fabulous value for money.

My friend and I ate breakfast here yesterday morning, we were brought our breakfast baps and drinks and totally amazed at the state of the crockery, my plate had one chip around the outer edge but the plate given to my friend had 10 :o - we made a comment to the waitress and got told they were waiting on new crockery arriving - she didn't apologise, or offer to change the plate - we were completely shocked and dismayed. Very pleased we just had breakfast baps and not food that was all over the plate - surely chips in crockery is where bacteria builds up as it must become porous. My suggestion would be to pop to Tesco to buy some cheap crockery to tide you over until the new stock arrives. On the plus side, the food was delicious, so not all bad.

Dropped in for coffee, warm friendly service. Fantastic looking menu. Excellent presentation of the meals on nearby tables. Good loos-immaculate conditions. Lovely place to eat by the river

Stopped in for a breakfast, and it was perfect, everything was high quality, and cooked just right, the staff was really nice and welcoming, highly recommend a call in for something to eat

We ate here on the afternoon of August 25th and had an amazing meal with wonderful wait staff. We had the Bangers and Mash as well as the ham and cheese Jacket Potato. Our server said that these dishes are traditional British dishes and the were wonderful. We would reccomend this restaurant.

I sat outside with my fiancé at this lovely little cafe and had a well-needed jacket potato with baked beans. It was exactly what you’d expect, which is always a good thing with jacket potatoes. Very large portion for a very good price. Waitresses were very polite and friendly, which made for a pleasant experience.

after a very long walk through the woods by the river erme with our dog found this place down by the Co-op and the car park. Lovely spot sitting outside over the weir.

Friendly welcome from staff as soon as I arrived. Lovely outside table by the riverside. Fabulous ‘veggie’ breakfast... great value, generous quantity, freshly cooked, hot and tasty... good filter coffee too. What’s not to like? Highly recommended. 👌😀

You know the feeling ? You've walked the dog and now you're feeling like some food and a drink wouldn't go amiss.

If you want a relaxing light meal followed by coffee and cake and the sound of the flowing river and even watch the trout then just pop into Rochelle’s

We were in Ivybridge to collect a present and took the opportunity to have a Coffee. Rochelle’s River Cafe with it’s nice Flowing River Erme View. We had Coffees of Latte & Flat White with a Toasted Tea Cake. Enjoyed the Experience but nothing overly special.

Visited on a recommendation and really dissapointed. Service was terrible - took 45 minutes for 3 coffees, 2 milkshakes (which were warm) and 3 slices of cake, which was ok. We are visiting from Oz, not a touch on our cafes. Nice view though.

Lovely food great service many choices all set to be of a high standard, it's becoming one of my favourite watering holes in the area, makes me glad I moved back to Ivybridge

Myself and friend had excellent freshly prepared lunches in a very peaceful setting. The staff are very friendly and professional. Good variety of food which is well presented.

Visited for lunch with my wife on a lovely Saturday at the end of June. Beautiful setting by the river more than matched by the excellent food. My wife had a wonderful omlette and I had the best burger I have ever had which was beautifully succulent and complemented by the excellent relish. Rochelle's is definitely well worth a visit!

We visited on 20th June at 1pm for some lunch. This is a place we visited often.

Rochelle's is an excellent café that does great food. Sitting outside on a sunny day is great. The service is excellent but what has always made this place is the quality of the food.

Another great night at Rochelle’s, excellent moules and chips and a good pudding. Really nice sitting out overlooking the river with good wine at a reasonable price.

I was walking the Two Moors Way and wanted a lunch on Sunday. I could see this across the river near the shopping centre but had to walk around to find it as the shopping centre was closed. It was worth it, with a great riverside table, nice food and good service. Recommended.

Went to Rochelle today for brunch.over heard that they were under staffed due to a no show...felt sorry for them as you could clearly see that they were struggling to keep up with the pace which was no fault of there own.the family pulled together to try there hardest to keep things flowing.sure enough there was a little wait which is to be expected,but they remained calm pleasant and breakfast was great so well done.The owner deserves a wine or 2 when she gets home.

We sat outside looking down over the river great setting. Service was good. And our drinks were delicious. Good selection of cakes etc

Whether for a coffee, a quick snack or a lunch, the menu will cater for your needs. We tend to pop in while we're waiting for our dog to be groomed.

Found this little gem while looking for somewhere to eat whilst travelling back from Cornwall to Portsmouth. I had a full English while my partner had crepes with banana, both cooked to perfection, and served in super quick time by one of the lovely waitresses. We ate outside on the balcony overlooking the river. Would recommend thoroughly to anyone passing by.

Delicious cakes and great coffee, caters to all diets, fantastic setting and friendly service. Worth a visit!!

We live in Ivybridge and when out walking our dog regularly use to call into this café for a coffee or indeed have lunch, and were more than pleased with the service and the food. However it has now changed hands and it has gone downhill. On 3 separate occasions we sat outside in the arcade whilst we were out walking our dog and waited to be served. We waited and waited but no-one came out to serve us, so after about 10 minutes on each occasion we got up and left. At one time we were sat directly in front of the entry door, and a waitress saw us there, but carried on cleaning the display cabinet and totally ignored us. As this has now happened 3 times we now use one of the other cafes in Ivybridge where we do not get ignored and we will not be going back

Had an amazing breakfast and sausage/bacon roll on a Sunday morning. Good quality produce that was cooked to perfection. Service was fantastic and nothing was a problem. Would highly recommend this for a breakfast for all the family. 5 stars!

Called in on our way down to Cornwall,Lovely cafe with a beautiful selection of foods and the service was first class, we called around the same time last year, and the wife insisted on exactly the same as last year, Baked potato with prawns (constant diet potatoes are a treat) sat outside in the covered area and did a little people watching ,Still never managed to try some of the cakes etc (wife constantly guilt tripping me), definitely will when we call next year, the place was very busy, however the young girls who looked after us were very efficient,charming and seemed genuinely pleased to serve us, had a walk by the lovely little river Erme (?) and went on our way, If heading to Cornwall it's not a big detour from the main road and well worth calling in I'm sure you will not be disapointed

We met for lunch and I chose the tomato and cheese quiche which was fresh that day. I expect it was me but I found it tasteless and greasy.

Fantastic night, excellent food, the Vegetarian option of aubergine was delicious and the chocolate pudding great too. Good wine at a reasonable price. A very well run evening with a lot of great 1970's outfits in the crowd and good fun actors. We will be back.

We booked to go to the 70s themed murder mystery event at Rochelle’s. It was fab. Great fun and fabulous food, what could be better!!! 2 courses of confit crusted duck leg with green beans, potatoes and a rich jus followed by gooey chocolate pudding and ice cream. Delicious! Great service from the owners and staff. Well done. Not essential to dress up but those that did def added to the evening. No soft furnishings so the only slight downside was the noise levels but not enough to spoil the night.

Nice food, a little on the expensive side but good quality ingredients for breakfast. Was a little shocked that a can of coke costs £2.50 - no drinks list was available and had I have known I would've paid the same price for a hot chocolate instead.

Best chilli nachos I have had. Seriously good. Partner had the chorizo scotch egg with large chunky wedges again excellent.

Enjoyed a meeting with a friend this morning and sat outside in the February sunshine perched on the terrace overhanging the balcony - and because of the way the place is set up it was warm enough to sit outside at this time of year. I enjoyed a very pleasant time sipping coffee and tea and catching up. We meet here because it is so relaxed with very friendly service and whenever I have eaten here I have always found it very nice and a little different too! Great for any time of day! We are lucky to have such a gem in our midst!

visted on a Saturday & went for a coffee and ordered lunch which was very good. Local produce and cooked to order and would highly recommend a visit when you can.

We came here on a Sunday as we wanted a cooked breakfast but having had a late night we didn’t want to have to get up too early. This was literally the only place we could find where we could have a cooked breakfast on a Sunday at noon (most places switch to roast lunches at that point). It was a lovely clean cafe with a cosy atmosphere and great service. The food was cooked to order and we did not have to wait long. Good choice, excellent quality and really good value. The cakes looked amazing so I am already planning my next visit!!

Friendly service, good food at a reasonable price- not had a bad meal here yet. We especially love the crepes here. We often come for a Sunday breakfast - lovely that it is now open 7 days a week. It's a great way to wake up after a long night out beforehand. The river noise is very relaxing, we often sit outside even in winter thanks to the covered patio.

We’ve ventured out with our newborn twins for a festive coffee and cake at the largest cafe in Ivybridge.

Really lovely location by the river, good choice of food & drinks, excellent service, dogs allowed on patio area which is undercover now.

Four of us attended Rochelles Beaujolais event tonight; three course meal and bottle of beaujolais. The food was amazing and beautifully presented. Waiters were very attentive and the atmosphere was relaxed and lovely. As a regular customer to Rochelles, often for breakfast or just coffee and cake, we have attended three of their events this year and each one has been a great night out with lovely food, great service and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend Rochelles for their evening events, for their breakfast and their coffee and cake!

Had a great breakfast and had gluten free food available. Service was very good and wasn't expensive.

We visited the Riverbank Cafe on a Saturday morning (10am) and there was plenty of room and tables available. We chose to sit outside and enjoy the gorgeous view across the riverside. Being October it was a little chilly but from observing around, they do have paraffin heaters on standby for the colder months.

We had a lovely lunch on a sunny October day!!! Food was excellent as was the service and ambiance. I would highly recommend a visit you won't be disappointed !!!!

We used to love this little gem but then it changed owners and has gone downhill ever since. Prices have been going up and choices going down. The quality of food has nose dived. For example the jacket potato with tuna used to have red onion and tomato chopped up in it and now it's just tuna with way too much mayo and a teaspoon of side salad. It seems that cost cutting on ingredients as well as a hike in prices has ruined what was once a fantastic little cafe.

Lunch today with my daughter, had the most amazing BLT and bacon and brie baguettes, served by very friendly and helpful staff. Would highly recommend a visit.

Just had lunch with friends from New Zealand, good food, good service, nice ambience, reasonable prices. Try it!

We visited on the 12/09/17 for breakfast, the menu was great and the service was very efficient and the staff were very welcoming. The food was lovely and very reasonably priced, will definitely visit again.

A great place to have breakfast. Good food, prompt service and blessed with the sound of the river rising past

There was plenty on the varied menu to suit three children and two adults. Nice home made fare and some interesting specials. We visited for a late lunch, and only had main courses, but the desserts and cakes looked very tempting! Best thing is the position and we were able to get a table on the terrace, under cover from the inclement conditions, but with the river rushing by below.

Have regularly patronized Rochelles and found the meals and service to be very good. Will always return.

Whilst walking in Ivybridge we came across Rochelle's seeing it first from the riverside. It is well situated and with good views. The staff were welcoming and polite. We ordered 2 jacket potatoes and fillings with coffee which was well prepared and tasty. Would visit again.

Restaurant found on TripAdvisor so we reserved a table for eight people. Great choice of various breakfasts available ranging from pancakes to full English breakfasts situated inside and outside with a great view of the fish swimming by in the river. We even had a visit from the town crier telling us about the events happening that week. Great place to stop with a lovely town situated in between Torquay and Plymouth.

Called in for coffee and noticed on the special board ....a GIANT chorizo scotch egg . So we ordered 2 coffeesand the scotch egg. When it all arrived the coffee was in very small cups but ok can live with that, but the scotch egg was below average size and soggy , not fresh cooked with a crispy crumb !! When we went to pay we were absolutely astonished to be charged £8.50 for a scotch egg with a salad garnish. Absolutely extortionate !!!!!!

I went here with my daughter, originally for coffee and cake, but decided for savoury, followed my cake and soft drink. It was lovely to be able to sit outside by the river. The staff were friendly and polite, Not all places are

Went with my daughter, good foid and friendly service, food cooked lovley, Scampi was crunchy (way i like it) and chips were lovley, a great family run cafe, Staff nice and polite always nice to them enjoy what they do, definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Visited a few weeks ago, this was my first experience in Ivybridge as it is not somewhere local to me. However, my sister and I like to try new businesses (especially family run!) so paid the cafe a visit for some tea and cake. The dessert selection was extensive, it was hard to choose! The cakes were tasty and service was efficient. The new owner was very friendly and polite, getting to know the locals around us. We were not a particular fan of the couple of French staff but the younger waiting staff were very polite and attentive, we cannot fault them. We are excited to come back and try the lunch menu soon - lots of great choice and the dishes smelt amazing as they passed us. I think many of the reviews on here are unfair, we felt this cafe had everything it needed and more for a pleasant experience, especially the amazing view and ambience from the river. It is not a restaurant and it is not trying to be, I would recommend to anyone passing by to pop in and enjoy a treat. Lovely experience and we will be back.

Since the change of owners I feel the food has changed, cost cutting and young unexperienced for example no spoon with my coffee, was not given a choice of coffee cups just given a mug. The mussels was cooked in a very rich sauce so it had taken the taste of the mussels away. Chips where nasty and cheap. Sorry to say that this change is not for the best, one good thing is the location next to a river.

Visited early for breakfast. The service was friendly and helpful and the cooked breakfast was good with plenty of taste as was the poached egg on toast.

This was recommended by a friend. We popped in for lunch about 1315. A great choice on the menu, I would defy anyone not to find something delicious to eat or drink. We ordered goats cheese salad, very tasty. The staff were very friendly and attentive. After lunch a great walk to the Avon Dam, just up the road, a good day! We will definitely go back if in the area and recommend it to friends.

Came here for a Sunday brunch sitting in the sunshine by the river. Now open on Sundays for lunch only and a lovely meal was enjoyed by all the family - can recommend.

We went here 22/7/17 for breakfast after researching the best places to go in Ivybridge. The food came out very fast and was just what we needed before attending a wedding. It was very nice. The works that was going on on the river ruined it a little as it was extremely noisy when sitting outside.
