Rock Pool Cafe in Torridge

Excellent breakfast & coffees! Super dog friendly too! The dog gets given a blanket to sit on & treats upon arrival! 🐶🐾 Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Popped in for a quick coffee to then have a cheeky breakfast. Lovey warm atmosphere and very welcoming. Dog friendly/caring. Would highly recommend and the Lemon drizzle cake was delicious.

Amazing service and great food.

Just incredible. Possibly the best full english i ever had

Absolutely lovely staff, milkshakes are out of this world. Would go just for those! The cesar salad is amazing and the burgers are massive! Everything is just to die for! My favourite food spot in Devon 💕

Amazing food every time we come in, service is great and all the staff are engaged with every customer. Price is very reasonable for the quality of the food.

Been here twice this week. Lovely food. Lovely atmosphere 😀 staff very nice and accommodating 😀 best pancakes I've ever had and best vegan breakfast. The best dog friendly place we've been so far 🥰

Visited twice during our week's holiday in Westward Ho! Breakfast and lunch were both delicious. The coffee was excellent and my son loved his milkshakes. Great service and staff.

Day we visited it was raining, had our young grandson with us, staff great, made room for us and the buggy, cakes great

Had an excellent experience at this cafe! Very friendly staff who couldn't help us enough with getting our family seated, kids entertained etc. We had the full English breakfast and it was amazing.

Absolutely lovely. Friendly welcoming and excellent food.

The BEST breakfast with super food and fabulous service nothing is too much trouble. Great atmosphere and lovely to catch up with old friends or just a quiet time with your special person to enjoy and chill. A total pleasure experience thank you x

This review's so good, they should display it on the wall!

most AMAZING cafe in the area. felt appreciated as customers. food and drink was absolutely divine and we had the best experience. must visit!

Superb cafe. Choice of making your own breakfast is a great idea with lots of choice. Chamomile tea I had was excellent as is their coffee. Staff couldn't be friendlier. An all round gem.

As always the breakfast was amazing

Friendly lovely welcome followed by first class service Great menu choice , food was quick and served to perfection The hot chocolate was simply divine Do not hesitate to visit

Amazing friendly staff, food was delicious. Couldn't do enough to make you feel welcome. Definitely worth a visit for their breakfast menu!

Wow! What a lovely friendly place this is, all of the staff are so lovely, happy, confident and really take pride in their job. The food was brilliant, breakfast 2 days in a row and we couldn't fault it. Really happy to have visited you guys and we'll definitely be back next time we visit.... Such a small world, I was chatting with one of the owners and she's from the next village a 1/2 mile away from us! Keep up the fantastic work all of you xx

Awesome! Went today for breakfast, a table of 12... Not a problem to Tami, Paul and the girls. Seated upstairs with a lovely view out the window. We had the big breakfast, small breakfast some had extra bits and some had bits taken off, once again not a problem. We had a vegan breakfast, eggs Benedict with ham, eggs Benedict with salmon, tea, coffee, flat whites, Americano, herbal tea, a banana milkshake (huge and very nice) and everything arrived, exactly as ordered and piping hot. You can build your own breakfast if you choose to, and extensive breakfast menu, great selection from the menu. The girls were lovely, serving with a smile and clearly happy in their work, caring without being intrusive like so often happens when eating out. Even though there were a few people waiting to be seated when we left were didn't feel rushed at all. This wasn't a lucky visit, 4 of us went the day before and got exactly the same service. Very highly reccomeded if you are in the area.

the servers were lovely and I enjoyed the conversations had with them, the atmosphere as well was superb making me feel warm and welcomed. however the food wasn't all there for me as the portion sizes were too small for the pricein my opinion. however the food I did eat was quite tasty I just wish I had more of it.

Attentive staff. Brilliant food and wonderful atmosphere.

We always visit Rock Pool on our annual trip to the Ho! Great food, lovely service and usually a spot to shelter you from the rain haha

If you like quality food, amazing service and the best milkshakes you've ever tasted then I highly recommend rock pool Café

Amazing cafe, came in with my whole family 12 of us (we did book). Amazing food and some of the loveliest service we had on the holiday. One of our party is in a wheelchair, they were well organised and helpful with regard to this. To finish though, great food.

Brilliant food and coffee- a very happy 8 year old after having “the best milkshake ever!” Friendly welcoming staff and a great experience. Thank you!

Great cafe amazing breakfast and hopefully a chocolate milkshake later😋

The staff were so friendly and the food was great - had one of the best milkshakes of my life. The location was also close to the beach so perfect after surfing. We've been to rock pool twice in the last week and will definitely be back again.

We always end our holiday with a rock pool cafe breakfast and it never fails to impress me. Staff are lovely and friendly, food is excellent quality and it's very clean and hygienic inside. Would highly recommend!

Friendly and efficient, without compromising quality! My favourite place for breakfast in North Devon! Please don't change!

Friendly and welcoming service from arrival, accommodating of particular requests (my partner asked for a ice latte with chai & coffee), and accompanied with food delivered to an excellent standard at a short wait. 10/10 would recommend to everyone I know, and would visit again if in the area.

Great location. Amazing coffee. Fabulous selection of food including build your own breakfast. Friendly service and delicious food. Highly recommend.

Had a lovely holiday with my family topped off by 3 visits to the best cafe in the area. Fantastic food, with very friendly and helpful staff. So if your hungry in Westward Ho! look no further than The Rock Pool Cafe 👍

Fabulous breakfast with a great choice. Amazing coffee and great friendly service. Will definitely be back. Looking forward to trying the milkshakes next time.

Nice, friendly people, lovely food and a banana shake to die for!

A fantastic venue to have a relaxing breakfast/lunch. We’ve been here a couple of times on our trip to Westward Ho! And just like in the past, will return again. Very welcoming and great for our little toddler.

We went today and had a fantastic breakfast . I'm not a milkshake person but thought I would try one and they were delicious . Everyone enjoyed their food and great idea being able to make your own choice of breakfasts . Staff and owners friendly .. If you are staying here try and you wont be disappointed

The Best Breakfast Ever me and my family have been eating here since the new owners came the food is 10/10 you will not be disappointed to all the staff keep up the good work you all do a fantastic job 👍

Very friendly staff and very clean.

A fantastic breakfast experience was had by all, although some of our party didn't find the milkshakes to be the best in the world, sorry. Still five stars though.

The food was beautiful, staff was very polite.

Came for a day to Westward Ho! This is an amazing cafe! Really friendly staff and it was very clean (especially pleased as my mrs really does notice theae things) qith a vreat atmosphere.

What a great cafe, serving fantastic good. Staff were so friendly and engaging, made our time there so enjoyable. Really dog friendly, which was a bonus. Food was brilliant. We all had pancakes, but the rest of the menu also looked good.

The staff are so friendly and we’re very accommodating. They have loads of options of delicious food! Thanks so much

Went for breakfast twice this week whilst on our hols. Staff really friendly, food was lovely. We loved that you looked after our dog just as much as us. Fresh drinking water and dog treats provided. Milkshakes and smoothies are amazing.

We popped into the cafe today for a bacon & mushroom bap & pot of tea, it was absolutely delicious and staff are exceptionally friendly & very attentive we will as always be visiting the Rockpool cafe several times during our holiday as it’s absolutely the best in Westward Ho !

Great food and service, and go upstairs for a good view as well!

Lovely service and best lattes we have ever had, food was lovely definitely recommend Shirley and Robert from East London

Great food reasonably priced very helpful and friendly staff and very clean and tidy.

We visited for the first time this weekend and loved it!Special shout out to Jessica who greeted us with a warm smile and a chat before taking our order. The food was great and the atmosphere is relaxed, but with really well trained staff. We will definitely be back✌️

Thoroughly great value breakfast, also the builders bap was great. We took cakes to enjoy on our way home too

Top tier breakfast this morning to set me up for a day on the coast path! The staff were more than accommodating and were able to make a special exception for me and my walking buddy. Great food, fantastic service, highly recommended

Excellent service, friendly staff. View of the sea from seats outside. Breakfast done right! SMAASHING!

Sat on the patio with the family and dog for breakfast, had the Builders Bap, brown sauce (obvs) and a Latte. Great service and the Bap was excellent too, American style pancakes went down well too. Highly recommended. (Dogs not allowed inside, but they did bring mine a bowl of water).

Great place. Very friendly staff, lots of options on the menu. Really good location

Great spot! Had two enormous cooked breakfasts two mornings in a row, then went back the same day for one of the delicious homemade scones - which was really good and served with really nice clotted cream and jam. Would recommend everything and will be going back again to try one of the famous milkshakes!

I was in westward ho! for two nights for a lovely escape from London. I ended up taking a handsome date to the rock pool cafe both mornings where we had great coffee, an awesomely sweet banarama pancake, and a build-your-own breakfast the next day. Food was great, coffee was great, and the service was great! Would 100% recommend! Très Bien!

We had coffee and cake was lovely and a reasonable price. Staff very friendly

Not as good as it was a few years ago. Menu not as appetising.

I just came to Westward Ho! For a wee break and tripped across this magical cafe called rock pool cafe wow wow wow I have not come across such charming staff in such a long time, at my table I studied the very comprehensive menu I took a chance with the large breakfast my cappuccino and breakfast arrived within minutes the cafe was buzzing and yet the service was 5 star and always with a smile and a willingness to help this is missing in many major restaurants. What a beautiful way to start a day 5 days in Westward Ho 5 all day breakfasts in the rock pool cafe "brilliant" like the terminator I will be back

We were staying in Westward Ho! for 4 nights and every morning we had breakfast in Rockpool cafe. This place is absolutely amazing and has everything what you need: a huge variety of tasty dishes, extremely friendly staff and such a lovely atmosphere. It is really worth money and highly recommend.

What an amazing little jewel. This place serves the best English breakfast EVER and I ate here everyday while on a visit to see my dad. The staff are the happiest I’ve ever met and made me feel welcomed every time I arrived. The new owners are all about ‘ Customer Service’ and whether it’s a quick stop for a cuppa or a full blown lunch, this IS the place to go. Thank you Staff and Owners for making what was an emotional trip so much easier with your warmth and AMAZING food. Francine ❤️

Best breakfast ever… Greeting from Marmaris

Rockpool cafe is simply brilliant. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, the food is amazing and did I mention the milkshakes!? We stopped for lunch on our golf trip last week and just had to go back for breakfast the next day too. The team made us feel right at home and I’ll definitely be going back next time in the area. Nothing beats a morning coffee and sandwich whilst watching the tide come in! And yes… I’d recommend the milkshake

Lovely coffee and the loveliest team. Very family friendly. Great gluten free and vegetarian choices. Get the creamy garlic mushrooms.

I was recommended this place when visiting Westward Ho! It definitely lived up to expectations! Originally just went for breakfast but it was so good we went back the next day! Highly recommend the full English for breakfast and cheesy chips (with a milkshake) for lunch! Staff were also very friendly!

I was in Westward Ho! On holiday with friends for the weekend and we visited Rockpool Cafe for the first time on Friday morning for breakfast, the Breakfast Bap and the coffee were that good that we insisted on going back the following day for brunch and it didn’t disappoint. I went for the berry pancake stack and passion fruit smoothie and it was the perfect meal for a beautiful sunny brunch by the coast. Add to that the fact that the team working there were incredibly welcoming, friendly and chatty, it felt like they’d known you for years and couldn’t do enough for you.

Great spot for some brunch! Manager took our number and gave us a call when a table became free for us which was great, food and service also top notch!

Great food lovely staff highly recommended

5 star place to eat, staff super friendly, food is excellent and all for a reasonable price.

A little kindness goes a long way. Thank you Rock pool cafe for making my day. Delicious food, amazing service. Very kind and friendly staff. Thanks!

Hidden jem of a cafe ✨️ I met a local resident that recommended rock pool cafe for breakfast, after eating at neighbouring pubs previously Rock pool is a real cafe 👌🏻 Tasty food and superior friendly service that's welcoming and pleasant unlike the rest, Service with a smile and reasonably priced considering the current situation with rising prices and worth every penny for the amazing service, doggo bowls next to outdoor tables 5 Stars all round thank you.

Cracking build your own breakfast, including bubble and squeak! Great coffee too. 😋

Excellent food quality and quantity. Build your own breakfast / brunch menu is a really good feature. 👍 Polite friendly staff and management, creating a relaxed atmosphere.

The best milkshake in Devon.And really good service and friendly staff.

Really lovely breakfast - it is customizable which it great, very friendly staff. Pleased that we have found this cafe. We have visited before our drive down to Cornwall multiple times and it has always been fantastic

Amazing food & friendly staff! Special thanks to Magenta for taking care of our table and family, definitely recommend!

Doug and Sue Gloucestershire came here twice this week and on both occasions food coffee and atmosphere and staff were amazing highly recommend looking forward to the next time we are back in westward ho

Highly recommend, had a brilliant time there today. Thank you again for making my Wifes birthday even more special with the candles on the ice cream and singing. I can see why she wanted to go there. Thank you

Cracking breakfast, and a huge fuss made of our dog, will be back before the end of the week.

Our waitress was excellent as is the proprietors. Had a lovely Gf cake and drinks. Wonderful service.

I’ve had a lot of milkshakes in my time, but these are easily the best in Britain. The food’s pretty good too! Does not disappoint

Myself, husband and adult son today went into Rock Pool cafe and had a very friendly welcome. we had carrot cake, cream tea and a cinnamon classic with double espresso, americano and tea. The drinks were great and the cakes were very nice too! Will definitely go again and recommend this lovely cafe ☺️

*****… very friendly… good food👌 See you again… Cheers , some of the crazy squashnerds from Norway, Switzerland an Germany ❤️

Great atmosphere, enthusiastic new owners maintaining excellent standards of old. very friendly staff and a decent mug of coffee!

An amazing experience staff was extremely nice and helpful unfortunately I didn't catch anyone's name however they was all amazing, we had a selection of drinks and they was all delicious, the menu is was extensive and has something for everyone. The breakfast was perfect size and was one of the best breakfast I've had in a long time. We will definitely be back and I can't recommend it enough. Don't forget when you visit to leave a review as they reward staff for positive reviews which is such an amazing thing and is motivation for the staff to always put their all into the job. 5*

Staff were really friendly and accommodating of our fussy dietary requirements. Food was delicious and well presented and the background music played some great tunes. 🎶 🎵 🙂

We ate there with the kids (12 & 14) they have an awesome menu and we would happily eat most things. Friendly staff and good value too.

Lovely cafe, friendly staff, good service, good coffee and yummy cakes. It was a bit blustery outside but nice and welcoming in the cafe.

A really enjoyable breakfast and great service too!

We were recommended this cafe by our daughter who visited a few weeks ago. So glad we tried it ourselves. Fantastic food and friendly staff, nothing was too much trouble. Food arrived quickly even though they were busy. Just wish we lived nearer, as we would be in every week!

Simply the best , coffee and breakfast top draw 👌👌👌

Our favourite place to eat and drink in Westward Ho! Such a friendly team, a real home from home. Fabulous coffee too!

Would definitely recommend! Great service & lovely food. The breakfast was just what I needed after a walk on the beach.

So impressed with this cafe lunch! My friend and I stopped here randomly for lunch today (Easter bank holiday Monday) and despite being very busy, the staff were super friendly and efficient and there was a lovely atmosphere. Drinks and food came really promptly and my lunch - I went for a coronation chicken baguette - was one of the tastiest, freshest lunches I’ve ever had. The quality of the food was clear in every taste! I know from experience how hard work it is being in hospitality in busy North Devon, but the team here seem to be smashing it! Thanks so much 😊

Lovely friendly service and delicious food 😋. Sat outside in the sun. Had the soup and egg and mushrooms on toast. Would highly recommend.

A little pricey for breakfast but the food was really great! It came out fast and hot and servers were super talkative and happy and helpful. The atmosphere was just so nice you felt better just walking in.

Popped in as Tea on the green was full up, and what a fabulous place. Great Coffee, excellent food and great service, we will return 😁
