Sandbanks Cafe in North Devon

This is a great place for a coffee or something to eat when waiting for a train or shopping in the area. I meet friends here once a month and have never been disappointed. The full vegetarian breakfast is excellent. Don’t go to Costa, come here instead!

Oh my where do I begin! I would avoid this place at all costs! Guy behind the bar was rude not very welcoming at all.. the beer dribbled out the pumps .. coke from a can which was warm no ice.. seating uncomfortable, dust everywhere, we waited 30 mins for our food for it to be overcooked.. and a couple who arrived after us got their food before us.. there was people on another table who didn't finish their food and couldn't leave the pub quick enough either .. says it all ...

half an hour early, drinks order wrong and cups only half filled

I was about to head into a night shift in the hospital and the barista was lovely. I had turned up just before the store was shutting but the barista did not mind at all. It was nice having a wonderful talk with someone and feeling appreciated before heading into a gruelling shift. Thank you (sorry I didn't get your name) but people like you remind me why I work for the NHS.

Waitress did her job, but a smile wouldn’t have gone a miss, seemed like she didn’t like her job or indeed may not be in the right career of hospitality. A hostess should be warm and welcoming. A can of coke with the glass would have been nice instead of as I witnessed a can shared between two different tables.. the food……. Dirty fries or rather swimming in a puddle of oil fries….. never have I ever seen so much oil I tipped it all out on to plate and napkins soaked it up! Awful will not be again!
