Susie's Tea Rooms in Torridge

Highly recommend a visit! We were looking for a place to have breakfast but also fancied a cream tea and this place had exactly what we needed! We had the ferryman’s cream tea which is perfect if you want that mix of savoury and then sweet. The bread used for the sandwiches was so fresh and soft. We also decided to have one of them with a savoury scone and one with a sweet scone so we could try both and they were both lovely. The scones were perfect and not too crumbly as they can be in other places. The staff are very welcoming and attentive. Bonus points for being dog friendly

We needed to go somewhere so the opening time of 10 am was inconvenient. People having to leave holiday accommodation before 10 would probably appreciate an earlier opening time. Maybe this happens in the summer season. Therefore when it opened there was a rush and the staff were momentarily overwhelmed. However, they quickly got their act together. The breakfast was delicious and served in a timely manner . Good surroundings and some nice crafts and jar food to buy.

Called in for breakfast and were not disappointed. A well cooked breakfast with good quality ingredients, it was busy which says alot. We would definitely recommend and if in Appledore again would be going back.

The staff are very welcoming the food is fantastic we went there twice in the week we were there i would recommend everyone to visit when in the area

We actually visited the Market Street Kitchen twice whilst staying locally. Once for coffee / tea and cake and once for breakfast. On both occasions, we thoroughly enjoyed the food. The cake was a generous serving and was soo moist and moreish that I could so easily have had another slice. The Full English breakfast was delicious, and I believe all the ingredients were locally sourced, which I am a firm supporter of. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and there is plenty of seating both indoors, or outside in their beautiful garden. This venue is dog friendly, and there are water bowls available for your dog to sup from at his/her leisure. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed both of our visits here, and would definitely recommend you to visit if you are in Appledore.

Lovely little place, very quaint! Food was very generous portions, but importantly also very good quality, both fresh, and tasty. Price very, very reasonable. Coffee was first-rate too. Service was a little slow initially, but it's a small cafe with only a few staff, and they made up for it with friendly and fast service thereafter. Very much recommended, a great example of a well run local little cafe.

We had the most fabulous cream tea here. We sat in the lovely garden at the back and enjoyed fabulous ‘doorstop’ sandwiches with delicious fresh bread and beautiful and generously sized fruit scones. Our dog enjoyed his puppachino! Service was quick and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

We went as a treat because they advertise “gluten free”scones, cream teas etc…. However I’ve never been so underwhelmed, the gluten free fruit scone was at least a 1/3 of the size of my daughters standard scone and was the same price! Why can’t places advertising GF home made cakes, scones, food etc…. offer the same quality and size as normal products. Very disappointing.

Great little spot. Loved the exposed brickwork and beams, fantastic way to see the inside of one of the traditional cottages. We’ve been here before and will go again. This time we had a lovely delicious breakfast, the menu had a few sizes and different options. A table near us had a toasted tea cake which looked goooood. I took the option to add hash browns and switch fried to scrambled eggs, me and my wife loved it. All elements were yummy!

Stopped off for coffees m, cake, soup and pasty - nice little cafe, good service, everything looked and tasted really fresh and home made - will return

Having been plenty of times before (and have the loyalty card to prove it!) I was pleased to take my friend for her first time. We just had coffee today but enjoyed the experience. Nice atmosphere and very dog friendly. This is also a lovely cafe in the summer so you can sit in the garden. Also plenty of gluten and vegan options

Smashing location, pleasant staff, but extortionately overpriced……. Nearly £13 for a ‘Full breakfast’ that neither includes mushrooms or tomatoes! Not worth it in my opinion.

Very disappointing and expensive we ordered three turkey sandwiches expecting the contents to be fresh turkey at £10 each not thin slices of tasteless processed turkey meat. I am afraid I will think twice before visiting again, if ever.

Great service and fab knowledge of gluten free options. Sandwich and soup was amazing topped off with a gluten free brownie. Reasonably priced and well worth the money. Great little spot, will return.

A tale of two halves…the cakes snd scones were superb, absolutely superb, the drinks were also very good with very good quality coffee. The other side of the coin was what I would describe as aloof service, far from rude just not particularly friendly or welcoming. We just didn’t feel particularly valued as customers. However it is clear if you are local or regular a more favourable welcome awaits as we evidenced. Did this detract? no not a lot to be honest but for our visit to have been the 5 the food absolutely deserved we would expect more welcoming staff.

This is a wonderful find, tucked away in a side street; we never visit Appledore without a leisurely hour or so at this lovely place. The food is amazing, the crab sandwich is to die for and is big enough to be described as a main course meal! All the other menu items are delicious, so fresh and beautifully presented. On a dry day, the sheltered, terraced rear garden is a tranquil haven with quirky, characterful decoration and plants. The staff are really friendly and helpful; nothing is too much trouble. Very dog friendly, there's even a 'puppuccino' whipped cream treat on the menu! Our only complaint is that we don't live near enough to visit more often. We'll be back next time, hopefully soon.

Absolutely delish!! Great little find on the back street, serving a variety of lunchtime meals, cakes & drinks. We had a very tasty tuna mayo, onion, and cheese toastie with salad, crisps, and homemade slaw. We were eyeing up the cakes for pudding as they looked great however the portion size was great so we were full up! It's definitely worth a visit if you are peckish at lunch time, very busy around 1230, so be prepared to wait for a table.

We enjoyed a really good crab sandwich, with 'doorstep' fresh bread and a pasty. Both with a tasty slaw and salad that deserved the space on the plate. The staff were all smiley, which added to the visit.

Waited a while to be seated. Waited even longer to have our order taken. Waited along time for our order to come out which came out in stages. Hot drinks first, nearly finished them by the time 2 milkshakes arrived and the milkshakes had nearly been finished by the time our scones arrived. One fruit scone cold the other fruit scone to hot to touch! Asked if we could have a cold one as we didn't asked for them to be warmed and it was for a child. They brought a cold one out and said it depends on what they are up to in the kitchen 🤷‍♀️ busy time of day and the cafe was full but the service was slow and unorganised. Other customers saying the same and also walking out. Food looked good, decent coffee, milkshake presentation nice. Just shame about the disjointed service.

Great little coffee shop and cafe just off the main quay in Appledore. Staff are friendly and attentive and we’ll worth a visit for coffee and a cake.

We visited today on a wet and drizzly day after doing some crabbing. We are a family of 5 and received a warm welcome from the lovely staff. My husband had the crab sandwich and I had the tuna open toastie. It was absolutely delicious and would highly recommend. The children all cleared their plates too. This was a lovely find on the little back streets of Appledore that I would recommend to anybody!

Splendid breakfast for 3 people and two dogs. The two coeliac’s had excellent gluten free options. Very friendly staff. Obviously popular.

Found this lovely cafe in the back streets of Appledore, great service, the Victoria Sponge, was the best I have ever tasted in years ,all home made, along with tea and coffee

Visited Appledore on Tuesday 22nd November 2022. A lovely village 6 miles west of Barnstable and 3 miles north of Bideford. Had lunch at the Market Street Kitchen, inc soup and an afternoon tea/sandwich combo. Nice atmosphere and options to purchase local crafts too. Recommend.

Was told it was table service, waited in garden 20 mins, waitress walked passed 3 times.. zero response or acknowledgement.. gave up ! Cafe very quiet .. hate to think of the service when busy

Returned to this Tea Shop after good experience last year. It was not cheap then but the 2023 pricing is extortionate. True it says on the menu £2 will be added to the cost of gluten free cakes or scones - but if you are...

It's such a lovely cafe and with a recently diagnosed coeliac daughter we were delighted to find great Gf choices and the care they took to prevent cross contamination was very much appreciated. Delicious sandwiches, cakes and scones and lovely service, highly recommend it if...

Proper big breakfast, Devon doorstep style sandwiches, fab specialist hot chocolates and big tasty scones with clotted cream & local jam! Yum!! Lovely staff and very pleasant spacious cafe tucked away in quaint pedestrian street behind Appledore Quay.

Had breakfast on a Saturday morning. It was busy and had a lovely atmosphere. Staff were friendly and attentive and the menu was traditional breakfast fayre - and non the worse for that. Not expensive and very enjoyable.

This place is nice. The service is good but the food is pretty basic. Nothing exciting to shout about. No prawns or crab in a seaside town seems a bit strange too. It has lovely local art work on the walls

Friendly welcome and offered the option to sit inside or the garden. We opted for inside and listened to their choice of music. Free wifi, which kept the teenager amused! Choice of cakes, cookies and brownies included vegan and gluten free options, so catered for...

Had a really excellent breakfast at this cafe. Lots of options at sensible prices - we settled for the smaller of the two “full” breakfasts which consisted 1 bacon, 1 sausage, egg, beans plus big chunky piece of toast. Just the right amount and really...

The pros- . Staff friendly and welcoming. Dog friendly although didn’t have a dog. Pretty inside. Cons- so amazingly slow - I’m referring to cakes for dessert which were right in front of two members of staff who were chatting for some time. I honestly...

We found this little place via google and were so pleased we did. A dog friendly cafe is a must for us with our 2 year old lab. Staff were friendly and helpful. Having had a brunch near the beach earlier in the day we...

Visited for afternoon break. Mocha was great and so were Hot Chocolates made with Oat Milk. Highlight was gluten free and dairy free Toasted Teacake. Gluten free Fruit Scone (sadly for non dairy eaters not dairy free) with strawberry jam and cream was superb. Well...

We went twice when staying in Appledore for lunch and breakfast. The food was great and good value, the staff really friendly. Dogs are welcome too. When we arrived for breakfast, there was a queue to get in, it’s so popular. A really nice place.

A lovely cafe in the heart of Appledore, which soon became very busy on a Saturday morning. When we arrived (4 adults, 1 toddler & 2 dogs!) there were 3 other tables of couples already seated. We swiftly ordered our breakfast because it was about...

We chanced on this lovely cafe via the placard placed along the Quayside road. Easy to find and plentiful seating, inside and out. We were a party of 4 and there was a lot of choice to please us all. Menu varied and very reasonably...

Given the price... The other half loved her cream scone, especially the freshly baked scone with plenty of fruit & the decent strawberry jam. I was incredibly disappointed though with my Tomato, red onion, cheese & Worcester sauce sandwiches, with cole slaw and 'hand cut...

Had breakfast here after an overnight stay in Appledore. Lovely bacon sandwich, although my husband said his sausage in his sandwich could have been better quality. Bread was excellent. Smiley, happy waitresses and a great selection of teas. Would highly recommended

Ate breakfast here twice as part of large group, all staff very friendly, Premises dog friendly as well.Food cooked from local produce, nice size portions, cooked very well, with excellent service and good value for Money for the portion size. Good selection of cakes as...

Absolutely delicious breakfast and really good value, can't recommend enough. The menu is simple but has all the right things to cater for the meat eaters and vegetarians with some delicious cakes on offer as well. Need added a brownie as a side order to...

What a wonderful place tucked away in lovely Appledore. I had a regular English breakfast, the ingredients were all great produce, it was cooked to perfection and presented beautifully. The staff were all friendly and obliging and we didn’t have to wait too long for...

What a warm welcome. From the outset we were made to feel at home. Genuine warm and friendly service and the food was delicious. Highly recommend and will definitely be back. Thank you.

Fabulous cafe that is dog friendly. We came for a cream tea, but hubby opted for pate and my son had a devon pasty. All enjoyed. Lovely friendly service. I wish we'd noticed the take out meals earlier in the week. What an excellent idea...

A lovely quaint cafe situated in the streets in Appledore. Charming and well run with a great selection of food. We had a sandwich and a toasted sandwich both of which were really quite something presented with a salad and some hand cooked crisps it...

Have been here many times and was disappointed on my most recent visit. Although the teas and coffees were nice and the food is good, the staff are unsmiling, unfriendly and unwelcoming.

Excellent lunches and cakes and also home-made takeaway meals. Friendly, helpful staff. Dogs welcome. We enjoyed our visit.

Searching Appledore for somewhere to have a bite to eat or a coffee ? Then go off the sea front and visit here . Plenty of choice for breakfast , we grabbed 2 veggie breakfasts and a couple of hot drinks , all was very...

Went for breakfast. Good choice on the menu. Beautifully cooked and very friendly staff. Was quite busy for mid-week and out of season. Highly recommended.

Found this cafe by chance yesterday and so glad we did. We had a lovely cream tea, mine gluten free and my husband was given a free slice of cake to take away ( it was his birthday) To top it all our dog was...

Attractive café in Appledore. Good range of items on the menu and excellent serving staff. We had sausage and chutney toasties, mine with cheese, which arrived with crisps and tasty coleslaw. We had intended to have scones, clotted cream and preserves, as dessert but were...

Popped in here on our last day in Appledore. It is very nicely furnished and has a good spacious feel about it. The service was friendly and my cream tea was absolutely delicious. Very reasonably priced too ! Recommended !

Pity it is so small We were asked to wait outside on a bitterly cold day even though there were several empty tables. This happened at least four times. So we went around the corner to Seagate hotel, just as good with lovely food. Also...

We visited here twice whilst OK holiday in Appledore. The coffee is excellent, which isn't always a given. Unlike other places they actually know how to make a good Americano. The scones were delicious. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Our only complaint is more of...

My boyfriend and I stumbled upon the Market Street Kitchen, and wow we were seriously impressed. We started off by having the soup of the day, and a bacon sandwich which could be done on gluten free bread. Can I just say, the most amazing...

We had walked past before and were determined to try it and were amazed to find that it had a lovely garden seating area out back. Very friendly service and an enjoyable lunch. all very pleasant.

Yes this is a good breakfast so much so we came back again. You can have a full English or a small full English. On our second visit my husband had the full English again and I sampled the scrambled eggs on toast. They were...

Very friendly welcome and we only had a short wait for a table to become free. Very delicious breakfast and great service.

Visited twice during a stay in Appledore, once just for coffee in the delightful garden and then for Breakfast a couple of days later. Both visits were excellent and the breakfast was amazing. Lovely staff, top value and rightly popular!

We visited for brunch on Sunday and had lovely food. I had the scrambled eggs which were sublime and my friend had a very substantial bacon sandwich. Great coffee and tea too. Friendly service and very cosy environment (we sat inside). There is a lovely...

Love this place but.... Visited today and was greeted with 'Can I help you' Well we are visiting a cafe so was hoping for food and drink, so seemed like a pretty pointless geeting Next time maybe ,,,,,hello / good morning as you can see...

We visited here last week while staying in Appledore. We asked to sit in the rear garden as my daughter had her dog with her. The rear garden is a lovely environment. Quirky divided sections so it feels like you have your own little garden....

First rate breakfast , Good selection very clean and friendly service , recommend you book to avoid disappointment nice outside dining area also available

A must visit on our annual stay in Appledore and Josie and her team are still providing great food and great service. The open toasted sandwiches are a must to try.

With 6 adults, three year old, tiny baby, two small dogs not easy to find spaces for lunch. The staff were brilliant and found us perfect circular table in corner. The café is clearly brilliant at scone making so consequently and unusually you can choose...

We enjoyed a great family breakfast in their secret garden. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. This is a great little place and the food is fantastic.

A lovely little cafe in Appledore. We have popped in here for a pot of tea several times and it has always been good service and great tea. The food looks and smells great but we haven’t given in to temptation yet. Would recommend it...

Lovely little cafe, yes there is a wait but is expected during holiday season. The coffee wasn’t up to scratch today sadly as it has always been on previous occasions but still good enough to enjoy. The staff are lovely and polite and nothing is...

You might have to queue, but that’s a good sign. Lovely food and atmosphere and great staff. Creamy mushrooms on open toast a definite x

Hi we have been here a few times on our previous holidays and must say the experience is always great.the staff are brilliant and the food is great.the garden is lovely to sit in on a sunny day and to enjoy a cream tea.can’t wait...

We visited this cafe around 10 years ago when it was called Susie's Tea Room and it was fantastic (in fact we visited about 4 times in a week!) Unfortunately following a change in ownership things have changed for the worse, in a big way....

Not very big but you can sit in the garden. They have the added advantage that they accept well behaved dogs. Food was good and reasonably priced

We popped in here for lunch while mooching around Appledore. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. It was also nice to find somewhere we could just walk into and get a table - something that's very uncommon these days! The food was lovely -...

Must pay this lovely cafe a visit if in Appledore. We call several times when we visit on holiday and are never disappointed. It’s a place we can’t wait to get back to. Situated down a beautiful little street, sits this cafe and there is...

We visited on a Saturday morning and were first in the queue which had formed outside. The lady who opened the door really should not be greeting customers. She was not at all welcoming! The other staff were great but this lady seemed to have...

My daughter and I visited on a pleasant sunny day. The service was excellent and the staff so friendly and welcoming. We sat in the pretty garden and also visited the cute shop. The pot of tea actually served 5 cups and the scones were...

We were wandering around Appledore and stumbled upon this. They did gluten free food for my wife, so we had lunch in their delightful terraced garden. Service was good and attentive. i would thoroughly recommend this place summer or winter and the prices were reasonable.

My wife and I called in to have breakfast, sat in lovely courtyard garden. Very attentive staff and lovely food. Would highly recommend to anyone.

The food and service were great and good value. Setting was lovely and the garden was beautiful with plenty of shade if you want it. There is also a little craft/garden shop to browse.

Had a terrific brunch in the beautiful garden today, great service too. The Covid precautions are well managed by the staff. My wife had scrambled eggs on toast, I had bacon sandwich and flat white. Both were generous portions, freshly cooked and very tasty. Setting...

Amazing experience, we enjoyed 4 lovely breakfasts. Our gluten free friend ordered the same but the gluten free option was much larger, lucky girl! I absolutely loved the sausage, sometimes the sauce is a disappointment but not here, 10/10! However I wasn’t a fan of...

We decided to purchase more afternoon teas from here as the house we were staying in left us their afternoon teas & were lovely. We were greated at the door & our takeaway order was taken & put together quite quickly & we waited on...

We found this charming tearoom whilst exploring Appledore as it’s up a side street. We sat in the lovely garden and had lemon and blueberry cakes and tea, which came in a massive teapot.

Popped in for lunch. Had 2 salads, a tea and juice. Salad was nicely presented and had a good portion of chicken/tuna. Friendly staff.

First and foremost I want to say that the cafe was lovely, well decorated, lovely tableware and great food. This would be great is you have all the time in the world, unfortunately with a 1 and a 2 year old in tow, the pace...

Lovely little place. Fresh local cakes and pasties. Had a scone which was delicious and a huge pot of tea. The smell of smoked bacon cooking made me wish I’d had the full English!! Great place.

This place was amazing. Hidden down a back picturesque back street and with small frontage it doesn't look big but is a rabbit warren. The staff were very kind in their approach during this time and helping finding something to eat for my fussy 5...

Really impressed! Busy with buzzing atmosphere. Dog-friendly. Really hot and tasty drinks. Delicious cakes, etc. All very clean and comfortable, with good COVID protocols. Highly recommended!

Nice cafe in Appledore does a good breakfast and nice toasties, I called in here a couple of times during my week in Appledore and the staff were welcoming and friendly

The restaurant is busy, there is a small queue outside & this is mid October! They bring out chairs for the short wait, once inside good fresh food at fair prices. What we did notice was that locals were using the cafe, apparently they let...

dog friendly nice snacks, lovely coffee and dog friendly the service is very friendly but a little slow the toasties are great

Popped in here as it had fresh scones. It was lovely and clean and they had made a great effort to be COVID safe. The staff were really friendly and it was a lovely bonus being able to take our dog. Would definitely recommend.

Wouldn’t have found the Kitchen without TA tucked as it is in a small alley running parallel to the main, quay side, road. Properly Covid compliant we were found a table after queuing outside for approx. 10 minutes. Rustic cafe setting with a few tables...

This is a lovely family run pizzeria - the salads were huge and delicious whilst the pizzas were very good too (enough quality toppings) and a great thin base. Staff were very attentive throughout our visit and were able to accommodate us for dinner at...

Off the main thoroughfare in Appledore but worth seeking out. Lovely open sandwiches and really tasty scones including gluten free options. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, definitely a good place to stop when exploring the area.

Great selection of sandwich/jacket potato fillings. The cream teas and cakes looked really great too. Friendly and efficient service

Came here on the hunt for a cream tea whilst visiting appledore. It’s a little difficult to find as it’s not on the seafront but not too hard. They are well set up for the current restrictions and we really enjoyed our visit.

We had lunch outside in the back garden and our open sandwiches , scones and drinks were first class. The place was extremely COVID Safe and the friendly staff were super efficient in cleaning tables etc. We highly recommend this cafe any time of the day and is our go to place in Appledore.
