The Brew House in North Devon

We stopped off for a drink and snack. Clad we did. Good choice of toasted sandwiches,pasties and sausage rolls and cakes. Teas and coffees to pick from too. What I liked best was that it was roomy. You weren't squeezed in and felt relaxed. Nice place to sit and chill and chat.

Disappointed because we had read all the good reviews, but this wasn't for us. Sadly lacking in atmosphere, it was quiet and had an empty cafeteria feel. Decor needs jazzing up, plain grey walls and a bit of wood might have been trendy previously, but now very much lacks cosiness. There were a few small pictures on the walls for sale, but they were not enough to add style. Its very large inside and needs the space breaking up a bit, maybe separate into sections, some booths or more comfy settees? Coffee itself was fine but not the greatest really. Service was pleasant. Toilets, though clean had no soap in dispenser, which in my book is a major error, these should be checked regularly, especially in these covid times. Sorry, but won't be back.

Been coming here for years now use to be a lovely place but gone down hill, food still amazing but coffee not to usual standards and more often then not PAPER CUPS ! If I’m out having coffee I like a cup not take away, I can get take away coffee cheaper anywhere

Had a lovely lunch at the lovely place a nice friendly welcome from a chap was so nice Food was freshly prepared and presented well drinks nice and warm Menu choice good from drinks a plenty to cakes toasty and sandwiches Decor lovely old fashioned furniture and mirrors Toilets super clean And the whole place was nice and clean a nice find

Don't be deceived by the outside,once inside the space is huge,with a range of vintagey unmatching tables and chairs,and mirrors and pictures on the wall,giving it a lovely chilled atmosphere. Great coffee and cakes,and one of the few places that still have a loyalty card system where you get a free coffee AND a pastry after you've bought so many drinks.Always very efficient but friendly staff.The best coffee shop in North Devon in our opinion,and they still let you pay in cash if you want to.A few tables outside too if it's a nice day.

We only came across this by accident, as we haven’t been in the town for a while. Thought we would stop for a coffee, but wow what an amazing selection of sweet and savouries. Pasties, panini, cream teas, anything you could possibly want! Friendly service, attention to customers and apologies for waiting, although it was about 2 minutes! All the food is locally sourced where at all possible. If you come to Barnstaple you must visit.

Dropped in for a coffee fix. Friendly staff, spacious, clean premises in the style of a modern chain, such as Costa or Starbucks. But it's not a chain--it's (take a bow) an independent! And they served me a mean Americano with whole milk. Applause! I'd only just arrived in Barnstaple, and it got me off on the right foot with this impressive town. Looking for a coffee? Go here.

It's hard to find an independent cafe to work from. Most places are too small - or aren't set up - for remote workers. Brew House is remarkably gracious and happy for me to order a latte and work - without feeling guilty about taking up a table. There's lots of space, high-speed (reliable) internet, great coffee, and friendly staff.

Really nice shop with a friendly a chilled atmosphere. Stopped in for a drink and a snack to kill a bit of time in the morning. Potentially the best coffee and hot chocolates we have had locally. Very keen to go back for another visit.

Clean and tidy, dedicated staff and food enough for our incredibly fussy autistic son, who wolfed everything down for a change

I came in on an average Friday lunch and it was great the iced coffee is really nice and strong and refreshing change to the normal weak on branded coffee like the likes Costa and Starbucks. The panini I had was the garlic chick & tomato one and the garlic butter in there is to die for! It goes great with the tomato inside aswell just ugggggh! To die for! As it was going so well I went up for a 2nd round of food AKA desert growing outwards not upwards if you know what I mean! The caramel flapjack and salted brownie are heaven on a plate! I was served by a lovely black haired bearded gentlemen the first time who was very professional and happy! The 2nd time by the older gentleman, more of a silver fox man! Again amazing service overall and they brought it to my table for me! To summarize overall a really good experience and will return again!

I stopped off and had their chai latte and seeded flapjack, both were excellent and I would highly recommend

A very nice and relaxing atmosphere, the baristas are friendly and make a great coffee! Definitely worth a visit.

Discovered The Brew House by chance. Coffee great and excellent flapjack. Very friendly service, great selection of cakes and savouries.

“B’s cafe is the best cafe in the world” Benjamin age 4! Croissant devoured in seconds on every visit! 10/10 from all of us!

Visited Barnstaple whilst staying in nearby Appledore with my husband and our dog Archie. We were attracted by the sign saying “Dogs Welcome” and the lovely smell of pasties. Staff were very friendly and helpful.Plenty of room with a homely feel and a nice range of different seating areas to suit all. Large tasty pastie with a lovely side salad. Attractively presented coffee. Reasonably priced and lovely to find a decent place for a sit down where our furry friend is made welcome too.

Not very friendly customer service. Rude, ignorant and not very happy. Also, tuna & cheese panini should really have red onion on the label if it’s included!!

Usually visit a couple of times a week with friends. Clean surroundings ,friendly and reasonable prices. Decor is very pleasing.

Excellent service, coffee and cake. But observation of the staff I saw a dish cloth reach the floor and then used to wipe surfaces and crockery!!! Bit of a let down.

Good friendly service and very helpful. I returned as good selection of drinks. Only downside when customers are told 'that's alright' as if we are asking the earth A *you're welcome 'or similar would be more appropriate.

Lovely coffee house, staff were welcoming, attentive and friendly. Love the decor, they display art of local artists, available to purchase, which is a fab touch. We only stayed for coffee this time but will return for lunch next time we're in town! Can highly...

Very nice pasty and quiche. Lovely little bakery.

We popped in yesterday whilst out shopping, very pleasantly surprised with this great addition to Barnstaple. We normally stop off for a coffee / light luncheon on our infrequent visits to the town but found this and decided to go in and see what was...

Having driven from Southampton we needed a cup of coffee and a bite to eat. Found both at the Brew House. Friendly staff and excellent coffee. The toilets were exceptionally clean as well. Excellent coffee shop.

We visited The Brewhouse for lunch whilst visiting friends. We found the atmosphere calm and welcoming, the food fresh and the coffee exquisite. Thank you for having us and look forward to
