The Cross Street Cafe in Teignbridge

Spur of the moment decision for a Sunday roast and there was one table free. The host made us very welcome and there is a real friendly buzz. It is not a large cafe but individual attention and we would definitely return if ever in the area again. Only complaint - too much food so couldn’t have dessert!!!

I happened to come across the cafe on social media a few days ago and phoned to see if there was space for 2 for a Sunday roast today. We were in luck! Neither of us find it easy walking into somewhere new but somehow this wasn’t a problem today. The lady even remembered my name from the booking! The roast was the best I’ve had in memory and all in all it was just wonderful. I’m sure we will be back soon!

Love this place. Such a special cafe. With a warm welcome. Excellent coffee And home cooking. Cosy seating. Excellent take away Mac and cheese with added extras and delicious beef bourguignon during Covid times.

We had a lovely breakfast here. It's a great cafe with friendly service. Well worth a visit. They also sell some lovely local produce like hit sauce and honey.

We found this little cafe by chance looking around for somewhere to have lunch. It can be described as one of Devon's best kept secrets. The standard of cooking is first rate. There was a friendly welcome and a reasonable (but not huge) range of dishes on offer. My wife loved her 3-bean salad and my beef pasty was excellent,as good as the best Cornish pasties made in Cornwall (e.g. Philps or Ann's).There was a selection of delicious home-made cakes ( we had a couple). The cost of the food was very reasonable. All in all a very good find.

What a fantastic find today, a great cup of tea, scone with clotted cream & jam to die for, excellent service, thank you Emma 😁

We were looking for somewhere to eat and stumbled across this place on Trip advisor. We decided to give it a go purely on the excellent reviews and photos left from previous visitors. I’m so glad we did. It’s a lovely looking cafe and feels very warm and welcoming the lady that serves us was very friendly and polite. The food tasted great, the portion size was very generous and the price was well priced, if not a little on the cheap side. If we happen to be in the area again we’ll definitely be visiting again and I’ve already recommended it to my Mum and Dad who are regular visitors to the Dartmoor area.

Stopped by after a trip to the Motor Museum (great place as well to spend an hour or so) a really lovely little cafe, we went with our little dog and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Great gluten free options and cream tea was delicious. Definitely worth a visit to help support these local small businesses in these uncertain times.

We dropped in today by chance and were so impressed by the amazing value for money , tasty dishes and helpful staff . Would love to eat our way through the menu and sample everything !

A little gem of a cafe. Outstanding food, friendly staff. The beetroot soup and salads highly recommended. Good value too.

This cafe was a chance stop in a long trip. The ervice was excellent with the young man serving us being smart, respectful and polite. The menu was varied with a choice of interesting light meals. All the covid precautions were in place and undertaken in a quiet manner.It was a very welcome relaxing break in our journey.

I have visited several times and have always found the atmosphere to be friendly, and excellent food and drink. The ice cream milkshakes are delicious and the brownies are amazing. Perfect for a stop before or after a walk on the moor. Would really recommend!

This is a really fun place for lunch, as long as you're not in a hurry. Service is relaxed, as is the atmosphere, and when it comes the food is excellent. We had delicious soup with an amazing cheese and olive scone. Also good cake. Very nice atmosphere. The sort of place you leave feeling happy!

Friendly cafe with good home cooked food. Small so can get crowded. Family friendly and dog friendly too. Fantastic home made soup

This was my first visit here There is a choice of gluten free options, I chose the sweet potato hash browns with scrambled egg, and very good it was too.There was a nice atmosphere in the little cafe and I will call in again when in town.

Good range of food with excellent service. Cosy and friendly. Definitely recommend a visit if your hungry.

We popped in here in a bit of a hurry on the way to a friends wedding. It was no problem at all. We were offered two sandwiches to take away, both of which were very generously filled and tasty. I also bought a piece of flapjack which was excellent - just the right level of sticky goodness. Would definitely come here again if in the area.

Very helpful staff. Small cafe and shop. Wholesome food very well priced. Will cater for dietary issues. Added bonus, vintage Bob Dylan music in background when we visited.

A cracking cafe!Clean, tidy and with a range of good value for money food and drinks.Prompt service from owners Joe and Emma.A relaxed and welcoming cafe which is always good to be in.Would highly recommend a visit if you are in the town.

Food always delicious in a lovely atmosphere. Different homemade cakes daily and fabulous scones. They also make a good cup of coffee.

Fantastic lunch for all the family. Great food at a reasonable price with very good service. Highly recommend a visit.

Again found this place by chance and an excellent find for our last cream tea.Scones were nice and moist and fruity and service was very friendly. It also has a great small deli on the side with some great Beers and Gins.Cannot find receipt but think tea was approx £6.25 each.

The cafe is a stones throw from the centre of the village. It is open 12-4 and serves lunch and tea, including cream teas. The service is really friendly and the food it good and prices very reasonable. A good find

This is a very nice café with very friendly service.

We 'Stumbled' across this lovely cafe on the way back from a long weekend looking for a quick bite. The Coffee was excellent, Food was excellent (they don't skimp on the fillings) and the shop itself is lovely in the summer.

I am a Hongkonger and a proper foodie, I eat a lot and need carbohydrates a lot. The macaroni cheese here is wonderful, very tasty. We also ordered beef pasty and smoked salmon baguette... which made by local produce from Devon 很高水準的食物，餐廳支持本地生產，食材大多來自Devon。環境非常乾淨、舒適。是一間不錯的cafe,CP價高。餐廳提供的chili sauce是亮點，如果你是喜歡吃辣的，可以在餐廳購買1枝，只需4磅。比Tabasco更正!

We stumbled across Cross Street Cafe by accident. We were on holiday with friends in Devon every day had been wet and miserable. We needed something to warm and cheer us. The cafe definitely did that the food and service was amazing. Pity Joe supported the wrong football team .

Popped in for breakfast - I had the Sweet potato hash brown with egg and my wife had GF pancakes with bacon and maple syrup. Both were cooked really well and served by the friendly host. My wife was pleased to see the GF options available. Lovely little cafe run by husband and wife team and well worth a visit if in the area.

Excellent coffee and high quality small menu (excellent homemade pasties, ploughman’s). Very friendly service and good atmosphere/stylish decor

After an 8 km's walk to King's Tor, we promised ourselves a nice cream tea, and found this really nice tea room with lots of cakes etc. Lovely atmosphere, very friendly owners and great scones and tea.

Popped in here for a spot of lunch and were greeted by a friendly gentleman. Short menu including a range of soups, pasties, sandwiches & cakes plus tea, coffee etc and a range of interesting beers! Everything appeared to be home made and was good quality. We decided to share a tasty panini & scone which were nicely presented & amongst the best we had in our short tour of the area.

I travel a lot in the South West and found the The Cross Street Cafe this week . What a friendly place the owners have a natural charm . The food and service is the very best. I loved the Breakfast and the Cream Tea ( Try the Fruit Scone ).

Brilliant atmosphere, 60s music which made the excellent food an excellent lunch out.

Stopped here for breakfast after hearing it was good, so glad we did ! Bacon ,sausages and eggs were all of excellent quality. I had delicious sweet potato hash browns , and superb coffee. A little gem of a place.

Warm friendly welcome, excellent cake, scones and teacakes (and I'm a connoisseuse!) great music, and the coffee is really good. This is just what Moretonhampstead needs.

Cozy an friendly. Food tasty and hot. Clean with friendly staff. Stumbled gratefully upon. Very busy which is always a good sign. Plenty of choice.

Yep, as they've all said, it's great.

I only write reviews when I come across something that warrants it...Be it good or bad...Well this time I am pleased to say this is one of the good reviews.....I travel extensively through the US and the UK hence the username......I am a coffee connoisseur and passing through Moretonhampstead in Devon in good old England my wife and I both started looking for the caffeine fix establishments...found "The Cross Street Cafe" and walking past noticing it was very busy, upon walking back looking inside the establishment was still busy...this is always a good sign that the owner seems to be doing something right. Ordered two latte's and as you know these small establishments only usually take debit cards and cash with certain credit cards accepted but hey wait a minute this place takes all cards I can get some points from my reward card.. The coffee arrived now on first view the presentation is very good and the texture looked good meaning this guy who prepared it knew how to get the micro bubbles into the milk and keep them there, unlike some places that don't really know how to prepare the perfect cup...Well upon tasting the coffee it was rich creamy with a balanced taste of the coffee..what had the barista done...he had prepared the coffee perfectly. My wife looked at me knowing full well I do comment but she knew I was impressed because I took two sips not one and she too smiled as the coffee hit the back of the mouth. At last an establishment who gets my five star award...

Fun place with great music and fabulous service. My brother really enjoyed his english breakfast and I had pancakes which would have been perfect had the centers been cooked a little more. They even allowed dogs in this place which is just wonderful...wish we had places like this in the USA.

Popped in for a light lunch as we were in Moretonhampstead and checked out the local reviews of light bites. I had the macaroni cheese with garlic bread which was a really good size, piping hot and beautiful. My mum had the soup (tomato) with a cheese scone and my dad had a beef pasty. Fast service, lovely coffee and a great find. Really well priced. Recommend this café to all for a quick bite, or a coffee break. Very friendly staff too,and a couple of cute dogs helped.

Came across this coffee shop on our last visit to Moretonhampstead and said we would try it out next time we visited . It was a excellent very busy little coffee shop , Friendly helpful staff they had a choice of DF milk and GF carrot cake it tasted really good . I asked the nice gentleman if they have available gluten free bread for when I come again so that I could get a cooked breakfast or sandwiches for lunch yes he told me no problem .

Wonderful cafe, best brownie I’ve ever tasted and delicious coffee and milkshakes, would recommend this cafe to everybody.

A lovely place to call in to for coffee, lunch or tea. We shared a 2 scone cream tea and a piece of carrot cake which were very good. Masses of jam and clotted cream, too much to use which is rare and enormous scones.

Whilst we had no knowledge, other than tripadvisor, of this little cafe we hunted it down and are very pleased that we did. The welcome was more than polite and we really felt that our custom was welcomed. It wax mid afternoon so it was just a cream tea for us but it was perfection. Although we didn't participate from the lunch menu it looked good to us and reasonably priced. If in the area make a point of calling not only to experience the food but the friendliness of the staff/owners.

Brilliant, Joe and Emma are amazing, the place is lovely and the service, food and drinks are perfect. Location couldn't be better. A true Dartmoor cafe for all.

Had decided to visit Moretonhampstead to go to the Green Shoe shop and called into the Cross Street cafe for lunch having not read any reviews. We were delighted friendly good service very pleasant. Small but clean and welcoming. Chilli con carne and a goats cheese salad and coffee. Delicious home made chilli lovely fresh salad excellent coffee. No hesitation in recommending them.

Stopped for lunch. Excellent little cafe. Good quality food . Personally run. Will be back to sample a cream tea.

We tried this cafe having seen other people heading in. It's small but a real treat. Very friendly, with reasonably priced, delicious food. We'll be back!

Came here after seeing it recommended on trip advisor and it didn't disappoint! Local cafe with friendly owners and really tasty food. We had a latte and strawberry milkshake. Then maccoroni cheese and the ploughmans...tough decision when there's 4 different homemade soups on the menu aswell

We have eaten twice here and loved the food both times. Soup, paninis, salad, homemade cake and drinks.

Popped in at 4pm the other day after long day on Dartmoor. What a find !! open till 5pm for lovely food and drinks.

This was our second visit to Cross Street Cafe but this time for breakfast, prior to leaving Devon. Some changes have been made, but all benefit and improve the Cafe. Our choice of bacon, scrambled eggs and avocados on toast, accompanied by tea was delicious. Just the job before a drive to the airport, light yet filling.

On a recent long journey from Devon to Oxford we stopped in Moretonhampstead in search of late lunch and were thrilled to find The Cross Street Cafe. They served excellent soup, cake, tea and other sustaining fare. I would recommend highly.

Stumbled on this cafe on my way back from Cornwall on a drizzly Sunday morning. A warm welcome and an imaginative menu. Great coffee and a friendly buzz

Friendly welcome on arrival. Excellent lunchtime meal with good beer. Great ambience - decor and music have a unique vibe.

excellent cafe. soup and scones were delicious, very friendly. good choice of teas. Highly recommended.

Stopped in here for lunch this week, the staff were friendly, the food was amazing and reasonably priced (the quiche was especially good). We would definitely recommend!

Had breakfast here before heading up on to the moor. Very friendly and attentive service. An excellent breakfast and the coffee is superb. We will come again.

A really charming little cafe nestled just off the main town square. A real favourite with the locals thanks to its delightful staff (including a stunning golden labrador) and excellent menu. The cafe goes beyond the usual cafe grub with creative and delicious home-cooked meals and moorish cakes. All kinds of dietary requirements are catered for and the owners could not be friendlier. Definitely recommend this spot for a lovely lunch in this atmospheric little spot.

We were in Moretonhampstead to visit a friend and this café was recommended, we were really impressed by everything there - the food, the decor, the couple running it. I had the homemade leek and potato soup and the best ever cheese and olive scone which was baked by the owner. My husband had the sausage bap made with locally sourced sausages. What a gem this is. It's my new favourite place to eat. Whatever you are doing, please keep doing it - you've got the formula right.

Lucky enough to have found this tiny cafe for lunch. We walked in and pretty much sat straight down in the window seats. The chap who probably runs the place was very helpful and made us and our dog very welcome.

Colleagues at Moretonhampstead hospital recommended your take away bacon sandwiches....they weren't wrong, the best bacon sandwich I have ever had, loads of lean tasty bacon in fresh squidgy bread, it was amazing!!! So tasty and so filling.....I will be back 😁 10/10

We were aiming to get lunch. The cafe was busy but some tables with 4 seats only had 2 people at them. As we walked in and looked round, a male member of staff said "We're full". A very pleasant young woman invited us to share her table with us, at which point the same male barked "we're not serving food" - patently not the case as everyone was eating lunch! So we left and went to a cafe nearby. This was on the day of the village carnival and we were aware that some places were closing early. Perhaps we were indeed just a bit too late - but there are ways of delivering a message that are more friendly and leave a better impression.

4 stars is no sort of criticism! Friendly and stress free café provided excellent sandwiches and attentive good humoured service. Southampton FC supporters (not me) will get a special welcome, I suspect. The premises are not massive but clean (including the toilets) and smart.

So nice to have oat milk in my coffee at no extra charge. Lovely coffees and delicious cake. Would recommend.

Very good food and service. The quiche was excellent, disappointed there was no salad cream (I walked to buy my own from the local co op - a must with quiche imho). Macaroni Cheese was really good. Otherwise very attentive and friendly.

Prima leuke plek voor koffie met gebak of lunch na de wandeling. Vriendelijk,betaalbaar en echt vers.

What a great place all our family visited. Best Coffee/Walnut cake for a treat and wonderful sandwiches for the rest of family. Hot chocolate the best. Great customer service and very friendly. Worth a visit

Stopped off at this Cafe on the way back to the Midlands. Lovely food, a very good hot chocolate, very friendly service and reasonably priced.

Would recommend! £4 for tea/coffee (choice of coffee, so we had flatwhite), scone, cream and jam, but served with essentially unlimited cream and jam - how it should be! - and great tasting home made scones. Perfect stop off for our day cycling

We stopped here for a tea and coffe break on our drive across Dartmoor. It's a very nice small cafe with good service by friendly people. We enjoyed our coffees and teas and will stop here again if passing.

I wouldn't normally leave a review after just popping in somewhere just for coffee.

The atmosphere in here was great. I can highly recommend the buffalo goulash, really tasty. A varied salad was served with the baguettes with a great choice of amazing dressings. Better than your usual boring and bland garnish. Delicious coffee as well. Cannot fault anything here.

Brilliant cafe Fab food and always a friendly vibe Fantastic olive and herb scones ! Well worth using

The place was completely empty when we arrived, so was a little uncertain. The owner came in moments later with a cheery hello. I can heartily recommend the savoury scone (olives), absolutely fantastic. The soup and Salmon sandwiches were generous and delicious. There's a delightful ambience to the place with framed old concert posters on the wall.

Great food, very friendly service and good value. I'd recommend to anybody! They are dog friendly, and they make the majority of the food from scratch!

Jo and Emma have a great cafe in Moreton, dogs and children welcome . Beautiful home made cakes,cookies and scones. Also a really nicely balanced

By far the best cafe in moretonhampstead, homemade, fresh and tasty food! Excellent coffee and brilliant atmosphere couldn't recommend enough.

We stopped off here for late breakfast/brunch and received a warm welcome. This was a real gem of a place to find. Lovely selection breakfast dishes to suit most tastes and all freshly prepared. Flapjacks and cakes also looked delicious but we were full after our brunch. Great coffee and milkshakes! The pancakes and bacon were some of best I’ve had with plenty of maple syrup. Clean plates all round. Reasonably priced and I would definitely go back. We could do with more cafes like this in the U K so it deserves to be recognised.

Went here for lunch on the way to Cornwall. Can highly recommend the whole experience Eggs with sweet potato hash browns was delicious, goats cheese salad enough for two people excellent, home made quiche to die for, avocado, bacon and scrambled egg on toast wonderful and sausage and bacon sandwich just right

Freshly baked home made fruit scones, proper tea in a proper pot, cream and jam to die for, wonderful staff, and very reasonably priced to boot. Card and board games available, which we enjoyed. Also 3 types of milk alternatives!

What a find! Delicious food with exceptional, friendly service.

Great little place with lovely character and charming hosts. Cream tea is fine, smoothies good too, but it’s unclear if you can actually taste the spinach in the superfoods smoothie!

We happened across this cafe by chance when passing through moretonhampstead and were looking for somewhere for lunch. We were so impressed. The food was fantastic....really fresh, wholesome and delicious not to mention great value. The coffee was top notch also. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

Stopped first just for coffee. We were impressed by friendly service, nice ambience and good menu so we returned with friends for lunch. We were not disappointed. Food was tasty, interesting and good value. Service was cheerful and efficient.

Stopped for a cuppa and were delighted to find the loveliest selection of cream teas and cakes to choose from. Good range of teas as well. Superb!

We were so lucky to come across this lovely cafe. We had lunch which consisted of a Turkey, Bacon and Avocado Baguette and a Chicken Panini both of which were delicious and of very high quality but also not overpriced. The surroundings are pleasant and staff friendly. If like us and love a good cafe then you will not be disappointed. Well worth seeking out if you are in the area!

wow , my first visit here , lovely new owners very polite and helpful, we ordered a traditional breakfast choosing what we liked arrived fresh and hot awesome flavours all went down with lovely coffee, are be back very soon

We had breakfast here last week and it was absolutely delicious. Great, friendly service and nice big helping. Loved it!

We had a quick lunch at the cafe and were delighted with both meals; I had an excellent home-made lentil & bacon soup (thick and tasty with lots of extra veg); and my wife had a very good ham sandwich and salad with a particularly good French Dressing (from a choice of three). Very nice staff. Easy place to recommend.

Lovely cafe. Simply it beautifully furnished with interesting art . Straightforward efficient friendly service. Great coffee. Food is made to order from scratch with fresh ingredients. Really good. We enjoyed our breakfast enormously

So we ended up in Moretonhampstead more by accident that design but needed some lunch so had a wander. Choice seemed to be very dark pubs or a very twee cafe then around the corner we found The Cross Street.

Stopped here on our bikes for some breakfast, very friendly and superb food and coffee, definately worth a visit !

Stopped off to have a little walk around the town and came across this cafe. So glad we did! They were so welcoming and accommodating for the 6 of us. We had a delicious cream tea and then a visit from their new puppy 'Cooper'. Very reasonably priced menu. Will definitely visit again if in the area.

Incredibly welcoming, child-friendly dog-loving, great music, lovely big breakfasts (please get non-dairy spread!) and best cappucino froth since I left London. I fancy moving to Moretonhampstead on the strength of this. Shall return. Thankyou.

This little cafe tucked just off the main area of the interesting little town of Moretonhampstead is lovely. The owners are really friendly and the food - which all home made - is superb and reasonably priced. Well worth a visit and highly recommended

Great food and service (so pleased we chose this for our stop-off lunch after trip across Dartmoor - thoroughly recommended.

Found this lovely cafe after a walk from north Bovey, really fancied a cream tea as we were in Devon and wasn't disappointed. Loved the fact you could just have one scone as we are always watching our weight and what a scone it was, the best I had ever had. The young owners were a delight, really recommend popping in if you are in the area.

We needed a stop following a lovely drive across Dartmoor. We found the cafe and Joe and Emma were really cheerful, having conversations with customers whilst taking orders. The menu was short and sweet, with some specials on boards around the room. My sandwich was really fresh and the berry smoothy was fantastic.

We are regulars to this beautiful cafe, eating in and take away. Whether I go in first thing in the morning, lunch or later the atmosphere is always friendly and welcoming! The food is amazing and the portions very generous, my kids would much prefer to eat here all the time I think. Nothing is ever too much hassle for Emma and Joe, they always smile, even when we have some stupid request The place is always spotless, good music, perfect. Well worth a visit! I apologise in advance if my muddy wellies are in your way by the front door!
