The Guardhouse Cafe Bar in Plymouth

Was told of this cafe, went with an old work colleague,when we arrived (09.30)there was a rush on with people collecting and ordering food for later,plus people sat out side . Owner said just take a seat I be with you soon. Not a problem we said. We sat chatting,looking around ,very clean place, enough seating for about 20 covers inside,same outside. A small nook with 2 leather sets in seating area ,idea for a quiet chat and coffee/tea. Owner came in after 15 mins.apologised again. Not an issue. Ordered 2 breakfast and 2 teas. Food arrived ,looked great tasted lovely,freshly cooked to order. 2 rounds of toast each,and a nice hot pot of tea each. Owner came over to ask how it was , we both said excellent and would Def return and recommend to others . Another pot of tea, then went to pay..it was the day of computer crash around world!!!!! Oops!!!!!! Could not pay full amount only had small amount with us. What to do,,well owner and son said not to worry pay next time you passing or come back . Thank you we said .. Doesn't that restore faith in community. I am going back on Tuesday 23rd and drop off money . Cost of breakfast £9.50. Tea £2.50 Plus not a scrap left on plate one of the best I've had if not best in a long time

Great latte coffee but coffee and walnut cake as dry as old boots, two waitresses seem interested, manager gave the coffee for free, my friend had the lemon drizzle cake which was delicious

Stop off here weekly for coffee as it’s the best coffee in town. Staff are always super friendly and although a small shop always has a nice atmosphere. Last few times I’ve gone to visit and passed by, the shop has been closed. Hope this is only temporary and not permanent!

We like the bread and the snack food here, as well as the friendly staff and atmosphere inside and out. When we go it’s generally busy. Came down this Wednesday and saw the chalk board sign with new times Thursday to Saturday only. There was nothing about this on the website and we hope that it’s only temporary.

This is such a warm and inviting place. We absolutely love it here. I cannot recommend it enough. The food is Excellent. I love the name of the place because it suits it so well. Homemade and truly authentic. You cannot go wrong.
