The Mess Room Coffee Shop in Plymouth

Good friendly service, quality ingredients, well cooked food. A lovely relaxing breakfast.

First time visiting and I'm now a regular. Excellent prices, service and quality. Love that the tea cakes use proper butter. Some places now use spread which to me is yuck! Highly recommend. Lovely atmosphere too.

Everything brilliant EXCEPT… hash browns are never cooked enough. Everyone I mention the mess rooms too always says the same thing, rubbish undercooked hash browns! Shame really!

Loved this waterfront cafe. Lovely food, lovely staff, close for a nice waterfront walk. Lovely decor.would definitely be going back to eat.

Nice little cafe tucked away, but with easy parking. Has a roof top terrace with good views. Varied menu of breakfast items, sandwiches, panninis, jacket potatoes, waffles and soup of the day. Super friendly staff and reasonable prices.

Well well. I finally visited. Heared about it for a while but never had a chance to go or knew where it was. I do now and don't regret the visit. Strongly recommend visiting even just for a coffee. Oh...if you fancy a Belgium waffles they are very good and similar to the ones sold in Belgium. Thank you. Great effort guys.

Went on recommendation of a friend and was not disappointed. Beautiful tasty breakfast, not a spot of grease on plate. Good service from friendly spots. Toilets spotless. Will definitely be going again. Bonus is plenty of parking spaces.

My husband, and I love to come here, it's such a friendly atmosphere with lovely food and great service.

Lovely cakes and coffees today. Thank you. Nice family friendly cafe.

Nice cafe. Friendly staff. The area around is a bit noisy with boats being moved ect

Good cafe, phone order available and takeaway. Often busy !!

Great spot for a snack or breakfast. Service is very good. Gets very busy at times.

Great quirky little place tucked away, service is good, food is always good with decent servings and prices reasonable.

First visit. Great atmosphere, staff work so hard but keep smiling and very friendly and veggie breakfast really good.

This cafe is a Hidden gem! Visited MessRoom quite a few times now at different times of the day, for coffee and for a meal and never left disappointed. The food is always fresh, delicious and nicely presented. Staff always greeted me with a smile and looked after every customer. I definitely recommend to visit MessRoom.

Always welcomed with smile and great quality food at a reasonable price! Will be back soon!

Well prepared food, friendly staff and a unique dining location

Rather expensive Long wait but nice

Really nice cafe in a busy boatyard. Great menu and definitely recommend.

Didn’t end up eating here as we sat down took 10mins to decide what we wanted ordered at 2:01pm and were told they stopped breakfast at 2pm . So we went elsewhere for breakfast type food. Nothing on board about 2pm but 2.01 really !!! And open till 3pm on website.

Always a go to for breakfast in Plymouth

Hello. This is a regular spot for me. It is consistently excellent. Always bursting with flavour and everything I’m looking for in a fry up- no grease and lots of taste. Lovely fluffy bread, succulent sausages. Pretty standard on price looking at £9-12 for a breakfast depending on size. I’ve attached a picture of the biggest one. Also the staff are always super polite and just nice people

A gem of a place great friendly staff. Food all cooked fresh and was amazing. Also nice to see a dog friendly food establishment.

Came here for breakfast with my husband. Food was very good not greasy, well presented. Coffee was decent. Friendly staff. There was only one thing I feel could be improved is the extraction fans as when we walked in it smelt like chip fat, when we left our clothes smelt of cooking.

Amazing food as always. Breakfasts are large and not really a coffee person, but always enjoy the cappuccinos. Really friendly and welcoming staff.

I always visit when I'm in Plymouth. Lovely friendly staff. Great menu. Clean environment.

Lovely food and lovely staff. Dog friendly is always a bonus. Only negative is no bookings allowed which makes me nervous to choose here when visiting as a larger group.

I've only been twice, but I already love it here so much. Service is exceptional, food and drinks are delicious, and the location is brilliant too. I'll keep coming back now that I've found you!

Lovely breakfast, come here fairly regularly,I really love the big wedges of toast and the breakfasts are great. I wish the coffee was a little better and there was wholegrain mustard available

Only had a drink but very friendly staff and clean kitchen xx

Fantastic breakfast. Coffee was excellent. Staff was brilliant very clean good price 👍 👌

Had breakfast which was very good enjoyed it thank you

Such a nice, cosy cafe with nice food to complement. Would recommend giving it a visit

Only go in for a coffee. Never had food but what I have seen meals look very good.

Great service, pleasant atmosphere, mediocre food

Great breakfast! Really nice place with a cosy atmosphere and good parking!

Very nice place, very nice staff, very nice food.

Nice setting, went for breakfast, limited menu, but good tasty food, staff lovely, friendly and attentive

Great food very difficult to get a seat as very busy

Un bon petit dej anglais, dans un super cadre, de passage a Plymouth nous avons adoré!

The cafe itself was very nice just trying to find it was the hardest part not many signs do you get to the gate of the yard but you are parking so it's good

Such a cozy warm place to eat lovely food and drink, situated in a lovely boat yard,, awesome place glad I stumbled on it will visit here a lot now

Mess room is ran by the best team. Beautiful food by beautiful people. If your coming by car DONT park like an idiot. Large machinery in operation. It’s a boatyard.

We had a lovely meal here yesterday morning. Food was delicious. Definitely recommend. Lovely décor!

Great place. Good food, friendly staff. Sitting on the roof terrace in fine weather a particular pleasure. Toilets a long walk away if mobility an issue.

First visit and loved the place. Definitely a place to visit again

Coffee was really good & tasty breakfast would go again

Such a lovely relaxed cafe, we visited here on my sons 21st just for breakfast. The food was incredible, the service was amazing and everyones food was piping hot (not kept just warm considering there was 8 of us!) They even went to the trouble of gifting my son a cake in a lovely 'happy 21st cake box' when they realised it was his birthday. And they have a roof top seating area too! def will be returning for more visits. Thankyou so much guys x

Lovely friendly staff, yummy Guinness cake and a massive pot of tea!

Great service and meal. Thank you 😊

Really good hearty breakfast. Warm friendly staff.

Love place. Fantastic coffee even better bacon sandwich 😋🥪

I have no idea who Big Will is, but his breakfast is outstanding. This place is a little gem, hidden by beautiful boats and a view of the river. Nothing is too much for the wonderful staff. You must visit, or visit their sister establishment, The Guard Room at Turnchapel.

As good as it always is, quick service and excellent food 👌😋

Love going to this place, eating and checking out all types of boats nearby. Staff are so friendly and cant do enough to help. Food is cooked to order and delicious....

Our experience at the Mess Room was mixed. The positives were that the waitresses and waiters were very friendly, and very accommodating of my partner's requirements as a coeliac. The coffee was also very nice. The negatives were that service was quite slow (we got there at just after 9am on a Sunday so it wasn't exactly peak hours). We all had cooked breakfasts, and I felt like mine could've been hotter - the mushrooms were essentially cold, and the egg was completely overcooked. So overall, a bit underwhelming.

We head for here whenever we're in the vicinity around lunchtime. It never disappoints with a good menu of nicely-prepared food, decent coffee and pleasant maritime surroundings (inside at least; outdoors is quite industrial). The only improvement I'd like to see is a better selection of cold drinks.

The nicest paninis ever! Thick cut gammon, super fresh and filling 😍 lovely decor, very friendly staff & very clean! Love this hidden gem💗

Excellent friendly service and vary palatable food and drink. Will definitely be returning and would highly recommend to other diners.

Big breakfasts, great cakes, lovely people, and good coffee - Perfect Sunday spot.

Never disappointed. A great place to eat alone or with company.

Enjoyable breakfast but two halves of toast with scrambled egg is insufficient for the price paid. Staff very hospitable and friendly.

Good food but claustrophobic. Popular had to wait for a seat. By Pomphlett creek, a marine boat yard. Toilets a distance to walk especially for disabled

Fabulous breakfast, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Highly recommended 👌

First time at the Mess room, nice atmosphere, good variety of food on the menu, well pleased.

Stopped in for a hot chocolate and chat with a friend. Lovely relaxing atmosphere. Very friendly, great chocolate.

Popped in for breakfast with my wife on a day off. Very tasty breakfast with clearly several regulars. Great atmosphere with a wood burning stove keeping it snug.

I love the mess room. A hidden gem.

Best barista coffee tasted so far in UK!

Staff always friendly and the food is delicious and well-priced. Highly recommended.

Popular cafe..nice and warm on a wet windy day. Perhaps I went at a busy time..it was pretty full..and there was a pair of dogs yapping at each other that got a bit annoying at close quarters. Not much the cafe can do about that I guess..especially in the winter. Food good..big portions.

Great place - whether for a quick coffee catch-up with a friend or a sit down full breakfast with the kids, one of my favourite places!

Great food cooked to order nice and fresh. Good friendly service would eat here again.

Love this cafe normally but today the food was very poor. We had a tuna melt and a chicken chilli melt. Both arrived with nothing melted and I sent it back. On return still not melted. Only very limited filling and no chilli. I'm writing this not to complain but to advise the owners to learn from it. Definitely the food has gone down hill since we last ate there. More attention to detail and more filling please.

Made a nice Change to sit in the sun with our food

Mother-in-law recommended last week so tried. wife meet old friend not seen for over 3 years great breakfast and coffee do a good selection of panini’s. When going here drive through the boat yard

Great breakfast options. Seating outside.

Very nice. Friendly staff. Weather was great so sat up stairs, out side.

Good food good price great staff

Good simple food nicely done. Located in a boatyard.

Excellent food and interesting location

Had an excellent breakfast everything was cooked fresh.

Bought 2 Cokes, 2 paninis, a Baked potato, a Fish finger sandwich...came to £39.40....Looking at the menu after should have came to £32, either menu prices misleading or were overcharged.

A nice place with good food and service. Plenty of seating, inside and out.

It was closed when I visited at 2.00pm

Still a great place if you choose a time when it's a bit quieter, as it can be very popular venue for breakfasts, etc. Friendly and obliging staff.

Quality breakfast. Worth paying a bit extra.

Lovely breakfast and really lovely staff. Will being having food there again very soon!!!

Great pace to go. They do an excellent breakfast as well as delicious lunches. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Nice breakfast run by nice people

Lovely place to eat , food is amazing , highly recommend a visit .

Lovely breakfast and decent prices too

Lovely breakfast without fail. Free and plentiful parking too

Good food, couldn't find toilets though.

What an amazing little hidden gem this place is! Parking is a little restricted, but it’s worth it

The mess room was very nice had a pot of tea and a toasted tea cake.

Great staff. Stunning location . Will def go again
