The Museum Cafe in Torbay

Lovely, friendly service, the savoury tea was delicious. The servers were so chatty and helpful and the prices were really reasonable.

Came here with the kids not expecting too much however to my surprise it was a lovely spot with amazing customer service despite the lengthy wait for food, I would rate the Museum Café an outstanding 4.5😍😜🩷🤩🌊🌴🤗🫂🇬🇧

Homemade cakes, hot lunches plus a friendly welcome, definitely worth popping into! Say hi to Barbara and Phil who have made it a great space to rest in between museum exhibits or even just visit if you are in the area.

Museum cafes can often be a little disappointing, with exorbitant prices aimed at a captive audience (you major national museums in London know who I mean!) This one is different. Nice, basic food and drink at extremely reasonable prices. It is rather tucked in a corner so is not large but never became full on the couple of times we visited.

Called in here for lunch while visiting the museum. Small menu of home made food. We had 2 paninis and one soup (parsnip and apple - YUM!). Then a pot of tea. It was very quiet and comfortable. Call in if you're passing

This is small but is good. They have gluten free cakes and alternative milk if needed. Positioned on the ground floor and close to toilets.

Considering this cafe is away from town it does not tack cards turned away six eat else we’re will not return stafe friendly though

This is a nice cafe with friendly staff ad good coffee, tea and cakes. It has outdoor as well as indoor tables and what is more is free to enter.

There is a simple menu which is cooked to order. The service is friendly and the cook is willing to please. She will accept requests and cook the food how you like it.

food was good when it (eventually) arrived but I'd avoid unless it's just for a coffee sort of thing. Take sarnies or plan your museum visit not to include lunchtime.

Called in for a quick coffee and cake on our visit, I can recommend the fruitcake. Staff were very friendly.

oh dear, I have included a review of this restaurant with the museum but never mind it is worth making another mention. There are two specialities of this cafe restaurant, one is coffee and cakes, and the other is soups. In addition, up to 80 people are served on Tuesdays and Wednesdays when they have special social events for senior people. There are 32 covers but they do have more tables and chairs to accommodate up to 36 people. The lady owner is injecting new ideas not the least of which are new ideas for soup. I can unhesitatingly recommend this place; you never know what new ideas she will introduce for a lunch and I can guarantee good quality of home cooking and a reasonable price

Had a great meal here. Jackie the new owner is really friendly and can't do enough for you. The food is homemade so she knows exactly what ingredients are in each dish, great if you have allergies. Main meals are around £5 mark and licensed as well so you can enjoy a tipple. I had the macaroni cheese bake and it came with side salad and a crusty roll. You can access the café without visiting the museum as well which is good.

Excellent light meals. Cafe is under new management and has had a turn around. The menu offers more choice and the food is hot, delicious and good value.

The café is a cosy place to enjoy a drink or snack before, during or after a visit to the Museum. The ice cream was delicious. There are seats outside if the weather is fine. The staff were friendly and helpful. Thank you.

Had a light lunch before using the railwaythe views were very good,the café was very clean, the food very nice and the staff very cheerful.

Fantastic cake and great hospitality! Well recommended for locals who are not just visting the museum.

We went to the museum and after the visit there we had lunch at the café and it was all very good! So we decided to go back for lunch the following day too! Homemade meals and very nice, friendly and service minded staff.

Had a lovely coffee here. Was pleasantly surprised when I walked in at how cute it was. Lady that works there was friendly and the coffee was great!

Went for a browse round museum other day and a coffee and light snack at museum cafe. All I can say is what a terrible day it turned out to be. A crying baby in cafe with a child looking after it a most miserable woman serving teas and a foul mouthed woman in kitchen.All I could hear was the baby crying and her shouting I do not know what the head of the museum is doing allowing a baby and child to even be in the cafe when customers are and should be the priority. Keep away if you value your sanity. I will not return and will tell others not to visit the cafe or museum all you hear is baby crying and vile language. Go to Abbey instead.

Has its own entrance so not essential to visit the museum. Always immaculate, friendly with good food. Prices very reasonable.

At the Museum for most of the 'Activity' day with my daughter. Hot chocolate and cake to start. A lot of thought and care had been taken in the Halloween themed cakes; but they were rather sweet.

Service was slow and food and drinks were over-priced for the quality offered. A disappointing visit.

Stumbled across this cafe on a rainy day in Torquay. Could not have been more surprised with the food on offer, particularly the homemade cakes and roast dinners. The food was simply outstanding and at typical cafe prices, I could not have been more impressed!! See you again soon!

Beautiful little cafe, lovely home made food (especially the roast dinners) with lovely warm welcoming staff. Would recommend it to anyone. :)

We asked Sarah to cater for our 5th Season of Doorstep Theatre. Not only was the food really delicious, they were organised, friendly and efficient! We will definitely come back again with the Festival and I will also come back with my own family :)

Delightful, friendly,warm and inviting. Times gone by. Ladies were lovely, it was like going to visit granny in her old country cottage. The service industry as it should be.
