The Noble Tree in Torbay

Perfectly Perfect in Every Way!!! My first comment says it all - no more needs to be said, but Trust Pilot wouldn't let me post with so few words, so.... You'd have to travel FAR to get a better coffee. Tracey and her colleague are welcoming and the best of hosts. The Noble Tree is comfortably unpretentious, truly a place where you can relax and just 'be', you can sit quietly, read, chat to Tracey and / or other patrons, go with friends for delicious home cooking and / or cakes etc. The reasons for you to visit go on. As I said - Perfectly Perfect in Every Way!!!

Great food and service. Very cosy.

Virkelig hyggelig lille café, ligner en stue. Lækker kaffe, lemonade og lette frokostretter. Vi er i alderen 16-50 og alle fandt noget de kunne lide

Super coffee bar. Relaxed atmosphere...Had a great cappuccino..did not eat this visit but will on my next visit. I highly recommend this place ...

Truly outstanding coffee, as someone who appreciates great coffee I love this little shop. Has a great relaxing atmosphere, playing vinyl and good range of cake! They're doing a great looking range of savoury food as well, didn't try it today . Bought some beans for my home set up too, great stuff. They only seem to be improving as time moves on! Love this place

A proper traditional coffee shop with more varieties of coffee (as in the extraction process) than typically offered by cafes. Impressed to see it uses organic ingredients including milk from Riverford. Homemade mandarin flapjack was buttery and top quality, and the coffee beans had a subtle interesting flavour, a bit different to other more neutral coffees. I believe there are different varieties of beans available. Look forward to trying some freshly made sandwiches, paninis or bagels, and more cakes, later.

I have been a customer here for years great coffee and food love this little place thanks Tracy

Delicious breakfast, fresh coffee, and friendly staff. Highly recommend 👌

Absolutely lovely place 💗 and coffee is amazing ☕️

Excellent choice of coffee blends, lovely soup, music from a wide vinyl selection, excellent staff. The most unexpected and joyous experience.

Lovely little coffee shop on a somewhat run down Torquay street, so this little gem comes as a surprise. Good coffee for the coffee junkie, had a very tasty lemon drizzle cake, and range of different seating including comfy armchairs. Very friendly and homely service and atmosphere.

I've been here quite a few times, small place, with lovely people, and they do have really good coffee ☕️, but this time felt like having tea. Simple and tasty food.

Cosy, a bit boho, great breakfast bagel and good service.

What a little gem this place is! Lovely sandwiches, cake and coffee and tea. Thank you very much.

Fantastic little local independent cafe with an interesting coffee history! Delicious food, very generous portions and lovely coffee. Most importantly, the lady running the cafe was so friendly and attentive and seamlessly multitasked keeping a lovely busy cafe going! Thanks again, would recommend to anyone visiting the area wanting a delicious brunch/lunch in a cosy cafe 🥰 cake selection was fab too

Lovely little cafe found for our bi-weekly visits to the area. Food is freshly prepared, and tea is served in the old traditional manner, tea leaves and strainer. We will certainly be heading back on the next visit. Thanks

A return visit to this charming, rustic and unique café. Clearly supported by locals. Music on vinyls. Great coffee. Generously filled sandwiches in fresh hand cut chunky bread. Very good soup of the day. Water brought to the table upon arrival. Very Aotearoa New Zealand. Comfy sofas and chairs. No plastic plants. At the better end of Union Street. 🇬🇧🇳🇿

Really nice independent - good food, friendly service, great value. Dog friendly too 😁

It is an indescribable place. If want to taste the authentic local breakfast, come here and you will not regret at all. مكان يفوز بجميع المقاييس ،، والأكل لذيذ وأعتقد يستحق الزيارة أكثر من مرة.

المكان رائع جداً جداً والتعامل راقي اعجبتني الضيافه قبل طلب الطعام واعجبني الافطار كثيراً .. احببت المكان . : The place is very nice and the treatment is very elegant I liked the hospitality before ordering food And I liked the breakfast very much .. I liked the place

The Team were so welcoming with my dog and gave me treats for him. They suggested a cold chai that was delicious and the chicken and avocado bagel with mustard was winderful, I will be borrowing this idea for the future! Thank you team ☺️

We really loved this stylish little café! The coffee just tasted really, the service was really nice and friendly, and the panini we tried were super tasty. Definitely recommended!

I rarely get an opportunity to choose the beans for my coffee, but 3 coffees - including an Ethiopian which was very tasty. If you ever pass, this place is a must. Friendly and welcoming staff, great atmosphere, records, amazing. Thanks again.

Outstanding flat white and nice decor

Best coffee in Torquay, they offer a variety of alternatives to cows milk. Tasty home made cakes. Very friendly

Lovely coffee and the BEST chocolate brownies. Great, friendly service

Excellent coffee, warm and welcoming atmosphere. I had scrambled eggs on toast, old mate had bacon and chilli jam sandwich. Simple, delicious, generous. Would go back in a heart beat.

A charming coffee shop with a 'homely' vibe and a cozy vintage style.

Got a nice takeaway coffee from a friendly member of staff on my way into Torquay from Torre Station. Saved my pennies in town to support this local business on my way home but the same person refused to sell me a bagel as they shut in 20 mins . So I walked out past two people tucking into fresh hot food and travelled all the way back to Exeter grumoy and hungry. I would've been happy with a takeaway. So be careful when you get there I guess.

Excellent food, great service and good atmosphere.

Cosy and rustic with old sofas and arm chairs. Could be in someone's front room. Vinyls.Tap water brought to the table upon arrival. Good coffee and unpretentious food. Our new go to place when at the new hairdresser WO just up the road.🇬🇧🇳🇿

Love this little gem of a coffee shop, great food, cakes and different coffees than the big boys. Homely feel, comfy and music from eras gone by.

Lots of character with good food and even better coffee.

Great atmosphere and my local go to for great coffee!! Highly recommended!

Nice little cafe recommend by a friend. I'll be passing on the good complement too.

Great Artisan coffee shop great coffe fresh hit croissant every morning opens at 8 get there before they are gone. Great Deli food too

Best coffee shop i've been to, always a decent cup and a very good taste in music.

I was really impressed by this cafe. Was on the look out for decent coffee on my short visit to Torquay area and it didn’t disappoint. The place is quirky, well thought out, chilled vibe and excellent service on top. You have good selection of coffee preparations (including Aeropress) and there were 3 types of beans on offer when I was there. There are also a number of hot and cold food options. I enjoyed the coffee - decent strength and well prepared - for food I went for toasted tea cakes which was nicely presented. The decor is quirky/cute vibe with an old record player playing some cool tracks (with a cool selection of records in the rack). I recommend trying this place if I’m Torquay area. :)

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, excellent selection of coffee.

Lovely atmosphere and great wholesome food. I'm not a coffee person but I tried a few anyway and found the staff were able to recommend the right one for me. Maybe this experience has swung me :)

Gorgeous! Lovely staff and very reasonable prices! Will definitely be our new regular

The Noble Tree offers a cozy and comfortable atmosphere for a cup of coffee, a meal and a chat and has a varied and unique menu catering well to Vegans+Vegetarians with great selection of dishes for any customer. If you're in the area and looking for a quiet spot to enjoy brunch/lunch, then I can wholeheartedly recommend stopping by :)

Good to be back. Excellent food and coffee plus you can always count on a warm welcome from Tracy and the team.

Delicious pastries, lovely coffee, really nice atmosphere and friendly service. Definitely recommend!

Amazing! Replica of Reykjavik Roasters in Iceland! Loved it, will be back ❤️

Such a lovely peaceful place, so delicious coffee always available in 3 different flavours, you can enjoy music from the vinyl. The lady owner is so friendly and welcome. One more important thing so clean toilet. Thank you xx

Nice place, good coffee and food but felt a bit rushed.

Found this lovely cafe in Torre after shopping at M&S Torquay, big floppy sofas, and delicious coffee, the food looked really good too, must go back next week when properly open I would have loved to have chilled out there for a while

Cool little place with the best selection of coffees in Torquay, says it all really. I have to say more for the minimum words but there’s nothing more to say!

Always greeted with a smile, the best artisan coffee in Torbay by far! And good value. The team work so hard to make you feel welcome. Highly recommend!

Great place at the top end of town which we came across by pure happenstance.Food was well presented and freshly made and the specialist coffee was excellent.The ambiance is unusual with a gramophone playing LPs but it all really works.Well worth the walk up to try it.

Lovely cosy cafe. Warm people and comfy sofas.

Lovely small coffee shop tucked away from the main touristy areas. Amazing coffee, which is available in a variety of beans. Choice of delicious cakes. Friendly owner. Highly recommend for all coffee fiends.

Exceptional coffee, food and service.

Lovely place, genuinely the best coffee I've ever had. There were three choices of coffee to have. We had breakfast there and it was yummy 😋

Great place with a generous and thoughtful host

Years in London running speciality coffee shops taught me how to spot a gem, and my god this little coffee shop is fantastic. I had a single origin Guatemalan cortado (one single origin coffee out of 2 which they had on offer, along another blend). It arrived in the correct sized glass, right temperature and perfectly dialled in. Tasting notes were spot on. Very fruity. The owner (Sharon) was lovely, extremely hospitable and made us feel very welcome to her tucked away store. The decor was great, whimsically eccentric but everything worked perfectly. I had the mozzarella, tomato and pesto panini which when it arrived was huge- tasted fantastic and filled me up completely. The server (never got her name) was very polite. To top it off, the toilets were spotless and there was my favourite Molton Brown hand cream available. The store itself was also spotless. Overall- next time I’m in Torquay, I will definitely be visiting again and would highly recommend anyone to make the effort to get to this store. The price point of this store is amazing, 2 drinks and 2 panini’s came to less that £17.

Great coffee! Very cute, little coffee shop with amazing coffee, tea and bagels! Would recommend

Thank God the Noble Tree is open again. The best coffee in Torquay by a country mile. Lovely food, great cakes, simply fantastic. BTW Tripadvisor, you need to remove your note saying that this place is closed until Dec 2020 it most certainly isn’t.

What a brilliant little find. Waiting for car at Kwik Fit I stumbled across this little gem of a place. Pleasant and welcoming both in decor and the owner/staff. Selection of bean to cup coffees available and their characteristics are described to you. Intelligent and inviting snack menu plus a delicious selection of cakes.

I don't typically write reviews, I'm busy, but I had to make an exception and help spread the word. If you're any level of coffee snob, or even just enjoy coffee while you're out, this is THE best coffee in Torquay. I laughed when I read the reviews because in my last 2 visits I didn't even notice they sell cakes, I was just focused on the coffee. Oh, and it doesn't even matter to me because I'd pay whatever for this coffee, but it's also cheaper than Costa and Starbucks. I don't *hate* those places, especially Starbucks, but they can't touch this.

Really liked the staff here. Good food, too.

The best coffee in a unique place! Flavoured beans coffee, cozy and great service!

Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Superb choice of coffee different from the run of the mill corporate coffee shops that are all too common. Great quality food choices too.

Always a favourite for a relaxed coffee or a meeting location when in Torbay. A little out of the town but from service, to food quality, to overall atmosphere, everything is perfect here.

Cute little place. Great coffee. Friendly staff.

Welcomijg and cosy, awesome coffee. No wi fi.

Absolutley love this place very laid back coffee to die for and staff are amazing

Fabulous artisan coffee shop, a pleasant surprise :-)

I was passing, thought I'd pop in,3 types of specialist coffee to choose from and even had vegan cheese to put in a panini :-) dead pleased I stopped and I will be going back to try different coffees. And offer Oatly Milk alternative. win win

One of my favourite places in Torquay. Lovely staff, great coffee, live music occasionally but always good tunes from the record player. What's not to like.

Fantastic little place off the beaten path. Great coffee, tasty bagel with excellent raspberry vinegarette, friendly staff.

A little bit of sanity in a mad world! Love this place xx

The Noble Three is verry nice and beautiful. The Food is also verry good.👍

Awesome, cute and querky coffee shop. Very welcoming and friendly staff, great service and delicious coffee - just what I needed as I was in between travelling and working.

Visited with clients then today again with my wife.We are somewhat coffee snobs so when we find coffee that we like and if it has great service then we like to share our discoveries.The ambience is delightful with great vinyl being played which you can select if you wish.Lovely cakes and pleasant options of snacks which are all very well presented.Parking is free right outside the door what is there not to like about this place.We will be back

Tons of character, some nice vinyl playing and a relax or meet friends vibe. Great staff and a pay at the end attitude makes you feel welcome. I enjoyed a Latte and listening The Eagles whilst reading a book.

Beautifully relaxing environment, exquisite coffee (from a range of strengths and flavours) perfect toast, wonderfully attentive and knowledgeable service - I cannot fault this place!

Really nice people fast service and a really nice place to relax definitely recommend this place and it is no money regular place

Very good coffee and service. A quirky independent coffee shop.

Quaint ambience. Owner really pleasant and know her stuff. Excellent place to relax and get away from the Torquay noise. No rush just enjoy !

There are few coffee shops around that actually have a personal feel to them. This one definitely does nice atmosphere and great coffee.

The coffee is truely superb and coffee options available, a great atmosphere and lovely staff/service. I go every week and look fwd to the coffee.

Great coffee here. Friendly place with good cake and lunch food. Music on vinyl for those who bought the albums back in the 60's and 70's

A top destination for a first class coffee, interesting environment, music from a vinyl collection and some delightful food choices.

Proper coffee, expertly described and lovingly made complemented the panini perfectly. It was made fresh, from top quality ingredients. The decor has been really well thought out and the atmosphere is just right for a sit down and relax. It's as far removed from a Costa as you could get and annihilates them quite frankly. This proves the adage- local is best

What a lovely coffee ☕ shop, friendly staff and great food 🍲

A lovely place to have coffee and the home made cake us yummy!

My wife and I were looking for somewhere to pop in for coffee at lunchtime today and thought we would try The Noble Tree in Torquay. We are local and cannot believe we have missed this place before. The café is absolutely amazing! This is not an exaggeration, I promise you. The service was faultless by both ladies working in there. The coffee was great and the whole look and feel of the place in just superb. They place music from old vinyl records on a record player and you can pick out a record and they'll play it while you have coffee and dine there. The seating is mixed between rustic looking tables and chairs and comfy high back arm chairs and leather sofas. So comfortable sat next to the fire, we didn't want to leave to go back to the office, it was that good!. As regular users of Torquay coffee shops we would easily rate this as the best coffee shop in Torquay, if not Torbay. We will be regular visitors to this café in future and I am recommending the Noble Tree to our friends and family. Perfect!!!!!!!

I love this little café, it's quiet, friendly and calming. The staff are welcoming. A welcome change to the high street cafe chains, better coffee and cakes too

Walked past when waiting for laundry at the laundromat down the road. There were several types of coffee on offer & the lady was knowledgeable and friendly. The coffee didn’t disappoint and the lady even suggested some local places to visit.

Comfortable 'living room' atmosphere, friendly.

Relaxing atmosphere with great coffee & food. Friendly & helpful staff. Certainly well worth a visit.

Friendly welcoming staff. Lovely coffee and freshly prepared food.

When my favourite cafe closed down I was left without a decent double espresso. Wandering the streets of torquay between appointments I stumbled across the Noble Tree. Different blends of coffee to choose from resulting in a happy afternoon sampling. I'm now able to get my fix! I should mention that the cakes are delicious and the menu looks great too, but if the coffee were rubbish all that would be irrelevant.

Have been here so many times. Tracy, the owner, is incredibly friendly and welcoming. The best coffee, by far, for miles around. On top of that the food is fresh, wholesome, freshly prepared and frankly, outstanding.

Went to the noble tree with my family. Felt we were not welcome with rude staff. We still decided to eat and my daughter had a tuna sandwich. We thought it smelt funny and when we got home she was really unwell

Nestled in Torre. Great coffee and cake. Relaxing couches and chairs. Lovely atmosphere. Friendly staff.

Been here a few times now after discovering this place. So warm and welcoming, and relaxing. Great coffee and tasty food

Only noticed this as friends ‘checked in’ on Social media. What a great find! Uniquely styled interior. Vinyl record selection and player so you (and the cafe) can listen to your taste in music. Very friendly staff.
