The Old Cream Shop & Tea Garden in North Devon

We had a takeaway pizza after a very busy day, the pizza’s were awesome, The garlic cheesy bread was to die for. Great value

Great place for a drink or food. Me and my friend had cocktails and they were nice. Although for £9 odd a cocktail I’d have expected a slice of passion fruit garnished on top of my pornstar martini! Nevertheless it tasted refreshing. Staff seemed nice albeit a little unprofessional, all quite young and often hanging around with friends in the shop or hanging with people drinking outside but at the least they are enjoying themselves at work I guess! Great place though, if you wanna get a little merry in Croyde!

Great pizza, pastries and best ice cream, generous and friendly staff. It was a daily visit with very happy kids and adults alike

Amazing pizzas and loved sitting in the hideout. A great place to relax on a sunny evening and nice and relaxed for young kids! We also had pasties/drinks/cakes here in the day, which were delicious, and bought presents here for family. Staff always friendly and attentive

Amazing birthday night at the hideout for pizzas! Staff were super friendly and helpful, place always has a great atmosphere and the food and drinks are 10/10. Never been disappointed here!

Nice vibe to the place, dog friendly and a lovely little place hidden away out the back. Good choice of drinks and the pizza and cheesy fries are a must! Will deffo be back!

We popped in for pizza and a swift drink after a long drive and an hour setting up our tents. The service was great, and the pizza was delicious. We opted to take our pizza to the beach and our holiday couldn't have had a better start.

Been visiting The Hub every year when we go to Devon on holiday. The staff are always lovely and friendly.Pasties, sausage rolls are a fave but the ice cream is our favourite. Lovely choice of flavours and a generous size. Highly recommend them all!

Amazing pizzas, lovely fresh taste, piping hot and full of flavour. Nice light bases too that don't fill you up. Really easy online ordering process and pizzas arrived in good time. Best takeaway we had in croyde.

Just ordered pizza from the Hub… food on time delivery driver very polite pizza amazing…Dominos have got competition best pizza in a long time..Please try you won’t be disappointed especially if you are in a field on a camp site 👍👍

Pizza delivery to our campervan on a remote Devon hillside. Fantastic pizza...best vegan pizza. Friendly staff. Recommend 👌🏼

We ordered a mass of food for delivery from The Hub: pizzas, garlic bread and chips. The online ordering process was straightforward, and there was a comments area to add specific dietary requirements. For us, this includes vegan food for two of our party of four. Timeslots for delivery were allocated, and the helpful and friendly young driver stuck to this. The delivery car is electric, which is a big plus to my mind. Unfortunately, on opening the pizza boxes, we realised that, whilst most aspects of the delivery were perfect, the two vegan pizzas requested had not been delivered. I got on to the restaurant via Facebook messenger, and this was rectified in double- quick time. In fact, I would say the restaurant went ABOVE AND BEYOND to put right their mistake, as they redelivered THE WHOLE ORDER, piping hot, and gave us a bottle of prosecco to boot. This level of customer service is EXCEPTIONAL, in my experience. Not only that, but the food itself is delicious (best chips in Croyde) and excellent value - lovely fresh pizza crust and tasty, imaginative toppings. Well done, The Hub - you are stars, and you deserve to do well with that level of effort.

This has to be the BEST takeaway there is in Croyde. We loved the pizzas so much we had it twice in a week and all agreed they were the best pizzas we had had. Not only were the pizzas amazing but the people were so nice and friendly and overall was a great experience. Would 100% recommend to anyone wanting a lovely takeout.

I would like to have given a better review but I never got the Pizza as they forgot to make it. I ordered online for a 7.30 collection I arrived at 7.45 thinking I would be late. I was told it was going to be another 5 minutes. 5 minutes later now 7.50 there is still no pizzas. At 8pm I was told it was only just going in the oven. So I asked for a refund. If you had been honest with me from the start I could made other arrangements for dinner. Made get some adults in there

Chose 3 different pasties - asked to be warmed up. Two of the orders were mixed up - right pasty in the wrong bag. Not noticed immediately as they were the same size. Chicken and chorizo one, poor with little meat / chorizo and lack of flavour. Traditional wasn't that good either. Did ask about the mix up and met with pretty much indifference by the 'Saturday' girl. Wouldn't really recommend as don't seem to be made on premises and quality not that good.

Young lady was a sweetheart. The hot drinks are the best!! Definitely worth the price, so rich and flavourful!

We have pizza connoisseurs in our family. They’ve eaten them all over the world. But they said The Hub pizzas were the best they’d ever had. Croyde Carnivore went down especially well with the 11 year old!! Massive order delivered with a smile to a very difficult location indeed.

Once again, lovely pizza, great service but it was slightly overshadowed by Dave the pizza guy being nowhere to be seen! We missed that guy, he really knew his meat last time! Dave, where are you?

Most restaurants were fully booked so we had delivery pizzas from the Hub. They arrived hot a tasty and will use again.

Ordered 3 Pizzas and garlic bread to where we were staying on holiday in Croyde. Ordering via the online method on Yoello allows you to book a time slot and this was kept to exactly. The pizza was delicious, generous in portion size and felt like a real treat to end our holiday! Thank you!

Incorrect opening times, travelled here to find out it was closed (despite staff stood around doing nothing) and not serving. Please update your opening hours

Garden party pizza..... Sounds so good in their description. The reality was that we had maybe (at best) half a pepper, a single mushroom and zero aubergine, shared across 2 pizzas that were smeared with typically acidic tomato puree rather than pizza sauce. Base was...

Lovely regular stop for us whilst staying in Croyde. Early morning is a must as they have fine baguettes and croissants for sale! Back later in the day for ice cream - yum flavours - and good portion for the price.

Dave the pizza guy really knew where to put the MEAT! All the veggies were crisp and fresh! Great guys, great pizza! I could have been in Naples!

We visited twice during our recent holiday to Devon. Full range of Kelly's ice cream, in either waffle cones or dishes. We went for the cheaper children's scoops as opposed to the adults' scoops, and they were more than generous. Our favourite flavours included blackcurrant...

We orders takeaway pizzas to the holiday park. The choice and quality of the pizzas was superb! They arrived right on time we booked, the delivery drive was very polite and thankful for the directions we provided to our accommodation on the park! I would...

We can’t praise The Hub enough. We were a large group of 11 in an extremely inaccessible holiday rental but the guys were happy to deliver right to our door. As for the pizzas - everyone agreed they are the best they’ve ever had (and...

We had amazing food and cocktails were great too. Reasonably priced. Can recommend jerk bowl and jerk chicken pizzas. The flavours were so good. So tasty.

Went in for some fudge but found the bar at the back and fell in love. Very friendly with a spacious sun terrace up the stairs with views. Tried the cocktail of the day which was a great price at £7. Rum and pineapple. Will...

We fell upon The Hub when looking for somewhere else to enjoy a drink. Absolutely lovely, with delicious pizza and really friendly staff. Loved it.

Dave the pizza guy was great! He really knew how to make a pepperoni pizza! The meat was fresh, the cheese was cheese! I’d give this place 10/10. The North Devon pizza folk need to up their bingo!

Nice selection of decent pasties but we pre-ordered some pizzas for collection and they were shocking. Lukewarm, but completely dried out. They’d clearly been made and kept warm for a long time, to the point where the crust was crumbling. I’m sure they’re delicious when...

I guess not everywhere in Devon can be trusted to make a decent cream tea. Ours was very poor and based on the starchy, slightly stale composition, I suspect the Hub buys its scones from the supermarket, probably the discount aisle! There are many options...

I've been visiting Croyde for many years and remember when this was The Olde Cream Shoppe in its original form. Back then it was somewhere we could go for reliable quality, but that is sadly no longer the case. I understand the current owner of...

Enjoyed delicious takeout pizzas this evening. The staff were friendly and helpful with my allergy needs. The pizzas were hot and tasty and were ready to collect at the time stated. Very happy with whole experience would definitely order again.

We visit the Hub often when in croyde on holiday, delicious pasties & treats & good coffee. Pizza’s are great in the evening & the hang loose bar outback has a great rooftop terrace. Alistair & the team have worked really hard throughout the pandemic...

Fantastic cafe for coffee and cake went every day for week. Lovely staff yummy cakes opens early too

Ordered the goats cheese pizza and took it back to the campsite really looking forward to it but it was basically a very doughy pizza base with tomato sauce and rocket. Not a morsel of goat's cheese in sight! Very disappointing- if we'd have been...

The beach bbq and croyde carnivore are both great pizzas. However, the goats cheese pizza does not have any goats cheese on it.

Took 20 minutes for a crepe and it came in a paper holder which was idiotic as the crepe contained hot strawberry syrup which spilled through the holder and spilt all over the floor. Crikey

Staff are incredibly rude and make you wait unnecessarily because they do not know what they are doing and in the crepes part i was waiting at least 45 minutes for mine and there was 1 person in front of me. Absolute disgusting and do...

Alas i was asked rather rudely why I wasn't wearing a mask in August on a blazing hot day. Even children were made to feel they had to wear them. I left and spent my money elsewhere.

The pasties, bread, ice cream are all great, really good baguettes. Their cakes are amazing. There is however a big but. We paid well over £100 for pizzas for a family of ten. The pizza basecwas fine but the topping was so mean the pizza's...

The girls who work there are nice enough but the women who I can only guess is the manager is utterly rude, seeing as I’m a paying customer who had plenty of other options such as to go to the ice cream parlour next door....

I feel like I should be writing two separate reviews as I had two completely different experiences whilst visiting The Hub. Firstly, the initial visit on a Saturday evening was wonderful. Friendly, helpful and courteous, a young man served us to the best ice cream...

Asked to leave the shop despite having a exemption / sunflower lanyard. Will not be recommending or visiting again which is a shame as i am local to the area. first time i have ever been asked to leave a premises. They are happy to...

A firm favourite of our Croyde visit. Excellent service by all, in particular young man in the yellow hat! Generous portions and great music! Became a daily trip for ice cream!! Yum

Harrassed repeatedly and told I wouldn’t be allowed in again if they were busy, as I am exempt from wearing a face mask. Despite having a GP letter and my Inhalers, apparently as I don’t have a sunflower lanyard I am a risk to their...

Party of 9 we had a really friendly welcome and after a short wait we were seated. We all went with the afternoon tea, sandwiches, scone and slice of homemade cake for £14. Totally beautiful more than happy to recommend and would love to go...

Fantasy little ice cream shop, had loads of different flavour at a great price. The pasties look very nice too. Definitely worth a visit.

A really quaint little shop that sells crummy pasties of all flavours, and some local gifts out the back....but the highlight for me is the beautiful creamy ice cream, such a culinary delight after a hot day on the beach.....absolutely a scrumptious!!

Food was nice, coffee okay but service wasn't great. Girls chatting non stop which I don't mind as long as my orders being made, it wasn't . We waited ten mins for coffee and pastries and listened to how one of their friends had corona and had been working there recently. Not great to hear!

Perfect if you want poor customer service and a frozen scone!Much better options within a stones throw!Ordered a cream team, getting the options out of the girl behind the counter was like getting blood out of a stone. When we did get to eat our scones they were still frozen solid in the middle, they may well be homemade but definitely not from the day we went there!Will not be revisiting

Been going here for years when in the area. Still very good ice cream and cream on top. Busy with the holiday rush but worth waiting to get in. Staff doing well to remind people to wear masks inside. Distancing measures in place so all good. Nice service as well.

We only had pasties and ice cream - but came twice during the week. Certainly very busy in August with a longish queue at lunchtime. There is a good selection pasties and, as pasties go, they were fine. One puzzling thing is that they can't keep the food hot, so you have to wait for the pasties to be re-heated so it all takes forever on a busy day. There wasn't much evidence of handwashing or use of PPE from the staff - although there is sanitiser at the door and social distancing markers on the floor. The ice creams were fine. I got the sense they are so busy there is no incentive to improve.

Considering there is a pandemic going on as we speak... the lady serving Ice cream did not have a glove on and she was using her thumb to help scoop the ice cream into cones, pretty gross and unhygienic if you ask me? This needs to be addressed immediately its irresponsible. However the Ice cream was pretty good but disappointed by being served in plastic cups. Would normally recommend but during the coronavirus pandemic not so much

Very disappointing indeed. We asked if we could sit outside (as the sign indicates there is a tea garden) for a cream tea and were told no, the garden has been turned into a bar so our only option was for a ‘takeaway’ cream tea. Having queued (understandably given COVID-19) we decided to order the takeaway: two plain scones with jam and clotted cream, all reasonable. Hoverer... we had to pay EXTRA for tea (the clue in in the title guys...who serves a cream tea with out tea?) and half way through the tea we found the bag bobbing around! All in all, pretty poor execution of what in the heart of Devon, should be exceptional!

The pasties and the ice creams are awesome, the shop feels safe with queuing outside on the pavement until space is available at the pasty or ice cream counter.Napkins, sanitiser and sauces all available.Pasties available hot or cold, coffee is good and massive range of fab ice cream.Don’t leave it too late in the day or your favourite pasty may have sold out!

We tried to find a good place for a cream tea and ended up here. It is small with limited seating, but the service and "tea" were good! They produce their own jams (although they serve Tiptree with the cream tea!), conserves, etc and bakery good. Friendly and helpful staff - worth a visit

Nice selection of cakes and pastries including gluten free. Lots of seating outside with comfortable sofas.

Having to walk through the shop to get to our coasteering, we were glad to be early so we could stop off for a snack. Thumbs up for the pasty, sausage roll, and millionaires shortcake. Was only crumbs left from all of us and gave us the energy for a few hours in the sea!

Incredible ice cream for a GREAT price!! Generous portions and a great choice of flavours. Recommend: salted caramel, honeycomb swirl and stem ginger.

I've been going here for years for my ice creams. A vast selection of flavours, cones and sizes. As an adult I generally opt for a 'normal' flavour; rum and raisin, strawberry, chocolate etc. Though this time I was tempted to have Salted Caramel :-)Of course no visit here would be complete without have a big dollop of Devon Clotted Cream smeared all over it.Totally delicious and a must to visit as they sell pasties, gifts and much more

Even though we were ‘eating in’ the teas and coffees were served in disposable plastic lined paper cups (whilst everyone else is trying to reduce single use cups). Pasties and sausage roll was served up in paper bags on a stack of plates. The pasties were lacking in filling and stodgy pastry. Basically, this business couldn’t have put in less effort for their customers.

There are often long queues for ice cream here in Summer evenings and that is because the ice cream is special. A vanilla cornet with clotted cream ice cream and more clotted cream smothering the ice cream with a flake is decadent, wholly unhealthy and delicious. How my teenage boys could queue for 20 minutes and then buy bubble gum flavoured ice cream is beyond me but this is a must visit place for anyone wanting a real taste of Devon. The doughnuts were pretty ordinary though

If you're in Croyde, don't go anywhere else for your ice cream-this is the best shop and the adult portions are very generous! The pasties always look and smell delicious and are obviously popular but we're yet to try them. We will be back to ensure we do!

Long walk along cliff to Baggy Point, then on to Georgeham...hungry we stopped to get pasties and Devonshire cream tea!Truly scrumptious, sat on sun roof terrace and filled our rumbling tummies! Then bought extra pasties to bring home, cos it’s have been rude not to. Then had to get fudge for work buddies and some lovely pottery!The place is always busy & there’s a reason, it’s fabulous!

Seeing the choice of ice cream on offer through the window we were greeted by the most miserable old bat barking orders at us, not so much as a smile or a thank you. For a place advertising a "surfer" atmosphere they really aren't too friendly to anyone outside their smarmy insular group.

Friendly and busy shop selling lovely ice cream and a vast array of pasties (including vegan options which seemed very popular) and sausage rolls. The chicken and leek and steak and ale were very good, as were the sausage rolls, and they made up kids' sandwiches on request.

Great little shop stop here every time I come to Croyde for ice creams and pasties(couple times a year) big selection of both ice creams and pasties you won’t be disappointed

Have always loved the pasties from here but today I tried a vegan pasty with cauliflower and chickpea bhaji filling, it was amazing - so delicious. I highly recommend .

popped in for ice creams and coffees after a blustery beach walk. Very friendly owner, fabulous ice cream selection plus really tasty pasties, booze and a variety of nice local handmade gifts. One minor negative was the availability of foam pirate flick knives in the toys section.. really? kids don't need to buy these with their holiday money. Plenty of other toys to choose from with no violent undercurrent.

the chorizo and sausage rolls were amazing, friendly staff all the other pasties,bakes,turn overs and cakes(especially the brownie) looked lovely.

We stopped for something for lunch. Lovely chicken and chorizo pasty, we also had chorizo sausage rolls. Really tasty with helpful staff.

Great cream teas,whole variety of pasties and speciality ice creams,friendly welcoming staff,could do with a bit more indoor seating,but very pleased

These pasties are sooooo yummy! Good variety to choose from, eat in or takeaway and friendly staff too. The hardest part is not going every day!

We spent 2 sun filled days in lovely Croyde, pre-beach snack of the loveliest pasty in Devon helps with the energy boosts for climbing the sand dunes and post-beach snack of the finest ice cream in the land just the perfect way to end the day out.

We stopped 3 times to enjoy the epic ice creams. Portion sizes very generous. They sell delicious looking pasties too. We didn't try them but the amount of people waiting to buy them suggests they're very good!

The ice - cream is amazing! Rocky road, salted caramel, rhubarb crumble.... cornish cream tea! Dunno which is my fave but I'm trying them all!

We just stopped by, nice snacks, peaceful and sunny terrace, very friendly staff. We had pastry with ricotta and spinach, with mozzarella and basil and a sweet piece with salty caramel and nuts. Really nice.

Best Ice-cream in North Devon by far! Good quality, size and price. Gutted I’d eaten lunch or I’d have tasted one of the may flavoured pasties in show. Lovely sun deck in the garden too. We’ll be back!

lovely garden area . Ice crème is must . Small but staff is friendly and you get served promptly. pastries are good too.

We visit this shop every year for ice-cream's throughout our fortnight holiday as the varieties are endless and all taste amazing.

The title says it all! I didn’t eat here but visited for take away ice cream - a great selection and offering a generous dollop of clotted cream too.....tasty and amazing variety of pasties. My favourite was smoked haddock and Gouda. Worth a visit. There is a cafe, gift shop and access to surf instruction and hire.

2 visits to this place on our holiday to croyde bay. Great selection of ice cream with different options for cones! I can recommend the banana split flavour. A little bit pricey bit it's what you expect when on holiday.

The pasties are spectacular as well as the ice cream. Its a quaint little shop with lovely food and gifts at a very reasonable price.

Lovely cream tea at this tearoom and reasonably priced. Nice location. Can sit in or out. Friendly staff.

Visited ice cream shop this week.Spoilt for choice with various ice cream.....chose Lemon Drizzle Crunch ( I think it was called)... absolutely delicious!!....Well worth a visit...there is a garden out the back area, which we will enjoy on another visit... Busy, which is not surprising. Would definitely recommend...

I had a chicken and chorizo pasty which was really nice. There is seating area at the back which is chilled out.

Popped in to buy some fudge and came out with ice cream too was lovely really tasty highly recommend the cream tea ice cream !!! Happy friendly helpful staff !

despite arriving as the staff were clearing up 4.50 having checked their website for closing time 6pm they made us a pot of tea but all food was stored. Tea most welcome and staff obliging - would return and try the food next time in Devon - go on give it a go

The pasty’s are lush, the ice cream is lush (must have clotted cream on top for the full experience) if I could put a drooly faced emoji on here I would.

Love this place. Lovely friendly staff. Very nice pasties. Fabulous tiramisu slice (like millionaire slice, but tiramisu flavour) Great choice of delicious ice cream. Lovely area out the back for eating. Alsorts of little gifts

We have visited this shop over many years and thoroughly enjoy it each time. The owners, Ali and Sally have always made us welcome and have a good working team, never slowing up, maintaining their supply of pasties on display. There are gluten free options but not sure about vegan, I wouldn't be surprised if there was. The all important cream teas are lovely, as is the coffee offered.

What an absolute gem. The pasties are great - huge variety for the whole family - and the ice cream is lovely. Ali and Sally are incredibly friendly - nothing is too much trouble - they work really hard to make sure everyone is catered for and happy. The bar in the outdoor area at the back provides welcome respite from the other options in Croyde. We enjoyed a relaxing couple of beers there and came back for a family meal - the menu is reasonably limited but we were all very happy and thought it was delicious.

From the outside it looks like an ice cream parlour selling ice creams and pasties. Inside, it is much more. Great ice creams and good looking pasties (did not try them) - a large range of drinks and foods are also on offer as well as souvenirs. There are a few tables inside and outside there is a terrace with tables and a shed to buy drinks from - happy hour from 4-6pm was well worth it. They also have a roof top terrace which doubles the size of the outside and you have quite a good view from the top and an ideal place to catch the evening rays with a glass in hand. And the owners / people who work in there are so friendly! Will definitely return.

Had a delicious blackcurrent ice cream here, and noticed a Gluten free pasty for sale! Was too full for one, but would definitely try it out!

We stopped here after walking along the coastal path and we were not disappointed! The tea and hot chocolate we had were just what we needed and the scones with cream and jam were delicious. We were also very impressed with how reasonably priced everything is. We didn’t try a pasty but they also looked delicious! Would happily return.

Following rave reviews on Trip Advisor, we popped in here for lunch having hiked over from Woolacombe. We were rather disappointed, there seemed to be limited choice i.e. pasty’s, compared to what the menu offered and the shop was rather crowded as we tried to eat our lunch.

Great little place, that does a good cream tea at a very reasonable price. We were staying in Woolacombe & needed somewhere we could go with the dog. Dogs can go both inside & out, just a shame it’s not a bit bigger, there are only 3 tables inside at the back of the shop, we were very lucky to get our table. Would definitely return.
