The Old Mill Tea Rooms in Teignbridge - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

This is a lovely little spot just outside the Dawlish train station. The food is to die for and the staff are so friendly and cheerful. The wait time for food is not too long even when it's busy and the food came out hot and fresh. I recommend stopping here for their delicious food and tea or coffee if you ever stop by in Dawlish. 10/10!

Highly recommended! Friendly staff, wonderful food in a lovely setting - I have just had the Sweet Cream Tea, superb! Will be back ❤️

Enjoyed a fabulous cream tea! Fruit scones were freshly cooked and still warm upon being served to us. Lovely traditional bone china cups and saucers too. Sat out in the courtyard which was lovely and quaint. Would highly recommend!

Cream tea a must in Devon. Service and food above average really pleasant visit would recommend 👌

Reserved a table for a late afternoon cream tea. We had a pleasant welcome and the food was exceptional, with excellent customer service. Kelly freshly made the scones this morning. All the staff keep up the good work.

Absolutely amazing ploughman's lunch, we stopped in for lunch and were pleasantly surprised at the choice of food on the menu. The wait was acceptable considering it was very hot and lots of people were trying to get something to eat. The staff were friendly and helpful, the place was clean, tidy and welcoming.

Very friendly staff great food, was at the end of the day so accommodating, would vist again

A Lovely,friendly, well run Tea room in a nice location. Excellent food, can recommend the ploughman's lunch it was great. You can eat in or outside in the sunshine beside the massive water wheel. All in all a very enjoyable experience. 10/10.

What a lovely place for a lunchtime meal. It is gorgeous and they have thought of everything. The quaint plates and pretty decor. We loved it. The cake was outstanding and the cream tea was just as good. Would highly recommend.

A great little tea room in the wonderful town of Dawlish. The afternoon cream tea is well worth a try. Wonderful brie and chilli jam sandwich, two scones cream and jam, crisps salad and coleslaw and a lovely yogurt flapjack... Yes that's for one person. We shared.....🤣 Very strong tea just how it should be... Friendly staff and served promptly... Lots of attention to detail which makes this tea room a winner...

Booked in 15 walkers on Friday and they blocked out space in the shade at the back of the garden. The scones were amazing and everything was perfect. Reluctabt to tell you about this place in case we can’t get in next time thanks

Wonderful place for lunch. Kelly and the team excel in everything from a warm welcome, service and fabulous food. Kelly seeks out fresh local produce and portions are plentiful. The cakes and scones are to die for, never had a scone like these before. They just melt in your mouth delicious. If you’re looking for somewhere to eat then this is the place. Highly recommend

Just enjoyed a wonderful the afternoon tea . Truly excellent with china cups and superb sandwich and cakes . Excellent staff , a joy to come in after the heat outside

a perfect tea room that's ideal for lunch and cream tea.

We had lunch today ploughman's, club sandwich and a egg sandwich, all the food was lovely, served quickly by very pleasant staff. Very dog friendly aswell which is a massive positive for us. Its maybe an idea to offer dog dinners? It's quite popular where we are from, and gives extra revenue for the business. thank you very much

Food was lovely, service not brilliant

We had a beautiful cream tea here yesterday afternoon with my aunt on her 80th birthday. Four cousins were joining us from Ireland as a surprise for my aunt but their flight had been delayed. Even though the tea rooms were closing the owners and staff went out of their way to accommodate us and allowed us that special time to celebrate. We will be forever grateful. The cream tea is by far the best I’ve ever eaten and the scones were absolutely delicious with just the right texture. The atmosphere and the setting was amazing and the mill wheel is the perfect backdrop for photos. And we also got to see the famous black swans just right outside their door. I’d highly recommend and will be sure to come back on our annual visit. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Just a fabulous experience all round. Wishing the owners continued success

Went today 9th May 2 jacket potatoes very nice tasty plenty of filling 1st young lady was not as pleasant as the lady serving but would return for sure good value meal.keep.up good work

Absolute Gem. We had 2 chicken and bacon mayo sandwiches and a tuna melt panini. The food was delicious , loads of filling in the sandwiches , with a nice salad and coleslaw on the side. Tea was nice and strong as we're the coffees. Very good value, and the staff were excellent, attentative and friendly. Will definitely return.

Had a lovely Ploughmans lunch. The cafe is in part of a watermill. Amazing place.

Had a late snack lunch here. The paninis were excellent as was the Cream tea for one. Would have given it 5 stars but the lunches were a bit of a long time coming as they were so busy. But all well worth waiting for. EVERYONE very helpful and cheerful.

Quaint mill with great photo spot of the original mill wheel, great array of home baked goodies - seating inside available and also in courtyard- great friendly service definitely worthy of a visit

Lovely stop for lunch, a good jacket potatoe, salad & coffee, the service was pleasant & efficient in an interesting setting, good for a chat.

While on a family holiday to Dawlish, we chose The Old Mill for our location for a Cream Tea. This beautiful tea room did not disappoint. Located in a beautiful setting with fantastic history, the food and service was faultless. The cream tea was truly delightful, warm fruit scone and the right amount of clotted cream and jam to get your teeth into. The first cream tea my husband has ever tried and although he preferred more savoury snacks he was left pleasantly surprised by how much he enjoyed it.

Really lovely tea room with a great menu and tasty food Dog friendly too which is a bonus Great selection of cakes and drinks to choose from

Dawlish was very busy managed to find this little gem. Very friendly lovely bone china tea cups made very welcome after the bad experience we had had 10 minutes earlier at le Cygne. Thank you will remember and return.

Visited with my family (large group). The ladies in the cafe couldn’t have accommodated us better. Fab service, amazing cheese scones and nice atmosphere in the cafe.

Lovely place, super light scones at reasonable price. Friendly service.

It’s a tradition to go here when in Dawlish and on this occasion we enjoyed hot chocolate/mocha and salted caramel cake. We had the tea room to ourselves, staff were polite and bathroom families were clean and tidy. An enjoyable experience as ever.

Lovely cheese scones, fresh out of the oven.

Excellent. Always made welcome. Lovely food and service. Dogs welcome 👍

Our sandwiches were very generously filled and as such, good value. We had a spiced apple cake which was amazing. The old mill gears and machinery were very interesting and the owner started up the outside water wheel for us to see.

A friend and I chose to study at The Old Mill Tea Room this past Sunday, and it was exactly what we needed. The fantastic customer service, welcoming atmosphere, and local charm, we found ourselves in the perfect spot. We enjoyed some delicious hot drinks and gluten-free vegetable pasties, though they were the only option available – our mistake for not arriving earlier! My friend also wanted me to mention she was a huge fan of the Biscoff biscuits that came with our drinks (a welcomed surprise) and the stunning mill attached to the building, which allowed for a brief 5-minute study break to stare in awe (or procrastination). Thank you to the staff, and we're looking forward to our next visit.

One of the best club sandwiches I've ever had. Bread toasted perfectly, fillings generous and tasty. Lunched last month on holiday with 3 generations of the family. All enjoyed ourselves. Good food, good service, good surroundings, good value - Perfect. Thankyou.

Came in and my wife and I shared a ploughmans. We were going to have something after but found that there was ample on the plate to satisfy both of us. I could have eaten the lot but would have felt a pig! Nice and olde worlde inside if a little cramped. I have read some of the old reviews and it looks like they have taken on board some comments as we really liked it. Wish I had taken a couple of pictures.

Lovely tea room. Beautiful food and staff. Love it here!

The most amazing afternoon tea and friendly service! I can’t recommend this tea room highly enough. Everything here is just lovely. The warmest welcome for us and our two dogs, indulgent afternoon tea, sandwiches served on the most amazing fresh bread, home made scones and delicious cake. The owner is a pure delight and her sister had us in laughter. This place really made our day and we can’t wait to come back!

Fabulous place to eat. Stopped by for coffee and cake,then returned for lunch. Great food, great service. Will definitely be returning.

Had a lovely jacket potato with cheese sat in the sunshine didn't know about this place until a friend said would definitely recommend

Loved this little rea room! Friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Both the quiche and the club sandwich were really tasty. Only downside, hence only 4 stars, was that there was a long wait for the food as the cafe was very busy.

We had a lovely lunch sitting next to a working waterwheel, I had the quiche and salad which I enjoyed very much. The atmosphere and service were excellent- I will come again.

I had the most delightful experience at the tea room! The ambiance was charming, with its cozy decor and soothing background music. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home. And let's talk about the eggs on toast - they were simply excellent. The eggs were perfectly cooked with a creamy yolk, and the toast was toasted to perfection, providing a satisfying crunch with each bite. Paired with a fragrant cup of tea from their extensive selection, it was a truly delightful culinary journey. I can't wait to visit again and indulge in more of their delectable offerings!

Visited last year on holiday and did the same again this year. The tea room is a lovely place for a cream tea. The scones are delicious, the staff are very friendly and accommodating. Sat outside by the water wheel. Lovely spot in the sunshine.

A great place for a cream tea! Stopped off for a cream tea and was not disappointed, everything about the cream tea was spot on especially the warm scones!! 👌 The staff were lovely and the young lad working there was so polite and well mannered. We only had one negative, they had run out of sausage rolls. This negative was instantly cancelled out when the lady behind the counter offered a cheese toasty as a replacement. The toasty was great and my son loved it. Very impressed a great afternoon tea, in a great setting. We would highly recommend it!! 👏

We popped in for lunch, but had various issues with our meal, all were mentioned at the time but met with very unfriendly responses. The quiche was ordered warm, but came cold as apparently they had to turn the oven off. Earl Grey tea was sent instead of normal tea, the toastie was missed, then came incorrect. The food was fresh and tasty but service needs improvement. Plenty of other tea rooms in dawlish for friendlier service to make it a better experience as a whole.

Lovely setting and friendly staff. They were flexible and accommodating with dietary requirements, so we all ate well!

What a lovely tea room! We went for lunch for my friend's birthday and we weren't disappointed. Lovely fresh food, generous portions at a very reasonable price. A friendly welcome made the whole experience a lunchtime to remember.

Beautiful little place, great hospitality, friendly staff. BTW we are in Devon so it’s cream first. 😂

Just delightful. Had a sandwich & a cream tea. Fantastic quality and very well priced.

I had the best time at the Old Mill, the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating along with an amazing cream tea, fresh out of the oven 😍 It completed my trip to Dawlish. Thank you guys so much!

Our party was determined to experience a Devon cream tea and the Old Mill Tea Room really delivered. The environment was spotless , the staff welcoming and cheerful, and importantly for us, dogs were also welcome. The cream tea was a real delight and inevitably resulted in our requesting a bag to take home the final delicious cake that was beyond our capacity to consume. The scones were freshly baked and, when covered with the more than ample supply of jam and thick cream, enhanced the reputation of this Devon delight in general and the Old Mill Tea Room in particular.

We headed to the Old Mill on recommendation from the hosts at our B&B and we wasn't disappointed, Its a beautiful setting with lovely staff and a very decent Tea Room menu! My wife and I opted for both a Cheese Tea and the more traditional Cream Tea and shared both. Each of which was delicious and very much devoured!!!! Great value and very popular for good reason, the cakes looked amazing and a return visit at some point will have to be undertaken to enjoy those!

This is a charming cosy cafe with the workings of an old mill inside and a water wheel outside (which they kindly showed us running) right by the stream with the black swans in Dawlish. My Mum and myself visited twice on our holiday and both times were great. The food is lovely at reasonable prices and the staff / service just as good. We sat inside but there are tables outside some under cover if you prefer and because it’s to the side of the cafe there aren’t people walking past next to where you are sitting. I think this is the nicest cafe we have been, highly recommend if you are in the area

The Ploughman's was good, as was the sausage roll. Unfortunately, the scone was dry. The inside of had the original mill gears, which was interesting and was decorated nicely. However, the atmosphere was diminished by the loud staff.

Would definitely recommend the afternoon tea was lovely

Excellent food and service. Our party had one person with mobility issues, a gluten-free and a vegetarian. We were all catered for with lots of options. We sat outside by the water mill and enjoyed the sunshine with our two dogs. A big thumbs up 👍

The best cream tea!! Normally served with tea cups but asked for mugs. Friendly staff, lovely setting,bargain prices. Will definitely be back. Thank you 😊

We had a fantastic cream tea here. It was so delicious and generous portions. Very quaint gardens and staff were lovely. Highly recommend

Best cafe in Dawlish, really friendly, very clean, dogs welcome, very tasty cakes and the best cheese scones I've ever tasted.

Lovely people, great classic food and very fair prices Seating area outside next to the old wheel is lovely

Not been to Dawlish for many years but so well presented I was delighted to return.Tis cafe was simply lovely and the cappucino and service as good as it gets.As we say in Bristol ,'It was gert lush '.

Fabulous place for home made cakes, light lunches, with great buzzy atmosphere. Options are inside and outside seating - full sun or shade.

What a lovely dog friendly cafe, the best in Dawlish with lots of lovely tasty cake choices especially home made cheese scones, the best I have ever had.

Beautiful old tearoom with plenty of history and a working mill. Super happy and helpful owner. Thank you

Wonderful experience, lovely family run tea rooms, met Nan and Gramp, amazing people and so friendly ....oh and the food was lovely too

Friendly and helpful nothing was too much to ask for. Great with the tod

Great location and friendly staff! Went for cream tea, great scones and amazing jam and clotted cream, they also have homemade bakes and cakes. A must-see while in Dawlish!

Friendly welcome from the ladies behind the counter & it looked cosy inside. We sat outside as it was dry. We ordered the set menu cream tea (sandwich, scone/jam/cream, a homemade cake & coffee or tea. This was delicious, fresh, warm scones & great value....

Staff were lovely, however that’s where it ends, unfortunately. The coffee did not taste of coffee, the food had no taste and felt like it was bought in as cheaply as possible. My partner and I had the same meal (panini) and left feeling a little unwell in the stomach and weren’t full in the slightest. Location was also nice.

A great find, great atmosphere inside and out and quirky with the water wheel. Very friendly staff who were very pleasant. Happy to heat our daughters food (she is disabled so has to eat food we prepare). The food was fab, the club sandwich is a beast! Dogs are very welcome (ideal as we have three) with treats provided, prices are very reasonable. Highly Recommend.

The Old Mill Tea Room at last has new owners and as soon as we went in what a lovely welcoming we received. The Bacon Sandwich /scrambled Egg On Toast/Chicken Bacon Mayo Sandwich were absolutely delicious and there was plenty of it! Everything was prepared...

Absolutely amazing find. We walked from teignmouth and stumbled upon the old mill tea room . All we wanted was a cream tea and it didn't disappoint. I am coeliac and they served the best homemade gluten free scone I have ever tried . They are so welcoming. We will definitely be back if in the area

Lovely friendly team room set by an old water wheel, lively food but very busy but good because it was pet friendly for our Symba Chow Chow

Pop into this lovely place, friendly service, fantastic food, especially for the cream tea scones soft & light .

We had been to this establishment a couple of time previously and after sampling some excellent food decided to have afternoon tea there and we were not disappointed The tea room was clean and although busy the staff were very helpful and accommodating. The food...

This tea room has a very peaceful atmosphere. Staff are friendly and food is good.

Very pleasant lovely staff very welcoming great food and drink too.

We had a lovely. Welcome, not rushed. The food was ,hot, fresh and tasty, highly recommend The Old Mill. Will be visiting again, thank you.

Yummy lunch & FABULOUS cakes! Very friendly staff. We sat out in the garden with the sun shining. Highly recommend!

Lovely tea room, we stopped in for a coffee and bite to eat. Enjoyed a nice hot pasty with our coffee ☕️, which, given the weather, was much needed treat.

Lovely tea room. Lovely friendly staff. Check out the water wheel. Nice outside area and your furry friends are welcome. Home made lush cakes. Delicious sandwiches made with bakers bread. Panninis to die for. All in all a must see and try.

Really welcoming , food was nice and decor in and out of the building was nice too. My son enjoyed himself

Very cosy and warm environment with the historic Mill parts still visible! Delicious food and drinks and very friendly service. The citrus drizzle cake was incredible. Will definitely come back again.

Lovely tea room and always our port of call when in Dawlish. Food and drinks excellent and such a friendly service.

Back here for our second visit in recent months. It’s lovely - good food, great service and just a fab place to visit. Also dog friendly :)

First time visiting The Old Mill Tea Room and we will definitely be back. Lovely friendly staff and the most amazing afternoon tea. Everything was fresh and presented beautifully. Thank you once again.

Lovely quaint tea room. I came here for breakfast with my toddler. The manager was lovely and made us feel very welcome. Breakfast was lovely, perfect place to sit and watch the world (and ducks) go by. A little gem in beautiful Dawlish ♥️.

What a lovely little pit stop today! This cafe is so cute with such a friendly owner! Stopped for coffee and cakes and I have to say it is a must for anybody in the area! Great prices and it was also dog friendly, which is great!

We popped in for the first time today and enjoyed a delicious lunch. The owner was very friendly and took time to talk to us. Portions were generous and reasonably priced. We will definitely be back!

Dog friendly and so inviting. We are local and went here today for the first time. All homemade food. Generous coffee and delicious homemade scones. Very welcoming and the prices are so good too. Definately worth visiting,

Very lovely staff and clean and tidy the food test nice as well I went on Friday day for some think to eat and drink Kelly runs it she is nice

Very nice people who own it all ways jolly good food

The owner was really friendly (understand she has recently taken it over). A nice, comfortable atmosphere. Dog friendly which was great. We had fresh cheese scones, cake and nice coffee. We were really glad to stumble upon this place on a Sunday morning and we...

Our group of six only just spotted this gem as we ambled by on a late Sunday afternoon looking for a cafe. The staff were very welcoming and helpful, letting us put chairs where needed. A great place for a pit stop. The lemon and...

Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish! Great food, outstanding service and such a beautiful setting! Kelly has always been passionate and to see her put her all into the old mill is amazing. Can’t wait for our next visit!!

Tried to get in last year but it was busy. Called in for a coffee but ended up having a light lunch. New management have been in 3 months. They were very friendly and happy to amend menu choices to cater for fussy children. Jacket...

Great coffee, just in time for homemade cheese scones straight out the oven. Delicious Brie toasted sandwiches too! Very clean and the owner was happy to chat and explain about the history of the Corn Mill. Can’t wait to visit again.

Stumbled upon this whilst looking for a cosy pub, but this was actually exactly what I needed on a blustery day in October. Had the jacket potato (I recommend the chicken and bacon mayo) and a pot of tea - under a tenner and a...

We ordered a cream tea. The scones were mass produced tough and hard. One of the teacups chipped. Cheap jam and cream. We have yet to find a tea rooms which make their own scones to a good recipe in Devon
