The Studio Teashop in Teignbridge

Gutted, it has closed down! Went to an alternative trendy and pricey one and regretted it, hope you are enjoying your retirement guys, probably won't be returning to Ashburton, shame!

We love this place. Great food and the most wonderful warm welcome - always. Haven't been since before the pandemic and we miss it terribly! Can we book a table for cream teas in early August please? (I'm serious) love from the Roberts family from Bristol xx

My girlfriend and I visited the tea rooms today and were very pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem. The hosts were warm and welcoming, and very friendly. Likened to being welcomed into someone’s home and being treated like a good friend. Quaint and quirky decor, great food, chilled atmosphere and warm service! Definitely a must when visiting Ashburton!

Lovely. Had a great time! Will definitely go again. Very cosy and a friendly feel to it. Loved it. Absolutely Recommend !

What a friendly, laid back cafe whose food is amazing. We were greeted like old friends and joined in the camaraderie of then other people in the cafe. I had a brie and bacon sandwich which was one of the most delicious sandwiches I’ve had in a long time. I cannot recommend this cafe enough and will come back to Ashburton just for a cuppa here !

We walked in wet and bedraggled and were made so welcome by Stuart and Dave. They took our coats, sat us down and told us to warm up and take our time ordering. We had homemade bean soup and huge chunk of bread followed by homemade bread and butter pudding, DELICIOUS!! Stuart and Dave are very friendly and good fun, the menu is extensive, would loved to have tried more and will definitely return. An absolute must if you are in the area.

Came over from Tavy with my parents and found this tea shop right away by the central car park. As soon as we walked in we got a sense of friendliness and warm welcome. Great menu choices - I had a lovely sardines & cheese on toast - with a varied menu of sandwiches, toasties together with some specials. A sign of a fab place is when locals are in and there were many coming and going. The house blend tea was the best I’ve had in ages and they also offered some very interesting speciality teas too. This is what great tea shops should be like!

A lovely little teashop from the 1950s. Dave and Stuart are charming and welcoming. Wonderfully decorated, lovely old china and a table of cakes to tempt you. Some special deals are a nice touch. Clentele are mostly locals who obviously go reguarly. Just a wonderful experience.

We visited this hidden gem just off the main carpark in Ashburton several years ago. Back again today and it's still amazing.Hot coffee and proper cup of tea served in a china teapot with loose tea leaves.The soup was the best we've ever had with tasty bread/cheese scone and more than enough butter.Tiny, cosy, full of character and a friendly welcome. Recommended this place 200%

Very friendly atmosphere and a small local cafe with all the charm you could want. This is a local cafe and you are made to feel welcome the moment you walk in. Everything is served with a forgotten elegance you used to get in local cafe Worth moving to the area just to have a cafe like this and pop in for a long chat. You will hear the laughter as you approach that’s what you get the moment you walk in until you leave great find

Lovely tea shop with an amazing choice of teas and eats. The service was excellent and the food and drinks really good. Highly recommend.

Great place, really good choice of cakes and savoury food etc. Really friendly staff. Good value and well located.

A lovely find! I was made to feel welcome by staff and local customers, which was nice because I was on my own. The tea was excellent, leaves brewed in a pot and extra hot water too. Super quirky china (see photo). Altogether wonderful experience and very good value!

We stopped in for coffee which was OK from a pot already made. Friendly enough welcome but the group of locals were so noisy we felt uncomfortable. This is probably a better choice for afternoon tea and is good value. Handy for the parking.

I was looking forward to visiting here from the great reviews and it didnt disappoint. The scones were amazing and I love how the tea was served from a China tea pot! Very friendly owners. Highly recommend!

We visited this petit tea shop/room during a short stop. The warm and enthusiastic welcome was great to experience. The owners are lovely and committed to serve their guest to their best. Sitting a side along their guest, we experienced a lovely talk about our Dutch “poffertjes” We highly recommend this tea shop/room. We enjoyed every minute.

Every now and then one happens upon a place which exceeds all expectations - the Studio Teashop is one of them. The two gentlemen who own and run the place are absolute masters of their craft: friendly faces no matter what, truly welcoming in an unaffected and entirely natural way, superb food presented with a minimum of fuss and an easy line in banter which includes all, visitors and locals alike. There is nowhere quite like the Studio ... and long may this continue!

We came across this teashop purely by chance. Visiting Ashburton and looking for a place to eat. We passed a few that did not seem inviting until we came upon the Studio Teashop. When inside there was a very warm welcome from the gentleman that greeted us, showed us to a table. The teashop is bijou but cosy. We had lunch which was exceptionally good. The teashop was clean and the gentleman very attentive, we were made to feel at home. If I lived in Ashburton I would be in this teashop a couple of times a week. Absolutely fabulous.

This is a lovely teashop, great cakes and the service is second to none. Very friendly and welcoming.

Whether you want a lovely afternoon tea; light bites or just home-made cakes & coffee etc I heartily recommend this lovely place. It is also conveniently next to a car park so parking is easy & the rates are affordable.

This is just a completely charming place. The gentleman who served us made us feel so welcome! We loved it! The food was yummy too!

As friends travelling to Cornwall we came across you by chance, and what a lucky find. There were 4 of us, not the coach load you thought we were, and all very much enjoyed the food. You were so friendly warm and welcoming, you made us feel like long lost friends. You were and obviously still are a real entertainer, a joy to spend time with. Our only disappointment.... We did not meet the licky dog. Love and hugs to you all, and in the words of Arnie.. I will be back x

Well that was an experience! A real local, small and friendly cafe with great food. One either joins in the banter or observes - which can be quite funny at times!

After reading the ONLY 3 terrible reviews, we were inclined to make it number 4 just to see what witty and sarcy reply we would receive......they made us laugh!!!

Popped in on a wet afternoon for a cup of tea and had the best cream tea we've had in a long time. Excellent leaf tea, pretty china, lovely fresh scones and plenty of cream and jam. Cosy, quirky and full of collectables this is definitely a tearoom to make a detour for. Owners are friendly and very welcoming and the banter was top notch! Looking forward to a return visit soon.

When we came in the cafe it was very cosy and warm. The food was expectional with love and care put in what they serve. The owner was lovely and attentive and wasn't put off by our deafness as he still tried his best to communicate with us and had a friendly attitude.

We called in with our two dogs after a walk on the moors. It was so warm and cosy on a freezing cold day

So friendly and great atmosphere - Cream Tea and sandwiches delicious .. must go again soon for more cake !

What a superb, quirky little tea shop. Owners are so friendly and service is second to none. Highly recommended. If you're anywhere near Ashburton, you have to give it a go. Right opposite the main carpark.

Just stopping in Ashburton for a quick cuppa before heading on our way back to Kent. Right opposite the car park...sign saying oldest tearoom in Devon, had to stop and see. Lovely and quaint decor, great background music with friendly hosts (photo) and real tea leaves did my earl grey, which was delicious..you could actually get your finger through the handle! Of my lovely China tea cup and the pastries were yummy too. Perfect

Great company, lively chat and good wholesome food - what's not to like... Dave and Steve offer a really good all round cafe. We visit so regularly we might as well move in!

My husband and I popped into this cafe when we were driving through Ashburton on our way to Bath. This lovely cafe did not disappoint - charming and cute decor, lovely owners running the cafe, a charming little white staffy and delicious food! I would highly recommend this spot next time you are in the area.

This a a quaint little tea/coffee shop and well worth a visit. Friendly owners who love to chat to their guests. Generous portions of everything including coffee. Highly recommended.

The Studio Teashop is a quirky little bubble of escapism.

You just couldn't wish for a nicer, friendlier and intimate tea shop anywhere better. Steve & Dave genuine stars and add sparkle to everything they do.

What a rainy day so to be dashing around really fancying a good cuppa and a slice of delicious homemade cake. What did we find open and very welcoming .. the Studio Teashop sitting on Kingsbridge st, in the beautiful market town of Ashburton a gateway to Dartmoor. The atmospheric little gem run by Dave and Steve filled with hidden collected treasures and served with a quirky style was the best pot of good leafy tea, china cups and a selection of delicious cakes and scones gave us a real treat. I had the lemon cake and my friend had the coffee cake, the men had scones, beautiful cream and jam.

We arrived late in the day but Steve & Dave said we were welcome to come in and eat, so we did. The food was simple but very good and served up with care and attention to detail. The cafe closed at 4.00pm but we were still there at 5.00 as the boys kept chatting to us. Can't wait to go back and will add it to our list of local places to visit on our days out.

Thank you Steve & Dave for welcoming me into your teashop after visiting some of Ashburton's lovely shops. When I walked in through the door into what looks like someones cosy and busy home I didn't know where to look - but I was taken to a table and I felt so looked after during my short stay for lunch, which was a delicious pea & ham soup, with a pot of peppermint tea. The atmosphere here is genuinely warm and friendly, I will be telling everyone in Moretonhampstead about my visit, and look forward to seeing you both again soon.

We visited The Studio for lunch and were very pleasantly surprised at the friendly atmosphere here. From the outside you don't know what to expect inside, but this is a place full of locals (plus us) and the food and service were good.

My bus broke down in Ashburton today leaving me an hour to wander around, it was cold outside I decided to have tea in this gorgeous cafe, the owners were so sweet and the coffee cake was to die for, thank you gents this was truly serendipity

This place is absolutely unique! When we arrived we were welcomed by the owners and their lovely dog who was very polite and friendly to our dog Mavis. Steve and Dave were quick to ask what we would like to drink and made a fuss of Mavis. There was a fab selection of sweet or savoury from snacks to meals which are all home made.

Proper cream tea, choice of scones and tea, lots of jam and clotted cream all served in china cups - was also very tempted by wide range of other things like crumpets, cake etc. Very friendly staff and resident pooch - would highly recommend 😎

Whilst house hunting we accidentally 'discovered' The Studio Teashop. Dave and Steve were great hosts, for a Saturday it was quiet (but it was raining), only one other couple adding to the atmosphere (and laughs) but 'Miss Pickles' stole the show. I had Sardines on toast with melted cheese and salad and my wife had soup of the day with slabs of bread, both were delicious and it was washed down with proper tea (with a strainer). I had just enough room for a rock cake which finished the meal off beautifully, we will definately be calling in again, a cream tea next time I think.

Must have been a bad day for them. I like quirkiness but the room was dark, the cakes were lit...

My Dad and I visited The Studio Tea Shop for the first time today. We received a warm welcome from...

Good the owners are back from their hols..been there again with Friends for lunch..really pleased they're back..Best value and ambiance/company...

Down a side road opposite a small car park. Great repartee between owners and visitors. A small room full of...

Love love LOVE this place! It's like walking into a home away from home. The owners are wonderful and friendly and the afternoon tea is to die for. Their gorgeous dog is also a lovely addition, the way he sits and stares at you, willing you to drop crumbs on the floor so he can eat them (!) is just adorable. Well worth a visit.

if you want a great coffee and cake or lunch quirky experience go no further.it,s small but perfectly formed.So give it a shot, you might get a friendly welcome

Mi novia y yo visitamos este lugar en un lluvioso viernes. Los propietarios de la sala de té era muy acogedor y fácil ir y realmente hizo que nuestro día con su hospitalidad. Yo recomendaría este lugar a cualquiera que visite Ashburton (incluso si no te gusta el té;)!

En un día húmedo y frío en el 4 de junio nosotros nos las arreglamos para conseguir una mesa de esquina en este café excéntricos. Sólo queríamos una buena taza de té y aperitivos así que todos pedimos el especial de té con pan tostado de fruta (no recuerdo su nombre propio). Lo que presentamos fue un plato grande pila de piezas de delicioso pan tostado de fruta, un plato de mantequilla y una enorme tetera de color marrón. Relación calidad-precio genial y las hojas de té muy bueno. Entonces el entretenimiento comenzó - en forma de la gente y los propietarios de la intercambiar insultos tearoom. Fue el día de las elecciones, y eso sumado a las bromas. Volvimos al día siguiente para la sopa, pizzas etc. tienda crumpet Cuando nos fuimos me las arreglé para dejar mi cámara y el dueño nos buscó la calle principal hasta que me encontraron.

Lots of lovely choices, all at reasonable prices. Very friendly hosts and a friendly staffordshire terrier dog as well! Wee had a cream tea and half a cream tea but there was a lovely choice of other items, cucumber sandwich tea with cake for instance. Loved the vintage crockery.

Proper, quality, authentic cream teas. Central location, great choice of lunch, dinner or afternoon teas. The best in town.

We fell afoul of a traffic diversion in town and were deposited almost at the Studio Teashop doorstep. Creamy carrot-corriander soup and warm cheese scones soothed our appetites while the homey atmosphere of the restaurant made us relax & smile. Gracious host, friendly pup, warm local patrons, fab food -- all worked in concert to make an accidental lunch one of the most memorable and delicious events on our holiday. You should make it one of your taste memories as well.

Visited The Studio Tea Rooms on Easter Saturday and received a warm welcome from the excellent hosts, Dave and SteveOur children had home-made spag-bol - absolutely excellent apparently - and we had a cream tea - the best during our Easter break - and a paté salad - equally deliciousThis tea room is unique and a real gem. It's popular and busy so it's not always possible to get a table a peak times, but worth wandering around Ashburton and trying again if you can't get in at the first attempt :)

Just popped in for a quick cuppa and found this place absolutely lovely. Massive pot of tea made with tea leaves, made a fab change from tea bags! The staff couldn't do enough for you, definitely recommend this place to anyone.

We only wanted a light lunch, and this place took our fancy. We weren't disappointed. A BLT sandwich plus salad nearly defeated my husband, and I thoroughly enjoyed cheese on toast, which also came with salad. A pot of tea and one of apple and cinnamon tea completed a delicious experience. The only fly in the ointment was that it's cash only. Fortunately, we had cash and didn't need to visit the hole in the wall.

A very welcoming litte cafe filled with lots of interesting nic nacs.A lovely little cafe with delicious tea and a brilliabt selection of cakes to choose from. The savoury food coming out looked really lovely to. Great value for money.

No complaints at all, other than that they are juggling skilfully and pushing their luck with how much stuff there is in here on the walls and tables. Maybe like a caracature rural granny's parlour or a nick nack second shop, but all is overwhelmed by the warmth and attentive hospitality and service.

It takes quite a lot to say this is the most welcoming cafe ever, but we were so impressed with our quick pit-stop at The Studio in Ashburton last week. My husband and I needed a hot drink after driving around countless beautiful Devon villages (househunting...) and found The Studio via its tripadvisor reviews. It didn't disappoint!As soon as you go in, there's a warmth and joy in the decor - vintage tea plates, an array of cakes on the table and a friendly smile from the gentlemen serving. We enjoyed our tea, our chat with the hosts and the other diners and the DELICIOUS spiced loaf. Try it, it's perfect for these chilly days! We look forward to visiting again next time we're in Ashburton.

have been a few times for coffee and cakes. last time my friend had lasagne excellent.always smiling faces .we drive 10 miles to get there.highly recommended,

Parked the car and immediately found tea shop by the car park. Got a great welcome from a wonderful Staffordshire terrier who showed us to our table and waited until a gentleman came to take our order, I had a brace of crumpets and my partner a toasted tea cake. There was a varied menu and plenty of variety, I had a pot of tea, (made with loose tea) and arrived in adelightful China pot (vintage variety), the staffy returned to make certain everything was satisfactory and that his two gentlemanly staff were doing their jobs.A wonderful experience and will definitely be visiting again in the future.

Impromptu stop looking for a drink and a snack in Ashburton. Easy to find facing the main car park. Warm and welcoming tiny, cosy, quirky tearoom. Amazing selection of teas. Lovely hot snack selection, things like sardines on toast and a brace of crumpets with marmite and cheese, which took me back to my childhood, all served on a beautiful eclectic selection of vintage china. The owners made us feel very welcome. Lashings of cupboard love from Pickles, a lovely staffie who was obviously employed for her looks and charm to work front of house whilst her minions served and cooked the food.The nature of the old building would make wheel chair and buggy access difficult but this tearoom is world away from the cold generic big chain coffee house experience and really worth a visit.

This tea room is definitely worth a visit if you are in Asburton Tucked away from the high street is a quaint tea room run by some charming gentlemen. We popped in on a cold Friday afternoon it was warm and toasty inside and we received such a lovely warm welcome from the hosts and their gorgeous dog. We had a cream tea which was lovely the scones were warm and crumbly with plenty of jam and clotted cream the tea was loose leaf and by far one of the best teas i have ever had. Will visit again on our next trip to Asburton.

This is a warm traditional tea room, which is very welcoming of visitors. I would certainly recommend the Studio Teashop to anyone visiting Ashburton

Definitely worth a visit. Delicious leaf tea served in proper bone china by two delightful hosts. Charming in every sense.

this cafe is the most amazing place! The most welcoming, human people run this cafe, the guy serving took a real interest and went out of his way in getting us what we wanted, and it was clear that he was so genuinely interested in all his customers - this must be the most person-centred cafe i have ever visited! Food was great, atmosphere fab and such a friendly place, will def return when next in the area, really really recommend :)

I can't praise this tearoom enough, fantastic from the moment we put our heads around the door, having been in many tea rooms I can easily say I have never been in one like this, apart from a lovely atmosphere and a beautiful dog to greet you and the food of course it is made extra special by the two owners Steve & Dave super guys, will be calling again , clive, Lou, rose, ray, Burnham on sea,

It had been a number of years since our last visit to Ashburton so after parking the car we decided to visit the Studio Teashop for a light late lunch.My wife had Toffee cake, my father in law had a toasted tea loaf and I had home made Pork and Onion Pate. We all agreed the food was excellent and for once we all agreed that my Pate was the best.Portions were more than enough and were oozing flavour. The pot of tea was excellent and their is a huge range to choose from.We will definitely be back.

My wife and I chanced upon this quaint little place while looking for a comic book store. What a find the staff and there regular customers all made you feel so very welcome. A gem tucked away in a side street but worth looking for

Excellent food, lovely owners, lovely regulars. Would highly recommend if you enjoy quirky places and want to leave having enjoyed the food and the company. You'll leave smiling.

I don't know why but I have never had melted chees on crumpet with Marmite before, fantastic.It was a difficult choice because I could of had sardines on toast or even rice pudding with jam.From the many choices of tea, I had Lapsang Suchong which I've not had for years.The place is lovely, with fun people running it and a very inquisitive bull terrier for added atmosphere.Excellent place.

Had decided to visit here, following the fantastic reviews and we were in for a treat. It was a busy Saturday, and we were lucky to get a table. Not only was the food great, the tea sublime, but we actually witnessed a marriage proposal. An experience never to be forgotten!

After all the up-market coffee shops popping up all over Ashburton, to find a cosy, welcoming TEA shop was a real joy! The guys who run (and own?) it are down-to-earth, borderline insulting (all in the best possible taste) and at times, hilarious - and the tea and coffee is a refreshing change from the cappuccino and latte brigade - 'We don't do cappuccino, only frothy coffee!' The cakes are delicious and varied - definitely not 'free' anything - and all served on bone China cups, saucers and plates. You may have to wait for a table, as the locals seem to take root there, and are in no hurry to shift, but it will be worth it!

OK its a little bit small - but hey ho it adds to the ambience and eclectic mix of signs and ornaments. (Almost like the Sir John Soames Museum in London!) Great coffee and cake - with other 'goodies' available'. Free refills! Best of all, and adding to the ambience is the banter with the hosts. A very friendly, traditional team room - with a twist!

A tiny venue but worth squeezing in if you can. Very welcoming and an excellent cup of tea. We were able to bring our well behaved dog in as well.

We stepped in to be greeted by two lovely staff and their dog. Food tasted as good as it looked . Every time someone walked in they too had the warm friendly greeting. Locals must use this Tea Shop which is always a good sign as staff were using first names to the customers. I can not wait to visit Ashburton again .

We'd spent the day in Tavistock and were heading back to our hotel in Newton Abbot when we decided to stop off in Ashburton. We are so glad we did.This tea shop is located right next to the main long stay car park, and we were drawn by the laughter that appeared to be coming from inside. We were warmly welcomed as we peered round the door and immediately made to feel welcome. It's obvious the locals use this place as the banter and chat is so warm and natural. We weren't the only 'non locals' in there when we visited, but the owners seemed to treat us all as old friends, as did their gorgeous dog!This seems a very traditional tea room, with real loose leaf tea. I had a scone with cream and jam. Next time we will back for a meal.The whole visit was truly a memorable experience, one that made our holiday. I just wish we had somewhere like this in Stoke! Next time we're in Devon, this place will be at the top of our "to do" list.

I came here with my family and despite only one table were occupied out of four, we were told that they were all reserved so we couldn't sit down. We then offered to purchase their cakes to take out and the waiter said it would be possible but they are rather expensive as they cost £2.50 so we would be better off trying to get something from the bakery down the road. In my whole life I can sincerely say that I have never been so insulted and made feeling so unwelcome ever. I suspect the waiter is either racist again Chinese people or he has invisible customers in there or he is expecting tons of customers rushing in on a Wednesday afternoon at 2pm when the town is quiet.

Off the beaten path in the lively old tin-mining town of Ashburton -- on the fringes of dramatic Dartmoor -- we have this delightfully cozy hole-in-the-wall to stop for lunch and tea. It all seemed unassuming enough until I stepped in and was met at the door by a massive great wave of warmth and big-heartedness in the form of one of the owners and their darling dog, while the other owner sang a 70s disco hit with resonant tunefulness in the kitchen. Well, they fairly bowled me over and I was completely sold by the genuinely and gloriously English wonder of it all. The overwhelming plus is the character of the place and the people (and dog) running it. But I can't stop there ... because the food is terrific! Great lunch favourites with happy homey twists and surprises -- a side salad with lovely thick Balsamic vinegar and a couple of scrumptious wild strawberries thrown in for good measure. YUM! Classic faves on offer from flavoursome onion bhajis to sardines to macaroni and cheese. Comforting, yummy English treats. Plus they have iced coffee! And I haven't even mentioned all their tea cakes and scones arranged with fanciful plenitude on a table in full view -- as if the place would explode with laughter and rain down with cakes. The heart of this place definitely has an effect on its clientele. Pretty soon, everyone seems to be friends -- strangers chat together and smile. It's great -- you should really check it out. I think maybe you'll be smiling all day -- a genuine smile, too. :) Oh -- And remember to bring cash. This is like someone's sitting room -- not a place for plastic!

Popped in to The Studio this morning for a coffee, what a little gem this place is....obviously the locals gather here in the mornings for a chat, but we were soon includedand made to feel very welcome.Lunchtime menu looked delicious. Next time we are brousing the antique shops in the town we will pop back, a great little find, thank you for making us so welcome.

dropped in for lunch today. food excellent.entertainment great as usual. do not visit Ashburton without visiting this Tea Room.

Always make you feel at home, Tasty home cooking, good portions, well priced.Small and quirky, lots of character.Dog friendly

Very small cosy and quirky, with fast friendly service and a small dog in constant attendance. The pea soup was delicious; would not be your ideal place if you suffer from claustrophobia or if you want to have a very private conversation, but lovely for a quick snack.

Popped in for a brew as it was recommended to us. We received a warm friendly welcome by the owners and dog! There is a beautiful selection of scrummy cakes, we had warm croissants with butter and jam, yum! (My husband had two)!Thoroughly enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and looking at all the little trinkets. I would definitely recommend this little quirky gem and we will definitely visit again. x

My partner and I discovered this gem by accident on our way back from exploring the moors. This is a beautifully quirky tea shop. You walk in and it feels like someone's front room, but that's where the similarity ends. We were greeted by the friendly owner and his adorable dog. We had a light lunch. A BLT for my hubby and grilled sardines on toast for me. They also came with a lovely fresh salad with balsamic dressing. Both lunches were just delicious ! This place is, original, quirky,friendly....and probably the best little tea shop in the world!! But Shhhh.....Let's keep it our little secret

Spitting feathers after a 50-mile drive, any old cuppa would have done. Instead, we stumbled on the unexpected delights of The Studio. The first impression that we had walked into a private sitting room was instantly dispelled by a warm welcome from our hosts and fellow customers. Tea and coffee was quickly served, while we enjoyed the affectionate banter and chicly chintzy ambience. The scones and cakes looked good, though we didn't have time to sample. We left The Studio with broad smiles on our faces, and will surely return before long.

My husband and I popped in here on the way back from our holiday in Cornwall. We where greeted by two lovely men and their very friendly dog. It felt very original, almost like you where sat in their loving room.They have a good list of different teas which are brewed in the pot, which I took advantage of with a slic of very nice coffee and walk it cake. If I am in Ashburton again would like to revisit.

We were passing Ashburton and decided to stop off for a bite to eat and a drink. We noticed the Studio Teashop while walking out of the car park and popped in. We were met with a warm welcome by the Hosts and told to make ourselves at home. We ordered a sandwich and a pot of tea. The food was served quickly and the tea was loose tea as opposed to tea bags and came in a large china teapot, got to say it was one of the best brews I've ever had!! The sandwich came with a salad garnish and some crisps, it was very well presented and very nice.Total bill was very reasonable considering the quality of the food and I would not hesitate to recommend The Studio Teashop to anyone visiting Ashburton.

We went in because the tearoom was displaying a trip advisor certificate of excellence, however, for us it didn't live up to the title.It was eclectic and unusual, which we usually love and we were welcomed but it felt grubby. The owners' dog is present, a lovely creature and I'm a dog lover, owning two - however, I don't really want to be jumped up at and licked just as I'm about to eat.We both chose the cottage pie, which I enjoyed but neither of us wanted to linger, not helped by the conversation going on behind the partition in the kitchen where the owners and a local were talking unkindly about another person. It kind of sullied the whole experience.So, we were disappointed and won't be revisiting.

A really great little place for lunch. The owners are brilliant: funny, friendly, idiosyncratic. This is such a little find. Oh, and the pea and ham soup is a must.

Lucky we came across this hidden treasure on our way to CornwallLovely hot chocolate & coffee and a very tasty bacon & Brie sandwichFabulous service in wonderful quaint setting, we were made to feel very at home

Lovely little place. Friendly quirky and different.Guys had a great attitude and food was served quickly and was excellentGood value for money

Went here with three friends. Tried different teas, savoury bits like pâté, sandwiches, toasties. Then also several cake types.All were really good - lovely salads with interesting added bits on the side, cakes were fresh and really tasty. Plenty of cream and jam with the scone.Pickles the dog was lovely and curled up with us.... Until the food was gone! Then she curled back up on her little bed :)Welcoming, good quality, good value. Recommend!

My Wife and I had been shopping at my favourite comic book store and decided upon a quick coffee. I have passed by this place many times and never been in but decided to with my wife. This little gem of a place is brilliant the first thing you hear is a welcoming make your self at home and a friendly smile. The service is brilliant and the regulars will happily engage you in conversation. In short we will certainly return and highly recommend this place xxxxx.

Tucked away in a back street, this little place is a real find. Run by two of the most welcoming chaps who clearly love what they do. It's the mark of a good place when the locals frequent it, and as we enjoyed our drinks (hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows for one and hot apple juice with cloves for me). The have a very friendly dog called Pickles who is usually the first to check out new arrivals and adds to the general ambience and good vibe of this place. It's also very reasonably priced. Definitely worth a visit on many different counts!

What a find! We were warmly greeted and made to feel most welcome. The only downside for me was the quality of the hot chocolate. I'd rather have payed more and had a chocolate made with milk rather than what I guess to be Galaxy ( just add water) -it has a waxy texture!! Anyway, we will definitely return. Highly recommended!!!!

Had the great pleasure of calling in last Saturday for a spot of brunch, it was a super little place, just like home, the boys are wonderful hosts, they are friendly, and attentive. They made us southerners feel right at home, and included us in all the local gossip, and news. The tea shop is small, but cozy, and is full with collectable crap all over the place,I loved that, just like home, the meals were hot, tasty, and presented well, NOT like home!!..its just as well I don't live near, ide be there every day, pestering them for food, and chats, ( gossip)...thank you boys, you made our day, and I,m warning you..WE'LL BE BACK!!..xx Gabbs, Nigel, and Rob..from Kent.

My wife and I went in for tea and scones one afternoon last week. It is a cosy little place, filled with objects and nick-nacks. In the cold light of day, the place feels a little tired, with dusty shelves and chipped china. But it doesn't matter when taken as a whole because the experience is lovely. The two chaps running it are utterly charming and made us feel very welcome. We shared a cream tea and (unlike a lot of places) there was plenty of cream and jam to go with the delicious scones. If we were local, we would happily go back regularly. As it happens, it was the perfect spot to sit and relax for us that day.

Have visited here several times before, but I'm certainly not what I would call a regular, maybe calling in once a year. That said, we decided to take my parents with us this time. I don't think the owners remember me from one year to the next, but the welcome is as if we are old friends. My parents fell in love with this place the moment they walked in. The owners couldn't do enough to make us feel at home and it's obvious to see why the place is full of locals. It seems a real hub of the community. All that aside the tea's and coffee we had were very refreshing, served in lovely china. The scones are wonderful as was the coffee cake we had.It's rare to find such a perfect combination of ambiance and good food. My parents have said they'll be going back, even without us!
