Toast in East Devon

Very friendly welcome, thank you! Pleasant lunch for both of us. I couldn't eat all of mine (not your fault!). I apologised for this as we left to be told that they give big portions; they certainly do....

I've vististed toast in honiton several times and usually had a great experience, but my recent visit was disappointing. While the food was excellent before this time the hand carved ham was very tough and chewy my partner found it differcult to cut through with a knife , when the waitress came to check on our meal and asked if everythitn is okay we mentioned it was all lovely but yet to really tuck into our lunch later to find the ham far too tough to eat , the waitress was very friendly when coming to clear the plates the ham was left behind so we mentioned that it was very tough to eat . When coming to pay for the meal it was very disappointing that we weren't offered any deduction on the meal , it was only when I asked that we had 1.50 off our 30 pounds bill .

Was very impressed with the breakfast and sitting outside in the courtyard was pleasant , highly recommend.

Lovely breakfast, great service, lovely atmosphere and very reasonable - what more do you need?!

Damn good coffee and a fine coronation chicken sandwich , really nice cafe , very busy and I can understand why A++++

Today, Saturday 12th. October 2024, we decided to try this cafe, having been there once before. We sat in the garden for about 30 minutes, during which time, 3 waitresses passed us by without acknowledging us, then 5 waitresses served the table near us, and then another 2 waitresses passed us and Not one asked if we ready to order. We decided we had, had enough and walked out and up to Cafe # 1, went to the counter, picked what we wanted, paid for it and sat down for it to be brought to us in under 10 minutes. We shall not be returning to this place again, also too pricey.

Came here for breakfast and had never been before. We both ordered the full english breakfast. Most of the ingredients were lovely and fresh, however we both had 2 poached eggs and they were not hot or runny so I can only assume that they had been sat out for a while before they had got to our table. The bread wasn't the freshest and despite the menu stating 'buttered toast', it did not taste at all like real butter. The prices are very expensive for what you get. We definitely expected more but despite the issues, we did enjoy it.

A lovely place for tea and cake or something bigger. I just needed to fill a gap so I ordered a pot of Earl Grey and a flapjack.

Staff were helpful and accommodating My carrot and coriander soup was excellent. Lovely rustic traditional wooden tables.

We were in the Honiton area for a few days with our dogs. On the way back from a trip out, we wanted somewhere local that allowed dogs, and Toast fitted the bill. In the end, we visited twice, as the food and service were so good. Both times, we sat in the covered garden, which was lovely. Perfect eggs on toast, amazing bacon, tasty cheese and chutney sandwich with lovely fresh bread. Whenever we are back in Honiton, we will return.

With my 89 father we entered the cafe, sat down , only to be told that we had to leave because of our dog. Toast advertised that it was dog friendly but turns out this is just in the garden. Left disgruntled and went to cafe #1 instead. I pointed out they had no notice that dogs were not were welcome.

We sat in the beautiful garden area which was very quiet and peaceful The service was, as always, excellent as was the food and coffee. This retail outlet is, without doubt, the best in Honiton and we shall soon be there again

Sat in the garden enjoying the last of the summer sunshine.

Lovely cafe in Honiton. Sit in or outside in the Lovely garden area. Had the cream tea for two. 4 scones 2 pots of jam and a load of proper clotted cream. Even offered us more if we needed it. Great selection of other cakes and snacks / meals.

was given dairy milk instead of oat after telling them I have a server allergy. this caused me to become very unwell and needing emergency treatment. the way they reacted was diabolical.. ill never return. this has caused me to trust nobody as allergies should be taken seriously.

Popped in here for a quick brunch for the first time in 4 years. The last time we were here, it was still covid times, and they managed that impressively. Today, we received a warm welcome and were offered a choice of seating areas. Nice choice of sandwiches, breakfasts, and brunches. Nothing was too much trouble. Gluten-free....no problem. Lovely GF bread used for the sandwiches. We fully intend to call in to 'Toast' more often.

We were sat in the terrace and it was absolutely beautiful! Like being in a secret garden. The food was delicious and the staff were super friendly and accommodating. 10/10 would recommend!

I love Toast. Great coffee. Brilliant staff. Excellent breakfast. Annoying chairs.

Lovley place and excellent food. The chai latte was particularly delicious 😁

Stopped in here for a cake and a coffee and the peanut butter brownie was absolutely amazing!

Delicious food, beautiful atmosphere (especially love the garden) and friendly staff ❤

Toast is my stopping point when travelling to the south west for holidays. Absolutely love this place. Service, menu choice and ambience are all excellent. Been here 4 times over the last 4 years and never disappoints.

We visited for breakfast. It was superb! This lovely cafe serves wonderful breakfasts. I had the half full English, this was one bacon, one sausage, one egg, baked beans, hash brown, half a tomato, mushrooms and toast. The whole breakfast was two of everything. My husband had mushrooms on toast, again it was amazing. The mushrooms were so tasty and the plate was full. The cappuccino I had was perfect. They serve all kinds of meals, but we visited early and wanted breakfast. We were passing through Honiton, but if I lived anywhere nearby I would be a regular.

Excellent food. Lovely ambience. Highly recommend.

Easy parking at the rear of the cafe , the best food and atmosphere in town , lovely helpful staff , it’s a must place to come and visit , the garden is beautiful….

Stopped here for lunch with my partner and 10 month old daughter on our way to visit family in Cornwall. Ordered lunch 10 minutes before the kitchen closed at 3, food was delicious, came quickly, and we did not feel rushed. Lovely staff and really beautiful garden seating. Absolutely recommend! Thanks!

Stopped on our way.from Hampshire to Cornwall, second visit to this lovely small business. Great Mac & Cheese & Quiche of the day. Too full to try the fabulous looking cakes!

I have dietary requirements. They are able to adjust the menu to meet my needs and to cook in a way that is acceptable to me. I go back again and again

Not much to say about Toast! Apart from what a little gem. Great staff, prices not bad. Food very good, next time we'll sample the breakfast, that looked good.

Nice little cafe... had to wait quite a while for our food and had already almost finished our coffees..but the food was good! Would go back if in the area. (Tip: Don't sit in the back room...you end up sat next to a long toilet queue!)

Nice little place. Outside garden tables for the warm sunny days. Friendly staff, good food.

Took my mother there for her birthday lunch. Large tasty portions!

Though the weather was windy there was sun and we were able to sit in the adorable garden that they have in the back. Lovely little place in the heart of Honiton. The inside is also very quaint and rustic to sit in as well with welcoming staff. I had a delicious Brie and Cranberry toastie while my mother chose an Orange and Pecan cake from one of the many options on display. Very delicious, highly recommend.

What a gem! Delicious food beautifully presented by friendly staff. Loved your quirky garden and loo. Fab! Thankyou

We found this fabulous little gem after seeing a sign in the car park…we sat outside in the garden area and ordered avocado and poached eggs on sourdough and mushrooms on toast…..both very tasty! The waitresses were very friendly and helpful! We enjoyed every aspect of our first visit and will definitely be back!

Popped in for breakfast, but shan’t be returning. My husband and I both ordered the avocado on toast, which normally comes with poached egg. I asked the waitress if I could swap mine for fried, she raised her eyebrows and I asked if that was ok. She said sure. We were sat near to the kitchen so could hear the conversations. The waitress reported that one was normal, the other with fried egg, to which she got a disgruntled reply of ‘fried?’ After a short time, our order was placed on the side ready to be delivered to our table. The waitresses commented that the plate looked nice with fried egg, but it wasn’t very healthy compared to poached. I understand this may seem small, however left me feeling a little self conscious about the food I had ordered when I was hoping to have a bit of a treat for a change. When the food came to our table, it looked nice however the bread it was served on was rather impossible to cut so we ended up leaving some of it.

What a breakfast.. worth every penny .. thank you

Lovely hidden garden behind the high street. Great coffee and wide selection of cakes. So much better than a faceless chain. Very good service, friendly staff

The staff here are so friendly and the food is great

Great group of ladies that work here. Always happy to serve and helpful with seating

What a little gem with a garden at the back. Stopped here on route from Plymouth to London for a cream tea.

What a find, on the way back from Cornwall, stopped off in Honiton and found this amazing cafe,well done, fantastic sandwiches, and the staff were so friendly,

Nice little cafe. Our breakfast was very tasty. In terms of price, it's not exactly cheap for us, but it's okay for the performance it offers. The restaurant is very lovingly furnished and has a certain charm. After eating we couldn't pass the cake counter without taking something with us. We would definitely eat something here again.

Nice coffee if weather nice has garden seating aswell and rear access from the car park..

Lovely little independent cafe with the most amazing food! Service was quick and efficient, really friendly staff, nothing was too much trouble. Definitely going back again!

A very cute cafe, big menu, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. The outside seating area looks like it will be gorgeous once the weather is better. Highly recommend.

A very pleasant cafe. Staff were polite, friendly and helpful. They were doing a good lunchtime trade when we arrived. Food was very good and served in decent sized portions. We will happily return.

Great little cafe.. lovely carrot cake

Lovely venue with good food and friendly service.

Beautiful place with friendly staff and very delicious food. There was a small problem with one of the meals and the team sorted it immediately, really professional and lovely and I will definately be back.

Good food delivered promptly. Friendly service and a warm atmosphere.

Fantastic find. Very friendly, quality produce. Even do a great takeaway menu if you're in a rush. Sit down is amazing and on nice days, a beautiful table in the garden. Love this place.

An excellent cafe! Nice garden when the weather is suitable of course. Good selection of meals.

We stopped on the way through to Cornwall and had a lovely lunch. Really lovely staff and great food.

Driving through the high street this place cought our eyes. Too or surprise, also a recommendation from a friend. You can park on the streets for an hour free. We wished we had more time, as the menu was extensive. It can get crowded inside, but, as we found out, a lovely back garden with tables and lots of flowers are also a delight to be seated by. The brunch plates came in fast and tasted delicious. It is clean and comfortable inside. Greeted by friendly girls proud of their coffee shop. It makes a huge difference to the great service you get. If you are vegetarian this place is for you. Lots of options in the menu. The croissant with cranberry and cheese (toasted) was my favorite.

Toast is a fantastic cafe, gorgeous interior, warm and friendly atmosphere. Staff were all so friendly. The food is fantastic, top quality. I had the quiche and salad and my sister had the soup, both very tasty, I would highly recommend going there.

A lovely little gem in Honiton high street

Great food, service and value. The garden is beautiful. They welcome dogs, but not indoors, so we won't be able to eat here again unless the sun is shining!

Cake are superb. Always great fresh tasty and wholesome food

Thank you to everyone at Toast for accomadating our Baby Shower on Friday the 13th of October. The food was amazing (as usual). Such a fantastic vibe, happy staff and beautiful surroundings. I highly recommended Toast for any up and coming celebrations 🍾. We sat in the courtyard, it was raining 🌧 but we were completely covered, not coats required that day xxx

Looking for somewhere to have lunch, and found this hidden gem of a place, food was delicious very well presented and cooked in ample proportions (which seems not to be the case in many places these days) staff were brilliant, service with a smile. The decor and ambiance were very relaxing and welcoming. We will definitely be back when next in Honiton. Thank you.

Great place to stop on the way to Croyde bay

they are not able to separate bills on tables and a lovely stranger ended up paying my bill.

Lovely place for cake and coffee. A good selection of gluten free cakes too.

The coronation chicken sandwiches were unbelievable with a leaving customer drooling after ours !! We happened upon this place for a light lunch and the menu choices were great. We had our 1 year old grandson with us and the garden setting made it perfect for a high chair lunch for him .

Great service, lovely location, dog friendly. Really enjoyable visit.

Fab little garden with excellent food and speedy and attentive service. Coronation Chicken sandwich was superb as was the Brie and caramelised onion quiche with fries and salad. Shady spot under a grape vine on a very hot day. Perfect.

The menu is limited for breakfast items like missing granola and yogurt. Got avo on toast and eggs were overcooked as well. The staff are lovely and the setting is really pretty in the garden. I'd go back to try the food again for another review.

Friendly staff, good menu options, and good food!

Fantastic cakes, and very dog-friendly :)

I was meeting a friend in Honiton and wanted somewhere with vegan options. I found Toast which had great reviews, very helpful on the phone and said to just turn up as I could not make a garden booking but likely plenty of room. Was quite busy when we arrived but lovely table outside and great menu, I had a delicious vegan meal it was really lovely, pretty setting and attentive staff. Would definitely return - thank you.

Lovely courtyard garden, nice food and great service

Amazing afternoon tea spot. You can tell it’s a local favourite. Portions are generous and quality is great!

Such a nice place. Staff were really friendly. Food is great. Definitely sit in the garden if the weather is good. Well worth a visit.

recommended by local it was excellent. only a sandwich but what a sandwich !!! could not fault it. Sat outside under actual grapes !! Good food and therefore good prices.

When we were shown were to seat it was in a walking area to the garden and a very strong smell of cannabis was being blown up though the garden, We ordered our all day breakfast and about 4 minutes gone by another couple ordered up there all day breakfast, and they had got there food before we did and ten minutes went by and we was giving our breakfast, Bacon was like cardboard and no taste sausage was well cremated mushroom was like muss toast was dry as , Lovely setting, pity about the food

Nice place. Ordered a sandwich which was packed. However, £7.50 for beans (heinz) on toast for a 4 year old is completely unacceptable

Thursday morning for brunch. Busy and humming. Smiling staff. Excellent very hot coffee (so rare) and delicious brunch. Well done to you all. An excellent example of a really good independant cafe supported by the local community.

Excellent food and service. Will be back Lovely outside seating..... recommended. Staff very helpful and friendly....

The cafe is nice but the courtyard is great. Just had coffee and cake but both were top class. Good gluten free cake options

over from Australia,we spent many a day in the garden and cafe......really good food,staff fantastic and miss it now back in Melbourne.

Food was excellent service with a smile 👌

So Toast is a lovely place for food and refreshments and always has been ,no complaints there , however there has been a few occasions I’ve witnessed a woman in her perhaps late 50’s with dark curly hair has a mannerism or mannerisms that are quite rude towards customers. Today was no exception as a frail old lady got confused about her stamp for her coffee card and instead the serving woman showed no compassion and went on to belittle the old lady in front of her also very old freind and myself and partner. After many loyal years of visiting I sadly will no longer ,very off putting experience.

Not impressed- sat outside, partner ignored for about 10 minutes, table sticky and seats damp. Didn’t stay for food as overpriced

Love everything about the place

Great café on a lovely high street. Good choice of food which is fairly priced and great portion sizes

We found ourselves in Honiton after a navigational slip up the Blackdowns sent us down the Otter Valley. Parked easily by the side of the main street. Went for some lunch. We both had coronation chicken jacket potato. The potato was generous, and filled with fresh hot fragrant and delicious filling. It was accompanied by home made coleslaw and a green salad dressed to perfection. Our tea was also very good. Attentive service and friendly clientele.

Very nice cafe with good coffee and food. Lovely garden area with tables dotted around between lots of shrubs and bushes, feels like having tea in the the woods. Will visit again.

Recommended by a friend's mum. Lovely little place. Breakfast was great, stuff where lovely. We will be back

Lovely food, fab people, go there, you'll love it.

We called in on our way from Oxfordshire to Cornwall. Having looked up Toast before we set off we weren't disappointed. Parking 5 min walk. The garden, food and service was very good. Would use again definitely. Ordered coffee, brie and cranberry sandwich and an all day breakfast.

What a beautiful cafe & gardens, recommend to me by a friend. My husband and I sat and had a delicious breakfast with coffee out in the gardens! Such lovely staff, nothing was too much trouble, what a little gem we will be back! And we will tell all our friends

Popped in here for our lunch and were delighted to find they have a lovely garden out the back where we enjoyed an excellent and very reasonably priced chicken and bacon salad. Friendly service, lovely surroundings and great food. Thoroughly recommended.

Food is all ways hot,the staff are all ways freindly and reasonably priced.

What a lovely find as a pit stop on our travels today. Pretty secluded garden, great menu, friendly service and food was very good.

We had breakfast on the beautiful garden through the back - visited a few times now and consistently good food, service and atmosphere, would recommend!

Lovely space with a great atmosphere and quality food offerings! Brilliantly varied menu which caters for a lot of different dietary requirements. We had a cream tea and the portions were very generous, I ended up bringing the last scone with jam and cream home with me, beautifully boxed up by the very helpful and pleasant staff :) Will definitely be back if I’m ever in the area again!

Lovely place, lovely staff. Limited options on alternate milk and no gf/ df options for cakes unfortunately. But lovely cafe.

It's a shame there is a maximum of 5 stars. Food is amazing, interior design is great, service is unparalleled. You have to go. You won't be disappointed
