Trudy Scrumptious in West Devon - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Very popular café, takeaway coffee and cake for us, nice big cups and a tasty carrot cake. Sat nearby along the river. Lots of different cakes, sweets and ice creams available.

Really lovely little outlet. The lady serving was so sweet. Although they don't list milkshakes she made my 13 year old son one anyway. My cappuccino was lovely and hot and my 18 month old granddaughter is loving her strawberries and cream ice cream. Very fairly priced, will definitely return

Went today with my lactose intolerant daughter, it was really good to see more than one flavour of dairy free ice and they were delicious! My daughter had the chocolate with blue millions and as an added bonus and extra cone as the first one broke and I had the St Clements sorbet which was delicious! Had a lovely chat with the owner and felt like she genuinely took an interest in us. Highly recommended and will definitely go again

DISAPPOINTED 😞 VERY poor standard of food. £1.50 for barely any cheese on chips. Toasties was cold and not even toasted with little to none filling. never going again plus the wait for our order was ridiculous especially as other people had to have there food re done as they complained. DO NOT GO

The owner is an absolutely amazing lady, she has all the time in the world for her customers, whilst also serving you quickly. The food, which we have sampled probably everything now, is scrumpy and cooked to perfection, the food and drinks are very reasonably priced. There's a lovely seating area beside the river. It would ve great to see other food vendors take on her care for the community, for those who are need of a lunch and drink, the Pay Forward scheme is great, which I always do , meaning there's food and a drink for those who need it, great idea 👏 👏 👏

A good little place in the park. No shelter from weather though!

Great range of options. I have a dairy allergy so often have issues if I want to have an ice cream with my family. I had at least 3 options which was great. Reasonably priced and the staff were so friendly. Thank you. 😊

Great range, especially for a small place. Didn't have to wait long for our tasty hot food and the staff were super friendly and professional.

Super friendly and very helpful staff. Excellent location. Great selection of ice creams including vegan and gluten free cones. Doggie ice cream in the summer. Highly recommended.

An attractive setting and a cleanly presented coffee/sandwich shack. But the service is terribly slow and the coffee is positively anemic. If you can’t get a cup of black coffee right, what hope is there?

Fantastic service and food, it was Mothers Day and the young lady was on her own, she was working incredibly hard and efficiently, she was polite and happy, she gave us our food and drinks and was top class. Thank you.

Went yesterday after a swim 4 coffees all Luke warm, 2 bacon toasties squeezed so flat not nice also told twice they had no butter, chips ? Cheese just sprinkled not melted and curly fries £27 I defo will not be doing that again rubbish food over priced very expensive day out for us.

Oh my goodness totally awfull , both me and my husband missed our breakfast as we had to be at an event in the meadow very early so we waited until gone 11am to order a bacon and sausage sandwich from this place .... never again when it came there was 1 slice of bacon and 1 sausage between 2 slices of bread and 1 of the slices was the crust !!! So I did go and complain and the young girl redone the sandwich with the same amount again !! And also managed to totally cremate the meat !!! Awful place !!!

Not impressed with the poor attitude of one of the staff members. Visited yesterday with my 4 year old and asked “does your ice cream have egg in it? My daughter has a life threatening allergy to it so I need to find out”. The male server shrugged and said “I don’t think so”. Then proceeded to just stand leaning against the counter. I asked “could you check then please?”. A lady (who I’m assuming is the manager/owner) came over and asked what was wrong and I repeated the above. She then checked the list and said “yes they all do contain egg in apart from the sorbet”. I’m just glad I didn’t take this man’s word for it as my daughter would have gone into anaphylactic shock and ended up in hospital 😡

Such a perfect after school treat! The ice cream flavours are so interesting. Jan donut is a favourite. Well worth waiting for while kids play in the play park. Love that they take card!

Brilliant Ice Cream, the mint is to die for! Great service and friendly staff. Highly recommended!

An an awesome part of Tavistock meadows. They have a great menu and with plenty of options for vegans too. My 6 year old was beyond thrilled with her ice-cream sundae!

A great little cabin, chips, ice creams, coffee, tea and cold drinks. Been going here since I was a child and taken my son and now my grandchildren. It even has seats outside and sells sweeties and duck food too!

Really nice ice cream. They were just closing at 1600 but were kind enough to make my daughter an ice cream at the last minute. How thoughtful

Very long wait as the 1 person serving seemed to be unable to do more than 1 thing at a time. When I did reach the front of the queue they didn’t have what I asked for, and my second was also not available - despite both being shown on the displayed menu…annoying but more so given the apparent uncaring attitude of the person serving. It would have been much quicker (& I would have received what I requested) if I’d gone into the pannier market (5 mins walk). EDIT/UPDATE - in view of a prompt apology to this review by the owner I have increased it to 3* & will be happy to try it again. I think the fact that I’d cycled from Plymouth & waited for ages in the cold did not help my mindset at the time. The account of my experience remains the same though. (Thank you for offering the voucher, it won’t be necessary) but I will be back, previous experience here has been favourable 👍

My coffee was bad. Nice people but don't seem to know the difference between a flat white and latte. Perhaps I was unlucky.

Waited 30 mins for 3 toasties. Food was awful quality. Brie and cranberry toastie was more like jam on toast. Kept being told we were next but we still waited ages.

Super friendly service. Amazing coffee the best we’ve had, plus loads of choice and great value. Deluxe hot chocolate excellent for all ages. Love the ‘pay it forward’ idea, reasonable cost and helps anyone who needs a little extra.

Trudy Scrumptious is a lovely kiosk in the Tavistock Park, near the Meadowlands Leisure Centre. Does a whole range of good looking savoury and sweet snacks. Certainly not a greasy spoon ! Coffee was good.

5/5 coffee, 3/5 service. Would recommend.

Ice cream delicious. Staff not using gloves. Handling money and touching cornets . 5 star hygiene rating???????

Trudy Scrumptious is a great place to grab a cuppa or a spot of lunch. We all enjoyed a toasted sandwich and I can personally recommend the hot chocolate. I was impressed that there were also options for dairy free and vegan choices. The home made ice cream was a hit, staff were friendly and it is situated in a lovely location by the river with a lovely playground for children to play. Highly recommended.

We had lunch there during our visit to Tavistock, its a lovely place, new, modern design, very nice service with smiling girls selling delicious stuff. There were 5 of us so we had very good insight into menu: teasty coffe and tea, toasties were full of filling and amazing , home made ice cream: my coconut ice cream was very.... coconutty :-) Prices are reasonable and affordable... to summarise: nice place, great food and useful staff ,highly recomended! -Max and the gang!

Walking through the park and along the river has to include a brief refreshment here. Take a seat and watch the world go by...

Wrote this up a long time ago but the review seems to have evaporated. No worry because it goes from strength to strength, is perfectly placed, has an original but simple take on ice cream and hot/cold drinks, no tat, no junk silly food, fun for the kids while the grown ups luxuriate in all the flavours. Not far from the water but away from the hectic bustle of the main streets. This place can but busy too but with happy easy going punters. Wish we had one of these in our local park. Don’t confuse or connect with the ex-pub scrumptious named place by the main road in Mary Tavy, which is a very different kettle of fish.

We were walking along the Pathway which follows the River Tavy and near the Children’s Park is Trudy Scrumptious. Ideal Location TS offers a good selection of Food & Drinks to cater for all ages. We had a Local Ice-Cream each which were as the Business Name suggests.............Trudy Scrumptious..........Great Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Name by the way!!

Really nice home made ice cream, as well as a choice of coffees and cakes. Perfectly situated by the park so it’s great for a pit stop. Open every day after school too so perfect for a treat on the way home.

Myself and my family took a trip to the park and came across this lovely cabin looking for some light bites to eat and coffee. We had the ham & cheese toasties. ( option of white or brown bread) and they were lovely at a very good price. The coffee also lovley! We also had some icecream, I recommend the homemade Tiramisu it was Divine!! On display also were a range of cakes, crisps , drinks , sweets. Something for everyone. We will be back!

Trudy's homemade lemon meringue ice cream, beautifully served by friendly staff, conjured up memories from 60 years ago. The difference now is that my 'gluten & dairy-free' friend could enjoy a tub of vegan coconut, which she described as "out of this world". My plan is to visit the cabin regularly during the summer, and work my way through the outstanding menu!

We had great fun at the pirate day in the park and then had delicious home made vegan coconut ice cream. We will definitely be back soon!

Surprised to find this was a wooden shack & not open despite stating on the board outside that it is open daily (our visit was on a Thursday).However, my main complaint is the name of it as there is a business in Mary Tavy called 'Cafe Scrumptious' that truly loves up to its name!

Came across this whilst out in Tavistock on a sunny day and we were very glad we did. Excellent service, divine ice cream and very reasonable prices made this a happy surprise.

We took our children to play at Meadowlands Park and found Trudy Srumptious ideally situated. There was a really good range of ice cream flavours and I was particularly impressed by the choice of healthy and vegan options available. We will definitely be going back for more!

So many delicious flavours of ice cream. You will need time to choose! The Banoffee was super and Mum loved the lemon!

Loved the ice cream, unusual flavours that are very tempting, like jam doughnut, jaffa cake, popcorn, bounty, strawberry pavlova. Can't wait to try more!

Seriously homemade, actually by Trudy. Expect flavours like Banoffee, Jaffa Cake, Popcorn and Jam Doughnut. Also good coffee, sandwiches, muffins, panini... This must be where the Fabulous Five got their picnics.

This small. but perfectly formed, cabin in the park serves the most delicious range of homemade ice creams and treats. I was initially encouraged by the steady stream of customers making comments such as 'to die for' and 'scrummy'. I was certainly not disappointed when I tucked into my jam doughnut ice cream! I cannot wait to return for a Lemon Posset flavoured treat.
