Whistle-Stop Cafe, Teignmouth Station, Teignmouth, Devon in Teignbridge

Always good food here

Great breakfast, great staff, 👍

A real find. Lovely staff. Homemade soup was delicious. I'll be back

Served an uncooked cold pork sausage to a child, that’s all I need to say really

Really good food and not only good vfm but actually cheap. Straightforward cafe food cooked well and served with a smile.

Very quiet this morning got my drink for the train journey. Polite staff

Had a full breakfast with coffee, alright at the time but within an hour had such a bad stomach Also it was so cold no heating at all

Great little cafe.....friendly staff and very popular as on the train line and popular with bikers . Lovely sitting outside in the sunshine ....food is always hot and freshly made

A lovely quirky railway station selling goods and second hand books as well as a decent brekkie.....we always remember this place from years gone when we popped in on way home from a holiday and they had no sandwiches left.....the lady in there offered to make some up for us and very delicious they were too.

Great breakfast and great value for money

Very dissapointed. We were on a train journey to Exeter on Saturday 10th February 24 and decided to disembark at Teignmouth Railway station to enjoy a breakfast at the Whistle stop cafe. I checked their website online which stated they were open until 4pm. Having got to the cafe at 12 noon we found it all closed up and not open as stated. Just to warn other potential customers who rely on up to date information on their website to avoid wasting your time.

Delightful cafe. I was freezing cold at the station so popped in for a hot drink and hot pasty. The lady who runs the cafe is really lovely. The coffee, hot chocolates, and pasties are delicious. Reasonably priced as well.

Great place for a coffee or English breakfast good value

Such a cool little old school cafe!

Great value for money and the service is always friendly. Breakfast pictured was £6.10 including a mug of tea

Great place on a Tuesday they have a welcoming bike night that's really cool and do lots for charity please support this local business

Home from home! (..and free WiFi now of course.)

What a great place to go for a full English. Lovely welcoming staff. Would definitely recommend of you are in the area.

We had a really good breakfast even though it was nearly lunchtime. One meat eater and one vegetarian. Well cooked and hot and included fried bread as an option - haven't had that for years.

A good place for a chat and a fry up, the staff are friendly and the food is good. Good atmosphere.

Very friendly staff. They do a lot for charity. Great food

Went there when I was on holiday at chirstmas and the customer service was excellent And the food was delicious definitely recommend to family and friends

We had the standard fare breakfast. Food was nice and hot. I loved the fried bread. Atmosphere was ok.

Rude and inconsiderate staff. I had been walking all day in the hot sun, then stuck at a stopped train for an hour because of a fire, desperately needing water, only enough money on my card for my bus home. I politely asked the lady if she wouldn't mind refilling my water bottle with the tap, she said yes for a donation to their charity. I said yes but all I had was about 20p, she said no we take 50p. So I ask my mum if she has money and she only has 10p. So basically, this women denies a dehydrated person water, because they need 50p "donation" to a charity for building a well in Africa. Oh the irony! Also that's not what a donation is, that's buying, if it was donation she would take what I had. If I had anymore I would have given it. So I go thirsty in this heat, and the kids in Africa that she cares so much about don't get my donation either. Wow what a SAINT!

Had a bacon sandwich, Wasn't nice over priced for what I got. Microwaved the bun so was soggy. Cuppa tea and bacon bap was like £5.50 to much for the quality.

Lovely Time we had again!! Even bought some clothes for their Charity.♥️♥️❤️♥️ . Then our Friends Got the Train home ♥️❤️♥️❤️

Good for a quick stop before the train Also great for an affordable breakfast

Very friendly and great tea well recommended

Good old fashioned English breakfast with good locally sourced products.

Good breakfast, good price and good service 👍

Fab working "man" cafe. Eggie backey . Cheese in toast to die for . Lots if charity fundraising. Lovely owner

Lovely place, like going there for coffee.xx

Whistle stop Appropriate name as l didn't have to wait very long for my std breakfast . All freshly cooked to order and you can tell.

Good biker cafe, nice coffee and picked up some back armour for a fiver!

Went in there on 21st aug and lady behind till refused to serve me or my little boy for a bottle of pop because we didn’t have a mask, bear in mind there where two people already by till with no mask, her excuse was she wouldn’t serve as didn’t have a mask and she was going through chemo, make your own mind up on that one peeps as I know I wouldn’t be working if going through chemo

Had the most tasty breakfast here today. The staff are extremely welcoming and friendly, the food was delicious and very well priced. Will be returning for another breakfast soon.

Basic cafe with lots of memorabilia on the walls, great breakfasts and right on the station in Teignmouth Visited again in August 2021 for lunch, had an all day breakfast which was delicious and good value for money, burgers, eggs, jacket potatoes also on the menu, kids menu options as well, dining area has about 8 tables for four and staff were very freindly.

Really friendly staff, good value, excellent food. Dog friendly with outside seating for the owners.

Best cafe in town great food friendly staff well priced

I returned again to have my fab English Breakfast from The Whistlestop Cafe. Always freshly cooked food, served promptly and delicious food I always look forward to. Friendly service with a smile. I ordered the Standard Breakfast with hash browns, beans and toast with a milky coffee. You can have tomatoes instead of beans and fried bread instead of toast if you want. Prices are very good and they do various sizes of breakfasts too plus a good selection of other food. I love the Railway themed artefacts around the cafe too, it is a great place to relax and eat your meal. They have a childs high chair too if you have a little one with you. The toilet facilities are on the Station just beside the cafe. You can also get your food and drink to travel with and a selection of sweets, chocolate and crisps. Newspapers for sale and they sell pre-owned books for 50p if you want a read on your travels, such a bargain. Love this cafe, go and have a meal there if you are in Teignmouth and you won't regret it.

One of the best places in Teignmouth to get a fry up, definitely the cheapest as well, the bacon is so nice, bare in mind they don't do any swaps.

Lovely food and very cheap prices. £9 for an ice cream, drink, jacket potato and fish finger sandwich

I go regularly to The Whistlestop Cafe as I live locally and it is a brilliant place to go for food especially the cooked breakfasts, the coffee is great too. The breakfasts are always freshly cooked and very tasty. I love the Cafe it is full of atmosphere with lots of rail artefacts on the walls. There are plenty of tables outside. A lot of care is being taken to protect staff and customers from Covid-19 at the moment. There is always a warm welcome from the lovely staff serving in there. The prices are great, I had a Standard Breakfast and a Milky Coffee this time, all delicious. They do large breakfasts too for those with big appetites. The other food is great too. You can get cold drinks, hot drinks, take away food, magazines/newspapers, sweets, crisps and books for your journey too. The owner supports lots of local charities too. It is a fab experience and excellent freshly cooked food. There are toilets available on the station and they are very clean. The photos I have shown are from a previous visit as my phone was out of battery this time. Highly recommend a visit if you are in Teignmouth.

Love this cafe and my friend runs it she is like a sister that I never had :) she runs it really well and she deserve all the help and love she can get

Have called in for Sunday brunch many times and always happy, friendly staff. A good cappacino and a delicious vegetarian breakfast.

Visiting Teignmouth for the day as we often do. Usually go to sea front cafe (you know the one!) but today it was surprisingly closed. Remembed visiting WSC a few years back for a bacon butty so decided to see if it was still running. Greeted very warmly by staff and ordered cheese on toast for us both which was delicious and well loaded. Came with a pot of tea big enough for a large family but very welcome! We will definitely be back, maybe for a breakfast next time which look amazing. Many thanks

Excellent food at good prices and friendly staff

Have had a few very good lunches at the WCT. enjoyed all of them, thanks to all who serve.

Cracking breakfast BIKERS Welcome

Great friendly staff and some great freshly cooked meals

Proper Station greasy spoon! Fresh breakfasts at a great price, & home made bread pudding. Awesome!

Friendly staff and nice cafe food ideal 👍

Good no nonsense food and bread pudding to die for

Quick service with friendly staff.

Great little cafe, everyone is very welcoming and for a small cafe the food is great at a really good price. Breakfasts are fantastic.

I just recently visited the cafe, and I just adored every moment from it and it has one of the best ham and egg buns even I fail to make something so simple bad. The staff are so lovely and it's really nice to learn how much Teignmouth has developed over the years.

Great atmosphere, really friendly place including all the staff and I say I the food definitely has great value for money and it's a nice walking distance from the cafe to town, especially those who wants to stroll around the area. I will definitely come back again and order the breakfast meal! Thank you so much. xx

The best value cafe for simple breakfast at the station. Free WiFi too.

Stopped at the Whistlestop as our final destination after a charity ride. good home cooked food was on offer a smile and in my case a well earned mug of tea. I love this place, the toilets are immaculate and the tannoy announcements make it feel as though the train will be arriving any minute.

Very friendly staff lovely coffee

If i was able to rate a zero i would, cooked food is disgusting and most certainly not worth wasting your money here as there's much better places to have better quality food in teignmouth.

Not some were I would eat friendly staff food ok

Nice little coffee stop used by bikers. Excellent prices, good stop.

Great selection for breakfast. Don't forget to ask for the bread and butter pudding

I love this place for a nice little coffee before running to grab my trains in the morning. Really wicked breakfasts too!

A cafe attached to the railway station. The bread and butter pudding is a must if there is any left when you visit. Tuesday the cafe attracts a lot of friendly bikers who do a lot of good work for local Devon charities. The breakfasts are delicious.

Lovely people, great atmosphere. Wonderful grub. The fried breakfasts are the best. They go from girlie-sized to big to bloody enormous. The big one was just right for brunch. Came on an oval plate. Highly recommended.

Nice friendly staff food is nicely cook food

had full english breakfast there a couple of times. Cooked properly not served up luke warm as in wetherspoons. You get what you pay for. Would definately recommend it.

Love bringing my kids here once in a while for a cooked breakfast. Please don't ever change it - perfect as it is!

The only downside of our visit was my Mum's black coffee, as it was not very good quality. However, the Chocolate Cake, my Hot Chocolate and my Mum's Toasted Teacake were brilliant. The guys running the place were really pleasant too.

We were on holiday travelling from Torquay to Teignmouth noticed The Whistle -Stop Cafe and pulled over to have a snack.We ordered a cheese and tomato sandwich and two teas . The sandwich soon arrived , fresh bread with plenty of cheese and tomato very nice .

I have just had a fab breakfast and milky coffee at The Whistlestop Cafe, I go to this Cafe regularly, it is one of my favourite places in Teignmouth. The food is excellent and always well cooked with friendly service. Prices are very reasonable too, The breakfasts are excellent and so is the other food they serve, I have always had great meals in there. Plenty of choice and great milky coffee, my favourite. The Cafe has loads of character with old railway memorabilia on the walls. Vegetarian options on the menu too. The staff are all friendly and welcoming. If you are catching a train just let them know beforehand so they can make sure there is enough time to freshly cook your meal and then catch your train. The pies and pasties are great too, they sell sit in and take away food, you can buy your papers and magazines, sweets and drinks for the journey, they have book shelves so you can choose a book for 50p and have a read on your journey, a greetings card stand where they are 50p each or 3 for a £1, there is general bric a brac for sale too, the money raised goes to various charities and to good causes. There is a biker night on a Tuesday night and this is very well attended. There are tables inside and outside, it is lovely to sit outside on a sunny day. There is parking outside for those with cars and the cafe is all on one level for anybody with walking difficulties, there is a high chair for babies too. There are public toilets on the station you can use and there is a train information screen showing the train times inside the cafe. I would definitely recommend this Cafe if you are in the area or travelling from Teignmouth Station :-)

Lovely friendly staff, and excellent coffee.

Brilliant food and friendly staff

Excellent cafe with friendly staff & good value for money food

Had a excellent old style cafe full english breakfast a real gut buster freshly cooked and an excellent coffee.

A little gem,if you are waiting to travel well worth a visit. Great value for money. Stop to eat if you have time. Great tea aswell. First rate for good value. Old fashioned travellers cafe that does not disappoint. No frills,great.

Friendly staff and outside seating for when weather is hot and sunny

Enjoyed a lovely breakfast at the cafe this morning before catching my train

As always, friendly service with a smile.

Little cafe friendly Staff, dogs are welcome .great food & watching the trains coming in on the screen . worth popping in

One time, when I walked up to Teignmouth, I went to this Whistlestop Café and got myself a couple of juices (or of bottles of flavoured water), as I was pretty thirsty. It was nice there.

Lovely friendly staff and cosy cafe for coffee/snack whilst waiting for train. Great ambassadors for Teignmouth.

We breakfasted here, 5 of us in total. We knew it was going to be shabby from previous reviews and they were right.

This place is so friendly and nice. Worth a visit even if you go by car. Food excellent.

Have purchased 2 breakfasts, amazing customer service and friendly staff. Prices are good value for money and food smells and looks amazing. All food freshly prepared and cooked on site and even bring to the table. Will definitely be visiting again

Had breakfast here after after a 10 hour journey. Two huge breakfasts with bacon,eggs,sausages,hash browns,tomatoes,beans,mushrooms,toast/fried bread. The breakfast were served quickly and hot. Food was very tasty and needed. Ladies were polite and friendly. Would recommend and will be heading back during our holiday.

Where else can you order and get a bowl of cereal or porridge? This followed by a cooked breakfast. I always buy my snacks and drinks here for my train journey, so much better than what is served on the trains. Long may it continue. Back off Starbucks or costa!!

Great little old school cafe, real food, served well.

Arriving at the station not having had breakfast we decided on trying "The Whistle Stop". I'm glad we did. The service was fast, the food was good with a wide choice, the staff friendly, the serving was plentiful and inexpensive. OK it's not gourmet and the furniture is basic, but the walls are decorated with railway memorabilia which I found fascinating. That they were well patronised by locals is in itself a recommendation. They also sell old railway books and magazines, (for charity I believe). I wish more stations had small independent cafes rather than the expensive chains. NOTE. I think the "Terrible" review complaining that a South Devon cafe doesn't accept Scottish bank notes is unjustified. In southern England retailers know how to recognise forged English notes, but not forgeries of uncommon notes.

Not particularly great food! Popular with regulars and a great location at the train station but could certain use a good clean and a lick of paint! Biker meet on a Tuesday evening is popular - and Loud!

Personal amable y peculiar interior. Falta mucho actualizar ya que las plazas son rotas. Un montón de gente caída en aquí para el almuerzo, que es una buena señal. Menú básico con los favoritos usuales en la pantalla. Sin dejar de nuevo si me pasando la estación, estado en sitios peores!

Gran ambiente y nostalgia del viejo mundo para los cafés del pasado. Un montón de estación de tren y objetos. Un desayuno gigante inglés completo. ¿Qué más se puede pedir.

Llegar en Teignmouth el tren y sin mucho tiempo para buscar un sitio para comer, esta perfectamente. Trato amable y personal, una decoración interesante y peculiar, y buena comida casera, era justo lo que queríamos. Una pantalla que da información de tren tiempo real también...

Service was friendly they welcome my grandchildren even tho they make a mess and Melissa the manager is always smiling and polite

Another wet Sunday train cock-up: the Riviera Express once more delayed ... thank Gd for the Whistlestop which provides tea, food, newspapers and company. Those who want this place smartened up are missing the point. The totally un-smart decor, the oddments on sale, the local clientele, are what provide the slightly eccentric atmosphere. It is the antithesis of a coffee-shop.I would hate some trendy restaurateur to take it over and turn it into a 'venue'. Long live the Whistlestop, rescuer of stranded travellers.

the general feel of this place is dirty; some of the staff are very pleasant but i wouldnt eat in there again. I have heard tales of dog hair in the butter and bread pudding and the kitchen not being cleaned etc as well as out of date food being used. It is a shame as it is a prime site for travellers and locals to meet. I love cafes of bygone eras that have old world charm - but this one is looking drab and in desperate need of some love

I came in here as I was early for a train. It is perfectly good for a cheap mug of coffee or tea but not one of the great station cafes that exist in places such as Whitby.

Visited this cafe this morning. Only had Scottish banknotes and was turned away because they don't accept Scottish money. Their reasoning was because many Scottish banknotes are counterfeit. I ask a question are there no Bank of England counterfeit notes. A cafe at a railway n where teignmouth is trying to sell itself as a tourist destination. I hope the bars hoteliers and amenities respect the welcome that this excuse of a greasy cafe delivers
