Zappa's in South Hams

Always looking to support local and independent and let's face it, there are plenty in Totnes. There was just something about Zappa's that made us walk in. Glad we did. They're dog friendly so there's a bonus. I didn't clock that they were vegan as I ordered a salad with a samosa and a spinach bhaji. Got to tell you that every item on my plate was bursting with flavour - it's a riot for your taste buds. And the coffee! Probably the best latte I've had in the past year. Seriously, mug-huggingly good. Delicious. I'm so glad I ate here today. Seriously good food.

The cake we bought was expensive but fine but it was the terrible customer service that really stood out. No hello, no smile. Miserable girl took my order someone else packed it and whilst she was waiting she stood leaning on her elbows on the counter. No thank you or good bye. I wouldn't bother, the food isn't great enough to forgive the poor customer service.

As one of the only places open and serving vegan food the other day (mid-afternoon) we popped in and bought samosas (£4.95 each) which were tasteless and the pastry was thick and soggy, even opting for a cold one thinking that the reheating might have caused soggy pastry. We also bought a falafel wrap which was very thin and flavourless and cost £5.95. The best thing we ate there was the Biscoff Brownie at £3.75. The thing that really stood out for us was the surly, unsmiling member of staff who served us twice. I don’t ever remember being served by someone that miserable, completely lacking any semblance of customer care. My advice is just don’t bother!

I work in Totnes and was hankering after a salad box for lunch. Popped in to Zappa’s for the first time and saw their salad bar which looked delicious. I had a small salad box for £5.50. It was all lovely food, great variety and a great size. The young chap who served me was delightful and suggested which of the homemade sauces would accompany it. I went for the wild garlic and tahini dressing. There were other options for food and they looked just as delicious. I will be back to try them and also a fresh juice. Lovely little courtyard. A fantastic singer was just outside playing as well. I didn’t have time to stop but I wanted to!

We had falafels and a very good selection of salads. Very tasty and nutritious at a reasonable price. Would highly recommend

Zappa’s has a great choice of salads, pies, cakes, smoothies and many other goodies, all plant based and much of it organic.. yay! Lovely staff, brilliant location and generous portions. We stayed in their delightful East meets West room above the cafe and enjoyed a very comfortable 3 nights, with everything we could have wanted. A large room with a super king sized bed and an en-suite with a beautiful bath made entirely of brass. It felt very indulgent, quirky in a really good way and with many luxurious touches .. they could charge a much higher room rate, the cost was extremely modest. Highly recommend the room we had and breakfast in the cafe was lovely.

Popped in on the way back home from a long walk with the dog for a coffee and something to eat. 2 oat flat whites, a wrap and the Happy Bun - titled completely correctly! It was so delicious paired with beautiful tasting coffee. The staff were really lovely and can tell they love working there, such a nice atmosphere. Also the perfect place for a bit of people watching! Will 100% be back!

Fabulous 100% vegan cafe. We had the salad plates coffee and cake. All were outstanding. Our new go to place in Totnes 💚

We were looking for a hot drink to take away after having a lovely visit to the beautiful Totnes. We came across this lovely coffee shop. We were made to feel so welcome as soon as we walked in, the gentleman behind the counter was so friendly and so up beat it was definitely the perfect place to get a hot drink. 2 beautiful Hot choclates made, and we also ordered 2 sausage rolls too. The gentleman held the door open for us as we had our hands full with our purchases too, which was such a lovely gesture to carry out. The sausage rolls and hot chocolates tasted devine. We will definitely be back. We were made to feel so very welcome, a lovely experience for sure. We will recommend this place to everyone we know.

friendly service excellent value salad bowl packed with variety and taste (good value), served with smiles. Delightful atmosphere, everything clean, shining- left feeling much enlivened!

Excellent and tasty vegetarian and organic dishes, along with some vegan and gluten free cakes. Vegetarian lasagne was superb and only 5.50. Small salads full of flavour only 5.00. Coffee under 3.00. Juices and smoothies at 5.00 but with great ingredients. Small pieces of cake could be more generous for 4.20 Overall this new venture is a great addition to Totnes high street. Great value. Recommended

How fabulous to find an exclusively plant-based cafe/restaurant that could feed us with deliciousness on arrival in Totnes in the late afternoon and again at lunchtime next day. They even do vegan breakfast so we were sorry to miss that!

Lovely fresh food at a reasonable price. Friendly helpful staff. Real cutlery which was a nice change from bamboo. Dog friendly but no loo (that wasn’t an intentional rhyme)

This is by far the best place in Totnes. The food, atmosphere everything about it is SUPERB. I cannot rate it highly enough. Go in and see for yourself. I adore this place

The most amazing little vegan cafe. I enjoyed an arancini plate with a really interesting mixed salad. I followed this with a piece of the most delicious lemon cake, so fab I forgot to take a phot until I’d had a fork full… oops! You must visit.

A friendly welcoming place, we came here twice for breakfast. Their smoothie bowl with granola and seeds is lovely as was the granola bowl with coconut yoghurt. Coffee is also good and I appreciated the little jug of warm oat milk for mine (as well as the chocolate hearts it came with on Valentines Day!) Croissants came with locally made jams and can recommend the Sea Buckthorn. Salads/snacks look inviting. Well worth a stop and particularly nice with the High Street currently shut to traffic.

Liked the look from outside so came in and got seduced by the chalk board and the plant based goodies in the display cabinets. Friendly, relaxed, helpful staff and tasty value stuff to go with hot and cold drinks. Will be back for a full lunch sometime soon.

It's odd to realise that this is our first all-vegan venue. Correct me if I am wrong! They have a delightful location, next to St Mary's Church, half way up the High St. An interesting menu and very reasonably priced. Very friendly service. I had Arancini, well only one, but I don't know the singular! And a small mixed salad. Delicious. The rice in the arancini was tasty but perhaps a bit claggy. I am going back this week to try some other things! Beware, they have no toilet (there's one nearby in the Market Place) and there's a step at the entrance.
