We ordered coffee cake and drinks for our party of 6, and spent £17. We asked for a small glass so we could decant our 4 yr old daughter's very large milkshake into a more manageable size, but were told that on no account could extra glasses be given out! Very petty and we won't bother coming back- read the... More

Think this place has changed hands recently. It is a bright, friendly cafe with the best apple pie and clotted cream I have had for a long time. Very helpful, enthusiastic staff and excellent coffee. I'll be calling in each time I'm in Sidmouth from now on. More

We ducked in to the Fort to escape gale force wind & rain and to warm up with a coffee. Service was prompt & the coffee itself was excellent. I noticed I'd missed the "breakfast special - served 'till 11:30" but was assured that it'd be no problem to rustle one up. A few minutes later, I was served a... More

We visited on a Sunday lunchtime having had an excellent experience there some time in May.What a disaster !There has been a change of ownership and the sooner it happens again the better. The place was empty apart from 3 people sat in the doorway talking across the entrance so we had to walk between them to enter-they didn`t even... More

I made the mistake of trying to drink my coffee (purchased there) on the sea wall, my partner not being allowed to eat his icecream cone (purchased there) on the cafe patio, we wanted to sit together. A very cross shout accross the road summoned me... More

Took our five year old daughter for lunch and ordered fish finger chips and beans, but I asked if the beans could be swapped for peas, but was told that the chef wouldn't change anything on the menu, so they reluctantly agreed to serve it without beans. To add insult to injury I asked for a portion of butter and... More

We visited this establishment for afternoon tea as we were researching establishments in the area. I was not impressed with the layout or attitude of the staff. Too many standing around and not looking busy. The tea was terrible standard, definitely not home made scones as these must have been bought from a processed establishment and probably frozen and defrosted,as... More

The location and excellent quality of food makes this cafe well worth a visit, just sit outside and enjoy the best view in Sidmouth. A must if you are in the area, just sit back and relax. More
