A warm welcome and delicious food. The soup I had was one of the best ever. Much more spacious upstairs, but we had a pram with us, so we couldn’t go upstairs. However, everyone was very helpful for accommodating the pram downstairs. Very dog friendly....Very friendly staff.More

I often drop in here for coffee and there is always a friendly welcome and they serve great coffee. No hesitation in recommending this cafe and their tomato and red pepper soup is delicious.

Tucked away behind the church is this lovely cafe with the friendliest staff. It's kept lovely and clean with a nice area outside and two levels inside. I had the Full English and the Wife had Poached Egg and Bacon both excellent with a nice...pot of tea. A nice relaxed atmosphere with attentive staff. Worth finding down the little ally.More

Knowing from a previous visit, this venue was excellent. Stopped for full English breakfast this morning. They always welcome dogs. All the staff so lovely, chatty, yet on the ball, as a busy place. The breakfasts were fantastic, top quality ingredients and delicious. Proper coffee...too. A really cosy, friendly venue, with as I heard again, regulars a plenty. Thank you to all the wonderful staff who served us today.More

As a family, we visited this cafe on Sunday for a morning coffee and cake. Great drinks and cake selection which we all enjoyed, even my two young grandchildren. Little did I realise at the time that my purse had fallen out of my bag....I discovered 24 hours later that I had lost this purse, containing all cash, cards, driving licence etc! We called the cafe who had found it and were looking after it for me. They tried to find my name and number in order to contact me. I felt so relieved. So a big thank you to you all at Cafe Liaison and look forward to visiting the cafe next time we are in the area.More

We were en route to Cornwall and had a delightful detour through the middle of Dartmoor and onwards via Tavistock. We stumbled across Cafe Liaison and loved it. Didn’t realise that Cream Teas were invented in Tavistock in the eleventh century. So, I had to...break normal habits and put the cream on before the jam. Clean, great and friendly service. We will be back!More

Went here for the first time today, we've tried a few breakfasts in different places but this was by far the best breakfast we have had. You could tell the ingredient's were of good quality, none of that frozen rubbish. Absolutely amazing 10/10!!!. Bit more...expensive than most places for a breakfast but 100% worth it. You get what you pay for.More

We were in Tavistock to see a show at the Town Hall, travelling from Sidmouth and needing a hot drink on arrival, we saw the cafe and asked if they were still serving. They were actually closing 15 minutes after our arrival, but we were...welcomed and had our hot drinks and offered a choice of seats. There were customers still there and all treated cheerfully with no hint of being hurried. Downstairs is lovely and upstairs also very nice with sofa's and a nice view of the church and the town. Next time we will come along earlier and try their delicious looking teas and other food.More
