There's…read moreoutdoor seating for when it's warm, though sadly because the doors are so big, when it's cold, it's colder indoors as well. This place is a licensed bar from 10am, so on a particularly warm and lazy Summer day it would be a great place to get a cold beer and relax. It has a straightforward and decently priced tea-room style menu of sandwiches, paninis, waffles, burger & chips, etc. to go with your tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and milkshake for the kids No real surprises, but it's clean and friendly and does the job nicely.

Lovely fair trade coffee and decent food at a reasonable price in a comfortable café…read more I have to say that I've had a couple of poor coffees at one of the other Boston Tea Party cafés, but the Barnstaple crew know how to make great coffee every time, and have a friendly bunch of baristas. Their menu offers a nice range of food that's always been fresh and tasty. Most of their menu seems to be sourced within the West Country, and they use free range eggs, organic milk, organic meats... On the whole, they're a great independent chain of cafés.

I'm not surprised that it has been recognized in an Independent article on the top 50 coffee shops in the UK.

This place down an alley near the main street is such a place to enjoy it. I had the bangers and mash and it was lovely. I can't remember having better! The smoothie washed it down very nicely too.
