They have amazing freshly baked cakes & scones with their own clotted cream, a great tea selection (teapigs & devonshire black tea) and their savory sandwiches/light options are also pretty good and reasonably priced (especially the full English breakfast). To finish it of the staff are super friendly and they always make you feel welcome! if the weather permits make sure you also check the back garden.

This quaint little establishment is a great place to stop by for lunch or just some tea. While some…read moremay describe the interior as cramped, I found it to be cozy. The menu offers a variety of breakfast foods, soups, salads, sandwiches, and of course, teas. I went with a chicken & bacon panino, which turned out to be a perfect choice for lunch. Not only that, but we walked out for less than £15 for two lunches. Overall, a great, inexpensive place to eat. Be sure to stop in for some tea and a sandwich and get out of the rain for a while. We did and we'd be happy to do so again!

Let's start with what Angels gets right: Scones are baked relatively short and are delicious…read more There's a nice pot of real tea (not tea bags) with every cream tea, and there's loads of cream teas on the generous menu, which is stocked with other goodies too, such as full English breakfasts, cinnamon toast, crumpets, cake, coffee, fruit juice etc. There really is a great choice of treats. On the other hand, if you choose to sit outside on a hot day and you happen to be terrified of bees and wasps, this may not be the best place to visit. The good news is that you can sit inside, too, and surround yourself with very English decor in what can best be described as a cut-price tea room (the wearing of a dinner jacket isn't required). However, the price of some hot breakfast items were inexplicably through the roof (in other words, relatively expensive). Choose carefully, and ask one of your friendly, flexible waiters if you're not too sure about something.

Lovely and warm, with various different jams. The coffee is good as I am not a tea drinker, but my husband is, and it was fresh leaves, not tea bags, in a proper china cup!! The outside garden could do with a little clean up though, so we can admire the view whilst having tea and cake!! Oh I do sound like a yuppie!! Everything in the place has something to do with Angels, hence the name. Would I go back???? If I was in the area, I would definately go back, but I wouldn't do a special trip from Guildford, just to live the yuppie lifestyle. Lol. Well done though, and keep up the high food standards!!

The blend of Earl Grey was very refreshing and the home made carrot cake and lemon sponge pudding (both with yummy Devon clotted cream!) were to die for. For mains we ate locally caught crab sandwiches and a jacket potato with tuna mayonnaise - both hearty, filling dishes giving us plenty of energy for the journey home. The decor is slightly bizarre, featuring old cameras and pictures of geese, and when it was only my friend and I in the cafe one felt as though one had to speak rather quietly for fear of disturbing the calm atmosphere! However this was a delightful tea rooms with generous, reasonably priced, and delicious fare on offer. The service was excellent and very friendly and I would certainly go back to try their award winning soup!

The scones arrived before the tea, and I had time to cut and put jam and cream on 2 scones before it arrived. No apology, just some muttering about bagging their own teabags taking time. Cream tea was excellent, homemade scones with plenty of jam, cream and strawberrys. Would visit again but on a quieter day.

Greys is…read moresituated in a higgledy piggledy old building at the top of Totnes High Street, so it provids a fitting reward after a day of uphill shopping if you are visiting Totnes. If you are a cake fan (aren't we all?) you won't be able to walk past without gasping at the cakes in the window. Now that you've stopped, you may as well surrender and go in. (That's if you are lucky enough to find a table!) Greys bread and butter, so to speak, is tea and cakes. A ridiculously large choice of teas is available, although of course they will offer coffee and soft drinks too. The cakes - well - how does a cream tea made with chocolate scones sound? That's right - excessive - just as cakes should be. Definitely recommended!

There were no customers and they were already cleaning up and shutting down for the night when I asked if they'd be ok with seating me for a cream tea. Everything in town was closed, I was half frozen solid and still waiting for a bus. They thankfully obliged. Their tea itself was pretty standard, but the devonshire cream was amazing. The gooey-est and freshest of any devon creams i had sampled in England. They say they get it from a near by farm. I would make a trip to Princetown just for that cream tea again.

This puts many off who wander off to return later or settle for lesser venues, but we found that waiting just few minutes meant a table came up as diners squeezed up to let us in. The food is ordered and paid for at the counter and then brought out to you. The cinnamon toast is a speciality that you should have anyway and a great apitiser for the full English breakfast. All the ingredients are top quality; the sausage is a really tasty Lincolnshire, the eggs and tomatoes were perfectly done and the toast was a selection of freshly cut White and granary. The place oozes character. All in all, the perfect way to start the day before exploring the wonderful Dartmouth.
