Add some locally sourced organic food, and a proprietor that caters for dietary requirements AND an art gallery and you'll get close to Annie's Tea Rooms. Probably the best Banoffee Pie I've ever tasted, not to mention the salmon and pasta; oh and the ice cream. This a place where you can wake up and smell the coffee and STILL be in the same place!

The scones are all freshly baked, and served with fresh clotted cream and jam. The cakes are all freshly baked and a dream.

We can't wait to come back! A must-experience piece of Devon!

It had a lovely cozy feel with plush velvet seating and charming small tables. The service was nice. The guy who took care of us was also manning the bar. He was busy, but made sure to take care of us well. The tea service was very good. We picked our tea from the list and had a pot steeping while our sandwiches and pastries were being made. The sandwiches and pastries were lovely. A proper afternoon tea in the UK!

It was the pebbledash equivalent of finding an oasis in the dessert, a quaint but spacious tearoom offering a wide range of teas, coffees, ice-creams and lunches. As we sat there sipping our perfectly foamed lattes and having a chat with the owners we felt quite excited to have discovered this place that had remained unknown to us until we had stumbled upon it. The melodic, baritone voice of Johnny Cash made its way from the juke box into the corner and combined with the vintage decor gave us a sense of nostalgia. We decided to make a 'thing' of it and ordered some food, which arrived quickly and needless to say was a generous portion. I had noted that the kitchen appeared to be quite small and for two sizeable meals complete with a decorative garnish and all of the sides to come from it must have been quite a chore. I know I would have struggled. The steak was cooked to perfection, I'm not that well educated in steak, I think medium rare is my favorite, I don't really know. All I know is that this one was lovely and I did observe a couple (who had also ordered steaks, in fact the chap had TWO!) taking photos of their meals to send to their friends. When it comes to eating out I am quite a skinflint, it's more often a case of limited funds but if I had the choice of The Harvester or a fancy-dancy restaurant I would probably go with the former unless someone else was paying. Like I said, I'm not a pro when it comes to steaks but I tend to avoid ordering them because I find that they can be hit or miss depending on the chef's idea of what medium-rare is. I know that if I go to The Harvester I'm going to order the BBQ ribs before I even get hold of a menu because they're delicious every time. If I went to a restaurant where I'd need a small mortgage for a started then I'd be doubly disappointed if the meal wasn't up to standard. Anyway, back on track - In conclusion we found Memory Lane to be very enjoyable, the staff were lovely, the setting was lovely. Great food and inarguably good prices. The only issue that I could see (although it didn't affect me) was that they did not serve alcohol. The staff did point out that there is a shop directly opposite where you can buy drink to have with your meal. They did say that they are looking to start doing alcoholic drinks, so perhaps that's sorted now.

Best tea service ever! The price was decent and the food was yummy. I have to admit their cake was…read moredry but their scones were delicious. The service was very slow and it seemed like they needed some more more employees but it is what it is. I would go back a million times! I love the ambience and the lighting was wonderful.

They serve different cakes through the week, which helps you find something different to taste with your drink when you go back there. But the best reason to visit the place is the food: Stuart and Dorothy are working hard to give you a delicious meal for a very reasonnable price. With dishes inspired from traditional french meals and a twist of welsh cooking, this is a very good place to eat lunch. Just be sure to check their Facebook page or their website to know what the day specials are - coq au vin, beef bourguinon, pâté en croute, tartiflette - all homemade! They also offer a special "Sunday lunch" which is halfway between the traditionnal Sunday roast and the french pot-au-feu. There's plenty to eat and it's really good food. The place is quite small but the music (french, of course!) and the decor, are really nice - I was really impressed by the chandeliers! If you go to Cardiff and visit the Albany Road area, this place is definitely worth a try.

Even though I'm a smoker, my taste buds are pretty sensitive. I can taste impurities in the water used to make tea, and I can also taste the paper if a tea bag is used. So, this is my kind of place, and sadly a lot rarer these days. Being a family business, there's the attention to detail that you'd expect; the service is great, the homemade food is a cut above the rest, and the cake... ah the cake... well, the cake is out of this world! And there's gluten free, veggie and vegan options... that's consideration for you! The gift shop and traditional sweet shop is a bit like taking a trip down memory lane... when I was a little girl they used to sell sweets in jars all lined up on shelves, one after the other... just like they do here. Lovely! Check out the traditional Victorian style toys, with wonderful wind-up mechanisms... marvelous!

In addition to sweets from a bygone age this shop also sells handmade chocolates (though not nearly enough in my opinion), and I would particularly recommend the white chocolate and hazelnut butterflies which are truly divine A small café has recently opened at the back of the store, where you can have handmade paninis, sandwiches, toasties or even one of their fabulous cakes. I really like the black and floral wallpaper in the café and the pink fairy lights, which come across as trendy rather than tacky. If you're trying to be good or are not in the mood for food, there is also a small card and gift selection. They sell some very witty tea coasters and magnets (think naughty 1950s housewives), and even the jewellery has a confectionary theme (I absolutely love the iced ring biscuit and cupcake necklaces). Though the selection here is small, the cards available are incredibly unique and in a word, fabulous! My favourites were definitely the ones which spoofed popular fairytales. There is certainly a lot going on in this place, but rather than detract, this just adds to the cool, quirky nature of this sweet store, come café, come gift shop, which is without a doubt worth a visit!

Unfortunately, the one thing that I always remember about this place is that they forgot my…read moremarshmallows. I paid extra for marshmallows, and when my hot chocolate came it was without the little mountain of tiny marshmallows I was expecting. I was still fairly new to Cardiff at the time, and a little shy, so I sat quietly and hoped that perhaps they had sunk to the bottom and I'd find them as I started drinking. Sadly, however, no marshmallows were to be found, and then it was too late to do anything about it. This aside, Waterloo Gardens Teahouse is a lovely little shop, in the quiet area of Penylan with a nice selection of drinks and cakes, and comfy sofas. The coffee is fair-trade, there is a wide variety of tea, and they change the art on the walls regularly, exhibiting a different artist each month, which is a nice touch. Just make sure they give you the marshmallows you're paying for.

The best parts are the toasted fruit loaf, and the toasted sandwiches, the downfall is the soup is not hot enough and always needs a little salt and pepper, the prices are way too high and is not opened Sunday. which to me is silly as this is a heritage town with views of the castle opposite yet they close on a busy Sunday. I think the prices need to come down slightly, and more people will go in, but with greggs opening up next door and taking a majority of the rolls pasties and hot take away drinks off them I can see them starting to struggle.
