The Hutong Cafe - Plymouth

Reviewed Hutong several years ago. Same story with the coffee, its nice coffee but small cup sizes ,you will get more quantity of a similar standard for your money elsewhere . Had a well filled Bagel the fillings were good but the bread itself rather ordinary. Staff and service friendly and efficient . Only came due to the strange people flapping the hype

I came here before and had the absolute best experience. So with the massive hype I created about it I visited today with my partner about to introduce him to the amazing Hutong. Left fuming. We came for the salt beef bagel and hash browns, sorry there is no salt beef or hash browns and only standard bagels….. right. But ok I can cope with that so we ordered two standard bagel bacon, eggs and cheese. High hopes as obv the experience before was insane. The iced coffee we ordered was immense. No issues there. But the bagel the bagel absolutely made me flip a lid. I didn’t flip a lid but inside I was fuming. I’m on a bit of a diet and so I was annoyed that I had received this inadequate stale bagel filled with what can only be described as stringy bacon fat and I’m pretty sure the only bit of cheese and tomato sauce that they put in it was seeping out of the hole in the middle. So I consumed a ton of calories when I’d have been happier I think consuming that same amount of calories as part of a McDonald’s breakfast. I was going to say something and refuse to eat it and get a refund but I was too angry by this point that I couldn’t talk through the fire breathing I was doing. So…. If salt beef and hash browns are on the menu, by all means spend your money, but if not, and you don’t go much on salmon or meatless options then just save yourself the hassle and drive to McDonald’s before 11am.

Best coffee in Plymouth by a long way! Small place, usually busy, but fast turnover and great service. Sit in if you can get a table or stool, or across the cobbled roadway in the sun. Nice snacks too. Visiting RW Yard or Admiralty Cottages this was our go-to for flat whites and cinos. 6 out 5.

Popped in and ended up staying for ages. Amazing bagels (I'm talking involuntary noises leaving my mouth as I took a bite! and attentive and friendly staff. Highly recommended. Good choices, lovely coffee, clean and tidy. Will most definitely go back soon.

We popped in for a coffee and were seduced by the bagel options, so glad we were as they are outstanding. Great coffee also, all served extremely promptly.
