Beech Cafe - West Devon

Came in Sunday 23/02/2020 And ordered a latte and hot choc, was very quite so expected quick service. A gent came in a few minutes after and ordered a white coffee and bacon roll after us! It looked as if she started making the drinks and doing the bacon roll...we waited a while to then see she made the gent who came after us his bacon roll and coffee before ours, we questioned it but shook it off. The lady then came over with my latte then told us there was no more hot chocolate...so we ordered a tea cake (same price £2.50) to save on the hassle... She then made and brought over the tea cake, and we looked up and hot chocolate powder was on the shelf behind her, we had a giggle at her poor look. She must of noticed because she gave them a shake and left the tubs on the shelf meaning it contained hot choc

We ordered two cappuccinos, but they tasted more like espresso with extremely hot milk added. It seemed like the staff may not have been properly trained. In comparison to two other coffee shops I frequent, one in Launceston and the other in Wadebridge, which I would rate 10/10, I would probably give Beech Cafe a rating of 1/10. Additionally, the cafe was busy and we waited around 20 to 25 minutes for the "cappuccinos" to be served.

Typically a fantastic experience, but sadly today was very disappointing. Service was slow and the bacon rolls were extremely hard, not crispy as expected. Even though they were only £3, they should still be enjoyable. Drinks didn't arrive until after the rolls, despite there only being 4 other customers seated.

While passing through on my way to Tavistock, I decided to stop in for a coffee and a light snack at this restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised by the selection offered. Despite its small appearance from the outside, they had a variety of options including sandwiches, soups, cream teas, and bacon rolls. I opted for the bacon, brie, and cranberry sandwich, which was absolutely delicious. I had it toasted, which made the brie creamy and the sandwich was generously sized. It also came with a side salad and crisps, all for a very reasonable price. I will definitely be returning in the future.

After a fantastic ride with 6 adults and 9 children aged 2-8 years old, we had drinks and snacks at this cafe. The staff were helpful and the peanut butter and chocolate brownie was so good!
