After a family day trip to Dawlish today and just happening upon the strand cafe with 3 hungry children and 2 tired adults, we were so happy with several things
1. The welcome..we dread walking in with our kids to any food establishment bar McDonald's. We were greeted so warmly, the tables were arranged quickly as to accomdate us all in a busy lunch time without an ounce of it being any trouble.
2. My 2 year old as all kids do didn't want to sit in the high chair and wait so I was showing him things around the room when a lady approached and in my head I'm thinking oh gosh we are in the way as usual..but no she smiles and interacts with my youngest and then shows us the children's bit filled with books..well he was straight in the chair and occupied until the food arrived, which wasn't long at all. Always appreciate a quick serving when with the kids!
3. We all ate! The kids ate everything!and helped there selves to some of ours!
4. Kids were given the choice out of a run of sweets before leaving! (They even asked permission first out of ear shot of them!)
So if you're out in Dawlish I would highly recommend this place. Plus if the sun was out we probably would have sat outside as there's a lovely patio area. Thank you for making our lunch that little bit easier today!
Walked past The Strand Cafe today, and noticed dogs were welcome so went in with my family and obviously my dog.
Tells you on the wall where they get their produce from �
Chilli cheesy scones were amazing!! My Mum said it was the best cup of tea she’s had for ages! Lemon drizzle cake was also amazing! Plus a member of staff came over and asked if my dog was allowed a treat- it’s things like that that makes me want to visit again! Lovely friendly staff, well done The strand cafe!!
Our first go to cafe when our friends visit from Little Canfield, they even ask to go back there. Great value, great breakfast. We popped in for tea & cake bank holiday weekend tried the Humming Bird cake it was amazing. John & Tracey are always very welcoming and all staff very friendly & helpful, nothing is too much trouble at Strand Cafe.
Must say l moved to Dawlish with myou little dog and foundo this lovely cafe which serves best breakfast in dawlish and very dog friendly and staff all lovely. I go at least twice a week and always take friends there. Tried there other food and just as good. A must if you are in dawlish. Keep up the good work.
lovely cafe, excellent and very friendly staff, took our dog here yesterday, he was made so welcome, the food is delicious, the jacket potatoe was one of the best i have ever had, piles of tuna ad beans, my husband really enjoyed the all day breakfast, would recommend it to anyone, hope to become regulars here in the not too distant future, thank you everyone for making us feel so welcome xxx
Fantastic cafe with very friendly staff the cakes are excellent well worth going to had a lovely time with my mum yesterday
Excellent friendly service food hot and tasty. Really good value for money. I would recommend piping in and the cakes look positively wicked.
Had a lovely cheesy chill tea was told up to 40mins for our food but was served within 20mins , staff friendly and helpful highly recommended for a cream tea as well
The Strand is the nicest, friendliest cafe I think I have ever had the pleasure of eating at. We came up from Plymouth for a football match our daughter was playing in.
Can wholeheartedly recommend.
Exceptional service, very polite and courteous staff, excellent food and lovely atmosphere.... first visit here, will return when next in the area ��
Enjoyed a fabulous full English breakfast yesterday. Quality products used, well cooked and plentiful! Friendly welcome. Staff could not do enough for you. Definitely will be back Thank you.
Excellent service, great food and friendly staff. What More could you ask for?!
An amazing lunch here today, lovely friendly staff, great quality food, particularly the homemade Bakewell Tart, just amazing. Thank you to everyone at The Strand Cafe.
Would recommend to everyone!!!
Just spent week in Dawlish. Great cafe wonderful food and very friendly staff . Nothing to much trouble.
Would highly recommend
Very nice cafe very friendly staff and food is amazingly yummy
Excellent cafe on the Strand here in Dawlish great breakfasts as well including vegetarian
The Strand cafe is the most friendly cafe I have ever been to. The staff are wonderful and very attentive. The food is delicious and well presented. A great place to go.
Our family were looking for some breakfast before our trip to the beach. Open, welcoming and very friendly. We were welcomed into John's, by the man himself. The service was nothing but excellent. Food was very quick to arrive, and to say hit the spot would be an understatement. Only serving local produce, noted by the board on the wall.
The food was very delicious, and wasn't greasy at all. A perfect English breakfast experience .
Highly recommended.
6 stars if I could.
I'm genuinely awkward and pedantic, about most things, but there's nothing I'd have said could be improved about the breakfast at John's. Thoroughly recommend and we'll be returning.
Great food, perfect sized portions, tomatoes in separate pot. Delicious hash browns and mushrooms. Will come back to Dawlish to eat here. Lovely atmosphere, very clean. Great staff, very friendly. Excellent all round thank you.
Still the only place to have lunch when visiting Dawlish! Well priced quality for, cooked fresh rather than pre-prepared and microwaved. Friendly staff, and both indoor and outdoor seating make this an all-round place to eat. Can be busy around lunchtime, so plan accordingly - although the wait is never that long
After walking up and down trying to find somewhere to eat, we settled at John's, and I am so glad we did.
We sat outside watching the world go by, and it was very relaxing.
The food was beautiful and you get so much of it!!
My father in law ordered the chicken club sandwich and could only manage half of it. Luckily, my husband (the human dustbin) managed to finish it off for him.
We would definitely go back and would highly recommend it to anyone
Myself a 5 friends visited John's yesterday morning for breakfast before we left our holiday in Dawlish.
By far the most amazing customer service from all the staff, very friendly, attentive and made sure we were comfortable.
The food 10/10 we all ordered breakfast and it came out freshly cooked, tasted amazing and filled us all up.
We are due a holiday to Dawlish again next year and we all said we'd definitely come back to John's for our leaving breakfast again.
Highly recommended for the service and food. Thank you to John and the team!
UPDATE!
We returned a year later and the same as above only we witnessed a dog give birth to a pup. Was quite spectacular!!
Lovely breakfast and we were looked after well by hard working friendly staff.
What a lovely place, popped in for a snack whilst im Dawlish. Atmosphere was great, the owner served us personally. The staff were very polite and helpful and the food was freshly cooked and awesome. If your in Dawlish and your peckish, or just want a drink, then this is the place to go.
Great, friendly, welcoming and warm cafe. Good range of snacks, main meals. Hot and cold drinks. Staff is very helpful towards every ability. They treat everyone as an Equal. A great atmosphere where we can all talk to each other. Located in a good area on the high street.Easy to find.
My friends and I called into John's Cafe today and I was so impressed I have to leave a review. Very friendly and helpful staff where nothing was too much trouble. Excellent food. Will definitely go back again.
Very friendly staff. Food is well priced, not at all greasy, locally sourced and portion sizes are good We visited following a recommendation and we are so pleased that we did! Highly recommended!!
This is a gen of a place on the Dawlish Strand. Overlooking the green we chose to sit outside, although inside is nice and cozy with clean facilities. We ordered two breakfast and a sausage and egg roll along with coffees. The food arrived quickly, piping hot and was excellent. The quality is good, well cooked and a perfect portion size for the breakfast, and the roll was soft, the sausage tasty and the egg perfectly cooked.
Overall and excellent cafe with lovely staff and a great location on the Strand. Will be back very soon
Best full English breakfast ive ever had everything cooked perfect. Not over cooked and greasy like some places do. The sausage were amazing. Staff very friendly. Would highly recommend it
Lovely food had the mini breakfast which was great but could have done with some beans on it.would definitely go there again.
Very friendly staff all food cooked fresh so all hot and tasty. Breakfasts are worth the money really good.
The future wife and myself arrived for breakfast and we were met with big smiles and told we could sit wherever we liked.
We opted for the large breakfast and O'boy it was huge, couldn't finish it but possibly the best breakfast in dawlish.
Looking forward to our return visit.
Nice little cafe with friendly and helpful staff; I only went in for a cuppa and not food but they had some great looking cakes on display and they do hot meals
One of the best breakfasts we have had. All local produce and good price. Well worth a visit. We found out about this gem by googling breakfast in Dawlish, and we wasn’t let down
