Trudy Scrumptious Cafe

Went today with my lactose intolerant daughter, it was really good to see more than one flavour of dairy free ice and they were delicious! My daughter had the chocolate with blue millions and as an added bonus and extra cone as the first one broke and I had the St Clements sorbet which was delicious!

Had a lovely chat with the owner and felt like she genuinely took an interest in us.

Highly recommended and will definitely go again

Really lovely little outlet. The lady serving was so sweet. Although they don't list milkshakes she made my 13 year old son one anyway. My cappuccino was lovely and hot and my 18 month old granddaughter is loving her strawberries and cream ice cream. Very fairly priced, will definitely return

Great range of options. I have a dairy allergy so often have issues if I want to have an ice cream with my family. I had at least 3 options which was great. Reasonably priced and the staff were so friendly. Thank you. 😊

Such a perfect after school treat! The ice cream flavours are so interesting. Jan donut is a favourite. Well worth waiting for while kids play in the play park. Love that they take card!

A great little cabin, chips, ice creams, coffee, tea and cold drinks. Been going here since I was a child and taken my son and now my grandchildren. It even has seats outside and sells sweeties and duck food too!

An an awesome part of Tavistock meadows. They have a great menu and with plenty of options for vegans too. My 6 year old was beyond thrilled with her ice-cream sundae!

Fantastic service and food, it was Mothers Day and the young lady was on her own, she was working incredibly hard and efficiently, she was polite and happy, she gave us our food and drinks and was top class. Thank you.

Great range, especially for a small place. Didn't have to wait long for our tasty hot food and the staff were super friendly and professional.

Brilliant Ice Cream, the mint is to die for!
Great service and friendly staff. Highly recommended!

Tasty

A good little place in the park. No shelter from weather though!

5/5 coffee, 3/5 service. Would recommend.

Very long wait as the 1 person serving seemed to be unable to do more than 1 thing at a time.
When I did reach the front of the queue they didn’t have what I asked for, and my second was also not available - despite both being shown on the displayed menu…annoying but more so given the apparent uncaring attitude of the person serving.
It would have been much quicker (& I would have received what I requested) if I’d gone into the pannier market (5 mins walk).
EDIT/UPDATE - in view of a prompt apology to this review by the owner I have increased it to 3* & will be happy to try it again. I think the fact that I’d cycled from Plymouth & waited for ages in the cold did not help my mindset at the time.
The account of my experience remains the same though.
(Thank you for offering the voucher, it won’t be necessary) but I will be back, previous experience here has been favourable 👍

Ice cream delicious. Staff not using gloves. Handling money and touching cornets . 5 star hygiene rating???????

My coffee was bad.
Nice people but don't seem to know the difference between a flat white and latte. Perhaps I was unlucky.

Went yesterday after a swim 4 coffees all Luke warm, 2 bacon toasties squeezed so flat not nice also told twice they had no butter, chips ? Cheese just sprinkled not melted and curly fries £27 I defo will not be doing that again rubbish food over priced very expensive day out for us.

DISAPPOINTED 😞
VERY poor standard of food. £1.50 for barely any cheese on chips. Toasties was cold and not even toasted with little to none filling. never going again plus the wait for our order was ridiculous especially as other people had to have there food re done as they complained. DO NOT GO

Very very slow service. The queue wasn't long but we still had to wait 25 minutes to be served (our 4 year old really wanted an ice cream). And that's with people walking away as they were fed up with waiting. Very inefficient way of working with someone standing watching toasties while the other didn't think ahead to get some more orders in. I think the owner would be shocked to see the number of people walking away and the loss of business.
If the place is empty you'll be fine but if more than one food order has gone in ahead of you just forget it and find somewhere else.

Not impressed with the poor attitude of one of the staff members.

Visited yesterday with my 4 year old and asked “does your ice cream have egg in it? My daughter has a life threatening allergy to it so I need to find out”.

The male server shrugged and said “I don’t think so”. Then proceeded to just stand leaning against the counter.

I asked “could you check then please?”. A lady (who I’m assuming is the manager/owner) came over and asked what was wrong and I repeated the above.

She then checked the list and said “yes they all do contain egg in apart from the sorbet”.

I’m just glad I didn’t take this man’s word for it as my daughter would have gone into anaphylactic shock and ended up in hospital 😡
