Tea by the Quay

Lovely little cafe in town just around the corner from harbour.
Nice and cosy on a wet Friday afternoon for cream tea.
Great sandwiched,cakes ,and scones.
Very friendly staff and great value for money.
Will be back hopefully with better weather.

I was looking for somewhere to take my daughter for a cream tea, whilst on holiday. Was hoping to find a sweet, traditional style cafe as I think a cream tea deserves such a setting. We stumbled across Tea by the Quay and it was everything I was hoping for. We were waited on by a friendly waitress. The tea was served in a lovely old fashioned tea pot. The scone was served warm with a good amount of jam and cream and was reasonably priced. It was simply perfect!

A traditional tea room. Staff welcoming and attentive. Delicious light lunch, with generous portions. Will definitely go back for either cream tea or coffee and cake.

Really lovely local tea Room. Cream tea was fantastic,wife had cake and a hot chocolate which was also fantastic, great value for money, really nice

A lovely place to have a cream tea. A really pleasant cafe with the best scones. The tea is served in traditional cups and saucers along with warm scones, wth a ' just been baked ' taste. The menu choice looked fab but we only had cream teas.

Visited twice over the Easter weekend. Lovely inside nicely decorated, staff all very well presented too. Very clean, service excellent, polite, helpful & friendly staff. We had various things off the menu including homemade soup, cake, sandwiches & pot of tea served in pretty bone china pot & cups & saucers. Families with children & dog owners welcome. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing breakfast. Cooked to absolute perfection our new favourite cafe.
Love the fact that you can have a pot of tea made with loose tea, brought back so many lovely memories of my childhood and using a tea strainer lol

Called in whilst in the area, had a lovely cream tea for two from china tea pot.Traditional without being old fashioned and fussy. Scones were warm with generous cream and jam. Lady who served us was welcoming and friendly.Recomended and will be back when in the area.

Whilst visiting Teignmouth last week, we popped into this cosy tea room. The owner and staff were very friendly, pleasant and attentive. The service was excellent and the food was of very good quality. We will be returning and would definitely recommend a visit.

Lovely small cafe with friendly staff and excellent breakfast was great value.

Outstanding service and the English breakfast was soooo delicious!!
Highly recommend to go and sit outside (weather permitting of course☺)
Very friendly owners who take time to get to know their customers - A MUST - serene atmosphere!

We just had afternoon tea here and it was delicious! Lovely friendly owner and staff. Definitely looking forward to going again!! I recommend a visit!

First time to this tea room and would recommend this place. Lovely friendly serve from the owner of the tea room. And the breakfast was very nice. I’ll be back to try the cake. Thank you.

Went here for coffee this morning. Had lovely lemon drizzle cake and it was delicious. Ended up going back for lunch which didn't disappoint. Nice clean and fresh. Staff were lovely too. I'd like to say a huge thank you to the young lad who came chasing after us in the street as I left my water bottle behind. Great service. Highly recommended 😊😊

Lovely cafe, new owners who have re-named and re-furbished it. The decor is really nice, tasteful and festive. Cakes look amazing and scones are massive!
I had a toasted teacake done to perfection with a whole pot of butter, so generous😀 much better than a couple of portion sized.
Lovely big hot cup of coffee, great to have a large cup.
Owners come from Preston, Paignton where they had a cafe for 7 years. They try to cook everything on site and all looks wonderful.
Well worth a visit.
Covid restrictions in place😀

Family place, good food value for money

What a hidden gem. Myself, a friend and our 1 year olds were planning on a Sunday afternoon coffee and cake, but forgot our planned spot closed at 3pm. We wandered around the corner and spotted Tea by the Quay. It was 3pm and we weren't sure if we'd be welcome, but gosh were we! Greeted by a friendly waitress, we were shown the table we could have. We went to order, and had the hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows, a vanilla latte and 2 slices of the Victoria. Everything was delicious, especially the cake which was obviously made with love. I am so pleased we've found such a wonderful little place, we can't wait to return. It speaks volumes when 2 toddlers feel at ease in somewhere to eat.

Really excellent afternoon tea. Excellent cakes and cream tea. Very friendly staff. Very welcoming and professional.

What a gem. Found by recommendations and it lived up to them. Certainly a place to go.

We arrived just as they closed, the guy realised that we were looking for a cream tea and he pleasantly invited us to come in despite them having just closed. What great customer service! The cream tea tasted as fresh as if it had been the start of the day. I could type many superlatives about the food but lets just say it was amazing. Also dog friendly too - bonus!
