The times I have been to The Angel In Babbacombe I have had fantastic service . The cream teas are beautifully served. The scones are fresh and warm, the jams look home made. The leaf teas are a lovely old English touch.The sandwiches are thickly cut and filled to the brim. I have taken both my parents and parents in... More

The food is always enjoyable ( we have the cherubs tea every time ) However a lot could be said about the service they don't like you asking to move tables as they say they are booked but surely it doesn't matter if you move from one table to another just give your table to the people after you.They will...

Called in here while on a three day visit to the area and I must congratulate the owners for the high quality food. We had a mixed scone cream tea which included a ginger scone and wholemeal cheese scone, both coming with a selection of chutneys of amazing taste. Highly recommended. High quality real tea, served in china cups and... More

Lovely small tea room serving a range of teas and coffees along with scones, cakes etc. Accessible entrance for those with walking difficulties (no steps). Can eat inside or out, can get a little crowded but this is because its so popular. Would recommend.

We had been meaning to try this place for ages, but were put off by thinking we had to book. We went on the "off chance" today and managed to get a table. The waitress was very pleasant and efficient. I did begin to wonder what all the fuss was about when I saw the strange décor! Also it was... More

We have been regular visitors to Angels for many many years, but have never been acknowledged as such. Up until now this has not bothered me as the service, although not friendly has been good and the food excellent. On our visit about two weeks ago, I was given the wrong breakfast and had eaten nearly all my breakfast before... More

Visited May 2013, very busy but managed to bag a table thanks to the manager who allowed us to use one reserved on the promise we would vacate after 45 minutes or so, which was not a problem. One friend had what he said was the best bacon sandwich he'd ever had, the rest of us had their small cream... More
