The Teapot Cafe

Delicious cake and coffee, lovely friendly staff and genuinely dog friendly. We came late in the day and out of the rain to find this warm and friendly oasis. Will visit again when next in the area.

Nice and friendly cafe. Food was good, but could've been better with more care, but good value. Dogs welcomed inside and out.

A lovely cafe attached to Millers. We stopped for a fab lunch. I had a homemade potato and leek soup. Perfect on a rainy day!! It was good value for money overall.

Beautiful food with the most exceptional sausages served in a very quaint Farm Shop with garden centre.I was only in Axminster for four days and I went here twice for breakfast.They had a great selection of cakes so I can imagine going for tea and cake mid afternoon when I next return.The staff were extremely friendly and although they don't explicitly do table service I was able to order an extra coffee while I was still eating and pay when I finished.In winter I think they fire up the log burner which is centrally located inside the cafe.Lovely views out of the cafe window and a nice outdoor seating area in front.Accessibility was fantastic with the tables not being too close together so people with mobility scooters wheelchairs or push chairs can get in but there is a sign saying please keep the Isles clear so Park respectfully and use the space around your table to keep accessibility available to everyone.There are vegetarian options which I am assured are lovely but if you do eat meat those sausages are very very tasty.

Nice place to stop for tea and cake. There were plenty of drink choices and gluten free cake options.No sign of any accessible bathrooms but there were facilities for customers.There is a log burner type fire so I can imagine it’s a cozy setting in winter.It was very busy on a Saturday morning so we did have to wait for a free table but it was a nice atmosphere.

Met up with a friend over coffee and cakes. The service was good, and there was hardly any wait to order or for it to be brought to our table. The coffee was excellent, and the lemon drizzle cake and almond slice were very tasty and delicious. To top it off we sat outside on a beautiful sunny day, under a parasol. Perfect!

Had a baguette and jacket spud, ( me and the wife!) absolutely gorgeous! Staff lovely, full of local people, dog friendly, will be going there again every time I’m on my way to Cornwall!

Cozy place and delicious tea and cake/scones. Friendly staff.

Good fresh local ingredients friendly staff. It's a favourite spot for us to enjoy just a coffee or sample some of the tasty food on offer.

I feel bad giving so few stars, it's a lovely setting and has so much potential but was let down across the board:Service - on the menu it said to see the blackboard for the fillings for jacket potatoes, in fairness we didn't go and look extensively but also couldn't see anything obvious so instead I asked at the till. The young chap had to ask if they had cheese and beans as an option and how much each menu choice cost. By this time I had spotted the hand written menu with prices celotaped up behind the counter and it would have been quicker for me to tell him than watch him keep asking.I ordered a ploughmans, on the board it came with three options, cheese, ham, or pork pie. I chose cheese, on giving my order a woman popped out from the back and asked if I wanted brie or cheddar. It wouldn't be fair to say she was rude in any way, however she also didn't even crack a smile, a smile costs nothing and makes customers feel welcome and appreciated, it's a small courtesy that really makes a difference.When we finished our mains we ordered tea cake, our plates were not cleared prior to this and even when the waitress bought the cake and tea over she did not clear the table but instead squeezed the rest on.There were six other tables while we were there and no one had thier plates cleared.Food - the food was cheap and simple, baked potato cost £4.95, it was very much on the small side.As for the ploughmans, I love cheese, I eat more cheese than what could ever be considered healthy, cheese will almost certainly be the death of me, and even I couldn't eat that much! Two massive wedges of cheddar, which is awesome (I took one home in the end), but sadly the cheese to bread / salad ratio was well out. With a tiny bit of salad, three pickled onions and a small amount of crisps it was an unusual ploughmans to say the least.They would be better off halving the amount of cheese to one wedge and throwing in a bit of apple, some grapes and maybe a boiled egg. It would be more cost effective and at the sane time would upgrade it from a basic ploughmans to a more upmarket one.If they wanted to go one better they could then halve the cheddar again and do half a wedge of cheddar, and half a wedge of brie.The cake was a real disappointment, they had a beuno cake that was aesthetically impressive, three layers and beautifully decorated. However the only flavour of beuno was the single square of beuno bar I got on the top. The cake itself appeared to be a simple chocolate cake. I had expected the frosting to taste of beuno at least.The sponge was however light and airy so the cake in itself was a good one, it was just a shame it wasn't anything to do with the beuno!Finally the milkshakes, we had one chocolate and one banana, the chocolate was weak and the banana overpoweringly synthetic. They cost £2.50 each but were not worth the cost with cheap syrups and a bit of squirty cream.We were excited to go based on the pictures we had seen on social media but all in all the experience was a bit of a let down, but in saying that a few minor changes could make a massive difference and make this place something really special!
