Sandbanks Cafe in North Devon

Oh my where do I begin! I would avoid this place at all costs! Guy behind the bar was rude not very welcoming at all.. the beer dribbled out the pumps .. coke from a can which was warm no ice.. seating uncomfortable, dust everywhere, we waited 30 mins for our food for it to be overcooked.. and a couple who arrived after us got their food before us.. there was people on another table who didn't finish their food and couldn't leave the pub quick enough either .. says it all ...

Lovely atmosphere and great customer service. All the staff were friendly, polite and attentive. Tables were cleared and cleaned promptly and everywhere was clean. Very nice coffee and delicious Crunchie milkshake - just wish I lived closer to go back and sample the other flavours and try the food.

This is a great place for a coffee or something to eat when waiting for a train or shopping in the area. I meet friends here once a month and have never been disappointed. The full vegetarian breakfast is excellent. Don’t go to Costa, come here instead!

Always go to Dollys when in Ilfracombe. Always been a nice place to eat. However this time asked to swap toast to a hash brown due to a food intolerance and were told no but we could pay for two hash browns. When the 4 breakfasts arrived they all had 2 hash browns added. Our breakfasts were £8.95 each totalling £35.80 we had 1 orange juice, 2 teas and a hot chocolate. Our bill came to £53.70. Goodness knows how much they charged us for 8 hash browns even though we only ordered 2. We have decided not to go back there again as it was a rip off for what we had.

Polite, friendly & helpful staff, nothing is too much trouble - this Costa is the best in the area
