the home kitchen in Teignbridge

Lovely little cafe for everyone. Nice to eat GF with confidence. Box of fresh doughnuts was a really bonus!

Good food good staff came back several times to ask if everything was alright don't do fish and chips which I thought was odd

We travel from Totnes to this Gluten Free Cafe several times a week, because I know I'm safe to eat there for my Gluten Free Dietary requirements. Today, a family came in with a toddler, and got upset with the owner for telling the family they couldn't bring their own food in for the toddler. They'd taken out a sandwich for the child, they couldn't understand why the owner said, "sorry you can't bring your food in here it's a Gluten Free Cafe there's a notice in the window stating clearly you can't bring in your own food, we cannot have cross contamination with none gluten free foods here it puts people at risk of reaction". They moaned at the owner and left in a huff. I'd like to thank Mark and all of his staff for providing such a great service and safe foods for gluten-free sufferers like myself, thank you for protecting me today Mark, and shame on that clueless family!

Dawlish is well worth a visit, and if you're peckish mid-day, we highly recommend Home Kitchen. Very nice food at a reasonable price.

Lovely place to go ,good food and friendly people,well worth a visit.Jacket potatoes were good and my friends had the big burger and chips ,the chip were lovely not fatty

A lovely warm and friendly restaurant with excellent food and very attentive staff. A very enjoyable experience on a rather miserable day.

this was a lovely little find for me and my partner! the staff were incredibly attentive and took all allergies with extreme care! looking at other reviews of price and quality i’d say it was worth the money for a little cafe by the sea! would definitely visit if we’re in the area again!

Took my partner for spot of lunch being local residents. Chose this place as its gluten free. My partner had ham and it was cheap thin supermarket type. Microwaved poached eggs which were a let down as they looked and tasted rubbery. Not fresh. Home kitchen suggests home from home fresh food. Chef came out of kitchen coughing to chat to waitresses. Then stepped outside the front of the shop and lit a cigarette. Shock horror! No washing of hands proceeded to cut up cake for dessert. Unbelievable lack of hygiene. Won't return. Our bill was extortionate for quality of food given. No receipt to show prices. Not happy customers.

The place to go for food, coffee , breakfast.. lovely family run business, always good for a meeting place

Great place for GF. We had the amazing Toblerone cheesecake

So after reading many reviews of this place and the difficulty of finding places to eat that supported gluten & dairy free. I had high hopes...maybe too high. Being a local I was hoping this place might become a regular. The good..welcoming friendly staff who are very attentive. Tables clean and sticky free! Good choices available. I had ham egg and chips which tasted fine but for the price poor quality. The bad..2 slices of packet ham. Chunky chips cooked in oil which needs changing as too dark. 2 poached eggs which were possibly judging by the shape microwaved were too firm. As I said it tasted nice but for the price I expected home cooked carved ham and proper yolky poached eggs. My friend had a lasagne which came with few chips and side salad. Again for price could of done with more chips. We had a cup of tea each and 2 pieces of cake for dessert. Nice I had the option of gluten & dairy free cake. Unfortunately where it has been standing in unit. The piece I was given was dry and a slim piece. It would of been nice if the 1st bit was cut off as not really nice to give a customer a dry end? The ugly..went up to pay to be told it was just under £42???. Packet ham. Microwave eggs. A chef with a cough. Poor hygiene no uniform.Small portions. And no receipt given. I now read other reviews who say gluten free cake was £6.50?? Extortionate!..we would not of bought if we new it was that price. Also being called Home Kitchen we expected home cooked foods. Not prepackaged...We enjoyed our food but far from expectations sadly won't return.

Always have a meal here while visiting Dawlish. You will enjoy this cafe. Cater for all tastes. This includes Gluten free when requested.

Chocolate milkshake was just yazoo lol, food was mid and overpriced

Absolutely amazing place to have food, they did gluten free which was helpful for my daughter, and they were all polite. The breakfast me and my partner had was amazing all cooked to order. The staff were all very friendly and polite when they e come to visit will definitely be back.

Went for a full English breakfast, tasted great, perfect amount of food 👍 great service

I was recommended to go into home kitchen for a gluten free cake, which they did have. I asked for a slice of the chocolate cake which wasn’t priced. I didn’t think to ask the price, I then went to the till at which point the cake was cut and already boxed, it cost me £6.50!!!!! Absolutely disgusting to charge £6.50 for a slice of cake. I should had said no thank you there and then but felt embarrassed to turn around and say no thank you. If this cafe is going to sell a slice of cake at £6.50 they should have it priced. I felt robbed! I will not be going there again.

Went expecting good things after reading the reviews and we were all disappointed. The lettuce was brown, starting to rot, and should not have been served. The chicken was dry and tasteless. The portions were small for the price. Nobody came to ask how the food was or cleared our table. Customer service is really important, guys!

My wife all of a sudden had a gluten intolerance this past year. When we booked our holiday she was worried about not being able to enjoy her time or even eat food.... But we found this place and oh my god... The food is amazing... The service is fantastic.. And the prices are so reasonable! Lovely staff... Would defo recommend!!

Fantastic little cafe, good food and good price, but best of all the staff are really friendly and welcoming.

A very good choice of reasonably priced food. The sandwiches were good and the coffee was outstanding. The staff were friendly and helpful. Everything was fresh and the salad was quality.

This is a little gem in Dawlish, the food is homemade and absolutely delicious, we were here before Covid and so pleased to find it still open, can’t wait to come back.

Can't recommend this place highly enough. An extensive gluten free menu. Food freshly cooked and tasted great. Really good service too.

Food was lovely, place very clean, service very good too. We returned a couple of times, probably the best place we'd eaten all weekend, only big bear really is toilet next to kitchen , also mum ordered poached egg on toast. And extra piece of toast. Ended up with 2 eggs 4 toast and marmalade. Our own fault for not correcting himbi guess? Overall. Very pleasant. Would definitely go again.

A lovely atmosphere, great staff and fantastic food. Went twice in two days, firstly for a late breakfast then back the next day for lunch and to collect half a dozen gluten free homemade doughnuts (who knew!). A few doughnuts should have been desert but they all became takeaway items as the chocolate cake looked too good to be missed - it received top marks from the children. The Toblerone cheesecake I had for dessert is genuinely the best cheesecake I've had anywhere, it was remarkable. The only feedback I got on the doughnuts was "How is that gluten free!?" No other words were offered as doughnut consumption became the priority. I suspect we will be returning many times.

Ordered a small roast beef was extremely small for the price and i would definitely say it's only enough for a very small child of say about 7 years old or less.. Was 1 very small roast patato a tiny bit of broccoli and carrots and a very tiny bit of of cabbage.. What i had was very nice but just very small.. However the staff were very friendly. . My partner had the chilli con carne with rice this came in a wide lipped bowl mainly rice with very little mince and sauce making it very bland and dry. Won't be returning.

Fast takeaway coffee, friendly quick service good value. 5 mins from station

Absolutely lovely food! The scones were warm and cooked to perfection, the omlette and chips were huge and very good for the money that we paid. Lovely service from the owners too! Recommend going here if you would like a bite to eat or even a tea and scone. Thankyou! X

Home Kitchen specialises in gluten free food, and does a super job. As a coeliac I have been calling in here for many years when visiting the area. We usually visit late morning for brunch, and it is obvious that there are a number of regular customers, which is always a good sign. The menu offers a wide range of gluten free meals, (including a good selection of varieties of quiche) and a specials board. The gf bread is as good as I have eaten since diagnosed coeliac. My partner on a normal diet) always enjoys her meals here too, so we are both happy.

Love, love, love this place! What a lovely atmosphere and the food was delicious!

We were on holiday in Dawlish and decided to pop in for lunch, I ordered jacket potato with cheese and potato was only microwaved not very nice. My husband had a burger, the burger was only half the size of the bun, it looked ridiculous….

I visited with my disabled father, my mum and brother. Food was great. The young Portugese girl was really sweet and couldn’t have been more helpful. She was lovely. Thank you all of you.

Absolutely superb cafe. The full English is spectacular with some of the best bacon we’ve ever tasted. Friendly & quick service.

Always a Friendly welcome by Mark the owner. Great food and service. Recommended.

Very expensive £6.25 for a slice of Victoria sponge that was very dry. Disappointing

Really fantastic service and certainly cater for celiac sufferers

I went for a chicken pie but the food seemed to have a sand flavour I also tasted the chicken and bacon but the chicken was not creamy for my liking and I feel the homemade pastry had too much flour The milkshake was nice

Food was soooo nice. Will go as often as possible. Lots of choice. Positive experience. See you again soon. Thank you.

Very nice home cooked food. Everything on the menu is gluten free and cooked fresh. Had a smoked haddock and mozzarella fishcake served with salad. Happy to put in a takeaway box so I could enjoy in the park opposite with sweet black swans!

I'm thinking people who are not impressed with this cafe just don't post. Food took ages to come out, and it wasn't that busy when we went in. I had a jacket potato with tuna mayo, which was more mayo than tuna, and I can't explain how weird the potato was. It was really mushy and not pleasant. This was served in a wide ledged soup bowl, so salad was under the potato and soggy. Also, you can't cut anything on the ledge as bowl flips over. My husband had a sandwich, which was OK but served on a warm plate, so the side salad was wilting and dry. Like another review, we weren't asked if everything was ok. The cafe itself is very cramped. We had to squeeze into a corner (should have left then). All in all, it was disappointing and would not return

Lovely place, so many options for my coeliac daughter! Ordered donuts for collection the next day, which resulted in my daughter having a massive smile on her face! Will visit again when in the area for sure! The rest of the family who are not gluten free, really enjoyed the food as well.

I live in Dawlish and have said on several occasions I must pay a visit. Well today I did and will definitely go back again. I had one of the gluten free scones with a coffee ( the coffee was a bit strong so I will need to ask for a weaker coffee next time) it was slightly warm and was delicious. My Dad had a non gluten free tea cake and a pot of tea. It is nice that they offer gluten free and non gluten free options. They ask when taking orders if you have any dietary requirements.

Fantastic food and great value. Best gluten free menu I've ever seen.

Gluten Free! Great food. Good staff. Gets busy but waits aren't too bad. Call in advance to order your donuts!

Extensive gluten free options on menu. We were only wanting coffee and gluten free cake. The apple cake melted in the mouth and was delicious. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Definitely recommend and will be back.

Incredible! Our coeliac daughter had the most delicious cheese & onion pasty and chips to take away today. She usually has to miss out on the ‘yum food’ as often we cannot find anything for her needs, but we stumbled upon this gem today and were very happy with the service and quality of the food… and we had one very happy little girl! Thank you :)

What a gem of a place this is. The gluten free menu was extensive with everything from pasties to burgers and lots in between. I had the chicken, leek and bacon pasties and chips which I remember rightly are made on the premises. The home made Toberone cheesecake which was excellent. The gentleman who served us really knew his stuff. There was even gluten free brown sauce and vinegar too.

Omg! I cannot believe I found somewhere that does everything completely gluten free. We need more of these around. Great service and wonderful food.

excellent food we had breakfast and dinner and a lovely dessert all gluten free it was great to find somewhere that catered for gluten free so rare to find such a wide range of choices we were only in dawlish for the day but will be back staff were very friendly

Real good service, nice food, look forward to our next visit

The gent who does the mornings is always polite. Great quiet little place and always somewhere we come back to. Great breakfast at reasonable prices suitable for all ages.

My Husband Jeremy and Me Enjoyed Our Lunch Very Much, Thanks We also are pleased that 'Home Kitchen' is dog friendly and it was appreciated that water was brought for Zac our Spaniel, Many Thanks

The whole place is 5 star. The staff the food. And there under samtanding of food intolerances was 5 star. Never seen such a big gluten free menu. So glad we called in . Thankyou

Great gluten free cafe. The owner was very friendly and extremely helpful. A great range of gluten free food, including: cheese & onion pasty, pies and quiche. The donuts are freshly made and have to be pre-ordered (minimum of 6, but you can freeze them).

Brilliant place if you're gluten free owner is top guy on awareness for anyone who has food allergy, food is outstanding, young girl who served us was extremely helpful and again very knowledgeable on food awareness, excellent place to visit you won't be disappointed, pet friendly too, Top Marks

Good selection of foods and good prices.

Finally great to see somewhere that caters for ceoliacs the whole menu is GF. A great choice and good service..

Delicious cream tea. Friendly helpful staff

Love this place, just had the best GF All Day Breakfast. Thank you

I cannot rate this cafe high enough! The food and the service were outstanding. They coped amazingly with us, six people, a dog and a baby! We really enjoyed our lunch there and can thoroughly recommend.

Very friendly staff, very pleasant and welcoming, lovely little place 😊

Always a friendly welcome by Mark the owner. Good is good and Gluten Free, Dairy Free is well catered for, with a very good understanding of it. One of our favourite places to eat, or just have a drink in Dawlish. Also very handy for the shops and gardens. Recommended.

Lovely place, good food, always welcomed,I meet a friend in there for coffee,but since moving from Dawlish,not so often,can,t wait to go back

A lovely atmosphere, great staff and fantastic food. Went twice in two days, firstly for a late breakfast then back the next day for lunch and to collect half a dozen gluten free homemade doughnuts (who knew!).

No other words were offered as doughnut consumption became the priority. I suspect we will be returning many times.

This was not my first trip to Dawlish, neither was it the first time that I have visited Home Kitchen. I decided to go for the Full English Breakfast this time with a black coffee. The coffee was freshly ground and delicious. The breakfast was...

Excellent service. Very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this place

Lovely little cafe with a fantastic gluten free selection. Lovely gf pie and pasties and the gluten free doughnuts are amazing, taste like the real thing!

Einfach, bodenständig, nette Bedienung.

As my husband has a gluten intolerance we choose to go here for lunch as the menu is totally gluten free and the choice is extensive The staff are very pleasant and always willing to help you with choices and advice for diets

What a find! Not usual to find somewhere with such an extensive menu that caters for meat eaters, vegetarians, vegans and gluten free. We had the toad in the hole, freshly cooked (where on earth do you get that these days!!!), served on piping hot plates with oodles of gravy and fresh mashed spuds and veg....truly deserving of their business name of 'home kitchen'. When we return to Dawlish we will be going back here to sample some more home cooking, not to mention the delightful staff and amazing service with a smile. The place was very busy, with both visitors like ourselves and locals who obviously frequent it regularly (and if we lived there that would be us!). Thank you for a memorable home dining experience!

Suddenly lunch became a piping hot steak pie, veg and chips topped with a generous amount of thick gravy. The following day we dined at a long established inn at Dawlish Warren and wished we had returned to Home Kitchen. Excellent friendly and attentive service

This is a great little cafe, offering a really good selection of home-cooked food & daily specials, in a friendly & relaxed atmosphere. Particularly good for those with dietary requirements.

I had ham and chips. Chips were nice. The ham was processed

Always come here enjoy my bacon bap and a hot chocolate staff are always cheerful and fast service

Lovely little cafe, the owner was very nice and friendly. All the food made in here was gluten free, which was a lovely surprise, the notices and menus say gluten free available, so it was nice to find out everything made here is gluten free! We were in here just for a warming quick drink, but after find out about the food we ordered cake and cream teas, which we started eating before I remembered to take a photo, hence the half eaten cakes in this review! Would definitely go back, nice choice of food available as well as specials. The cakes and drinks we had were really nice, it’s dog friendly too!

Nice coffee and friendly people.

myself and my wife called in to the Home kitchen today for the first time for lunch as we were going to be walking from Dawlish to Teignmouth. My wife is primarily vegan and the range of foods and the description and help that the owner Mark gave was first class, we both had freshly cooked meals which was brilliantly presented and a joy to eat would thoroughly recommend

This cafe was an unexpected pleasure and we will definitely be back. For a start, EVERYTHING is GLUTEN FREE!!! They do have some 'normal' bread for those who want it...but it is the option. They also had at least four VEGAN options in the mains, and a dessert. They can also make their breakfasts (available till 4pm) vegan too (although they are no longer doing 'fake' meat replacement). The service was exceptional‐-friendly, helpful, polite, and they made sure to check if we were coeliac (not the issue for us). We were there for dinner, but they do breakfast and lunch too. The food itself was delicious, with fresh salad and chips to accompany each of our mains options. We each tried something different, but pastry-based ie a a vege tagine pie, a curry vege pasty, and a chickpea & butternut sqash pasty. Next time I'll try the vege tart. The apple crumble was also delicious! I think the pastries were reheated from frozen, but were really tasty and everything else on the plate was fresh. Finding this gem is going to make trips to Dawlish a real pleasure. The mains were between £9-£10, and the lunches were all under £5.

Absolutely fantastic food, loads made in house and extremely knowledgeable owner with food intolerances (gf and DF). My son had the cottage pie which was delicious I had the chicken and chorizo pasty. My partner had fish cakes and we both left room for dessert!...

Wonderful food especially deserts

Brilliant menu,competitive priceing.

Popped in to get out of the rain & ended up having lunch. The food is excellent & freshly cooked, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is relaxed. I’ll definitely drop in again when I’m in Dawlish

Been in better cafes, breakfast average

I feel like I'm kicking a puppy. Everyone loves this place so it pains me to give a negative review. The people we went with loved it and the folks in the café were singing their praises. The atmosphere is great with a homey local feel. The service was fast and efficient. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The food didn't meet our expectations. We ordered a pie and a pasty. These were taken from a freezer so they do not have a homemade feel. The pie and the pasty were delivered less than ten minutes later so they are speed cooked. The pastry was rubbery and the filling dry. We were not asked how our food was which was a relief because I would have hated to sound negative amongst the happy customers. The salad and chips that came with the food was good but the centrepiece was a let down. The meal with drinks cost over £10. I feel this was overpriced for the quality of food we received. Having said all this our friends couldn't help but talk about how good the food was all afternoon - to each their own.

My husband Jeremy and me enjoyed our gluten free meals thanks The team who work there pleasant and friendly See you next time we are in Dawlish Many thanks

Great service, lovely food, we will be back again

Fabulous, friendly restaurant with an amazing menu which includes many, many gluten free meals.

Thanks so much for providing gluten free options today your cafe is a inspiration to others! Lovely food and service. Please, I highly recommend this cafe as you will be in for a treat.

Great home cooked food. Friendly staff

The most amazing place - perfect for anyone and particularly those following a gluten free diet. So many gluten free options you’ll struggle to choose which is a treat in itself! Lovely friendly staff and really welcoming and helpful. Top marks ⭐️

We visited twice whilst on holiday. Our son has Gluten, dairy and soy intolerance and the staff really guided us through what he could have. We felt really looked after and he absolutely loved the food. On our second visit, I saw the staff also...

Lovely food plenty of it great service

2nd visit this week. Reasonably priced, very good food. Just a lovely place to have lunch with a big menu

We stopped here for lunch while exploring the town of Dawlish on holiday. The menu had lots of choice and was reasonably priced. The food and drinks came out in good time and were perfectly cooked. The staff were really friendly and attentive. 10/10. We...

The full English breakfast was lovely, along with the mushrooms and scrambled egg on toast (they kindly added mushrooms on for me). The staff members were attentive, polite and patient. The decor was nice and a good little find for breakfast.

First day in Dawlish and we needed a breakfast to fuel us up. Found Home Kitchen on TA with good reviews so off we went. When we arrived we were greeted by a lovely gent who sat us down and got us drinks why we...

Excellent cafe, must visit so many gf options, and excellent service Will visit again for the doughnuts

Fantastic service and such a wide range of gluten free deserts that are generally hard to find. We had scones and lemon morangue cake, and one of us had eggs with bacon which was all lovely. We didn't get to try the doughnuts as these are only available later in the afternoon, but we will surely be back next time we're around. Thank you
