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

Thank you for the lovely cream tea we had during our weeks holiday in Babbacombe. The cream tea was delightful with fresh heart shaped scones, homemade jam, clotted cream and a pot of tea.

We recently visited Angel’s tea parlour for the first time in many years. We found it to almost unchanged which was very nice. We sat down at table only to be informed that this table was reserved in one hour so we promptly moved to an adjacent table. We ordered cream teas, these were delivered quite promptly afterwards. We enjoyed... More

We have been visiting Angels for the last few years & I thought it a good idea to write a review this time. In the past the service & food outstanding. On our most recent visit the food again was outstanding, cherubs tea; sandwich filled with mozzarella, pesto & tomato & scone,served with two kinds of home-made jam and a... More
