Dog friendly outside. Don't be fooled by the pictures of all the dogs inside. Avoid if it rains. The bread pudding was amazing and huge (see picture), but we nearly missed our train because the rest of the order took forever. One of the other guests complained about waiting 25 minutes for their takeaway.

I was in Torquay for a few days. The hotel that I stayed in, provided a cooked breakfast but Cafedelmar’s prices were a lot more reasonable. I came here for my full English breakfast, every morning, and I really enjoyed it. It’s a lovely little cafe which has a warm and friendly atmosphere. I believe that customer service is very important as everyone should be greeted with a smile. All the staff who work here are really nice and welcoming. Come to Cafedelmar - you’ll have a great start to your day! Thank you to Mary, Dale and Leanne. Keep up the good work!

Great tasting full English breakfast, reasonable priced but bare in mind the coffee with the breakfast is a standard not a Latte or other coffees but you do get an OJ or other juice with it or the coffee if you want two cups.

I frequent this establishment often. The staff are always friendly and the food on point. Particular favourites of mine are- Bacon/sausage and hash brown tiger baguette to takeaway. Their omelettes with chips and paninis are incredible but you can't go wrong with a fry up to eat in aswell.
