Green Cafe - South Hams

We wanted a quick lunch so stopped in at the green cafe. The homemade lemonade was good. Unfortunately the egg mayonnaise sandwich was more of a mayonnaise sandwich- there was about 1/4 of a hard boiled egg in it. I did raise this and the staff immediately agreed to rectify this but sadly they didnt have any more egg mayo ready to go so it would have meant waiting a further 20 minutes for some to be made up or I could choose something else from the menu. I opted for the latter. In the meantime, the sandwich and the empty egg mayo tub were put on a tray together in my view and I noticed the tub had a sticker on the side saying use by 31/12 (date of my visit was 2/1) so I do hope this was not the case. Not surprisingly, by this point I had decided I didn’t want an alternative. We were subsequently offered a refund (without even having to ask) which I gladly accepted. All in all, I was disappointed by the quality of the food and won’t be returning. However, I have to say, the staff handled the issues I raised professionally, politely and kindly.

They have new owners and we had a great meal with excellent service. Kids loved the pizza and milkshakes. Have a good choice for a light meal recommend.

Veggie quiche with baked beans was really tasty and filling too. The staff are super friendly and there is such a happy vibe. The Indian food looks great too.

Had a homemade cheese scone, it was the best cheese scone I have tasted nice and warm as well, the staff were very helpful and friendly, definitely go back there, all the food is homemade, it looks and smells lovely

Not a fan of having to leave a poor review but I visited this cafe at the end of August and have to be honest about how it was. We were looking for a quick lunchtime snack after spending the morning in Totnes and Green cafe seemed to fit the bill. We were going to sit outside to eat but we’re told there was an extra cost so it was cheaper to takeaway which was not a problem at all and we ordered 2 x Cornish pasties for me and my wife, and pizza slices for my children and we walked down to the bottom of the town by the river to eat these. Sadly, the 2 Cornish pasties were warm on the outside and barely warm on the inside and weren’t particularly tasty. My boys described the pizzas as ‘ok’ and these were warm still. As we’d already been up to the top of the town we didn’t want to walk back up to top to raise this with the cafe but it was slightly disappointing at the price we paid for these. I wish every success for the cafe on the whole but need to be honest about our visit.
